Poem: Searching To Be Found
Poem: Searching To Be Found 1024 768 Nadir Keval

In all my years of searching for the one,
I never came across such a woman…
who would love me with her heart and soul,
holding me to her, saying that I make her whole.
No matter what I did,
I felt like I was missing that bit,
That made her right for me.
They were all just a lil short of being worthy of my lady,
Always thinking of themselves,
And not putting any thought into true love.

Then I met her,
Completing me,
Giving me a skip in my beat,
She came and made me.
Life became a joyous occasion,
With every breath being a new beginning.
A new chance to love her in a new way,
As we gave each other all we crave:
A love, a companion,
A relationship, a blessing.
No words of any poet can explain it all,
It can be described only through the sigh of a lover’s heart.

Poem: Where do you wanna be?
Poem: Where do you wanna be? 984 1200 Nadir Keval

Reflect. Think. Do.
Done. Thought. Reflected.
Life is a journey meant to be lived.
Life is a drive-thru to eternity,
Of cool bliss or hot misery.
Stay true to your soul,
Turn your dreams into goals.
That’s what’ll get you what you need:
Happiness and a heart soaring free.
The question is: Where do you wanna be?

Poem: Into The Horizon
Poem: Into The Horizon 1920 1080 Nadir Keval

It was the first time I had seen the horizon
Sunset rising, bringing a glisten to my eyes.
I wondered how this could be,
since it still wasn’t morning,
And realized it wasn’t the sun.
It was the twinkle in your eyes.
At that moment, I began to smile,
Thinking how I could thank The Almighty,
For bringing me someone like you,
A woman for whom I was surely
not worthy I held your hands tightly,
told you to close your eyes.
For that small simple moment
It felt we were breathing the same life.
I walked over to my corner
Raised my hands in praise Of God,
showing gratitude for who He sent my way.
I looked to you and smiled again.
I hope our smiles never fade away.
You mean to me more than can be said
No words can describe it,
This is just meant to be felt.
The world called me crazy
Said that love doesn’t work this way.
As time passes by, they say love fades away.
I refuse to believe these words
As my Prophet (pbuh) said to think pure.
As long as our love is based on our love for God…
God-willing, we’ll always find our love prosper.
May Allah make our love last as a sign of success
In this life and in the Next.
God-willing, this life will be filled with bliss and laughter
But, to be honest,
I’m more excited about spending my life with you in the Hereafter.

Poem: Fluid
Poem: Fluid 3488 3438 Nadir Keval

Rivers flowing into the vast waters,

Like the soul through life, it scatters.

Searching for fantasies of happiness so pure,

Sometimes on paths as refreshing as the morning dew,

And sometimes so harsh, like hurricanes we’re not ready to endure.

Flowing through me,

Nourishing every ounce of my body.

But though it alone holds this ability,

To be what I will always need,

It has the strength to hurt me,

Like salt on a wound, healed by the sea.

Healed – Though it hurt me, it healed.

This is the power of water,

So fluid, it takes hold of whatever

May come its way, or tries to take its place,

Knowing that with it, obstacles just pass by.

Washing out life’s pores I try,

To cleanse myself of the scum of the world.

It is my savior,

Water – my savior.

Quenching my thirst when my mouth goes dry,

Soaking it with security, readjusting my confidence, my pride.

So much, but just enough to get me back on my feet,

Walking on water…unbelievable.

YES! They thought I couldn’t make it,

But now I see, even the impossible can be.

Gone unnoticed, my water is my necessity.

Meaning more to me that I could ever mean,

‘cause without it, there would be no me.

Lately though, water’s been confusing me.

Like a lake in a drought, I’ve become empty.

One day, flooding my being with love and nourishment,

And the next, leaving me wondering where it went.

I’m guessing this is a new test from God,

Seeing if I’m grateful for what I’ve got.

Or maybe it’s to see,

If I have faith that it could be,

Possible for me to live, in trust and patience,

With water as my want, and not as my need.

Upon losing my hydration,

I’ve come to the realization,

That water is my want, faith in God is my want.

As long as I can survive through these times,

Of drought, with a gulp or even the smallest drop,

I’ll pass the test of trust and patience, and trust IN patience,

And will be rewarded with Gardens underneath which rivers flow.

I would love to be engulfed by water,

Not drowned, but ONE with water.

Though this is true, I want to naturally flow to,

Working hard to be deserving of it,

But great things come to those who wait for it,

So, I’ll work hard to hold off but strong from yearning for it.

