She Will Listen

She Will Listen 

For these words to be uttered unrestrained, cutting every gilding they ever were or would ever be 

They must make all pen fumble to record

And hopefully she will listen to the waves of my heart

A supernova one may say; my missive for her gentle eyes to read

And between the words 'I' and 'you' the letters may be asking too much

They may speak Arabic or English with a child-like intonation

Knitting the one sacred word, for by Allah they must quell any and all valedictions

She will listen.. I hope

As I dredge up fire and water in the same breath

And who knows? Perchance, she will say yes
