Look but don’t stare
Aisha Nov 2021
Why is this so fun, why is this so enjoyable, there’s nothing dangerous about self care
I’m only helping myself
I’m taking care of myself so please don’t worry about me, I can handle it on my own, just go away so you won’t be disappointed, that’s all I can offer

Sunrise Serenade
Aisha Jun 29
In the quiet of night, when the world’s a sea of blue,
I found solace in the darkness, until I found you.
We wandered through the shadows, hand in hand we’d roam,
But then you showed me something more, a light to call my own.

The world seemed wrapped in midnight, endless, deep, and vast,
Yet you brought forth a promise, a dawn that would outlast.
And as the first hint of morning brushed the edge of night,
You whispered of a sunrise that would banish all our plight.

I used to shy away from hues like peach chiffon’s grace,
But now, with you beside me, it’s a color I embrace.
For in that tender moment, as the sky began to blush,
I saw eternity in your eyes, a sunrise in a hush.

Now every dawn we greet together, hand in hand we stand,
And peach chiffon skies remind me of our love, so grand.
In every golden sunrise, with your heart so close to mine,
I find a love that’s endless, in the warmth of morning’s shine.
As the sun rises each day painting the sky in peach chiffon hues, may it always remind us of the beauty found in new beginnings and the warmth of shared moments. Let this poem be a testament to the transformative power of love, where even the colors we once overlooked become cherished symbols of our journey together.

blues
Aisha Dec 2017
Do you ever have so many things to say,
but you don't have anyone to talk to.


If only I was there when you needed me,


and I am so sorry,
because you weren't alone.
Ever.

just keep breathing
Aisha Jan 2021
Isn't it beautiful
I breathe in all those gasses but
my body chooses you
Inhales you
Absorbs you
Allows you to caress my lungs
Fill my blood
Give me energy
give me life
I open my arms on a sunny day and
you swath me in your gentle breeze
I gasp for you
Yearn for you
I need you
Even when I'm not aware, you're
always there

So why is it when I'm drowning
When I need you most
I gasp
I yearn
I scream
I beg
I cry
you never come
I suddenly lose my breath
and suffocate in your absence
I wrote this in my sleep

You.
Aisha Aug 2017
It's a miracle.
You know? You're a miracle.
Just the sheer biology of thinking, dreaming, creating, destroying, sleeping, waking, crying, running, hiding, fighting, loving, loosing, growing, shrinking, living, dying, writing, erasing, giving, receiving, feeling.
Words, they are our miracle.
It's unbelievably inevitably incredible.
Life is incredible, words just make you live it.

Phantom
Aisha Nov 2020
I’ve always chased
chased
always

so why do I run
hide
ghost

when you chase me back
just something to ponder

Trust
Aisha Feb 2017
Trust is something that must be earned
It is destroyed when certain bridges are
burned.
Once it is gone, it's hell to get back
Especially when you feel you don't deserve
that.
If you ever hurt someone you love,
Then you know the feelings I'm speaking of
For the rest of your life, you will regret,
How deeply you hurt someone you love and
respect.
But things happen that are beyond our
control;
We have to move forward, we cannot live in the past.
For it will eat at you forever,
Please, never say never,
Because you cannot know,
The irrational paths our hearts take us.
You cannot begin to fathom,
How random is true love?
But without trust, love will fade.
Then you'll regret the choices you've made.
