It's all about love

It's all about love

The best part of love is to feel your warm embrace
Even though I so dearly love to look at your face
But being cuddled and holding each other tightly
Such that to separate us will take something mighty

How I love to listen to your heart beat
For it's in the heart that love has a seat
With quiet thoughts words need not be spoken
Since to know love silence needs to be broken

Love is special for the one who dedicates time
The heart beat is clearer than the poet's rhyme
It's your love that is what I have always needed
About you I have never anyone's advice heeded

So let me ask you sincerely to be mine
How devastated I'd be if you were to decline
It's only your amazing love that so energises me
There's no one else I want to be close to but thee

Be My Wife

I have seen you close I have seen you from afar

A smile that lights up all around as if you are a star

How I longed that you be mine to forever be by my side

Being the star you to me always to goodness guide

Would that I be able to always bring you joy

I will kill the bull and the fly if it you annoy

But somehow  I know if you want more than that

I fear my failings are exposed at a drop of a hat

How ever can I expect that you accept me, a lowly peasant

Never would I want that my beloved must me resent

And so I shy away and dream only of a blissful life

With full knowledge that you are the only to be my wife.

Goodbye my friend

Goodbye my friend it's hard not to cry
But the contentment with Allah's decree we can't deny

Too soon is only for our earthly desire
Your life's fulfilment is what we admire

Strange how we met before you tied the knot
Your friendship in some way found in my heart a spot

Not always close in person but not distant in thought
Many things spoken and unspoken me you taught

And even now in death your fate is a reminder
Of your gentle character and no one kinder

As people gathered to pray and pay their respects
For sure it's prayers our Lord never rejects

Yes, we met at a time you took a bride
Eventually you took my choice of car as a ride

But your studious nature made you fairly well-read
And follow your example I can't tread

But in your children you leave behind those with love
For a father who treated everybody with kid glove

A wife so proud of having been your wife
For many came too soon the end of your life.

Farewell my friend as you journey to a world beyond
May Allah grant that we meet in paradise at the pond.
