One soul poem
So much truth and wisdom in these words.. couldn’t help but share. If it spoke to you, you can follow more of Zafar’s soulful poetry and journey at https://themidnightflyer.com

How much you are able to give…
This is the measure of the gift within you.
We are all gatekeepers to each others’ soul.
There is only one (sole) soul.
Love is the eye that sees the Soul,
through the light of a shimmering tear.
So thank you for every tear;
they have helped me to open my
torn heart.
Now ink drips from my eyes onto a page meant to heal
these torn hearts of ours.
We are all scarred….
The healers are the ones who let the scars break open.

wait.
In a sacred moment
I tasted your presence
to the depths
of my soul
and all I ever knew
melted away
time stopped
and that moment lasted
for eternity
in your touch
you showed
what it means
to feel,
in your embrace
what it means
to belong
enwrapped in you
snow flakes
started to burn softly
and I forgot
where I ended
and you began
lost in the day
a thought of you
brushed by
like a gentle breeze
and butterflies
started fluttering
under my skin
in anticipation.

Light
has always been there
never beyond reach
flickering
at times flaming wild
defined spaces
clear boundaries
but to have a heart
that has bled much
loved much
it is in darkness
that the human in me
comes to life.
repose
words
can’t articulate
how you stir my soul
in quiet contemplation
…..
one with the breeze, my beautiful sister ❤
unravel
as you slowly reveal
me to myself
through every experience
may I only become
a heart that bleeds love
a soul that pours light
heart and mind of Just B
Love? What of it?
A memory of the ways things
could be.
Gentle hands of time.
Hold me.One of the rare gifted souls I’ve encountered on this path whose beautiful soul so effortlessly spills in words. Magic-like and profound. If you enjoyed this, you’ll love his work as much 🙂

don’t be afraid to show
what you know
what you hold inside
whats kept hidden
suffocates, slowly dies
or worse what you make visible
will be perceived as a lie
only the truth that is burning well
will help you survive
a deeper knowing, a fearless thought
a feeling that consumes alive
say what is on your mind
while you’re still full of life
let go, love, express, ignite
it is definitely worth a try
my love, don’t be shy
no breath comes out of a dead self
not even a sigh!
deeper tranquil
feel life pulsating
through your veins
feel it from the inside
in your fingertips, in your toes
let your skin breath
let the sun warm your soul
walking the long road
you tumbled over and fell
tired, and weary at times
you sought answers
no one could ever tell
but look where you are
look how far you have come
your eyes, your skin, your face
they all have countless stories to tell
of wars you fought
with people
with your self
faces, forms
they all will fade away
for they were never there to stay
gaze inwards
where the answers lie
live deeper in love
beyond the perception
of your eyes
in your unrestrained soul
are the moments of sheer enormity
of a value beyond words
take a dip in that ocean
there’s nothing, no nothing of the world
that could quench that thirst
even in moments of despair
there is a deeper tranquil
find a way to it
and it will stay
feel your precious life
pulsating through the veins
I’ll say these words
before my speech
in silence
is lost again
prayer beads
dearest Divine
help us, guide us, bless us
in your ever flowing love
in your eternal light
may what we do
only brings us closer to you
now that you have brought us this far
hold our hand and show us the way
clear our path to you
please don’t lead us astray
help us realize our gift
fuel our inner flame
with your holy name
help us remember our purpose
and why we came
make this purifying experience
easier on us
on our souls, on our worldly existence
polish us
enlighten us
so leaving only good behind
we do more than our empty words
could ever express
may all those who pass by
be blessed with the clarity
choosing the right from the wrong
they are led
to where they belong
if you are in our humble hearts
your essence blends
in the speech that flows
and the transcending spirit
branching upwards
unceasingly glows
with a heart full of gratitude
I only ask of you
to keep us close
quieten our minds
so you, my Beloved
can be the overflow
