Date Syrup Poem by FABIYAS M V

Date Syrup



Dark as departure
and sweet
as reunion, it's a
romantic
syrup resembling
an expat's
life. A sublime
state of
sweetness like a
wife's wait.

It's forbidden to
a diabetic
patient, but who
commits an
ecstatic sin, violating.
Rapture of
now is in a negative
impulse.

The expat squeezes
dry desert
for sweet syrup.
One sip
tempts into another.
