Your love

When the sun has fallen
Is when the moon is shining
When the stars are shining
Is when the sun has dimmed out
When the day is dying
Is when the night is  upsurging
When the darkness is glowing is when man is sleeping

Its all dark and creepy
Seconds milking to minutes, and minutes to hours Yet My eyes are  weiry as My heart
And my heart  as gloomy as My night.

To seek an eye from the blind!
What logic is that?
Then i slipped out of My bed
In My pure white silky nighty, into My soft scenting pure white prayer mat
I rocked My body in sujud and ruku'
I stood confident reciting the long suras
I sat relaxed with My hands up in full Faith and hope
That God shall bring My morning close in ease

I dozed off holding on to My Quran
And the Subh Adhan turned a whisper of your name
Your picture was the early morning light
The thoughts of you become like that dawn cool breeze
And in two shakes of a lamb's tail you become that morning i've long awaited for
Sparing me the hot sunny afternoons and the gloomy eerie nights
Which for My resolute faith in God i do not wish to vacillate
I only wish to love and cherish you till My last
Because it is when you ascented that My pain has collapsed
It is when  Your love  flourishes that My eyes have drained
And it is only when you stay that My love could mellow
