When the moon gifts me light through the window
Ribbons of her love from between folds in the curtains
I wonder if you are being blessed with the same
I wonder if she kisses your skin in the way I cannot
I wonder if I will ever be bestowed with the gift of being under the same moonlight with you

It is up to us to wake up
To realise we do not have that much time
We cannot keep waiting for next week
Next month
Next year
We must grab life by the throat
And savour every moment
Do as much as you can
Seek new places
Take silly pictures
Love with every fibre of your being
Take care of others
Make a goal and achieve it
Take risks
Stop worrying about money
Stop self-sabotaging yourself
Stop waiting for the wake up call
Be reminded everyday that you do not have all the time in the world to wait to start living.

MINDFULNESS.
Even a clean house
needs dusting.
It is clean because
it is cleaned.
even a clear mind
needs breathing.
It is clear because
it is cleared.
There is no life
but what is lived.
Everything is real
though a false perception
can weaken a home
and clutter a mind.
Every moment is a now,
every moment begins anew.

You loved my virgin heart
Scratched the healing sores that itched so intensely
Stood in the center of the storm
Spoke the words that my soul ached to hear
Sang to me the melodies that spoke to you
Soothed the creature that gnawed at my insides
Tore into the flesh that encased my body and set me free
And now I am trapped in your ghostly embrace
There's nothing there but I can't pull away
And even though it hurts
And I beg the stars to let me forget
I will forever dream about dancing with you
Together beneath Mother Moon

you were my third but the first
to steal my heart
for a butterfly's lifetime
no matter how many wingstrokes
there was no typhoon for us
only weak winds — still water
the dried butterfly wings
you left in exchange for my heart
can't seem to bear
all of this fear and tear

ye khwab hai khushbu hai ki jhonka hai ki pal hai
ye dhund hai baadal hai ki saya hai ki tum ho
ye umr-e-gurezan kahin thehre to ye jaanun
har sans mein mujh ko yahi lagta hai ki tum ho
Ahmad Faraz احمد فراز
