Haunted By Love, Healed By You

By Noor Aqudas

I met you in a wild haunted city 
where I caged myself and succumbed to pity
The four walls stole my peace and harmony 
They called me a monster, labelled me cruel, called it irony 
How can it be insane for a person ? 
When love is fearless the best of versions 
When healing has shoulders 
To lean on a soulful bolster
I love you like a breeze 
That softens storms and freezes pain with ease 
The thunder, the roar, the choked self of mine 
All seems like a nightmare when love finds me fine 
I swept in all alone when dust was all around 
But I forgot to slow it down when your blistering warmth surrounds 
I know you weep in silence to let me sleep in peace
But I know you need my calm words to mend your wounds and make your pain cease 
It's not about the paramour or the beloved's fate 
Rather the secret whispers which aren't being made 
It's a plea from flesh to one's soul, urging love to make it whole 
But destined are two selves who belong to one soul.
