I Love You Back Youssef Khalim

"I Love You Back" is a collection of poems, exchanged between her, and he who adores her. In the first selection, Skworch invites Orca, a wild, and free-spirited whale to "come along and swim with me, to a place that we both know, across the ocean, to and fro... Take me on your back, and let me ride with you. I'll whisper to you, where to take me to. In the exchange piece, "Orca Too," Khalim responds, "I'd love to see you wild and free to match the spirit of Orca. So, come with me to the edge of the sea to hitch a ride on Orca. And you will find what you want to know in your going to and fro... I long to see you, frolic, play to cool you off in the heat of the day. I want to see you, swim along, as you remake the ocean home... So, I'd love to see you astride; gliding on Orca, slashing through the waves, leapfrogging through the top soil of the ocean, flying, nullifying (embryonic hurricanes)... Like I was saying: We must get down to the edge of the sea and match the spirit of Orca: Powerful, beautiful.
