Poem: Our Journey
Poem: Our Journey 1280 853 Nadir Keval

I’m a traveller,
loving every moment.
Every time I turn around,
I can say because of you, that it was all worth it.
We went through times,
some great, some tough,
but where’s the crime,
in feeling that’s what built our love?

See, on this journey,
we’ve been taking,
I thought we’d lose touch.
Sandstorms of confusion,
blinding us from seeing,
that our love is worth believing.
But, hurt us they couldn’t,
when the truth sheltered us.
Though we needed to be patient,
waiting for the storms to pass,
we still came out surviving.

On most days, we’ll be smiling,
and some when we won’t be able to help crying.
But, come tears or shine,
we can only be what we’re meant to be.
Let’s keep going on making our love grow,
and hope we never reach our destination.
I never want this trip to end,
so I can show you how much I love you more and more.
I’m certain that as we continue,
we’ll take steps forward and back,
but I can guarantee that as we lay our tracks,
there’s no other I’d want to have as my companion.

Poem: Beautiful Epiphany
Poem: Beautiful Epiphany 1600 1200 Nadir Keval

I love
how you seem to be
so sincere, in your every
thought, whisper, and word.
How it came to be,
still remains a mystery,
that you would consider me,
to be the one you love.
Many men could only dream,
of having the love I have seen,
in your heart and soul.
So true it may be,
that we are destined to see,
each other in this life and the next world.

Paradise, oh paradise,
becomes sweeter to me,
as I think of reaching it with you next to me.
Dark nights become bright,
as you smile…for your light begins to reach,
stages of grace that could only be given by the Holy.
Hot days become cool,
just as the winds bring our minds ease,
your very essence is my breeze.
Every moment is to be cherished,
as your presence is a delicacy,
keeping me nourished, and keeping me happy.
I love how…
well…
I love you.

Organized Chaos
Organized Chaos 840 1000 Nadir Keval

Someone once told me that my mind works like that of a woman (I’ll take it as a compliment…) – “so many thoughts running through my mind at once, and having the ability to organize every one of those thoughts.” I still can’t tell if I was being called a woman, but either way, it was quite the compliment to say that I was someone able to maintain my sanity, despite my completely and utterly insane work ethic. I call it insane because it is something uncontrollable thus far, and so, overtakes the approach I take to completing all of my projects.

That said though, I think that every successful entrepreneur holds at least some degree of sanity-confusion. People often tell me, “Nadir, you need to focus on just one thing at a time. Get it done with, and then move on to the next thing.” I understand where they’re coming from, but personally, I just can’t do that. I’ve never been that great at school, but the time I was able to boost my GPA the most was when I was taking 5 courses, working 40 hours at one job and a little over 20 hours at another job. As long as I can maintain my zone (which basically just means not being interrupted with other thoughts), I can handle many things at once.

My system is to have a plan, to enjoy what I’m doing, and to just have fun with my work. Try it, I’m sure you’ll love it! Then, come tell me what you think and if it works for you. I’ll probably post another article soon, to tell you about how I management my time. 🙂

Poem: The Deconstruction of Reality
Poem: The Deconstruction of Reality 1920 1200 Nadir Keval

Poetic Imbalance.
Serious Focus.
What happens to the creative mind…
When it’s engulfed by societal crimes?
A world full of judges,
with a rare occurrence to find a righteous one.

Whatever happened to living without the counting?
Why not enjoy the beauty of quality over quantity?
Stop looking for the fountain of everything,
and learn to love your simplicity, even if it leaves you with nothing.

Differences are what make the world beautiful,
Find yourself unique, and you will find sublimity.
Similarities often bring us together,
But tear us apart when they’re made to be the basis of our future.

You are your own, and I am as well.
When we don’t enjoy these factors,
We leave each other bruises to eternally swell.
But we can bring a cease to existence,
of these wretched scenes.
We need to find embrace and acceptance,
and need to become happiness-fiends.

Only then will things change. Only then will hope arise.
Now go clean the dirt off your heart.
And don’t forget to wipe the crap off your eyes.

Poem: Refreshing
Poem: Refreshing 853 1280 Nadir Keval

This is a poem for,

All the people out there,

That have felt for a soul,

Only to be left not knowing where to go.

Life made it hard to believe,

That you could ever aspire,

To be any more than what was told,

To you by others as your purpose and role.

I’m here to tell you,

You are pure like the morning dew,

Beautiful like the sun the moment before it rises,

Enchanting like the fresh scent of the skies.

No one can tell you that you aren’t these things,

For the world doesn’t know you like I do.

Every moment brings out a change.

Try to live out life holding onto the reigns.

If you ever fall, just climb back up,

And know that I’ll be there if you ever feel like giving up.

The world may seem like it’s breaking you down,

But don’t worry, just keep your soul sound.

Because…

You are wonderful, like an angel,

More elegant than a rose.

You are strong as a lion.

But with a soft soul, like a bird.

You are relief when the world is too much to bear,

You are that extra helping, when there’s nothing left to spare.

We are friends, we are companions,

Two dreamers, untold.

Our stories remain silent,

Until we choose to let go.

Let your spirit shine brightly,

Let the world hear your song.

Let your heartbeat be your rhythm,

As you move on, breaking ground.

You are everything to believe in,

A miracle in yourself.

For you were solely created,

As the one to live out your path.

Be swift like the ocean,

Stand tall like the trees.

Know that you are a fountain,

Of greatness to be achieved.

You are awesome in your essence,

More precious than a snowflake.

You are a special token,

To giving my life a stronger seed.

I may be speaking selfish,

But you’ve helped me become me.

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: 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.
