An unreasonable love
Aflaha Jan 2019
It is strange
This knowing you
This familiarity
Which now seems like something
I might have invented
To keep myself close to you
I now see the nativity of
An unreasonable love
How simply I fell for you
And built a fortress of lies
To protect this delicious fantasy
Of me in your arms
Being more then just comfort
An intimacy of tired restless souls

Untitled 32
Aflaha Nov 2018
How could I ever show you
The despair you left behind
How could I dare say
Was it your heart or mine
That lay shattered on the pavement
Of this road we took together
The one with no destination
A love without room
For kindness or concern
A constant struggle
To keep us from fading into the night
To keep the clock from ticking
To keep this fire from taking us
Isn’t any delight
In a fight against destiny
Memories woven with pain
All lost in a moments fate
Now remnants of ashes
Mingled with the rain
Flow right through that place
Which love used to grace
Once when it was summer
And we were kids in love
In peace and in haste
To commit to heart and memory
Each glance and every taste
Each moment spend with you
Is now a shard halfway through
My heart
Which still beats like a fool
For you

Aflaha Nov 2018
Be the silence of my heart
Be my calm

Be my light
So I may always find my way back

Be that question
I ask myself every time
I am looking for meaning

Be the shade
My souls rests in
Weary from the customs of this world

Be close
Fade into my heartbeat
From a million miles away

Fearless love
Aflaha Nov 2018
Broken dreams
Fill a broken heart

Tempered memories
Of stolen kisses

Timeless passion
In a heartless world

How soon it died
Our fearless love

To tell you so
Aflaha Jun 2018
My heart rebels
Not being close to you
It doesn't know how to keep
A love so fierce
From burning everything away
I don't know how
This distance is okay
But this silence isn't
I could wait a thousand years
To be in your arms
I couldn't wait till tomorrow
To tell you I miss you so

Longing
Aflaha May 2018
I don't know why it hit me today but it did and I am trying really hard to keep my sanity right now. Tears are begging to run down my cheeks. Sorrow crawling through the walls of my heart. My mind tired and exhausted of reasoning, wanting desperately to shut down now. This ink might as well have been bleeding out of me today. I never knew that longing for someone could be so painful.

Like a Prayer
Aflaha May 2018
We sit in opposite corners of the room
Trying to get the story in our head right
This night is so dreadful and special
You can tell by the full moon so bright
It's been forever since I kissed you last
I don't know if you remember being apart
I wish I could show you the scars
Each wishful night left on my heart
Then tell me, my love
How did you do when I was away
Would you make this moment stay
I don't know what I want
When I am this close to you
They told me to be careful
Sometimes dreams come true
I wish it was easy to let go
With your hands on my hips
When you pull me close
My heart stops beating
I burn like a rose
You taste of sweetness, desire & love
Of your burning soul, I can't have enough
Then come closer, my love
I want your fingers tangled in my hair
I want to kiss your soul, naked & bare
From me, you have nothing to fear
My love,
I will wear this love like a garment
I will breathe it in, like fresh air
I will forever be yours in this moment
With you on my lips, always like a prayer
Apr 2018 · 249
Make me your only one
Aflaha Apr 2018
I don't want to play
this guessing game

Tell me you love me
Show me how much

Make my soul sing
In its longing for you

Make my bones ache
For each minute spend apart

Make my heart bleed
To hear you say my name

For how else will I ever repay
This debt of being in love with you
Apr 2018 · 185
To let go
Aflaha Apr 2018
I am not strong enough today

But I will be, someday

To let go

A piece of my heart

That once belonged to you
Apr 2018 · 585
Like I do
Aflaha Apr 2018
Do I miss you?
You ask

Why would I be jealous
my love

Of the light
that touches your face

Of the ground
beneath your feet

Of the traffic
outside your window

Of all the places
your fingers linger

Of the food
you taste

Of the words
you write

Of the tunes
you hum

Of the air
you breathe

And every thought
In your mind

That isn't me
Apr 2018 · 244
Away
Aflaha Apr 2018
Why is it then

When I miss you the most

I want to run away to a place so far away

Where even the stars can't find me
Apr 2018 · 202
She thought she knew
Aflaha Apr 2018
She sat by the vast river
Watching the sun go down
Mind at peace with her heart
And she smiled
How she thought she knew
What love was
Till she met him
And her soul shook
In a silent quake
And a storm raged inside her heart
Why hadn't she expected this?
Why was she so unprepared
For something that seemed
Only as certain as death
Apr 2018 · 158
Tired
Aflaha Apr 2018
I wish this noise would turn into silence
This light into dark

