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.

Silence
Aflaha Jan 2018
I borrow from the night
Some silence

It borrows from me
Some memories of you

Open
Aflaha Jan 2018
I desire nothing

I dream of none

I lay my heart open

For the spring of life to come

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

Say it
Aflaha Jan 2018
I hold,

a thousand times in a day

To listen,

to anything you migh say
It's true :)

Reason
Aflaha Jan 2018
Set free my heart
And let me **** my reason
Once in a while

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!
189 · Jan 2018
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

The Goodbye
Aflaha Jan 2018
And when you knock at the door, a familiar face answers. You had hoped anyone other than her answers but prayers are not always heard. And there she was, hoping it was you. With a giant lump in your throat, you utter the word, 'goodbye', trying very hard not to feel the hurt. Trying to look only at her face and memorise all the details, so this moment can be etched in your heart and soul like you never existed without it.
Just like that.

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?

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

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

In the silence of my soul
Aflaha Jan 2018
In the silence of my soul
I listen to a beautiful song
I see your eyes have secrets too
That your lips so fiercely guard
Yet your heart speaks to mine
Fearless as they are
Their language we don't understand
In silence, they sing to each other
A song without words
It's the thought of being alone when together
And the longing, when we are apart
That the soul feels glad about
But the heart is a fool to know
It wants to dance in madness
Of this strangely beautiful sadness
And it cares not for any silence
For it's been waiting too long
For the one that knows it's song
So it dances in ecstasy
In the belonging and the distance
For it doesn't know the difference

Waiting
Aflaha Jan 2018
Bring me the sunshine
Bring me the rain

You promised to come by with
Forever for me, again.

— The End —
