Our love resembles the love
between the Ground and the sky

When i am the ground
You water my roots
To wash away the
Sadness that lives
Between my lips

When you're the sky  
I will  convey the petals
From the flowers in my
Heart so they can bring
Color upon the giants
That stand behind your
happiness holding  it hostage.

Let's nurture our love
No matter what comes
Between us, just like the
Ground and the sky
So it can blossom into
A sea of perpetual
Light.
Aisha Yusuf Jul 2017
You gazed at the darkness
That surrounded me but
You didn't run away like
Everyone else, you told
Me " I love the night sky
With its stars and all but
I love this more because
You can be the star that
Lights up your heart,
You just need someone to
inspire you to find that light"

And in an instant tears soaked
My soul and I heard a beautiful
Sound, the child in me laughing.

You helped me find that light.
The smile of the child in me.

You inspired me to see the
Beauty in the way I stood, the
Way my petals withered, the
Way I shined.

In a world full of roses,
You picked me and made
Me feel like i was the most
beautiful daisy you've ever seen
Aisha Yusuf Jul 2017
You just want to be happy
You get hurt, people leave you
You crave love, you cry over pictures
You just want to be loved by a lover

You don't see the garden that grows
Deeper than the eyes can find it

The world doesn't deserve you
It's doesn't know how much you grew

Its blind to your beauty and
What you've been through

Don't lose yourself in its views

Because darling,
You are you
Beautiful.
Unlike any I've
Ever seen.

My dear you're like a wave
Some days you might
Hit the rocks but
Believe me a day
Will come where you
Dance with the breeze
And shine with the stars
At night.
Aisha Yusuf Jul 2017
You've told me flowers don't just grow
That they need lots of rain and sunshine

Why didn't I believe you
When you told me don't
Become blinded by light.

I took your love for granted
For it came in storms

And took their love as home
For the sun shined brighter there.

You taught me that darkness
Is the absence of light

But when they left me in the dark
My heart glowed with the love you
Planted in me so I never felt alone.

You taught me a lot but forgot one thing,

That love

Is you.

She became friends with the sun on her skin.
To teach her how to rise from within.

She hides behind timid smiles and soft frowns
But she's what paints the earth The richest browns.

She's got hair that teaches her how to stand tall
And lips that utter " you're beautiful over all"

I've heard people say that there's no beauty in her shade.
But if from morning till dawn her beauty doesnt fade, what beauty does she need when she's god-made?

If you really look on days Where the sun shines bright
You might just see her soul glowing in a honey dipped light.

Deep within me lives a being
confined By the rules of a
World unknown.

I utter the words "I am being my self"
But in reality that's what I struggle
To find in every  path.

like the waves that meet the sand
Under the light of the gleaming moon,

Every part of me craves to be with  the
Other part that makes it whole
Like the thorns that make
A rose complete.
Aisha Yusuf Jul 2017
He.
When I'm the wide open sea.
He is the birds that fly above me.

Gracefully disseminating his warmth
Across my forgotten heart.

Teaching it to fly with all its might.
Giving it courage and a little light

To make it through the storms that
Sprout In my clouds of passion.
