Poem: Reunite
Poem: Reunite 1600 1200 Nadir Keval

What about you?
What about me?
What about us?
They tore us apart,
In ways that would make it impossible to get back in touch.
They told us that we were never meant to be,
So many times, they pierced us with these words.
Love, though these words meant nothing to us,
Perhaps their prayers to separate us,
Came to be because they were so many.
Every person we thought loved us,
Turned their backs and said,
“Learn to love what’s reality,
and stop living in some fantasy.
You are not meant for each other,
You have so many differences.”
But how could they…?
How could they remove us from ourselves?
They said that because of superficial matters,
Things for which they thought we deserved battles,
We were not meant to be.
Age, race, pasts and so-called mistakes.
Things we had no choice over.
Is it our fault one of us was born too early or too late?
Is it our fault one’s skin is dark and the other’s is light?
What’s past is past, we are looking to our future.
And mistakes don’t exist, merely lessons to learn from.
But, I guess their prayers to rid us of each other paid off.
They say sincerity is what makes a dream come true.
And though our marriage was our prayers coming through,
Theirs trumped ours.
And now, I stand at your grave,
And can’t do anything more than
ask God to reunite us in Heaven one day.

Poem: Wishing
Poem: Wishing 2778 2336 Nadir Keval

The people are wishing upon stars,
Seeking success from others.
But I tried those ways,
And found they left me straying,
From what I truly knew all along.

So, I raised my hands up high,
Searched out beyond the skies,
For answers to come my way,
From the One I knew would always stay.
I asked Him to send me someone,
From amongst those He’s made in Heaven,
And guide me towards becoming,
Someone worthy of having,
One of His great creations.

I sought out an opportunity.
Call me selfish, but its my priority.
To ensure that I remain filtratious,
In searching out my one sculpted by the Greatest.
See, that is what I define as accomplishment.
No, a woman isn’t some sort of material presence,
But in fact, a piece of her heart could bring you peace.
Now, for some, that’s speaking bold.
How can you be so sure she won’t leave you cold?

That’s the difference between a man and a child,
One has the sense to ask from God,
The other’s still thinking he can wish upon stars.
So, ask yourself this:
People, will you be wise,
Or will you continue to live as fools in disguise?

Poem: Beauty, Be Mine
Poem: Beauty, Be Mine 960 854 Nadir Keval

I’ve been searching,
A long time wanting,
For someone to come my way,
brightening my day.
I looked around me,
Thinking that there’s gotta be,
A woman wanting to be found,
By the man who could see,
That every ounce of beauty in her is unique.
I saw you, and you stood out,
Your image itself showed me what true beauty was about.
I could hear you yelling out my name,
Not through your lips,
But by how you made my heart believe you had it claimed.
I saw you all the time,
But never did it cross my mind,
That I could ever want you,
To be more than just an acquaintance of mine.
Slowly, your every attribute had me,
You’re more perfect than anyone could be.
Through all this time, how didn’t I see,
That you’re the one girl I’d always need.
We’ve been blessed with everything possible,
We’re compatible, mature and responsible.
Now, all we gotta do is,
Wait it out, ‘cause,
We got goals in life,
Trying to live out what we love.
I get that baby,
But I want you to know,
That I want you as my lady,
As the one I’ll never want to let go.
I hope you feel the same,
But I’ma leave it to God,
‘cause only He knows where our hearts will remain.
I see that there’s no beauty like yours,
‘cause everytime I look at you, time takes a pause.
I want you to be that light in my life,
To be that warmth,
Like the Prophet got from his wives.
God’s created you so perfectly,
Probably as my life’s definition of beauty.
But He’s also given you my favourite type of soul,
Like Khadijah to the Rasul,
I want you to be my world.

Poem: Lyrics to My Life
Poem: Lyrics to My Life 1280 1024 Nadir Keval

Sweet, strong and beautiful,

Are just a few things you are.

My dreams have come true,

‘cause you’re my shining star.

Everything ‘bout you is so real,

And you know exactly how to make me feel.

Everything ‘bout you makes me smile,

To the point I’m asking why.

