Reigniting

Shifting through
Portals
Of love and lost.

I wake up for
Suhur
At the crack of dawn.

Anxious
To feed on
Heaps
Of nostalgia
Yearning for
What I knew was never mine.

Solemnly
I sat in silence.
With a dear, dear friend of mine.
Who never disappoints.

Praying
My love for him
Drowns out
All the nostalgic voices
Whispering my name
Like Jin in the night.

Quick to overindulge
In my love for him
I reigniting
My commitment to him.

Saying my declaration of faith
Uttered first in my mothers womb
Long before I had breath.

Ašhadu anna laa ilāha illa Allāh, wa ašhadu anna Muhammadan rasūlo Allāh.
