Jannat Ahona Poems

You are my deepest ache yet the sweetest wound.
The one that I don't want to heal
The one that I remember as it bleeds
I see my death in your eyes
...

A thick fog concealing my bygone and my existent
With drowsy numbness in my chest
I feel the hemlock start its deed
No opiate could offer serenity
...

Love is intertwined with pain
Day after day, my prayers confess the pain of wanting you still.
My two crazy eyes only crave your gaze.
If God exists, it's in your eyes, demanding praise.
...

How many volumes must we burn
before you recognize the scent of the smoke?
Don't you know the epilogue?
Believe me,
...

Is the truth found in the words we speak, or
In the silence that follows them?
There are ghosts in our blood that have no names
And we will tuck them into the soil like mysteries
...
