You're My Eid
Alan Mar 30
No more fasting, no more sleepless prayers,
Eid has come with wine and lutes in air.
Last night they searched the sky for the Eid moon,
I searched for you—
for you are my moon.

They watched the heavens, waiting for light,
but I found my dawn in your eyes tonight.
Let them chase stars that fade away—
I’ll drink to you, my Eid, my day.
Alan Mar 31
Your love made me lose myself, left me unaware of my own being.
You took me so far from existence that I no longer knew my own name.

If you call me back to myself, you will not find me again,
For I have been lost in your street and no longer know my way.

With a single sip from the goblet of your lips, I am drunk like dewdrops,
And when you rise like the sun, I no longer know where I belong.

Like a candle in your presence, I burn without a trace,
Melting into nothingness, lost in your embrace.

The world fades into silence when I hear your voice,
A whisper in the wind, leaving me without a choice.

— The End —
