O! Beloved

To all the places I've been, my heart stops at your door. I ask myself, is this what I wanted or is this something already destined? My gaze meets your soul, penetrating every single bond known to humanity. Does this connection really exist in this material world? Or is this me daydreaming about something unachievable? Perhaps the answer lies in your palms which hold nothing less than my destiny. Do you hear me cry? Do you feel uneasy? What is this feeling? Each second passing by, my life pulling me closer to your breath. Is that what I breathe too? The same words I whisper too? Is this something I always had but never knew? What makes you open your doors to me? Is it me kneeling or is it love? Are you sharing yourself with me or are you giving yourself to me? These questions, they don't let me sleep. In this constant roleplay of existing, you made me act in strange ways. Who promises life until death sucks life out? Who promises happiness until all the roses turn brown? Why am I promising you a future which is slipping away? With you I see eternal happiness and peace. What do you see with me? Broken mirrors and bloodshed shadows? A wretched soul and torn flesh? With you I see endless skies and clouds in harmony. What do you see with me? Cracked walls and broken dreams? Outcast voices and shattered windows? Something I want to get off my chest will still stay there, for my chest homes your memories which don't want to be abandoned. Do you want to abandon your dreams and live with me? Leave your soul and be with me? Sell your eyes and see with me? Is this something you really want? My hand holding your neck and evaporating your heart to inflamable gas? Ignite my soul, will you? These voices in my head want me to die, let me die at your grave. Bury me under your name, one last time I will rise as your companion maybe. Escort me to your prison, willingly I will follow your path, show me all you've kept aloof from eyes evil, that want nothing but to see you die. Look into my eyes once and you will see pain and happiness at war, the later wanting your hands, and pain wanting to die at your hands. Kill me, burn me alive, all that will burn is the person who doesn't belong in this world of yours so truly white. My blood won't stain your walls, I promise. The reds won't flow, and the whites want to flow. Paint my hands with your destiny, what is there to lose? At my expense I cost no more than a bouquet of dead flowers, make ash out of my tongue for I speak too less. Forgive me if that's the best you can do, I have heard miracles of your prayers from people I don't know. As for who I am to you, decide that for me, for I am waiting at your door eagerly.

Yours truly,
Ihsaan Want.

beneath

  flesh and blood, gaze beneath, shadows creep, nails beneath, writer’s paradise? share beneath, all oceans, sail beneath, perhaps to pause, and rethink, let it sink, and crawl beneath, pyramid of dreams, sand beneath, you stand tall, sky beneath? you climb, world beneath, ponder, once, what have you lost? eerie nights, but roses beneath, skin and bones, yet lush beneath, you walk, but a creek beneath, shallow, yet you freak beneath, and all that, yet you leave life beneath? -ihsaan, always

Sunflowers

I turn my attention towards you as the sunflowers turn their necks towards the sun. My life is an endless stream of water feeding your garden, an endless row of trees shading your house, and perhaps an endless night holding you - my qamar. If words would do justice to how beautiful you are, I would have to teach eight billion people a new subject - a new revelation. Buried inside my letters are words that merely describe your outline, with each shadow of my so black stroke gently gliding over adjectives to suit you. My ink, O my beloved ink loves you more than I do, for when I get tired of framing sentences - the ink structures paragraphs against my will. Shallow. Shallow I thought my love would be, for when I saw you, you reminded me of my mother. Your eyes hold a million treasures and a million dreams, and those dreams, their own stories. I wish to be just one of those million stories, even if it is of less importance inasmuch as you remember me. Your love by Allah has n...

A letter for you

To my forever, yes you, Some days back I started wondering what would be an ideal definition for love. What is that makes people fall in love? How come two strangers, no connection, no history all of a sudden just connect? How is this different from attraction? Is it attraction that makes people fall in love? How can one put all of this in words? How can one distinguish attraction apart from love, and vice versa? How do I outline an answer for these questions? What love is and what love isn’t how do I gauge it? How do I put a range on it? Is my scale of understanding wide enough? Then I look at you, and all these questions evaporate like water on a hot pedestal. Love is immeasurable, it is uncountable. It cannot be taught, yet it is learnt. It is not an exercise, it is a responsibility. It isn’t planted, it is born. It has no shape, yet it is beautiful. It has no degree, yet it is worshipped. How Rumi describes love is how I feel; I am filled with you. Skin, blood, bone, brain, and sou...