Your arms into my home
Where I can crumble quietly

And fall asleep
To the rhythm of your heart
Cant wait for the week to end - I feel exhausted -  sigh!
Apr 2018 · 212
Lie to me sweetly
Aflaha Apr 2018
Lie to me sweetly then

If the truth won't last

I still hate lies

But I was never so afraid of the truth
Apr 2018 · 204
In your service
Aflaha Apr 2018
My heart
Imprisoned in reason
Fluttering
Like a butterfly
Entangled
In dreams and memories  
It prays
To the one who commands it
To come free it
In exchange
For a life time of service
The heart is weird. In your service it finds its calling.
Apr 2018 · 268
The way you do
Aflaha Apr 2018
So let me redecorate myself then

With your love

To see why you look at me

The way you do
Apr 2018 · 467
They say I am fire
Aflaha Apr 2018
I don't know who I am
They tell me I am fire
I don't quite agree
I think I might be a lamp
That burns with all its might
Not that the winds aren't cruel
And the sun doesn't shine
It's magnificent light on me
But its in the dark night
That I keep burning
And it is the travellers
In search of their self
And the madness in their eyes
That keeps me going
Mar 2018 · 221
I didn't ask a lot
Aflaha Mar 2018
It hurts too much

I thought what I asked, was small

But now I know

Why love is precious, after all

Sweet Goodbyes
Aflaha Mar 2018
Let me love you,
               here and now

In this glorious
               summer haze

And sweet goodbyes,
               we will say

When we go our
               separate ways
Wouldn't hurt any less, might as well be poetic.

Which one is yours?
Aflaha Feb 2018
The silence

of

not knowing

Or

The silence

of knowing

too much

Which one is yours, my love?

Falling for you
Aflaha Feb 2018
In the silence of the morning
The sun rises, bright and clear
And it's you she's missing, my dear
I tell her, it's not real
She says, life rarely is ideal
I tell her, it's only a feeling of love
She says, your hand fits like a glove
I tell her, it will break her heart
She says, to love is to be torn apart
I ask her why this dangerous path
She says, it's a game and to lose, we hath
I ask her how this happiness
This radiance of her being
She says love gives me strength
It gives me peace
I hesitate but ask
If you love her too
She said, she never asked
She was busy falling for you
Feb 2018 · 293
Break my heart
Aflaha Feb 2018
Break my heart this once, my love
If only to put it back in chains
Break my heart this once
So I know what it's like to live again

Break my heart so I can breathe
Break it to pieces, so there is no sheath
Break it, so it lay bare, for all to see
So they can't ask me, what I chose to be
Break it, so I can feel the hurt
And let it be a part of me

So say it, my love
And walk out that door
I will love you no less
For breaking my heart
I will only love you more
Feb 2018 · 203
Your being
Aflaha Feb 2018
Your love is like a flowing brook
Like an autumn leaf, am I

Now I am carried away
Without hopes or dreams

And the soft murmur of your being
Is the sweetest thing I hear everyday
You are the music to my soul!
Feb 2018 · 740
You are my world
Aflaha Feb 2018
I am a wave

Set in motion

by forces
beyond
me

Crashing

Into the
shore

Giving away

to the sea 

that is

You
Feb 2018 · 223
Happiness
Aflaha Feb 2018
Happiness

you come in many forms

Sometimes disguised as pain

In the sweet labor of love
Aflaha Feb 2018
I woke up with a gasp

I thought my heart had stopped

You weren't there besides me

The lingering taste of your kiss was
Feb 2018 · 164
When it rains
Aflaha Feb 2018
When the mind is free

it floats like a cloud

Till it finds a home

And then

It rains
Feb 2018 · 229
Why do you desert me?
Aflaha Feb 2018
Happiness
Don't desert me
I long for your warmth
Visit me sometimes
It nice to have you by my side
To watch the sunset and the tide
Feb 2018 · 363
Tenderness
Aflaha Feb 2018
My heart's a tempest
When you are not around
My soul burns like a fire
For it to be found

This love is like a hearth
Your tenderness, my mould
I melt to flow in your direction
I burn to become you
Feb 2018 · 250
Don't be cruel
Aflaha Feb 2018
Don't be cruel, my love

Lower your gaze

And hide your smile

It's hard enough loving  you

from this distance
Jan 2018 · 220
Sweet melody
Aflaha Jan 2018
Our hearts are making music together

