Tesem Ikima Poet Free verse

My Favorite Poem

There’s a poem in the shadow of your eyes 

I read it and feel the weight of your heart 

I touch it and know the strength of your mind. 

I kiss it and taste the tears that have dried. 

There’s a poem in the maps left behind 

The marks that stretch east to west like palm fronds on your right behind 

There’s a poem in the hospitality of your hands, warm and welcome every line 

Wears a safety badge if you’d patiently tarry. 

There’s a poem in the music of shared laughter singing perfect notes with you 

In good and bad. 

There’s a poem in you 

And I’m glad you are my favorite poem.