Poem: Black Star
Poem: Black Star 1700 1168 Nadir Keval

Like that black star in the night sky,
Hiding amongst others shining pride so bright,
I stand strong, knowing that I’m surrounded,
Not bounded,
By the negative connotations
The world founded.
There’s no truth to the images they create,
I can see that through the fate they debate.
Thinking life is how they made it,
But truth is, those words are the ones tainted…
By the misconceptions they forcefully imposed,
Decepting themselves,
Breakin down their souls.
What happened to the world so sound?
Greed came and shouted too loud.
Living in a world so out of place,
It’s no wonder people have forgotten reality’s face.
Doesn’t make sense to take the world by storm.
That’s just a lotta rainy days,
And happiness to mourn.
Listen to your heart and be aware of the Unseen.
Try your best to make it,
And to all that happens,
Know there’s a reason your reason is yet to be seen.

Poem: Epitomy of Happy
Poem: Epitomy of Happy 1024 768 Nadir Keval

She’s the epitomy of beauty,
Brings dreams of happiness
From the depths of fantasy,
Into a reality.
She appeals to my every attribute,
Makes me feel like my love’s the truth.
She has the smile of an angel,
You’ll see innocence in her every angle.
She’s the epitomy of beauty,
In more than just the physical,
But in her soul’s purity,
Making me fall in love with her daily.
The day I met her, I fell into a daze,
And since then, my feelings have become,
More than just a phase.
There’s things about her that I love,
And there’s thing I could do without.
But this woman’s everything I could ever ask for,
It’d be an insult to ask God for any more.
He’s sent me my own guardian,
To love and cherish me,
Without any hurting.
Now, I’m praying for the courage, to maybe,
Ask her to become my lady,
By blessing me even more,
And saying yes when I ask if she’d marry me.
I dream of days when we could start a family,
With children we would adore.
A daughter just like her
And a son, whose love for us is unconditional.
Baby, will you help me,
In finding reason to smile?
‘cause all I need to be satisfied with life,
is the chance to be your husband and make you my wife.

Poem: Destined
Poem: Destined 1280 1024 Nadir Keval

Pure intensity in the greatest sense,
Portrays the essense of my nature.
Intensity in even the most fragile of things,
Stirring out salts from even the purest of waters.
My message is to keep strong to my own,
And focus on being true to my thrown.
For no matter my status,
No matter what I’m told,
I am the King to my soul kingdom,
The only destined for what I was born.

Poem: Desired
Poem: Desired 1920 1200 Nadir Keval

Mesmerized by dreams of past,
Illusions overtaking the realities of life.
It has become overly clear that life holds its purpose,
But that the achievement is found through individual choices.
We strive so hard throughout our lives,
To please those around us.
But in truth, seeking happiness is found in the search for one’s own desires.

That said, we are left with the equation,
Of how to find the solution to fighting off persuasion.
If we lived purely for our desires,
We would be left with no sympathetic morals.
The world would become misunderstood,
To a greater degree than it already is.
With billions of opinions based on desires,
Ruling any place would cause it to diminish.

Variables in our equation should include such things,
As a foundation built on belief of a Supreme.
This would singular,
Other nightmares is what would become of our dreams.
More than one Divinity,
Would result in no difference,
From what we would be percieving from our desire-focused leaders.

This One would bring about laws,
Ones that hold no obligations,
Only because we trust them so strong.
We believe what is to come,
For we knew it to be good, no matter our thought outcome.
We then continue to pursue our happiness, desires.
But have corrected them,
By using our minds, inspired.

Poem: Blessing
Poem: Blessing 3033 2306 Nadir Keval

Since the first day we met,
I knew I wanted to be with you.
Living every breath with happiness,
Thanking God at every moment,
For blessing me with you.
All my life, I searched,
Hoping to be found.
But no one ever made me feel,
The way you do, slowly becoming a part of my life.
What will it take for me to show you,
That you’re the one I want to spend my life with,
The one I’ll stay true to,
Striving to become the best I can be, for you.
I know others have told you the same,
Saying they’d never stray
From being the best you’ve ever known.
But, they never became yours.
I’d like for you to consider my heart,
And if it matches your soul,
I know our union would be stronger than gold.
I promise you to be the best I can,
I will be everything you sought in a man.
But, that can’t be until you let me in,
Saying, you’ll be my wife, lover and friend.
