In these eyes

And in a magical way you've made your way inside ..
In my own world, you've discovered.

Under this thick over sized sweater I hide within' myself..
Head in a trance..
The night is young and sleep wont take me.

Experiencing You.
You're beneath my skin...
Like the oxygen flowing through my blood..
Nobody but the lovers of the world know this feeling.

A hypnotic melody repeating itself...
I find my soul dancing to its tune..
Swirling on a high, head in the milky way...

Feeling all of you within' me...
Feeling myself in everything.

In these eyes and this smile, you live.

Fallin' stars

Alhamdulilah....
For being able to witness the beauty there is in the world..
No matter how dark it may appear..
There is always the silver lining...
The first bloom..

Alhamdulilah...
In life full of bittersweet.
To have the capacity to love and to witness love.
Not of fairy tales...
But of pure light,and all that is in the cosmos...
Falling stars we are...
And the journey doesn't end..

Seek within' ourselves..
You'll see the world with a new set of eyes..
That of a newborn.

Beauty is never too far.
Every moment has a treasure.
Every moment is a revelation.

Chalice

And she loves to the utmost degree..
Her cup always full..
Sweeter than the sweetest of honey..

What an emotion...
The mere mention of You.
You, whether seen or felt..
Overflows the chalice.

What a sensation he stirs within' her breast..

Her inner most self overflowing.

A.S.

This ocean

And she sees not with her two eyes,
But the eyes of her heart.

Immersed in a love, this deep ocean..
He gently floats to the top..

You may not know your direction,
But I'm well aware..
You're not where I am not.

Ya Omri drift on and on..
Your soul graces this ocean.



A.S.

Bigger than us

Just because you love someone..
Doesn't mean you have a right..
Sometimes to really love a person, is to stand back..

It doesn't always mean goodbye.

You can't miss what was never yours,
Even when the heart says otherwise..

Sometimes it means holding your own weight of emotions to yourself..
To not feel compelled through words, but demonstrate tender care in our actions..
To understand sometimes expression is in the quiet place..
To be content with the truth within' ourselves.
Soul versus flesh, it's truly mind over matter.

Sometimes what is necessary isn't the easiest thing to accept..
But when you truly love someone, you are willing to try..

Its an art of selflessness..
To have faith in the order of the cosmos..
To know the answers are bigger than ourselves.

The answer is bigger than you or me.



A.S.

You're of silver linings

To the one friend I've always sought, the one I always needed,,
I couldn't find you,I didn't know you, still I believed in you.
You've come to me upon a breeze,
Through heavy rain and glistening morning dew..
Still yet resilient, always by my side.
Never seen, but always felt..

You've taught me that..
I was never truly as alone as I had ever felt..
You've taught me to be my own friend and to love myself.
You've been the pleasant reminder of what I know to be buried inside.
All these things are at your very core..
You've shown me through example..
And Oh, what a beautiful example you are.

You're so much more than my mirror dear friend..
You nurtured the seed inside..
Gentle love, the opium of a life worth living.

Through every storm, you are the omnipotent silver lining..
Through calmer weather, you are the soft breeze that envelopes me.

You are more than you perceive,
Yet I understand it all very well.
The truth resides within' me.
Your proof is right in front of you..
Shes looking back at you!
For once believe in these words I say.

You've brought me a fuller life..
Filling the void I had been haunted with.
No other could sparkle & reflect back at me like you do, no other will.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say..
You are what you see..
Two meditations from one light, is what we are..

Here we are shining.
Not of yesterday, not of tomorrow..
But Now and Always.

My dearest friend, praise be to Allah..



A.S.

Tonight or tomorrow

Although I've witnessed hate and love in many forms..

What a miracle it is to even feel..
Love may bring us joy and pain…
Yet I would not change this balance of the two emotions..
Without the darkness, how could I have come to witness such ambient light?

A miracle of love has saved me from becoming like the numb, hollow, walking dead..

Satisfied with the treasure in my heart..
I could die tonight…tomorrow..
The truth in my soul has and will set me free.

A.S.

Fate

Never in my mind did I imagine this.
To love with a hope and a dream, tainted with by fear.
To love with a bitter sweetness.

The one she always believed in and loved like no other..
Could be the very one to crush her..
Never did I foresee that day.

Living for a hope and a wish to see the dream through..
The dream we worked so hard for.
But buried deep inside me are the bitter threats that escaped your lips.

I will push forward hard and love even harder..
No matter where fate takes us, I will have loved.
I will not let fear of the past and the unknown plague my heart..
Content I will be with the truth that is my very soul..

A part of me feels the tinge of fear..
But I wont allow this pain to consume me..
I will fight with love..
Like the water that smooths the rocks into pebbles..
My tears will not have been in vain...

No matter what the outcome is..
Within' my soul I will never lose its capacity to love.

A.S.

Dearest Heart

Dearest I love you..
Sweet love, lay yourself down..
And I’m right next to you.
The sooner you close your eyes, closer tomorrow will be.

I’m closer than I can say..
Trust in me and believe when I say..
Its only a matter of time..

Our flesh and spirit will make its weave on the paths we’re on..
We’ll reunite once again..
From here it feels high up and away..
Time is a lost idea..
Torn by the hour..

