Theme : Love
After
by Roger Humes

After we connected
               with the echo of the gospels, broken hymns
Arabic thought
               after we weaved the finest of tapestries,
the holy spirit, Attar’s flock of birds
               shattered the illusion of self-portrait,
silence was never an option, the history of my wounds
                mirrored the pain of your self-inflicted cry,
and my voice broke its fast to tell you
                the moment I began to love you
was when your poems made me realize
                what happened before
didn’t belong to us.
