Post Modern Squalors:
Living in a world
Of pluralism
Devoid
Of any substance
Everything
Is
Relative
To Nothing
Absolute
Does not exist
Apathy
Is riding
Everyone
Yet
Remains
A
Distinctly
Illusive
And
Distant
Lover.

Labels
Isms
We are the
New age
Yoruba priestesses
Wrapped
In Budha cloaks
Of Yoga
And Pilates
Vegan menus
Downloaded
From Cyber
Spaces
Light years
Away
From our
Souls.

Appearances
Stark
Wild
Passions Unbridled
Megalomaniacs
Screaming for attention
Our Souls
Choked
Yearning
The
True
Breath
Of
Life.

Love
Resides
On
The tip of every tongue
Articulated
Intellectualized
Sucked
Spat out
But
Never  truly
Understood
And
Forgotten
To be
Felt.

-Maliha.

Salam :)

SubhanaAllah.  You have an amazing gift of being able to penetrate the complex theatre of modern life with such purity of ideal.  Love is probably the least understood word in today's world, even among Muslims.  In Arabic, they say a mother has rahma for her baby, which we call love.  Allah is al-Rahman, the Most Loving.  When the Prophet's [saw] son had died, and the companions asked the Prophet why he was crying, he said "These are the tears of a lover for his beloved."  Your words stir dormant corners of the soul that have forgotten how to love years ago.  

salam :)

Love is supposed to be beautiful, when philosophers intellectualize it and break it down and tear it apart, it takes the beauty away from it. One day maybe we will meet Mystic.  :) Have coffee at starbucks and discuss poetry. :)
