Love, like the reins of virulent breeze, An infectious melody that summons all that its eyes seize, Racing through the valleys of our hearts Would that it would never end, nay Would that it would never start, Torturous serenity, in the hollows of my soul, Fuming fragrances, in my heart, consuming all Love, Peace, As all except the beloved, Break and Fall. Into pieces, Break and Fall.
What is it all worth? Cyclical suffering, it seems since our very birth- we enter this world in pain, tears of a newborn soul-- an introduction to sorrow--the happiness that life stole. She was told of her impending death, adding more to life's gloom-- still I'd see her smile, even as death would loom. She'd cook, she'd eat, she'd love, she'd sleep, she'd even play a game or two-- to the point that I'd wonder if she forgot what death would do-- like what's the point in living if you were told death is coming, and knew
Its indeterminate the doctor said, cancer, and were' not quite sure when you'll be dead.It could be sooner or later, we can't cure you, it will surely grow in size, till it leads to your demise--I'm sorry Eve, as he stares into her eyes, three kind words but its as if the doctor lies.
How could he be sorry--he has no idea perhaps he means pity.
You see she is no different than you and i, except that she now stares at death right in the eye, while we blink and cower, even though death is promised to us all, and may come at any hour.
Her eyes betray her sombre reality. We spoke, we laughed, we lived and I could never so much as glean past the glee before me. What it is to live life knowing? Would the candles of our life still flicker?
Her candle is still alight.
She smiles still, even as death looms. Even as death is in plain sight.
Rest in God's peace.
(P.S. please recite the opening chapter of the Quran (fatiha) for her soul)
Dark tears, Revelations of an unruly heart, The seamstress who's seams have strewn apart Revelations of an unruly heart, I am your ego, cast in cast Iron, Savoured by itself, by it's Self. Truth, sounding my Inner Siren A vestige of divine promises. Revelations of an unruly heart, A casualty to self-Love An unfeathered dove, Crying livid tears, Revelations of an unruly heart, Heaven hold me at my temple, How i long to be free, Spiritual serendipity, For even your favoured children were orphans, Reared by divinity. Revelations of an unruly heart, Favour my orphaned soul whose crevices have hardened into sullen scabs of ember and coal, Crying dark tears Revelations of an unruly heart,
i wish you'd take a moment and smile, life is less than a frown and more than a smile, its a short journey, an hour perhaps a mile--- It feels like forever but really it only lasts a while, so look forward to tomorrow, with glee, a world of happiness and experience waiting to be---
so smile,
i wish you'd just take a moment to just smile,
I know God has great intentions and that no life is in vain, like the beauty of birth beyond the pain,
Smile, i wish you'd smile,
I know yesterday has its regrets but remember its just history, and tomorrow, is never set, it will always be a mystery,
so don't fret, just smile, happiness is in you, look no further than within, and go further when within
She taught me with her abysmal eyes, Of lessons, painfully, in time, learnt Arcane truths etched into the mounds of her furrowed skin, Assorted wrinkles, of life's wounds, thick and thin, Teach me, i pled, for my heart yearns to see, Past life's pain and pleasure, What life means to be.
Is happiness a rumour tattled between divine ears? Is man's ego an inversion of his greatest fears? What lies beyond the orchard of life? Death? Brute cessation or a lasting breathe?
Why do you smile old lady, in the midst of life's troubles and toil?
She sunk to the ground beneath her, saying hither i came, and I will return to this very soil
Happiness is a state, not a smile, pleasure, or a laugh for a while Surely, life is a stranger to stillness, so do not exhaust your hearts hope, sadness will leave just as it comes, and it is meaning that will help you cope.
So much that I could say or do to show that I love you I'd paint the night's sky, white and blue, Just to brighten up your day, I'd write a language, letters and words too Just to express what my heart has to say, I love you, more than the words that I speak, I love you, more than the letters that i seek, I love you, beyond what you could ever conceive Coils of fragrant love, jasmines strewn into a weave I love you, more than you would ever believe.
