it was 2011

in His name, most Exalting, most Forgiving.
and peace be upon you.

there was a loss of a man,
one that most never knew,
expect through his loud silence,
and cheerful smile.
al-fatihah.

a spoiled, pampered, loving creature,
said her peace,
left behind five little snowballs.

a blessed, joyous days,
spent exchanging words of forgiveness,
on the computer screen to familiar faces,
so far from touch,
yet, closer to the heart than ever before.

twenty one became an unreserved number.

all happened in such a distant,
lost on how to react.

love became an aura of pleasure,
a desire for more,
and in a ring-shaped item,
with a small and sweet sparkle,
but etched in the heart, forever.

relationships became afar,
only holding on to the unconditionals,
nothing to exchange but prayers and trust.

it was everything but just 2011,
and to make something of 2012.

happy new years.
