i know at times i have lost my ways too
forgot 'bout efflorescences of truth
denied all of the good hidden within
for my nature itself quite demurin'

wherewithal we all do have times like these
wherein we fail to recognize beauties
to see life to be ever so comely
when a heart feels only felicity

tho as faremost 'n' so quintessential
to lose focus of the sempiternal
will not bring us further into this life
when forgettin' the knowin' how to lithe

for i know now which thread to hold onto
'n' the very Bein' to put all of my trust into

..love always...



عرفان بن يوسف © AH 08/05/1437


'a (pentameter) Sonnet'
I am a pearl in a world full of diamonds.
Little by little
I come no closer to understanding
Why I long for closeness
(An introvert like me)

My friends might deny it
But I know
Why the dogs don't tug on their leashes
And why I never wave hello to their owners

There are moments when
I am reminded of a stranger saying
"It's difficult, huh?
Having a sister that's an extrovert?"

In the middle of the night I wake up thinking
"No, but what's difficult
Is wanting to be the best friend I can be
(An introvert like me)"
I used to be totally at ease with being an introvert (unaware of it, even) until I realized social success comes to people who are outgoing, and that's when I craned my neck to see if the grass really WAS greener on the other side. Guess what? It was.

But am I enough
For you to write a poem?
'Nuff said.
the shape of your body, forever pressed into my mind
the taste of your tongue, so sweet and all mine

the flowers of your fingers, touching my body
the ring of your laughter, swelling all around me

singing into my ears, your melody enlightens me
to the reality of your kiss, and the fire of your security

you are the one place I feel at home, the one thing I can count on
to always be there, always listen, the memory I love

the new ones being created, the old ones being embraced
the wonderful things I've always wanted, now just a breath away
