How Does One Explain?
It's a feeling that confounds confusion, terrifies fear, and delights joy, oh how does one explain
The vicissitudes
Love’s steady ground and accompanying waves, it’s elative joy and it’s daggerous pain
Rendering tender hearts like mine, unfortunately or fortunately - partially insane
A thousand decades observe her divine gorgeousness in body and spirit
Even if my memory of her were to slip and fall as an earring down the drain
This surge of emotion would awaken upon every hour the thought of her name
Looking through the window of an airplane
Or the lamped moon as it waxes and wanes
In different languages, phrases, and poems, the gust over my eyes reigns
It drenches the scorching desert sand dunes and dries up torrential monsoon rain
This was material manifested in the heart, spun in the soul, and woven into my brain
It’s blueprint was written prior to Adam, before lilies set root under the grassy plains
This grass is fragile. Mother Earth, holder of all material wealth
Clutches it to her breast and earnestly whispers
“I shall not let you go”
It’s from الله
