Laal Zamzam

The clouds were sown with daffodils and sunflowers, joyful wreathes adorned pearled ships in the sky. The sun gleamed off their pillowed cliffs to form citrine crystals floating, dancing with the morning breeze. The mountains were covered in the snowfall of sugar, crisped by kisses of moonlight. Her presence was announced by a gust of justice, her face was the sun and the moon, balancing day and night. The stars were all the places her glance had reached and halted to form art at the blink of an eye. The courses of celestial movements were given inertia from her cathartic sigh.

My love for her sits deeper within me

Than light sits within the darkness

Bismillah

Taking three sips of zamzam is sunnat - it’s true

So I drunk one for myself, and then took two for you

Drunk in the rivers of your remembrance I cry

Left to drink my own blood as I fall forever

And die

On the day of judgment, rising from ashes with the scars of your love

Your image clings to my heart on that day, as below, so above

It’s from الله
