Ode to expression

Ode To Expressions

By Madiha Naeem

To say what is in my heart. 
Is a desire I suppress. 
The way that you inspire me. 
Even poetry cannot express. 
The stars don't shine enough, 
To describe the sparkle in your eyes. 
Not a million clustered together. 
Through infinite number of skies. 
Why can I see the sunrise 
In a single grain of sand? 
Only if you've loved, 
Can you ever understand. 
My enemy is time, 
Like a candle burning hot. 
Melting quickly when I'm with you, 
And slowly when I'm not. 
If ever I dare to ponder 
This liaison we secure. 
I find a bizzare perfection 
which is best if left obscure.
