I have heard the prayer has reached the sky
While my words linger on my lips
And my dreams refuse to die

Have you heard of the Voice,
That calls you at Night?
As It decends to the lowest sky,
Asking what and not a single why

It says, Ask Me and I shall give
Want from Me, and you shall receive

Then to You, my prayer is this:
As Your light pierces my heart at Your will
And time is Your slave, pleated at Your command
I pray flow the void only You can fill

You bent the light of the sun,
You stop time and cause stars to be born

The All-Hearing, You have heard me
Let it be,
Please, let it be.

It was just a thought,
The apology I never got,
The agony of secrecy with which you mock
Lit in me a fire that refuse to die.

As thoughts kept walking,
My mind painted your face, of momentary guilt,
Perhaps it was there, but I missed
To myself I continued to lie.

Thoughts started running,
On rules of the game,
Score on pretense and penalty for shame
Nobody kept score but surely its not a tie?

Thoughts took flight
I see you running,
Causing a storm of sand to your trail
The veracity of the wind, rose and crashed
With my expectations in the grave.

Never is it quiet
Inside the silence,
A constant communication,
Through a lofty layer.
So listen, as I speak of nothing,
Listen,
As silence pervades the air.

Left hand with a rose
Right hand has agenda,
A green mediocrity
A smiling surrender.

The family portrait created,
In crafted artisan frame.
Glory be to your name
Glory be to my shame.

Three bees flew out of the lotus
As it slowly laid open its petals,
Three bees lay dead
As the light shone from its core,
No bees existed
As the light took over,
Its muddy birth, kissing oars.

The cloud came down and sang me a song
Of the seas and mountains it landed on.
I asked about my home, whether it has seen,
It said, yes, there I have been,

The varendah is in bloom
And the roses  will bleed soon;

Excited, I inquired, if they asked about me
The cloud replied, they asked, who is she?
Tahiya Nuzhat May 2014
Building  home in the straws and hays
The robin flies, staying near the nest.
The wind shall blow the shelter soon,
Little time, but time it has, to rest.
