If Departure Draws Near

-

 In the deep stillness of my endless night,  

I wandered alone

Unmoved by tears,  

Unshaken by cries.


If departure draws near,  

Let it come

I am not like you,  

I do not fear  

When the path is lost to us.


In my own illusion,  

I walked alone,  

Unafraid of the road,  

Or the torment of the impossible.


I shall go on

Unafraid of the ruthless wind  

Should it rise

Content with little.


I will not force my steps to find a way,  

No…  

I will not search in my own ruin  

For another love...

The Weight of Past Through Every Life

If I could walk through time again, A ghost upon a different stage, I'd see the faces then and when, And skip the next, blank, unseen page. I'd pass the stranger on the street, And turn away from every door, Lest their hello become defeat, And leave me wanting something more. For in their eyes, a future sleeps, A coming hurt, a heavy cost, A vow that's made, a wound that deeps, A love that's found and then is lost. So I'd retreat from every face, From every hand that reaches out, To keep my heart in its safe place, And quiet every lonely doubt. To stand alone, a hollow form, Untouched by joy or bitter strife, And build a shelter from the storm, By never truly living life... Nidal Sati

The way your soul fit in mine

 I don’t believe we met by chance The way your soul fit in mine   Felt like a story i had read   In dreams too ancient to name. I’ve loved you before In lives where we spoke without words,   Where we found each other   By scent, by sound, by the ache of longing   Carved into the stars. In another life,   You were the flame and I, the moth I danced into your fire   Knowing I would burn   Just to feel the warmth of you. In another,   You were a wanderer and I, the song   You followed through forgotten cities  Always searching, always near,   But never staying. Even in this life,   Where time pulled us in different directions,   My soul still leaned toward you   Like flowers turning to light. I do not grieve only for your absence,   But for every version of us   That never had the chance to be. So if you feel me in quiet m...

Where Your Name Blooms

 Gently, your name stirs my silence.   Hope leans into the sound of you   Even my breath moves differently now  Nights ache with your absence and light   A moment with your smile becomes eternity Across my chest, your echo lingers   Love has grown where your touch might be   All my longing wears your shade  Holding you in thought becomes a prayer  Memories bloom from places we’ve never been   And still, I would wait in every lifetime  Remembered, desired forever... you...
