Temporary Emotions
Zainab Oct 2020
I sometimes wonder about you,

Think about you,

Smell you,

Even see you in my dreams,

I see things that remind me of you,

So I talk about you,

Ask questions about you,

Because I miss you.

Feelings all come flooding back,

Again, I love you,

Want to touch you,

Feel your presence around me,

I smile because I know you,

We feel the same but we both know it's too late,

We both know the reason why,

We both went our separate ways.

In that moment,

Just that moment,

That long moment,

Everything is a blur as if I'm disorientated,

I want you back,

We'll make it work,

Then as soon as that moment's done,

You're once again something forgotten,

left in the past, until next time.

AN IDEAL WORLD
Zainab Sep 2020
Yes, they say only the strongest will survive,
But I didn't mind sacrificing myself in the name of you,
I wanted to fall because I trusted that you’d pick me back up,
My energy reflects your energy,
It resembles a spring tide,
Aligned like the eclipse,
Your precisely placed kisses on my imperfections,
Was what kept me warm through the coldest nights,

Maybe in an ideal world, we’d stay together,
Maybe in an ideal world, we’d put our differences aside and appreciate our similarities,
Maybe in an ideal world, we’d stay in our own little world,
Maybe in an ideal world, you’d know that I was the one.

MOMENTS
Zainab Aug 2020
Time is of the essence,
Blessings in every second,
Ascensions to Dimensions,
Feels like I’m in heaven.

I hope.
Zainab Jul 2020
I hope that when...
Your nights get colder,
 you’ll want me on your shoulder.

New

New
You don’t have to fly me to the moon,
No my favourite colour isn’t blue,
Glowing, I can see it by my hue,
I swear this feeling is something so new.

I WONDER...
Zainab Jun 2020
So if things go my way,
Will you love me any longer than today?
I want to hear you say,
That you’ll love me for eternity and a day.

Deeper Than a Touch
Zainab Jun 2020
I’d rather you touch me with your deep conversations,
Be stimulated by your personality,
Open up to you spiritually,
Receive your intellect,
Blow your mind,
Taste every word that leaves your lips,
Gently undress your thoughts or better yet, strip away your walls,
Make love to your inner conscious,
How’s that for excitement?

HIGH
Zainab May 2020
I look around and notice that you’re not here,
It hurts so much because I really want you near,
What is it that you crave with others’ company? It’s not fair,
Your attention is all I need and it is hard to bear.
Can you relate to this?

This Feeling
Zainab May 2020
It always comes at times when I’m feeling alright,
When I’m not really searching but I’ll always find,

Why can’t you come at times when I’m feeling all blue,
Is it because you’ll see me and I won’t see you?

I’m looking pretty clearly, no clouds in my way,
I could lay with you all day and promise I’ll stay.

Change
Zainab May 2020
Whoever said it’s life, clearly didn’t fight for it.
Whoever said I can’t, clearly didn’t try at it.
Whoever let you go, clearly wasn’t right,
Cause if they were right, they’d hold on... tight.

KINDRED
Zainab May 2020
You’re one of many and one of few,
The gateway to that realm of something new,
Old souls in a young form,
That strike of lightning in a cloudy storm,
Imagine you never came, imagine I never left,
Is inevitability real? Or would it have been reft,
Hoping this is limitless but counting seconds, minutes and days,
In case we outgrow this moment and life gets in the way,
But we are connected, connection runs deep,
Almost like a horror film, you turn away but still get the urge to peep,
Lurking in the darkest shadows of your conscious lies curiosity,
Had to be a reason we hit the earth at an incredible velocity,
Clearly our auras were meant to be seen,
By no other, than you and me,
Appreciate “this” in its entirety.

Mood
Zainab Apr 2020
Summer nights and sunkissed days take me away,
Cushiony feelings oh so warm I can't complain,
Slow ocean walks take you in with a smile and a gaze,
Your velvety kisses make me want to stay.

Running through a field full of flowers of all different kinds,
I never count the seconds because I’m lost in time,
Like my tan from the sun, you’ve made your mark; now you’re always on my mind,
You're my box of treasure, something I need to hide.

Bike rides in the forest,
Deep stares at the bright blue sky,
If I can be honest,
You're the best kind of high.

Fine China
Zainab Apr 2020
I didn’t know that when I made this decision, it would mean saying hello to me and bye to you;
I held on so tightly when I hugged you, in case you were too delicate to piece yourself back together.

I started thinking about all of the memories we made together and the times I needed you most.
Now to think of it, you were always there for me even if it wasn’t in person.

You’d always be that voice from a distance which is funny because I always thought I was that voice and I was calling you.
All I ever wanted was for you to return my call and follow my voice through the tunnel; I would have promised that as long as I’m around, you’d never get lost again; but I get it.

We both are young and lead different paths and that is why I had to leave; because in order to find you, I have to find myself so that I can be steady enough to piece you back together.

WILL YOU ACTUALLY?
Zainab Apr 2020
I remember when your eyes met mine. It was a feeling, not so much physical attraction. I knew that you’d open me up and I knew that I’d strip you down - in so many ways.

It only took a night, a moment, a second for us to be completely naked and vulnerable for only our eyes to see and our minds to feel. Connected entirely, it didn’t feel like one night, maybe a lifetime?

That’s when I knew. As you slept, I was sleepless. As you slept, my heart skipped a beat everytime your eyelids flinched. I wanted to hold it so tightly but not tight enough that it’d slip through my fingers.

I day-dreamed about you waking up and holding me close, expressing your love to me as you gently kissed my face. You, looking deep into me, so deep you could see my hidden gems. Yes the same gems that haven’t sparkled in years.

You see, it only takes one; one moment, one feeling, one person, one love. Your eyes begin to flutter and I inhale. I guess the question is, before I see your eyes, before the sun comes up, before a word even leaves your lips… will you actually?

— The End —
