Insatiable Dreams
written by: Aminath Neena
She is the libretto to which his poetry
could not find a rhyme
Yet she was his sonnet
She is the mystery to which his sagacity
failed to produce a key
Yet she was his kismet
She is the tempo for which his symphony
could not compose a rhythm
Yet she was his lyrics
She is the touchstone of his velocity
with which he failed to ploy
Yet she was his wings
She is the hyperbole for which his trenchancy
could not opt for a suitable satire
Yet she was his literature
She is the paper for which his destiny
had omitted to spare some ink
Yet she was in his past, present and future
She was his “wish upon a star” melody
As he was her good luck charm
And yet… his lips would never taste hers
