A Wistful Love





A Wistful Love

Were that I could gaze,
Upon your illumined face.
Were that my eyes could trace
The pearl of nur in its embrace
Of the grooves of your face –
The perfect arches of your brows,
Your midnight orbs – piercing yet somehow
A reflection of mercy, love and grace.

Were that I could see
The seal of prophecy nestled proud,
Between broad shoulders speaking loud
Of original form – a guarantee
Of a gentle prowess, courage and strength - only found
In the best of the best, Al Mustafa,
Whose blessed gleam reached near and far-
A breath of life to a people drowned.


Were that I could drink
From the well of Ilm that you exude,
From your healing and love of a magnitude -
To rival the fire of a burning star,
To soothe the pain of a livid scar.
For surely you are the missing link
In a yearning hearts disquietude,
A promise of guidance and fortitude.

Were that I could sleep
To dream of your beloved form,
Witness your splendour and reform,
plead you take my hand through this storm!
For you are the beloved of Allah
Ennobled Intercessor, ya Rasulullah:
Were I to envision you and awake, I’d weep-
weep to dream once again.

The Price

Minerva rose from the sodden trench, her skin cracked and aged with time, a bobbing sea of crimson before her. The sky whirled above, a kaleidoscope of colour dashed with the ebony of ethereal crows – each hue a chapter of a life long lost. There was something somewhat uncanny about the air this time, a familiar tang of foreboding that hung like a tightened noose. She sighed.   When would mortals finally learn that the price of war was eternal damnation? Flash Fiction – 80 words.

Sir.

Sir, I truly am very sorry to tell you that the sun does not shine out of your posterior, that I will not conform to upper-class snobbery nor will I place frivolous labels upon the mundane. Pretentious. Sir, It is with the utmost regret that I inform you that I am in fact   a GIRL – that is sugar, spice and all things nice but also slugs and snails and puppy dogs tails and I will not pretend otherwise. Archaic.  Sir, I really do apologise that you feel the need to treat me different my head being covered , my skin being almond, chestnut, cinnamon – Prejudiced. Beastly. But Sir, I am the face of the future The mind of the liberated A body of change And you will not thwart my flame.

Knowledge

Knowledge. This is a word that holds extortionate amounts of  weight. A word or better yet, an object that could bring down nations only to build them up again, stronger than ever before. But what does it mean? At it's heart - what is it really? In my opinion knowledge is subjective. It is influenced by age, nationality, experience, religion and science among many other factors. Not only that but its very fibres, what it really is at its core is only that which we believe it to be for we all hold knowledge (in whatever form that may be), but how we practice it, what we consider it to be differs. I, for instance, believe that knowledge is an all-encompassing light that guides us and leads on to wisdom. It is not merely the art of being book smart or knowing scientific facts, rather, a kaleidoscope of the skills we have learnt, the hardships we have gone through, the ability to inquire and seek the truth and, at its crux the understanding of the happenings around us and the ...
