Intentions
I have but one wish, to make you my bride,
To stain your hands with henna,
And have my name bloom there in quiet lines.
I would gather all your sorrows into my palms,
I would offer myself in their place.
I carry this longing.. to call you mine.
Oh beloved, it is not so hard… just look at me.
My entire world finds its home in your eyes.
And someday, listen gently
To the words my heart could never speak.
