Love






Love

All it takes to rediscover 
The soul hidden beneath 
The grime-stone
Is that secret which uncovers
The silent longings of a deafened heart -

That overflowing of love where
Your heart is a falcon
Beating wings into your chest, 

Where the sky is the limit
and you are climbing
Higher and higher until
You can't tell where the sky ends
and you begin.

All it takes to restore
The fitra of your core 
Is the commandment to do good
and prohibit evil - 

That upheaval of the norm where
Your psyche is a lion
Tearing darkness from your chest,


Where the earth is your oyster 
and you must abandon
Its pearls until 
You can't tell where love ends
and you begin.

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...

Ablaze

Beat tides of indignation. Find s trength in absolution. Rise above the darkness. Ablaze, Claim the future.

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 ...
