Gamji Poetry: Eternal Longing  By Musa Aminah Can I love you like a shooting star streaking across the night sky? Can I confess the depths of my heart's desires? For your beauty enchants me, like a tale spun by folklore's fireside. I'm addicted to you, like a potion that consumes my very being. A day without glimpsing your face feels like an eternity lost in time. Always yearning to be by your side, like a sailor longing for the shore.

Love, like a persistent cough, refuses to be contained or silenced. Your charms bewitch me, like a...
