BareFoot
I am sleeping, dreaming of you,
I hear your voice
like a whispering wind
gliding through my body
kissing my forehead…
I open my eyes wide,
sit for a second,
and start to Run,
following the air that hold your scent,
I reach in middle of The trees,
the forest of whispering pines…
I still can hear your voice
while breathing in your scent
but you are nowhere to be seen,
Like Always…..!
I come back to my place,
with aching heart,
I look at my feet and smile
like always…
My feet are drenched in blood,
Ankles are Sore,
As I always Run towards you,
following you anywhere
in such a haste,
I am Always Barefoot…
Fatima Usman
Mine …
I love the Blue
of an Ocean
I love its depth which buries the dark
and Reflects the light…
I love the Blue
of the sky
that holds the mysteries
Serves as anyone’s hideaway…
Blue is the bright,
the comforting,
and hide my tears so well…
He is the Sky to me,
He is my ocean,
Blue is what’s My love is
I love the Blue…
Fatima Usman
The Breathing Water…
Here is the river I cried for you
I melted away slowly to give it life,
Take it , its yours…
You can dive and discover
the world underlying
buried in my emotions,
Drowned rays of hope
never to surface,
Some hidden pearls of romance,
Broken treasure of ruby heart
and
the Sunken ship of love…..
Here is the river i cried for you,
Its Yours ….
Fatima Usman
