Don’t Answer The Door

Khalid Mukhtar · August 8, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Despair comes knocking often in these times
Its droll and dreary beat upon your door
Conjuring up images of your crimes
Until your shattered heart can take no more
khalid acknowledge your deficiencies
While there’s no good in lying to yourself
Your mad frustrations only serve to please
The demons wishing ill upon your health
But sit upon a rock and let the air
Remind you of the one who’s heart was filled
With grief that his beloved wasn’t there
To nurse him when a rain of stones had stilled
  The heavens sending prayers upon a man
  Content revived and pleased with Allah’s plan

Poetry, Sonnet
