Words 
Simran Ahira

I watch as the light paints itself over your body

And I feel so jealous

That it can touch so much of you at once

There are so many things I want to say to you 

But often they fall off 

                   of the words

                 I try

              to balance

                    them on

Because words can’t take the weight

I search for something stronger

But all I can find is a silent gaze

A bridge from me to you

I hope it can hold the things that pass across

And I hope you can hear them
