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: 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.

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: He said, She said
Poem: He said, She said 1280 800 Nadir Keval

He said that he loved her,
Was willing to give her
Himself, in every aspect.
She said that he lived and lied,
Cuz if he loved her as he claimed,
He wouldn’t have forgotten to show her respect.

The world claimed their love to be wrong,
Saying he was making mistakes,
And had forgotten all that made him strong.
They said she was playing him,
And that he’d be left with nothing.
But he trusted his love,
And he knew it wouldn’t just survive.
He was convinced it would thrive.

Months passed with patience,
And they grew closer than friends.
He said, “I want to take us serious,
But if you’re just having fun,
love me as you wish,
we won’t be unless you change.”
She said, “You gotta understand, I’m too young,
I want us to build that trust,
Before we take that plunge,
Into a life together forever.”

So much time had passed,
And they had become the best of friends.
He thought that maybe they were to take that step,
But her plans were elsewhere,
Saying that he had grown into a brother to her.

He said, “You broke my heart,
Ripped it out,
and shred it to pieces.
I never knew love would hurt like this,
I’ve just lost all trust in finding bliss
With you.”
She said, “You don’t understand,
I never knew this would happen.
I thought we’d be together too,
But I guess fate had other plans.”

Isn’t it plain to see?
Or is it just me?
That it’s clear to even heart’s that are blind,
She just looked him in the eyes,
And lied.
He was left broken,
And was robbed,
Of his very essence:
She took his heart.

Poem: Faith
Poem: Faith 1027 768 Nadir Keval

I can’t help it, I need to say this:

You are the definition of my dreams.
I know years have passed
since we last saw each other,
But you’ve stayed in my heart,
Left as a thought keeping me together.

Two years ago, we signed the contract,
And as God is my witness, we are husband and wife.
Life got in the way and stopped us from living together,
And we couldn’t announce our happiness to the ones we love.
My every day is spent facing a mirror,
Hoping you’d come stand behind me and smile,
And tell me, “Let’s start painting a portrait of our future together.”

I know we speak on the regular,
But it doesn’t amount to holding my lover.
I continue to work hard,
To bring in what we need,
To be able to stay together,
Making each other happy with every word we breathe.

Today, I’m returning to my love,
To show her what I’ve achieved for her.
I struggled, and asked the One above,
And He’s blessed us with what we desire.
Pleasing God, and loving you for His sake are my reasons for living,
And now with you both my side,
I wouldn’t mind living forever.

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.
