The Wings of the Simorgh

I will never forget the moment you stepped into my life, With your speedwalking from the station,  With the look of worry That our booking was lost because of the delay. I basked in your beauty and energy. While my initial modesty in your alluring presence was misunderstood as intimidation, I told you about my world, And bored you with history lessons, And made you laugh with my shit jokes. I loved sitting across from you  Looking longingly into your beautiful eyes, while you told me about your family, your job, your dreams for the future, All the while I hoped and prayed that I would be part of it. At the end of the night,  I didn't want the date to end, I joined you to the station even though it was the wrong direction for me, I savoured every second I was able to spend with you then, As I still do. I met my soulmate that fateful night, A future with which was written in the stars. While you just wanted to be friends, I knew from the bottom of my heart I wanted more. I'm so i

  Her sleeves do billow in wind, As she looks out upon the city from the hills

The bridge between two hearts is never straight, While some lovers waiver and stumble on this path, Others are drawn to each other like moths to a flame.  Whether it was written in the book of Life,  or sheer luck that brought our paths together, I give thanks to have met you when I did,  Without you, time feel like an eternity, When I am in your presence, time flies by,  How I wish I could slow time when I'm with you,  and make it flow faster when I am not. Your eyes put my soul into an endless trance, Your smile gives me reason to not stop dancing, Your words make me learn about myself, Your charm makes me feel like a king. Be the flame this humble lantern needs to shine, Provide that fuel that draws the moths and makes them dance,  so that their hearts can burn together in the heat of the flames, Melding flesh and binding souls together. 

As the black and white pawns dance on the board to the beat of the dice,  So do the players gaze,  shifting from pawn to pawn, imagining the infinite moves each can make,  to undo their opponent's strategy.  With every drunken spin of the dice, the pawns travel ever closer to their home, transcending the board on which they dance.  Can you see the Lover's path in this tavern game? We are but pawns in this game,  Like intoxicated lovers dancing across the world towards the Beloved, with the wine of the Saqi guiding our steps, an infinite universes can decide our fate.  In the eyes of the pawn,  there are no winners and losers,  we all end up in union with the Beloved, when one game is up,  yet another game begins!

Her complexity was drawn on the page for all to see, Like lines darted across from one side to another, Her lovers moved in and out of her life and where one's story ended, another lover's began. The web of lovers she had created held her suspended, However she was tangled and lost in her own doing. There is a pattern in her creation. She had a hidden order within the turmoil, A symmetry for her chaos, She kept the secrets of her universe hidden. For the one who saw her inner meaning, she brought him the balance that she was always seeking. He loved the girl named Mandala, Her lines were many, like the scars that revealed her bruised heart. He vowed to her that he would always love her, A consistency that she so much desired. His line was at her centre, and it curved back upon itself into a circle, and continued into infinity. His circle waded amongst all those dying lines, Those lines never crossed his path at her core, They could not break the union

She is the Sun, and I the Moon, In almost perfect unison every morning, She rise slowly across the valleys and hills, as her light fills the sky, all the animals start to wake from their peaceful slumber, while trees feast on her rays and flowers bloom in her glory. The moon remains hidden, always present in the sky, always watching her as she brings life to all her warmth touches. The Moon waits and watches patiently, As the Sun becomes tired and begins to fall from its peak in the sky. She falls gracefully, The strength of her light fading, creating a colourful romantic sunset for all of life to see and And as she starts to reach the horizon, The moon unveils himself to her and the world, and reflects the powerful rays that he absorbed from her all day, allowing her light to continue to shine through him in the night. His light may not be as strong as hers, but he has the power to move oceans, creating the waves that ebb and flow. His love for her is seen every
