A name that has always been attached to perfection;
A name that has always made me smile;
A name that in itself is beautiful;
Maryam; cool, cool and collected.
Harbinger of smiles, laughter and joy.
If not you, then who?
Our first son could be Isa:
What would that make me?
Certainly the happiest man on earth,
You being by my side breeds confidence.
I want you,
Just you and no other.
Maryam, would you be mine forever?

The only thing constant is change. Then there is absolutely no reason to change that which has been constant. This is for you, my sunshine!
Sliding in and out of your DM is bliss
Harbinger of laughter, my source of joy
And Banisher of bad thoughts.
Kleptomaniac? Cause you stole my heart
And I’m ensnared in your web of friendship
People come and go,
But you’ve never left me.
You know so much about me,
Even things that I’ve forgotten.
Your voice,
Your laughter,
Your japes, all herald serenity.
The calm in this sea of chaos.
I’ve searched far and wide,
Even sent Sir Google on a quest.
But to no avail.
And here you are,
An epitome of class and perfection.
Wouldn’t you rather be with me forever?
I want you for as long as forever last,
And I give you my word!

Like an eagle
I have to soar
But first,
I have to get free
From weights pulling me l down.
Soar high
Glide away into the sky
But first,
I have to be free.
I offered you my heart
And I watched you break it
I gave you my all
And I saw you break me
Thousands of promises
And you broke all
Good memories
All turned sour
But there is one thing you can’t take
My faith.
I believe in love
And I will find mine.
My own soul mate.

When I sighted you in pink
Beauty. Perfection. I made a link
Dreamt of you I have
In my free time, I do think
Of the characteristics you’d have.
Of your smile,
I’ve heard your voice
I’ve heard you laugh
But nothing prepared me
For your electrifying smile
The glorious orbs of wonders
That doubles as your eyes.
The way your skin looks
Like an angel in flesh.
Long lines of poetry short
You are beautiful.

No matter how hard I try
To reject the feelings, to deny
The fact that I want you
My little Angel in blue
Your radiant beauty
Brings me peace, tranquility.
Your smile
Your ambitions, desires, career
Makes me want you more
I know I can wait longer
But I’d rather you love me sooner
So, our together can be forever
Earlier.
And for longer.

Asleep and awake,
Dream land or in reality
Hogwarts or Narnia
Day or night
In Star Trek or Star Wars
Hot weather or cold
It’s you. Just you
When I sleep
I dream of you
When I’m dreaming, it’s you
Just you.
I wake up and your thoughts sprout in my soul
I’ll be awake
And it’d still be you.
Here I am again, awake
Thinking about you.
Just you.

All I want is Allah’s blessing
His divine Barakah
And having you beside me
Is like Jannah comes early
And every single day
I will be full of praise
Alhamdulilah
I give thanks to Allah for thee
And though your face looks stressed
With a million things on your mind
Let me make you full of smiles
And be with you through thick and thin.

I’d have liked to be yours
But the time isn’t right
I’d have liked to make the time now
But I don’t know what is on your mind
So I’ll admire you from afar
And immerse myself in your perfection
Glare at your beauty from yonder
And I am going to be with you sooner or later

I made a steel casket
And buried my feelings
Ten feet into the ground
I wasn’t expecting the outcome.
Even the hardest seed
Of them all
Will finally break its dormancy
And what I feel is viable!
How do I know it’s love?
What I am feeling
Is either love
Or insanity.
Crazy in love
