Double Vision Poem by Mehreen Mujeeb

It is with these eyes
That I have seen you.

It is with these hands
That I have held yours.

It is with these feet
That I have scurried to you.

It is this heart
That was always yours.

I did not know of love
As more than an acquaintance
Until I grew so close to you
That the mirror never showed me alone.

It was when I walked into you
That I walked into love
It was when you walked with me
That the grass grew softer.

It is only with you
That my tears are like dew
Wiped away
By the breeze in your breath.

Before you
I knew not
Of a snow flake
Like I possess
I knew not
The blunder of the sky
To make one like mine.

There you are
Right before me
In the tranquil moonlight.

A light the sun
Blushes to show.

In my arms
There is a sunset
And a moon rise.

In my arms
There is a warm wind
And icy raindrops.

In my arms
There is you

In my arms
There was always
Emptiness for you.

In my arms
There will always be
Only you.

I hope your vision
Sees double too.
