A Brink Of Bread Poem by Mohammad Yousef

By Mohammad A. Yousef

A brink of bread waits,
Crusty promise on the plate,
Love's feast, bittersweet.

God may turn away,
But my heart finds its own way,
In your warmth, I stay.

Each crumb tells a tale,
Of laughter shared in the sun,
And tears in the rain.

I whisper your name,
As shadows lengthen and creep,
My soul's quiet flame.

In the silence deep,
Faith and longing intertwine,
You, my heart's true keep.

A simple meal shared,
Yet it's more than bread and wine,
It's love laid bare, dared.

Though heaven may frown,
In your eyes, I see the light,
A love so profound.

So let the world judge,
For in you, I find my grace,
A joy, not a grudge.

A brink of bread waits,
In this life, where love is king,
I choose you, always.
