Happy Belated Valentines day

In search of Love !!

I want to find love
In someone I’ve never known
Someone who is grown
And wants to atone
With me
Who wants to connect spiritually
with me
And prays with me
And fasts with me
Who will walk side by side with me
On that path to Jannah (heaven)
Because I swear by Allah
That is all I need
That and my good deeds.

I hope he is perfect
As in perfect for me ,
Knowledgeable
A master of lyrics
But he doesn’t spit bars he recites Ayat
And isn’t into fast cars
Because he is aware that
We are travellers in this world
And this is not our destination
So he has no hesitation
In the organisation of his priorities
Which besides god is me

I want to find love
In someone I’ve never known
I want to be held and to be shown
That, it’s ok.
To love myself
I want someone to prove to me that I’m worthy,
To make me believe that chocolate can be just as good as latte or cappuccino or just beige
To appreciate my cultural baggage
That my tongue is entwined with another language
As foreign words are force-fed to my people
Stifling a culture already filled to the brim
Whilst I try to affiliate with my mother and her tongue ,
Protecting my nationality like my ribs protect my heart

I want to find love
In someone I’ve never known
A king upon his throne I will be your queen
And we will read poetry in the park
And eat ice-cream in the dark
Huddled together your nose touching mine
As we delve into each other’s minds
Our inside jokes leaking into our surroundings
As you surround me with the love I’ve been seeking
And I weep
Knowing that nothing lasts forever
But wishing I could keep this moment a little longer
While you gaze into the stars, my scars are fading
Then you stand
And take my hand
And lead the way
As we walk,
We laugh,
We talk
Then we cry
As you taste my tears, and you hear me past words or similes
You hear me
The fear in my soul
As I let go
And embrace the love I’ve finally found
