Alone with the alone

I drowned, In the ocean of love. Hoping, The beloved Himself, Would save me.

It sneaks up on me, like a memory I thought I'd lost. A wave crashing against the shore, your presence is overwhelming. Fleeting moments, forever trapped in my subconscious. The tide of ecstacy retreats, emptiness surrounds me. I'm alone once more, at the mercy of the ocean. This is my affliction.

I am the lover who has no homeland. In search of He who is without home.

There is no life, without end.

Rush, to your Beloved's embrace.

Like a flower which blossoms, only to fall.

Searching, for a way back home.

— Shahrazad al-Khalij
