“Pomegranate”

– by Bursa Kahraman

Crimson liquid bleeds onto my skin,

As he hands me seeds of the pomegranate,

The danger does not elude my wit,

But I feed on one for it tastes like medicine.

The delightful taste descends my throat, 

My love for him remains afloat,

Yet, the taste burns me to my core,

For I am adhered to him forevermore.