What did I do to make God bless me,

By bringing your heart into my life?

What did I do to get these feelings?

Can’t be wrong, ‘cause they feel so right.

No matter what I do to try to let you go,

You’re always on my mind.

So, I’m gonna dance with the rhythm of my heartbeat,

And call you the love of my life.

Poem: “If you love her…”
Poem: “If you love her…” 1024 768 Nadir Keval

Thought I’d see you again someday,
With everyone telling me,
“If you love her, let her go,
and if she comes back, then you’ll know…”
So, I spent every night since the day you left, praying,
Asking God to have mercy and bring me back my blessing.
As much as I believed it would happen,
In the depths of my heart, I knew that,
No matter what I did, you wouldn’t return,
and that no matter what I did,
I couldn’t keep this damned heart of mine from love.
I was confused, with no choice but living it through.
I wanted you, but wanted to hate you too.
It was the only way I could find to get over this,
And so, I fought hard and finally got over this.
Continued living, with no thought of you,
And suddenly you came back, and pushed through
the guard I’d built around myself,
Had me wanting to give you another chance.
After you put me through all that struggle and pain,
I couldn’t see any logical reason to let you stay.
But see, when love comes to trial,
The heart takes over and wins with flying colors.
But why is it that despite my heart’s battle,
You seem to still be blind to my love’s color?
I guess it’s just time to try again… ”If you love her…”

Poem: Deafening Silence
Poem: Deafening Silence 1024 819 Nadir Keval

Deep thought has become my identity,
Grateful to God for giving me the opportunity,
To speak out words, so absurd to some,
But to others seeming inspirational.
For words like these, I must be more than thankful,
Not because I think they are special,
But rather, because they move me before they move anyone else.
The greatest form of gratitude I can find,
Is the silence, I place on my lips,
As I smile like an idiot, in my mind.
A silence so important,
That a pin wouldn’t even dream to drop.
Sounding as though a pin can dream,
But then again,
My dreams do pin me,
Into a world of thoughts so unheard of, but sound.
At times, my mind thinks of things that even I can’t understand,
And as I stand up, under the skies,
Hoping for some revelation,
Or some inspiration to flood my eyes…
I stop. Dead in my tracks,
Of thoughts, as I plunge into affinity with myself,
Or is that who I plan to be?
I don’t know, because that man seems like it, but he’s not me.
Then, I began to feel it,
A feeling so finite,
Yet incomplete.
That I am to be that man,
Who one day will stand,
Amongst millions, and be alone,
As a thinker of differences,
And a different thinker.
One, who he himself will adore,
One, who will always feel plastered to the floor.
As though, he will never rise,
Unless given a hand to stand,
Instead of continuing to receive feet as he is stepped on.
People will see him,
And see a revolutionary,
Not due to his actions, but due to his dreams.
He will fight for justice, in hopes that people will once again dream,
As they had been sentenced to a life of lifelessness,
A life without imagination it seems.
But this man, so alone, yet always accompanied,
Will stand with his Love in his heart,
Knowing that, let the world come to a sudden halt,
He will remain standing,
As the last free heart with a will to never stop.

Poem: Unknown Lovers
Poem: Unknown Lovers 1024 768 Nadir Keval

It has come to be my fascination,
To see you amongst the twinkles of the sky.
Subtly brightening my life,
We fell out of darkness together
only to find love between us.
With the winds blowing through the skies,
Cooling us, as our hearts heat our souls.
Connecting spirits, everlasting,
Through the essence of all that transforms
the originality of two into the complexity of one.
We never chose for all of this to happen,
But who’s to complain when the feeling’s this exhilarating.
The expression of our love is as snowflakes,
As is each snowflake beautiful in its unique appearance,
Our every romantic experience is the same.
We listen to one another just as the birds hear the seasons change,
Knowing what is to come next between us,
Even if control of our future is out of our range.
We strive to conform to the changing of seasons,
As our hearts and minds grow from emotion to reason.
And yet still, we continue to love,
Because we learn that in our hearts God will place that trust.
The trust that brings together two people,
To knowing that through any sort of precipitation,
We will remain forever as loving strangers.
