Anticipation heightened
then quietened
Uncertain fluctuation
I’d be lying
if I didn’t say
my butterflies have begun to flutter
emerging for it’s pupa
with much celerity
Your eminent arrival
Highly spoken of
Now marked by
a thin crescent.
Preparation admittedly in haste
everything but cordial.
All Praise due
to the one behind your arrival
Sweet tears in solitude
Your nights I seek
with a gentle light
the passing of which
unfolds another
To undress my soul
to rejuvenate
to reveal
and emerge out new
purified.
My thirst now satiates
A thin crescent
Marks the end
Sadness eruptes
A vacant expression
Lips quiver
‘Oh must you leave’
I repress obediently
I address nonetheless
Happiness to be expressed
All Praise due
to the one behind your departure
Bittersweet
Still in dire need
Fear hope entwined
Deeds, Du’aa , Adkhar
Acceptance I hope
Rejection I dread
All Praise due
to the one behind
your departure and arrival
for he still exists eternal
Perpetually nurturing
his slave’s weak dependant soul.
