Of Fragmentary Happiness | A Poem by Aamna Mohsin

In a dark dark night

About you I reminisce,

Crawling towards you 

I fall into the abyss.

Where I see you
With your immense love,
Holding me tight
Where I am the dove.

Your eyes so glittery
Filled with fire,
Igniting my soul
To my heart's desire.

I place my palms
In your sulking hands,
And drain my soul
Into the gullible sand.

You come closer
I feel some sting,
I wanted to fly
But couldn't feel my wings.

You sat by my side
With your head on my chest,
Endlessly you cried
Till your eyes screamed for rest.

Your smell in my veins
Travels faster than light,
As I fasten you for good
To my world, to my sight.

Your thriving self and rage
Made me euphoric,
A wake up from my dream
And the sting makes me sick.

And there you sail away
Blurred and pale you look,
Fueling my obsession, a little more
With you, my poise, you took.

And there I see the giant sea
Swelling upon the vehement tide,
The night ended, and so my fear
And back into verity, I slide.
