My Beloved
Abdullah Khan Apr 2017
No rainbow can be more colourful than her words
No portrait can be more beautiful than her face
No song can be more beautiful than her voice
No sculpture can be more perfect than her entirety
No galaxy can be larger than her heart

The sun brings light to day
And the moon radiates the night
Whilst she illuminates my life

Some describe their beloved as beautiful
I describe beauty by the name of my beloved
Some say their beloved is perfect
I say perfection is my beloved

I heard them say their beloved's smile twinkles like the stars
I say the stars twinkle as brightly as her smile
They say their beloved is as radiant as a gem
I say a gem is as radiant as my beloved

Many say praise is an exaggeration of one's excellence
I say praise is a belittlement of her excellence

A War Not Meant To Be Won
Abdullah Khan Apr 2017
They said he needed to change
So he became the person he was not
He hated the person he'd love to become
He abhorred that which he once desired

He gave up all he had
They gave him nothing in return
Every challenge he would conquer
Ten others would accompany his triumph
For every victory he would acquire
A defeat would hover over his prestige

How could he win this insurmountable war
The answer stood before him everyday
The war was never meant to be fought
His foes stood not before him
They stood within him and around him
How could he defeat an enemy who was his only ally

One day he abandoned his struggle
The opinions of his advisors bothered him no more
His foes mockery remained in vain
Finally the war was won
Without him having him lift a sword
He was never meant to change
He was meant to remain the same

He finally won a battle no one can win

— The End —
