Love, you're addicting
Warmth in winter
That fondles my heart.
A poetry of blood
Inked in history's
Greatest regrets
All I could do
Was stare from afar.
A whiff of your existence
My soul calms its cries
For your love, alas! I am
Addicted to the path
Of your breath from your toes
To your lips that just part
Enough to let my lungs
Survive till you start
Averting your gaze
From undeserving men
Why won't you, Love, let
Your eyes meet mine
And land on my face .
My exhausting patience
Wears off as you stay
Light years away
While I disintegrate
Every being in our way.
