you are for everyone
but you are also just for me
quiet house
sleeping child
and my thoughts are with you
where are you now
what does your consciousness perceive
are you alone
or surrounded by other souls
what i know
is the ache in my heart
the yearning
the longing
inexorable
i am in a new place
doing different things
surrounded by different people
and yet
it is the same
my heart is beating
ya Husayn
i don’t need anyone
to be with you
i don’t need any place
to feel the cool metal of your dharih
it is all part of me
ingrained
i used to think i understood love
but then you came into my life
and turned everything upside down
but i’d do it all over again
for you
my Husayn