And we are mersmerised

by the sweet melody
Jan 2018 · 425
Thinking of you
Aflaha Jan 2018
The cold moonlight pierces my heart and
leaves me undone

Your thought gives me the warmth of a thousand suns
Jan 2018 · 6.4k
Let's pretend for a while
Aflaha Jan 2018
Let's pretend we are not in love

And go on walking

So I can fall for you

All over again
Jan 2018 · 198
Longing
Aflaha Jan 2018
This longing has now

a life of its own

It am defenceless against

it's thirst for you
Jan 2018 · 257
Your kisses
Aflaha Jan 2018
Your kisses like dew
And sunshine renew
My dying faith in love
I feel like a dove
With a thousand dreams
Flying unarmed
In the land of screams
They look at me
They think I am mad
I smile for no reason
My heart is glad
Little do they know
That I found the season
Where rain is divine
And blessed is the snow
Jan 2018 · 591
When I miss you
Aflaha Jan 2018
When I miss you, I can hear my heart breaking and the sound of my soul being crushed under the weight of too much hope. The hope that I will see you again, the way I once did. The hope that you will feel the same way. The hope that there will be home in your arms and love in your heart for me. The hope that that day will not be far away.
Jan 2018 · 196
I come to you
Aflaha Jan 2018
It's a new world altogether
And I find you everywhere
I taste the distance, sweet
As my heart feels glad inside
With eyes closed I stare
At the starry sky above
I wonder as you smile; yet
No answers do I find
When you are too close beside
I think I'll let go; but then
I sink halfway though still shy
Paint my dreams to life
And as my heart skips a beat
I realise
The ages spent in a moments fate.
First kiss
Jan 2018 · 165
I wonder
Aflaha Jan 2018
When the stars go to sleep
I wonder what they dream about
When I close my eyes
I think of you

When the spring says goodbye
I wonder where it goes
When I leave my side
I come to you
Jan 2018 · 181
Missing you
Aflaha Jan 2018
My heart,
it beats
But there is no rhythm

My lips,
they sing
My soul is empty

My eyes,
they see
You or nothing
Jan 2018 · 143
What you see
Aflaha Jan 2018
When you look at me

I like what you see

From that moment on

That's what I want to be
Jan 2018 · 146
And if I be
Aflaha Jan 2018
And if I be a thought that visits the heart
Then let me be thy hope

And if I be the spring
Then let me be,
the smile of your lips
And the dance in your feet

And if our souls speak the same language
Then let our hearts be one

And if these distances
Are the humble pillars of our faith
then let our beliefs unite

And if I be the dust to kiss your forehead
And the air to be your breath
Then let me turn priceless
the sweat of your brow
And your breath, into a beautiful song
Jan 2018 · 162
Say it
Aflaha Jan 2018
I hold,

a thousand times in a day

To listen,

to anything you migh say
It's true :)
Jan 2018 · 200
You
Aflaha Jan 2018
You
You bring me the sunshine

You bring me the stars

You come by to kiss me

In the sweetest of hours
Jan 2018 · 189
To love you
Aflaha Jan 2018
To love you is like forgiving the world

It's like embracing eternity..

It begins nowhere and it never ends
Jan 2018 · 167
Open
Aflaha Jan 2018
I desire nothing

I dream of none

I lay my heart open

For the spring of life to come
Jan 2018 · 190
Death
Aflaha Jan 2018
If then, I must live
I must live honestly

And if I must love
I must be sincere again

And if it kills me
I must bear patiently

For death is sure to come
But I must die peacefully
Jan 2018 · 164
Reason
Aflaha Jan 2018
Set free my heart
And let me **** my reason
Once in a while
Jan 2018 · 182
Wait
Aflaha Jan 2018
Stop the time and hold

And let the nightingale sing

Till I wait no longer

Till I dream no more
Jan 2018 · 210
I would still love you
Aflaha Jan 2018
If mountains could hold destinies
If death could survive
If sadness could steal memories
I would still love you

If there was more than one sky
If the road to you was the longest ever
And a moment was all I had
I would still love you

If I possessed all I ever wanted
And nothing seemed impossible
But you were far out of reach
I would still love you

If all you could do, was speak a tongue
And all I could do, was look in your eyes
Without understanding a single word
I would still love you

I would love you
No matter what colour the sky
I would love you
Even if you deny

I would always love you
The way I love you today
Jan 2018 · 233
Without you
Aflaha Jan 2018
The  streets  were  empty
Open and void
Like my heart, without you
