Synchronisation

By: Sally S. Ali - England --

Do not dream of me
keep that ignition
that missing
inside of your nerves.

Let them hurt
love is a ticking bomb
I am your neutraliser
keeps you from exploding
keeps your ticks on.

Meet the people with a still face
Keep your smiles
for my eyes
Safe your telephone flirts
for my lips
Say them all
there

Hugs are fusions
synchronise
our heartbeats
made us a sonata
that moves and pauses
unified.

To catch
those seconds of silence
between all instruments

and
listen
to my sighs
saying
I am in love
with you.
