though we met on earth
from the heavens we set free
though i gaze at the mirror
your reflection is all i see
though we loved so different
understanding is what we had
though i lived in poetry
it was your stories that i craved
though i cannot send you a rose
instead i offer its fragrance
in return i ask no more than
a moment of your presence

from the heavens we set free Inspired by a story I had heard (long time ago) about a place known as al alam al dharr – the land our souls existed in, before we are born. The time we spent there echoes through our life on earth
I never write poetry for Valentines Day, but I needed to create some promo material for my work and it inspired me to keep writing :)
(so grateful that I can express some of my creativity at work)
