Encounter Poem by Safiyyah Manjra

When I am with you,

It feels as if there is a calming breeze free from all calamity,
Nothing but simplicity.

Your voice soothes every shaking bone.
Each word spoken in perfect tone.

I almost fell into your strong arms.
I managed to stay a brace with reality…

Then your touch.
It's the first time.

My strong heart beat slithers through my veins,
I quickly move, trying ever so hard not to blush.

You look disappointed.
I have been relieved.

Our eyes met…
I moved back, but you reeled me in.

A total bliss.
