Words Are All I Have Poem by asma bahrainwala
Words Are All I Have
Your deep guttural voice
Sets each cell ablaze;
Your varied intonations
Evoke myriad passions within;
But the ecstasy
Soon fades away,
As I hear a crack
In your sobbing voice
Lifting all the veils
Revealing your bruised soul beneath.
I reach out to you
With my arms flung wide,
Wanting to take you in my embrace
And provide a healing touch
—To caress fear out of your tender soul
To wipe the dewdrops from your teary eyes
To console your aching heart—
But soon I realize that the distance between us
Is too great to traverse in space
So I have to make do with poor words.

'But soon I realize that the distance between us Is too great to traverse in space So I have to make do with poor words.' I liked these lines a lot. Beautiful poetry, philosophy, excellent.

I see a lot of awareness in this piece, and I'm impressed with your ability to use 'poor' words well to express heightened awareness.
