In the name of love

He closed his eyes,

Why is it dark all around?

Everything is black...as kohl.

Like kohl in her eyes.

The black of her hair,

Seemed like a black ocean,

Like a scented ocean...

Her hands, as cold as ice

drenched in cold sweat.

Her hands trembled,

When he held them.

“Feel my heartbeat”...said he.

As she slowly placed her head on his chest,

She thought,

"What a beautiful way to ask someone for a hug”

And den he held her face,

to plant a full kiss on her lips.

As she closed her eyes,

He said…kiss me.

But not in the name of love!

She didn’t move,

She didn’t stop him.

But something within her spoke…

“Kiss him, in the name of love!”

Her eyes remained closed.

And a drop of tear rolled off her cheeks.
