Love

I love you

and every millisecond

that my eyes don't rest

on your coveted face

I am living as recovering

drug addict

I love you

and it intoxicates me

I can't tell left from right

My knees wobble

like a wino in the middle of

a frost bitten winter

I love you

so much so that I

forget to eat

or feel pain

as my muscles

contort to allow

for this lack of nutrition

which is what not being with you is

I forget to enjoy

the leaves on trees

because they mights as well

be bare

I forget to enjoy the light

I might as well be blind

because my eyes, do not rest

unless they are fervently looking at

and through you

I love you

like a shark

ferociously threatens

with its fins at the surface

of the ocean

its teeth sinking into

its prey, shredding

beyond recognition,

taking it in piece by piece

until it is absorbed

I love you

So much

that when I prostrate myself

before my creator

I thank Al Karim

for being so

generous

as to let me set eyes on you

Ya Allah

how can I not declare you

to be As Samad?

for only the One

can mold

can sculpt

can breathe life

into the dream

that I never knew I had

for myself

Only Al- Malik

could create a kingdom

where even

a mere servant

could still find

Bliss
