Stripped bare

We enclose our souls,
Waiting, to find
The right key
To unlock our innermost selves
To find a connection.
A breakthrough
A miracle of all miracles
A bridge to take us towards a paradise


A mere human to unwind
The tight coil we turn our souls into.
A steel cage we place over hearts.
But do we see, do we open our eyes, our minds
That anything is possible. Anyone is a possibility.
That we are able to cast aside
Our stilted minds, shortsighted visions
Of the person we desire to find.


The fire to my ice
A love like no other
For we make our own version of love
Where no other compares.
Where he became the colour
To my black and white world I live in
Where all I see is the wandering knight
Who found his damsel to save



Tall dark and handsome
A feat impossible for others to see
Only meant for the eyes of his better half
Chocolate brown would best describe him
One glance, one look is all it took
Sparks of love, of dreams, of laughs, of memories being made,
Till I reach this stage
Of feeling so stripped right down to my soul
Where a moment apart
Feels like a year apart.


Where minutes feel like hours and hours feel like days.
Where I wish you could take a day off
When only yesterday did you
already satisfied my desire.
A flame that is never ending.
That burns bright when you light it.
That never wants to burn out.
That lights up the seconds that lead to your arrival
That brings with it a new found hope and kindles a different sense of joy each day
A feeling of longing and gratitude to realize
We have the rest of our lives
Of hopefully years to spend and cherish
And dreams and memories to hold onto.
For forever is you.
Always has been
even when I never knew it.
Always will be

 (in sha Allah)
