Bliss and beyond
A state of delight
Blissful pleasure
Contentment
Tranquillity
Enchantment and joy
If people knew how it feels
They would’ve fought for it
With arms and teeth
No privilege… No adversity
No gain… No loss
No health… No pain
No achievement… No catastrophe
No triumph… No defeat
Can Annihilate
Or nullify
Passionately… with a heartfelt desire
I want to share
**************************************************
Beyond
This love I have for you
Holds me, lifts me, carries me through
When all is dark
When pain is deep
When love is scarce
When friends are few
This love I have for you
Holds me, lifts me, carries me through
********************************************
Is it really cruel?
People say
What happened to you
Is so cruel… so unfair
To have to lose khaled
In such an awful way
When you are so much in love
I say it is very painful
But not at all cruel
Death is nothing
But a gate way
Everything dies
Everyone dies
Why should I
Be the exception?
His journey ended before mine
That’s all
And soon I’ll follow
It’s only a matter of time
Before we are together again
We come to life
Only for a while
Also… the law goes
The higher you fly up
The greater is your fall
The law goes
The more intensely you enjoy your love
The more painful is your sorrow
This only fair
For some live and die
Without experiencing real love
And I’ve experienced all
It’s not cruel to give something back
And to feel more pain
Is not unfair
**************************************************************
With You I am OK
Dear Most Compassionate
Show me the truth
As true
And help me follow
Show me falsehood
As false
And help me avoid
Help me… say the truth
Help me… do the truth
Help me… think the truth
Help me… feel the truth
Dear Most Kind
I am lost
Without your guidance
Frail
Without your support
Miserable
Without your company
Dare I run away from You
Except towards You
Is there a place to hide from You
Except under your wings
The world has wronged me
Forsaken neglected and ignored
Held me responsible as the victim
Declared me guilty while innocent
Put me on trial although oppressed
Imprisoned me for being abused
An abandoned child
Blamed for… being…
But if You are pleased with me
I can take it all
Nothing else matters
