Abosede

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!

Love? No thanks!






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.

Heartbreak

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.

Beauty in Pink

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.

You. Yes you.

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.

You. Just you.

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.

God’s blessing

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.

In Love

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

Crazy or in love

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

Ode to a secret love

Like the fluid in a coconut,
No one knows the color.
And like the night
Hides its secret well
I will keep this between us

And the fact that you,
Yes! you!
mean a lot to me
Would be guarded safely.
Like a mother protects her child.

What will be will be
I will not fly
If I do not jump.
Icarus or Zeus?
We will find out.

I’ll start the battle of Troy
And the Third World War
probably sign the Paris Treaty
Solely for you.

But for now,
Let’s see where the river flow
Ocean of love?
Or lake of past mistakes?
The dawn is soon upon us.
