Unforgettable

Occasional thoughts throughout the years,
Each wondering about the other.
Where and how...

A conversation sparked off a search,
With a note leading to a familiar voice.
Then and now...

Distance and time has not erased,
Memories and emotions traced.
When and why...

It has taken time to find each other
And now we have, there is no further.
All we hold are treasures deep
The boundary holds us bittersweet.

Hard it might be to carry on,
I don't want to let go of this bond.
Years away and finally,
Friendship it will have to be.

A Shimmer, A Sign

Both times I had to take control,
With no option but to steer.
Trudging on with heavy shoulders,
I took it all in stride.

I'm tired now,
I want to snuggle up to warmth.

My wants don't necessarily fit to a T,
As plans layed out are best for me.
It's as well things are as deemed to be,
If all was smooth I might just forget Thee.

May I ask to see a shimmer
Of one who cares to watch this soul?

Will there ever be help to man the ship,
Side-by-side, arm-in-arm, a fit.
If deemed to go it all alone,
It's time to stretch, and move head on.

Timely Reminder

Oh my Lord!
Grant me that I may be
Grateful for Thy favour
Which thou has bestowed
Upon me, and both
My parents, and that I
May work righteousness
Such as Thou mayest approve;
And be gracious to me in my issue.
Truly I turn to Thee
And truly do I submit
(To Thee) in Islam.
- Al-Ahqaf S46 v 15

Be My Guest

What was never an intention
Has stealthily crept into my thoughts.
I continue to wander ... these recurring visions and sensations.
The curiosity remains.

Oh, to be bold and forge on, or
To make an (absolutely necessary?) about turn.

Should I, need I wait?
Shall I, do I speak?
May I, will I be given a sign?

They say patience is a virtue.
Is it So or No?
Your call.
My pleasure.

Throwing Caution To The Wind

At times do we perceive things the way they really are,
Or the way we would like them to be?
When perception takes control and we're off on a spin,
Prepare for a nasty fall,
Or delight in a pleasurable landing!