Nestled in my soul is a higher feeling..
An invincible truth…
Tree of life the seed has sprouted.

Understanding this, there is a sense of Euphoria.

Close your eyes with me..
As your heart beat makes rhythm with mine...

A.S.

Desert walk

Standing back.

There you are...
Carrying on in your own way.

Here I am...
Watching and waiting..
Standing in the background.
Dreaming with a wish weighing heavily on my heart

A.S.

Always

When time passes on by..
Don't forget what remains behind her smile.
Genuine are her words and her care..
Her secret is there.
The feelings she once shared, will always remain.
Despite her calm appearance, her heart will never be tamed.
Nothing she ever felt could be altered..
For a time, she showed you a glimpse of its intensity..
You thought you knew...
But this you can not fully understand, her secret heart.
In her heart of hearts she is calling out..
So long as she lives on Earth or Star.
When time passes on by..
She will see your face..
Your name engraved at her deepest..
She'll continue treading on, suppressing the fire within'...
Nothing would have changed what she had revealed years past.
In her secret heart and in its deepest place, she'll live with the truth..

Years gone by..
She'll remember this moment of expression.
Just as she would be born anew..

Years gone by..
Always remember she still loves you.

A.S.

close

If only you knew the joy you bring me..
Although hung on your every word.
You need not say a word at all..
For I would be content with you near me.
Closer than close.

A.S.

To the flame

In my time of need..
You gave me your tenderness.
Everything that love is by definition.
Enveloped by You, I could never have enough.
I was drawn like a moth to a flame..
But all along the fire was inside of me...
Feeling your warmth..
Your hand I'll never let go.

A.S.

Not lost

Never a love lost if I've got you in my heart.

And her heart is like the star blinking back at her...a glimmer of hope.

Journey

They walk on through the desert…
Open and vast, there’s no end in sight.

Dark and cool are the nights…
Their hearts like those hanging stars..
Twinkling and shining..
Hanging onto a hope..

Their souls containing many passages, just like being lost in the galaxies..
Each with a different story to be held.
Multifaceted their reality is…
Mirrors within’ mirrors..
Light upon light she remembers Him on her journey.

A.S.

Channeled

Channel my love and energy you say..
I know dear, and I do try.
But in this life I'll find myself flowing through rivers and streams..
My soul feels more than this body will ever be able..
My soul's essence is very much there & here, elevating..
While this body only knows of its mortal stance, base and low...

One sweet day, all of the worldly confines will be left behind...
My love no longer held and restrained..
I'll be free alongside you, spirits having flown.

A.S.

Anticipating

I want to call out to you..
Without a worry about the the time or day...
But here my heart whispers to itself.
I want to call out to you and hear your voice filling my spirit..
I know, even angels must rest..
Anticipating your next move,our next moment...

A.S.

Met in the middle

Words were spoken, sweeter than honey..
Bottled emotions had to be released, like a force of nature
Caught up in the moment and dazed..
I had to pinch myself, bring myself down.
The feelings I ever felt, met and synchronized with yours..
I may never hear those words again..
But forever will I remember the moment our souls met in the middle.
From this moment on I'm fully aware of the words left unspoken..
Those words once said are buried but very much alive in my soul.
And despite my effort to refrain..
I'm sure you will always remain aware of my secrets.




A.S.

Friendship

They had a dream

Running with this vision..
They escaped the confines of this dunya.
A love without condition..
Secret counsel they sought reassurance & validation..
A seed was nurtured inside..
Picking up the pieces, putting them back together.
Pleasant reminders of the good remnants left behind,
They reflected each others inner truth..
Together they continued on.

A very special bond, there’s no breaking this union
Genuine, tender care and sincerest of hearts..
A true friendship indeed.

A.S.

You're my mantra

Hidden truths I hold..
In my mind these words play.
Your voice a teasing whisper in my ear.
In my mind I see your undisclosed self..
I plea with you not to stop & you oblige..
You're no longer a mystery.
You're love becomes my mantra

In but a moment, we're all knowing of the deepest secrets.



A.S.

Cotton candy cloud

Heart pounding to the beat.
I can't help it..
This song, this melody plays through me..
Dance and sway...
Poetry in motion, I can't stop.
I'm a heavy dreamer..
Cherry cola soda lips..
Dark starry night and neon lights...
Sweet pea and freesia fills the air.
There's a melody playing and a vision in my mind.
Through rose colored lenses I see the world.
This is very much my reality..
I can't stop, I wont stop..
Soul leading my feet deeper

Immersed in this cotton candy cloud, I ain't comin' down.

A.S.

Words said in haste

Choose your words carefully...

The words we say are like drops of water...
Ripples are they're affect on the people around us...
Let us spend of ourselves wisely..
To contemplate before releasing these words..
To separate ourselves from reactionary emotion..
To give ourselves enough time to listen.
To listen is to not take words at face value,
but instead listening to what a person's intentions are..
Understanding the words left unsaid.

Sometimes the line of communication is only after distancing ourselves from the noise, inwardly and outwardly..It means to not make assumptions or accusations..Where is our proof? It means to stomp on our egos, and opening up our hearts.

Lets not be blinded by Self..Don't let there be a moment of regret over words said in haste.
