LOVE INCARNATE- a poem

   LOVE INCARNATE

You can gather every grain of sand in one place-
 and it still would not amount to the magnitude of her beauty-

I have dreams of her, standing high upon a balcony,-
in a grand palace, along the River Nile-
Her flowing, silken, sky blue garments ,-
billowing in the gentle, desert breeze-
She looks down at me with loving eyes and the warmest smile-

I reach out to her and her to me,-
knowing that from a distance away,-
we could not touch but in many ways we do-

A love that is unexplainable in it's power fills us both.-
Events that surround us do not weaken-
but rather strengthen our resolve-

I know that as she smiles, God(swt) smiles-
Even as I stand as a warrior, -
it is she that keeps the most sacred parts of me safe and secure-

Everything that she utters is pure wisdom and love-
She comes across as majestic and splendid,-
even while being short in stature-

She tips her head in a modest gesture with a radiant, warming smile-
Her gaze brings me closer to he who has made me-

She is not fantasy, she walks this Earth-
and she makes it a better place with her every step-
She is love incarnate-

"O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord, Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them has spread abroad a multitude of men and women" (Quran: 4:1)


With the exception of the excerpt from the Holy Qur'an, all the rest is 
by, Jalil Amir al-Hamza
