Farewell to my ola

I bid farewell to my Ola

Who once made the younger me

I said goodbye to my long lost brother

Who had set the man in me free

He returned the night of endless dreams

That once had stolen my smile

He tickled my heart in sweet ordeal

That once stood a ragged pile

I felt my love bounce off my chest

And return so swiftly to its place

I felt my youth return to me

As I burned from love’s furnace

But he returned a prince

A soulmate to another

As I had known some years before

“I believe”, I thought

But now I saw, I doubted even more

I spilled my blood to hurt my mind

That I be distracted by the pain

But all the while as I had earlier loved

I basked in endless love’s rain

The night returned and so did the dreams

Of endless love reborn

But they were dreams

As a wild goose chase

And to my heart a simple thorn

As the hadith pages my spirit read

I felt pain in my heart red

I said a prayer for a dead mild lover

And laid hurting on my bed

The morning was dark, we treaded the path

To the point where bid farewell

 Again I never believed  as I now stood before death’s well

I craved to hug but didn’t dare

Because now I knew

This love as I felt

With my sanity few

Was more than a heartache tomorrows away

My brother-friend and lover still

Had brought this sweetness to an end

Allah be praised as the morning rise

And I bath in my heartache and cries

I had lost my friend

To the world’s extreme end

And I to another unfound

Today I forget my lover’s smile

As it was as mere as a dream

As we now pray to one Sweet God

In beds afar and distant tongues

In worlds we had once not known of

Nothing stood in love’s place now but memories

As we have been claimed by life
