TS - Coney Island

 Assalamualaikum.

"You are my dream come true,"

I felt the chill to my bones,
And my chest became hardened,
As you left for days,
And the time I begged,
You gave. 

This heavy ache I shouldered,
Every single day as you were gone. 
This kite tail around my wrist,
Every month you came knocking,
Wondered what meaning it carried,
Until this day we see. 

Such a big fat liar, 
I hope you never lied to me. 
I hope the times you told me the life was bustling, 
You were really lost and couldn't find me.

Such a big fat liar,
My friend told me to stay the way I am, 
To think the best of you. 
And to not give up to the sayings of the unknown. 

Such a big fat liar,
No, you never are one.
No, you won't ever be one.
Such a big fat liar, it's not you.

TS - Enchanted

 Assalamualaikum I want to talk about a lot of things with you. How the orange skies I'm looking at right now, give me warmth and wonders. Wonders, and how beautiful they are, and what you are doing right now. I want to talk about the busy roads underneath my feet. And how the lights blinding some eyes at night, And how wonderful it would be, if you'd share about your night sky with me every day. I want to show you the things around me, How wonderful it would be, If you're to show me some butterflies in you, And how you really feel, after knowing the things that made me, me today.  I want all your sights and gaze.  All your sympathies and phases.  All of your spotlights and highlights. I want you to wonder, about my favourites and preferences. About my whole past and I want you, To look forward to the future, ahead of me and you.

Life

 Assalamualaikum It's been months I guess? These days the monologues shared are within me and my mind only.  People said my looks are pale and clueless. If only they know, The things I keep replaying in my head. The things that keep my beatings awake and I promise you they include what I should have for my next meal.  I honestly don't know what has happened to me. What has befallen me, to make me who I am today. I replayed back the moments I had when I was young. Those people and places, those facades and brutal honesty. Those half-hearted efforts and hard tears.  Those years. I always remember the times I had my demons with me. Well, I still have them with me these days. Those episodes of me and my unleashed devil traits would always make me wonder, Am I destined to be wicked? Or are they here as a test for me as a Muslim? I don't know. Those bad habits and sins are enjoyable while they last. But the heart has always known they can never sit with ease inside your be...

Life - You Mean So Much

 Assalamualaikum I want to go to Ikea once again with you. And try my best to be myself, to not fall asleep, Just to catch your laughs and smiles, And to watch you feel like yourself again.  I want to buy you lunch and dinner, and knock on your door. I want to have my meals with you, and think hard about what you can eat and what you're not supposed to take in. I want to fall asleep next to your bed. And notice how much you hate bad smells. And notice how you'd look like in the morning. And smile at you, with all my heart. I want you to feel my presence, each time you feel you're alone. I want to pick you up at the bus stop, and take you somewhere and we're gonna have some desserts. I want to buy you your favourite waffles with ice creams on top of them. I want to watch you eat and laugh. I want to do stupid things in front of you. I want to pray with you. And read Al-Quran with you. I want to talk about the wonders of Islam with you, and I want you to remind me of stuf...
