the air cool
this night
on my balcony
and though there are no stars
in this city sky
my eyes find comfort
in the darkness
seeking comfort
these long nights seeking comfort
an unquiet mind
a riddled heart
these long nights
seeking comfort
in the warmth
of arms
an expatriate’s wish
standing in bare feet
exiled in a distant land
seeking some comfort
with the aroma of mint
floating on the evening air
