me about myself: interesting concept but poor execution!

This life ends in the blink of an eye. Will you spend today chasing after things you can't take with you? Seek the pleasure of Allah.

dizzy.

i’m feeling dizzy again

spinning in a daydream like a drunken slowdance

i’m writing love letters in advance

while i’m waiting for whoever’s hand reaches for mine with the right kind of spark in her eye from wildfires we both know all too well

and as i lay down my shield she’ll come out of her shell

i wanted to let her know i see her scars as stars and everything is art to my wildfire heart

and i write love letters in advance

as i’m spinning in a slowdance daydreaming of romance

while waiting for her hand

and i’m feeling dizzy

Do you want to be happy? Let go of what’s gone, be grateful for what remains, and look forward to what is coming

“May Allah lift you to the position you so dearly desire. May Allah erase your secret fears. May Allah answer your secret prayers. Ameen”
