I came with you,
A Gift from Allah,
And I will return back to HIM with you.
You are my guide,
My companion,
My melodius song.
You get me through life,
I cannot live without you,
Each day and night I pray for your purity.
Soul of mine,
I am glad you are there for me,
One of a kind.

Somewhere out there,
two souls waiting
for the kind of love
they deserve.
The eyes and tears were blind to the sorrow of the heart.
on sidewalks rain falls
creating a leopard look

Across the burnt field
I carry my load
I pierce the smoky expanse
my energy flags
I yearn for rest
but the burden gets heavier
I am alone
and slog for both of us.

I converse with my mind:
“Please, a small spell
to float this flood
to higher ground.
Find an ounce of push,
then I can unravel.”

A midnight exhaustion overtakes me
I lay depleted
at wits end
I pray
a surrender
concede
abandon
my self
gaunt, frail, devoid.

Before sleep an appeal
to a power greater than me
deliver me from these ashes.
After a complex surgery my wife is in a painful period of recovery. Together with the help of friends who bring food and love, and with divine assistance, we will make it. BTW, the prayer worked. I woke up the next day refreshed and ready for what would come.
Your eyes
are flowers I have
never seen
before.
