Sonnet by Fatima Azeem

 Sonnet

The flavor of orange isn’t that sweet,

tell me why it reminds me of you, then?

I look for you in everything, even.

See, I’m not a star, I’m not talented.


My words aren’t special, and I keep thinking,

will this matter anyway? Should I stop?

But I can’t, because no matter the color,

you will rattle my mind every damn time.


Metaphorically, may I say, and

right, dramatically, through this I may…

even taste the colors that you favor.

My conscience will run in circles, but I?


I will not care, for my life will be worth,

So much more than what I would like to say.
