Timeline

The past is merely just a view looking at it all in retrospect.
The past prepares us for the future.
The present is where we rectify the past.
The present is where we grow and strive to thrive.
The future is a glimpse of our goals.
The future is what we allow to transpire.
Remember you are what you have experienced, what you experience and what you aim to experience.

There's no true en...d

There's no true en...d

Have you ever said "Forever and Always" to a dear one?
But it hasn't worked out
Just maybe,
Just maybe,
There's a, another chance down the road,
To satisfy that solemn promise.
Through irrigating an arid desert -
Over the years;
Constant metamorphosis;
Persistent photosynthesis.
And finally-
A xerophyte inhabits the ground.
Aligning everything in the hazardous atmosphere.

A quest for solace

Nuha Alli May 2018

A quest for solace

It's kinda hard without you these days.
I'm as volatile as the Rand.
I can't roar when I'm:
Agitated of despair tracking prey;
Vexed from my positive aims ;
Dishearted from abrupt failures.
I question my tenacity and ability to withstand challenges nature throws.
You were my pillar and reassurance.
I crave the immediate concerned reaction;
I'd die to have you salvage me from the darkness.
The warmth and security you gave me,
Aids me with my instability.
I miss those emergency responses and aids,
To create the tranquility that was once lost.
I long for your sweet voice:
To hush me like your own.
To gently stroke my emotional *****.
You were my sedative, my narcotic.
Currently i search the drug store for a fresh, potent drug to heal me better than you could ever do.

Tenderness accompanied by certainty.

Nuha Alli Apr 2018

Tenderness accompanied by certainty.

You deserve to wake up and smile because of your beautiful, bright, bold soul.
You deserve to laugh loudy and feel fusion of fluttering in your tummy.
You deserve to shy away and cover your rose-pink face.
You deserve to feel raw, ruddy, real emotion only with positive and pure intentions.
You deserve success due to your persevering, powerful power house.
You deserve sincere care due to your pious purity.
You deserve to be fed with flavoursome fruits and nourished emotionally and physically.
You deserve to be put on a pedestal like a clear celestial body.
You deserve the truth and not to be fooled by equivocation from three weird sisters.
You deserve someone to pump oxygen into your heart and not deprive it of tenderness.
You're worth more than millions upon billions.
If anyone can't see the love you deserve, remove them you're an
Oscar Award.
You deserve it all-
But I'm not good or the best.

I am the worst.

Debilitating endurance

Nuha Alli Apr 2018

Debilitating endurance

I don't want to feel anymore!
You promised me a future in union,
You promised me a lot,
But you delivered none.
You evoked constant pain and heartache;
Empty promises blinded me.
When it was over-
It felt like thousands of arrows coated with rat poison, pierced my vulnerable aorta.
The raw emotion is what drove me from ever wanting to feel again.

Fair is mendacious.
For i was a fool.
I'd rather be surrounded by:
Dead flowers,
Crying children,
Filthy corruption,
Atrocious massacre,
And darkness.
Because these carry no facade:
Foul is real
They are sincere and geniune in their aims.
Don't fool with my purity and innocence-
I desensitize.

Ever green perianth

Nuha Alli Apr 2018

Ever green perianth

I was the spectrum of life;
Burning in the dark, black, barky forest.
I've been through the fire:
Yet you couldn't salvage me,
I've provided you with a remedy-
But you have poisoned me.
Reflections are colourful-
For that's I needed to be loved for
I've conquered your standards,
Yet i didn't surfice.
Ironically, you didn't conquer my bars .
For you took me for granted!
One day you'll see what a saphire i am.
When thy cannot live to my standards.

But now i have no affection or love for you.
I pray thee remains constant and decided.
Resentment is an understatement as you have made me a cliff.
For you are a surpent.
Intoxicating my resilient periant.
The last end...
