My shy lover..
My shy lover,
with her pretentious persona,
She feels but can’t express.
Marshmallow like underneath her hard shell

A free bird but her thoughts enslave,
She hurts but never retaliates
Anxious yet patience

Easy to love, harder to decipher
Not easily to in love but makes loving easy
From a total stranger
to the most familiar
Antarah will be jealous of my love for her…

Shilly-Shally
Sadiq Tahir Jan 2024
Time is money, time is wealth.  
Time deceives, she is lawless.
Gentle in her approach, a fine seductress.
She has no prerogatives so be wary.

She gives when she loves,
Merciless when she collects.
Tick-ToCk she's gone,
But her charms remain.
The rich and poor are twenty-four hours apart.

Boys
Sadiq Tahir Jun 2023
The uncertainties of tomorrow
turns pain into laughter
Gloom looks and dark circles
turns tears into heartaches
heart plagued by
sacred oaths broken
True wealth is in a lover's tears
but, "Boys don't cry".
This road called life is a lonely one filled with uncertainties and unforeseen circumstances..... enjoy the moment and expect the worst

Dilemma
Sadiq Tahir Mar 2023
She was falling in love,
I was falling apart.
Entrapped in a labyrinth
of my creation.
Bound by expectations,
a hopeless romantic.
Sipping away my sorrows
water so crystal
wishing my thoughts were clearer

Lost Hope
Sadiq Tahir May 2020
Forever was never a given but
Hopeful I was,
The promises made still hold.
I refuse to give this love to anyone else
Because
I love you still but you love me less!
This one’s for the joy of my life “naf”. Always and Forever

Scars
Sadiq Tahir May 2020
My unexpected arrivals,
beautiful yet ugly....
Each carry a story,
the souvenirs I carry
protruding and innocent
each one a journey

Giving up.
Sadiq Tahir Apr 2020
Exhausted but not defeated,
the whispers scream surrender and
the sighs are visible on my face.
But history remembers not those who show their backs...

Clueless
Sadiq Tahir Apr 2020
Deep stares into your soul,
forgetting what i’d done to deserve you.
Beyond the years lies the answer,
but the catharsis is in the knowing

Time
Sadiq Tahir Mar 2020
Bad days end with laughter
Good days start with tears
The cycle of life continues
It's up to you to evolve....

Lonely
Sadiq Tahir Jun 2019
Silent nights often carry the loudest thoughts...
Nothing more scary than being alone when you’re in pain!

— The End —
