The Words Under Words (For S, The Eternal Love Of My Life) Poem by Mohammad Yousef

In the quiet corners of my mind,
where shadows dance with whispers,
there lies a language unspoken,
woven in the fabric of our days—
a tapestry of glances,
of fingertips brushing like soft rain,
of laughter that bubbles in the silence
between heartbeats.

Here, the words are deeper than the sea,
hidden beneath the surface,
where the tides of our souls
rise and fall in unison,
carrying the weight of dreams,
the salt of shared tears,
the gentle echo of promises
made in the stillness of the night.

In the spaces where syllables rest,
I find you—
a constellation of moments,
each star a memory,
each flicker a heartbeat,
lighting up the vast expanse
of my longing.

You are the poetry that lives
in the pauses,
the breath between the verses,
the heartbeat in the rhythm,
the pulse that quickens
when I speak your name,
a name that dances
on the tip of my tongue,
a sweet refrain
that lingers long after
the last note has faded.

We are the architects of our own lexicon,
building bridges with the silence
that speaks louder than thunder,
crafting sonnets from the mundane,
turning the ordinary into the extraordinary
with every shared sunset,
every stolen moment,
every breath that intertwines
in the sacred space we create.

I trace the contours of your soul,
mapping the uncharted territories
of your laughter, your fears,
your hopes, your dreams,
with every word spoken
and every word unspoken,
each a thread in the fabric
of this love we have spun—
a love that defies gravity,
that soars like the wind,
that finds beauty in the unvoiced,
the unseen, the unuttered.

Oh, my beloved,
in the realm of words under words,
we are infinite,
a universe of meaning
waiting to be discovered,
a symphony of silence
that resonates in the depths
of our intertwined hearts.

Let us wander deeper,
beyond the surface,
into the delicate weave
of what lies beneath,
for in that sacred space,
in the quiet utterance of our souls,
we find the essence of eternity,
the pulse of forever,
the words that carry us
through the dawn of each new day,
and in the twilight of all our tomorrows.

Together, we write our story,
a love letter to the universe,
a testament to the beauty of the unseen,
the words under words,
where you and I
are forever intertwined,
an eternal echo
in the symphony of existence.
