À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier en ce jour de la St-Valentin.

When I look into your eyes,

I am penetrating your soul, not because I have to

but

because it is the way I choose to see you.

I choose to see your naked soul,

trace my fingertips around the stories written on your body

that make you, you.

I am addicted to the depth of what cannot be described

because in a world so shallow, I am one of the luckiest.

To be able to feel everything so deeply,

is a magnetic desire that I have with the universe.

Our paths might not be intertwined

but

our worlds are full of magic.

Roses with thorns, I am still beautiful.

I do not prick but I bleed.

If you look me in the eyes,

you will finally understand why we collided.

Hold my gaze long enough

and

you will see why the universe chose impact over mercy

Ayesha Nilmadhub

With law degrees in hand and a poet’s soul, she writes to connect, to feel, and to linger in the quiet truths of the human spirit. At the intersection of logic and lyricism, her work gives measured voice to what often remains unspoken. Her debut poetry collection is forthcoming, offering an intimate exploration of the human heart. “Welcome your heart and trust the universe as it unfolds”, she says.
