PLEASE DO NOT GO (IN MEMORY OF MY LOVED ONES WHO LEFT ME)

In the fading light I sat alone
Watching the lonely night
passing me by
Even in the dark
I see you everywhere

I try hard to remember
All the faces
one by one
With all my might
I close my eyes
Yet you appear in every corner

I wish I could catch
That winding road
and combed every stone in
that thousand mile
just to be with you

But will you be there for me?
Waiting anxiously with loving arms?
and chanting words
so sweet that I will not leave your side

I have tried to run away from sad regrets
The bitter life that locked up my heart
Loneliness lurks every corner
men with lonely hearts
knocked softly on the doors
and yet I said No

I tried in vain
to search secretly
the precious key
that I threw away
many moons ago
but let it be

I miss you sis
everyday, every minute
Even when I said
Please do not go
or turn your back
but its too late

I know you are gone
and leave me to grieve all by my own
And though I will tell you
I am doing fine
Please dont believe me ma

I need you more than you ever know
Never leave me
not today, not tomorrow.... not ever
So please take me with you
and I will whisper this to you
Please do not go!

A SIMPLE MAN!

It was so easy to be cosy
With all the simplicity and
unpretentious ways
I wrote and you replied
The rest just flows
Then the attraction
hence the attachment
Yet I was wondering
where was all this leading...

The charming man
I knew not from 'where'
made his mark

But what do I say
that I have not said
What do I do
that I have not done
And where do I begin to tell a story
that has no end

Somewhere along
You will have to weave your magic
To make me stay by your side
For I have exhausted all resources
And I want to stay
and be a good Muslim woman
