IN DEATH, WE RISE

Leaves falling Opportunities dropping Yet, we're rolling When the rains came It swept away all the dust The old was prunned And all was renewed The land was green again Bearing fruits of all kind Lots of grains Looking graceful Testimonies abound in the dryness What was once barren Is now fruitful Like the Phoenix We rise from the ashes          YUSSIF AHMED IBN YUSSIF           ahmed.yussiph@gmail.com

VAGINAL PAIN

The joy of motherhood Starts from when you first hold your child I’ve heard many women describe how all the pain Of childbirth vanishes once you hold the child What if you don’t get to hold The child What if the child passed away before birth Can you imagine the pain Pain upon pain For months, whatever you will do To heal the vaginal pain, Reminds you of your loss No comfort No comforter Only sorrow Pure sorrow What can anyone say To ease your pain Until another child arrives You’re in constant turbulence Imagine it was your first pregnancy No other child to ease your pain The joy of motherhood Turned otherwise How do you heal from the loss of a loss How do you force yourself To forget At least for a few minutes or hours People have known pain I have known pain But there is no pain worse than the pain Of a painful loss  Ignited by vaginal pains It’s just so painful               YUSSIF AHMED IBN YUSSIF                ahmed.yussiph@gmail.com

ME, IN THE MIRROR

I looked in the mirror I didn't like what stood before me Didn't I just smile What about that seeming hearty laughter to that silly joke The mirror showed my insides My heart bled My heart looked at me And bowing down, smiled It looked pale Far from the happiness my lips exhibits It looked dark, reddish and grey From all the unspoken pain it harbours I couldn't believe it All the people I met today Would think I'm so happy And healthy Yet, here I stand The mirror exposing my sorrows Maybe the mirror is my truest friend He knows me, inside out My sorrows and otherwise Yet, here it is, standing by me Telling me that my feelings are valid If I showed you My dark side Would you stay If I was rough towards you because I felt rough and broken Would you stay Maybe you'd just think me arrogant Would you listen to my whinings Without complaining How can I show love When I can't feel love I can't give what I don't have

FINDING HOME

She was the figure God built The Eve I have yet to meet The home I longed to belong Then the skies opened And like magic She popped out I stared Long enough to sin She moved into oblivion Unaware of the enchantment She just emanated I watched as she turned the curve Swallowed by the cluster of buildings I longed for a second look The conversations are short But fulfilling The meetings are accidental Yet very satisfying The love that surges through my veins The adrenaline rush The sudden shiver The quickened heartbeats Why Make me understand Love is a person Home is a person A single glance And I found a home in you To the tiniest element at the bottom of the sea And the faintest of the sky I love you I love you I love you.......                 YUSSIF AHMED IBN YUSSIF                  ahmed.yussiph@gmail.com

UNFORESEEN LOVE

I’ve seen backs and boobs I’ve seen heights and hips I’ve seen it all Including my favourite Big eyes But I didn’t fall for them I’m not one to break rules But you made me I broke my rule I broke my back But you were a stranger I wonder what you Will make me do When we become family From fraternizing to fondling to family Weird But I will take it After all, you broke my rule without knowing I’m not a believer of love at first sight I’ve seen backs and boobs I’ve seen it all Including my favourite Big eyes But I didn’t fall for them But you came by Big/moderate back, well, yes But my favourite Big eyes, no So why? Why? Why did I have to fall for you the way I did I couldn’t believe myself I will cheat on you if we get together There is one thing I can’t compromise on Big eyes To me, they are the most beautiful part Of the human body You can have all the awesome Qualities in a person But
