Help Me,Love

I am a distant Island 
At the far end of the land
You revere its cold breeze in the day
And long for its warmth at night 
So far away, you could only imagine 
You know its origin and its potential 
As it knows yours
This Island thinks;
It thinks of you in the day, at night and every time between 
And wants that of you too.

Engulf yourself in its awe
And long for it forever 
A longing of Love
The sea beneath its feet 
Thus sways its sands, its leg around 
Its needs you with him
To help stand firm
Lest it’s exhume by the ocean 
This sea is shy;
It is shy of your empathetic heart
It is shy of your conviction,
your radiant face, your endowments.
It knows not how not to offend you 
Nor how to transpose love upon you
or how to please you.
 
Do come guide this island 
For it needs you by its side to withstand the ocean currents 
It needs you that you become another Island beside 
That you create with him other Islands
 And hold more firmly against the ocean 
It needs you 
That you help it
In obeying its Lord,
God,Allah 
Together you enter the Eternal bliss
Of thine Lord Allah in Jannah.
