to promise her
he was someone
worth taking
a little trouble
over.

I think Urdu poetry is absolutely beautiful.
I just wish I could read it in actual urdu =/

Pond
When you have swam in the sea
a lake will no longer do;
everyone else has been a pond
but the ocean was always you.

Metamorphosis
There are days
where all I wish
is that I
could crawl into
a cocoon
close my eyes tight
and after the wind
is done trying
its very best
to knock me from
my branch,
crawl back out
as something
so much
More
than I ever was
before.
-Tyler Knott Gregson-

The past
still dwelt
in
my thoughts.
All the time,
pressed upon
me.

Face
I just think
you should know,
that out of
all,
in all the
world,
you
have my
most favorite
face.

A Man I Can Love
I want a man I can love. A man whose love for me Was decreed by our Lord above. I want a man I can trust, A man who I’ll want to respect and honour, Not because I ‘must’, Or because obedience to him Was upon me thrust, But because he respects me And honours me, And deals with people in a way that is just. And because, above all that, He respects and honours the Words of our Master, And this will make my heart beat a little faster. I want a man I can learn with, Someone to hold hands with. Let the man To whom I’ll give my hand Be a man I can laugh with. I want the little things, And from this, Love begins. And with it, Rahma and Mahabba From our Lord it brings. I want a man who will lead me, A man who will accept me. One who will guide me, Protect me, And lovingly correct me. I want a man who makes mistakes sometimes And is willing to take some time To admit when he is wrong. One who doesn’t always try to be strong All on his own, But allows me to come along, Stand by his side, And be his partner, Lifelong. He should be a man with a beard—Now wait, I know you might think that’s a little weird, But, even though I want a man who will love me, I want him to love our Prophet SallAllahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam More than he does me. I want that love to show on him, In the way that he dresses, And the way that he moves. The way that he loves me, And the choices he may choose. It should be the means by which Our life together improves. I want a man I can grow with, Someone I can sow with The seeds of our trees In the Gardens of Jannah. I want to fall in love. Just once, just him. Forever and ever.
Ameen.

The amazing Amir Sulaiman.
She said that she would prefer a broken neck to another broken heart. I said, “Remember, even the beauty of birth leaves its own scars and know that you will find your home right where you are.”

Haunt
I am always
afraid
of becoming
a
ghost
that is
perpetually
haunted
by the
living.

Little
It is
and always has been
the little things
that matter
the very
most.
I,
with no trouble
at all,
could fill a
book black
with ink
and
red with
blood and
stain them both
with tears
for all
of your
little
things.
-Tyler Knott Gregson-
