☯

Though I love the sound of your voice, do not sing me your last goodbye, though your warmth keeps me safe, do not hold me for the last time before you walk away. Please do know, that though I tell you I’ll be okay, my eyes will never rest through the undying night, for I am the ashes of fire burning out when you leave my sight.

Gazing into the star lit skies All I can reminisce are your dark eyes For the thought of you Leaves me blind to every light that is stark upon me.

Beauty has chosen to settle beaneath your skin, to derive me from my sanity, to give you all that acquires me and admire all that acquires you, infinitely.

You wrapped your arms around me Like a flower’s roots holding on to the ground And it felt like I was never safe Without you around You whispered to me what you’d always say That you promise me the world And I told you like I always did That you meant everything And the world meant nothing.

But my dearest, all the places you left empty speak to me longing for your presence. But my farthest, the days between us seem longer every second my thoughts find their way back to you. For I too, am longing for your presence.

“I fear your choice of walking away and I fear the pain of losing you for I love you in such a way that questions my power to possess such love for someone else.”

I stumble upon the thoughts of us Breathing the same air Living under the same sky Gazing at the same moon And I think to myself Maybe we aren’t that far apart Maybe strangers isn’t all we will ever be.

My sun, My moon, You are not just another poem. My love for you will not fade away when I have written it down, And I shall keep writing till my dying days approach For you are the poem that will never end.

اتَذكر أول مَرَّة التقيتُ بِك و كيف تَمنيتُ ان أُقضي كُل ساعاتي معكَ اخبرني يا صديقي البعيد، يا ليتك قريب، هل رأيت الحُب يضوي في عَيناي هل سمِعتَ الارتجاف في صوتي عندما التقيت بِك لأول مرة و رأيت الجمالَ كُلِّه في عيناك و الراحة كلها بِصوتك و الأمان بِجِوارك. يا صديقي البعيد، إنني فقدتُ روحي بعيناك و لم أنسى أبدا، أول مرة التقيتُ بِك.

I want to hear your voice trace the letters of my name And see your eyes reflect the love that has consumed me I want to promise you my forever And spend eternity with you Because darling My love for you is undying.

And if the right time approaches our days And you are still not mine, I will suffer a thousand breaks with a heart that longs for you I will cry a thousand rivers with eyes that crave you I will lose myself between the aching thoughts of you The way I wished to find myself between your arms.

He is my greatest fear And I, a victim of his love For I have poured all my love out for him Therefore he holds my strongest weapon He is my only savior, And I, a survivor.

I look at you and I see something different Something I’ve been chasing my whole life Something that I’ve failed to seek In everybody else.

I write words to you hoping one day you’ll read them I crave your presence right next to mine I ache for your warmth that shelters my heart I imagine what it’s like to call you mine I love you with all that acquires me, wishing one day you will too.

I ache for your presence by me I break upon the miles that lay between us. To you, who is worthier than my skies Do look me in the eyes And show me that my pain Is worth every second I crave to spend with you.

Maybe in another life I knew you And maybe we were lovers Made right for each other Maybe a part of that still lives in me Maybe that's why I feel at home When my eyes settle into yours.
