We Must Be One (C) 5-23-2010 Poem by Zahir Kijani

I felt her heart beating inside of my chest,
I felt her pain in my stomach,
I felt my hands in her fingertips,
We must be one.

I cried her tears in her sorrow,
She rubbed my fingers through her hair,
I kissed her lips into mine,
We must be one.

I quenched her thirst with her water,
She fed my stomach with my food,
I walked her feet in my shows,
We must be one.

I held her arms around me,
She crossed my fingers in with hers,
She kissed my lips into hers,
We must be one.
