Did I Tell You That? - Visitor's Love Poem
by Sihem Hammouda
(Tunisia)
Did I tell you that I love your eyes when you smile
because they turn into a piece of moon enlightening my dark life miles?
Did I tell you that I love when you frown
because you remind me of a tired sleepy night happy with the arrival of the dawn?
Did I tell you that I love when you get angry and make me cry
because after thunder and rain, the loving sun comforts the anxious sky?
Did I tell you that I love my name
because of you, for when you say my name it looks like a hymn whispered by a lost angel?
Did I tell you that I know when you don't like my silly jokes but you smile on them?
Did I tell you that I love you and I will always love you in all my seasons, winter, spring, summer, and autumn?
