Reasons for Love

Samer Amin

 

 

 

I cannot draw you except as a flower at my barred window.

 

 

 

I cannot draw you except as a sunbeam passes through the thick curtains of my bedroom and dispels its gloom.

 

 

 

I cannot draw you except as the meaningful thoughts dissolved between the lines of my old thick heavy books.

 

 

 

I cannot draw you except as my only friend that always walks with me on my long way, during my misty nights, away from this world.

 

 

 

I cannot draw you except as a dream that has been materialized into the shape of beautiful eyes which do not radiate anything except love and care.

 

 

 

I cannot draw you except as a tree in an arid land, within its tender branches, accommodates migrating birds, and under its boughs, shades weary travelers.

 

 

 

I cannot draw you except as a homeland and as an awaiting mother's hug, after a long travel of her son.

 

 

 

I cannot draw you except as a love song I always hear it when the moon comes back from its regular journey and shades its silver rays on my high barred window again.

 

 

 

I cannot draw you except as a red heart on my front door, and when my neighbors ask me about the reasons for my love, I will answer them:'' Your Love is my Reasons.''

      Thank you Andy for your kind words.

      I was really alluding to the importance of our love towards God the almighty, and how we can feel and perceive this love in every beautiful aspect of this world.

      • Jerry Reynolds

        A fine write Samer. Drawing is caressing.

        • Samer Amin

          Thank you Jerry!

          That's right, drawing can be very similar to caressing, because it may imply an abstract platonic way of expressing romantic affection without getting engaged in more deeper physical way of expressing these feelings.

          Thank you Jerry for your ingenious observation.
