I Have A Mirror For You

The lake Saif Al Malook maybe bewitching for many

I have my own lake made of love inside my heart

Where only your beautiful reflections dwell

The moonlit nights charm the visitors of Saif Al Malook

But my lake has a brighter surface

For me lake Saif Al Malook is useless

Because inside my heart’s lake only your magic works

All those songs that you wrote with your breaths on my face

I see them floating all around me today

I have a mirror for you, my darling

And that mirror is gilded and wrought with my feelings

You tilt it in any direction , you will see only yourself

In this mirror, we are forever young ,my darling

I have a place for you, called my home

Once you enter it , nobody can take you away

All the wishful nights that we have not written

With our heartbeats yet , are waiting for us in that home

And , yes far in future I can see a girl belonging to another century

Writing our story, in a language not known to the world .

My Furry son , My Ambrie

It hurts to call him stray cat now. He came to the right place to occupy the right heart. He is beautiful like a pearl . Always talkative and speaks for himself . Tries to play with me . Almost an adult now but instantly turns into a baby as soon as I lift him up .

Well, I refuse to enter the heaven , unless he is given to me one more time . A heaven can’t be heaven without my lovely cats , also my life would be bland without them . 😍😃

Our Sacred Paradise

Doubts don’t make you beautiful my darling , if you know

They only take away light from your eyes and color from your cheeks

We need lions’ hearts and wolves ‘ blood in our kind of love

I can fix your pale face and make your eyes sparkle again, for sure

Don’t you see how bright the moonlight shines on us

How can you forget the sun rises for both of us

At every sunset I can hear your ocean eyes whisper my name , my darling

Let the tides ebb away and let’s claim our paradise again

Our Sacred Paradise where , we would not let the devil tread between us

The devil has taken you far into a world of Oblivion

Where you don’t recognize yourself anymore

There is no another of you and there is no another of me

My destiny with you is as bright as my hope and trust in us

I have not broken the pen, since I wrote my oath with you , my darling

The ink is bright and wet even now ,like our shiny lips and moist eyes

Title : Our Immortal Souls

I loved you in more ways than I could comprehend myself

With you I lived immortal and too perfect moments

The moments that existed like centuries

A life better than one thousand years

The love faerie had been the most free and the wildest for us

I wish every soul goes through that precious journey of losing itself

For us the travel and the destination had the same meaning

Didn’t it start like a joke ? Darling

I wondered why you were alone

You told me to be careful

as we both were falling for each other

You knew me more than I knew myself

Until one day my heart refused to beat without you

You told me my text caused your heart skip a beat

And I wondered why ?

Is all love that naive ? Darling

Then our love stood on a cloud for all to watch

We defied all the traditions of race , religions and ethnicity

Love has nothing to do with them

I was not a damsel in distress and you were not a knight in an armour

Yet we both , saved each other

Our immortal souls had been in love for time unknown

Title ; No Goodbye

I promise that I would try to live without you , from today

It took me sometime to come to terms with your sudden departure

Please , I do promise

I know , you may not come very soon

And I promise that I would not cry again

I do listen to you darling ,

And I understand why this has happened to us

When my heart will fall into abyss next time

I will not have your shoulder to cry

Though I try to meditate each day , but what I hear is only your voice

Narrating our story of the time gone by

Nevertheless ,I already know about it

Perhaps , we will never make our future together

Perhaps ,that’s why I only hear the echoes from our past

And I promise to sleep alone without you

For I know you also sleep alone

I will eat our favorite food alone every day

And I know you will recall me, when you would do the same

Today I read your Valentine’s day poem for me

And I looked at that meditating portrait you painted of me ,years back

When the life will hit me hard again

I will find peace in looking at our old photographs

It will again work for me ,as it has always worked

I would never say goodbye , darling !

Because in my life there is only welcome to you .

Title ; Two Words

Sat, Sep 10, 2022

The sweat on your brow brightens up your rosy face

While pearls of sweat adorn your skin more and more

I am left in an awe of your loveliness

As you fix the horseshoes in your stable

You do not notice my presence there

The stream of sweat reflects rainbow colors

And each color melts my heart

This sweat as fresh as a mountain spring

Washes away all the dirt from my soul

Then I find you singing ,an ancient sailor’s song

Your delightful voice blows away my mind

While I still stand there watching you

You look up and call my name out

That joyful dream quickly breaks

And I can say only two words ” My Darling ”

My sketch of color pencils and acrylic paints of Blessed Mother Marry . 🙏🙏😍😍

Your Kind Of Love

Your kind of love is the only one , I long for ,even today

Your kind of beauty ,my heart absorbed and wanted to keep forever

Even after so many years , yours is the love so vivid that I can almost touch it

For some it might be an insanity

Your kind of insanity, was the one that revealed a vast world of reality to me

Though you may not have known it

Your kind of love gave my heart a new faith

The fabulous intensity of your love ,made me loyal to you in life and death

Until I was able to mend all the broken links of my heart

Our love may have become a distant illusion for your weary mind

For sure , that illusion is the rare wealth between you and I

I am the faerie whose whispers you often try to catch in your long summer days

In all my dark times your bright smile is still my rock

How sweet was your magical aura ,that allured me into a misty world

Thank you for loving my wayward heart and mystic mind

Those long Winter Nights

Poem by ; Ruqia Ismat

Sunday ,Sep 4 , 2022.

On this hot summer day , I miss our long winter nights , darling

Your face was that charming and exotic lyric poem

I loved to celebrate each verse

The more I read , the sweeter it got

I could see the fire in your half open eyes when you kissed me ,darling

In those long winter nights

What a soulful experience it was

when you allowed me to write my verses on the veins of your arms

The moment you cupped my burning face in your lotus _flower like hands

We both started floating on an invisible lake

Oh , that your unpredictable love was more beautiful than my imagination could offer

Your butterfly tattoos were most visited by my lips ,in those long winter nights

You resented not being able to do your workout enough and said

“I want to be my best for you , darling ,

You won my heart over and over again ,in those long winter nights .

Good day to you my dear kind fellows . God bless you ways . Mixed media portrait of Alec Benjamin . That’s how I spent my happy time today , doing a piece of art . Art always feeds my spirit . Enjoy 😍🙏🙂😁
