We’ve got a brand new poem by Fatma Lootah titled “Hope” We hope you enjoy it
You’re a dream.
A lovely dream
That I’d love to feel,
That I’d perish to see.
A lovely dream
That I don’t desire rousing myself from.
***
You’re my shadow.
My jet-black shadow,
Thats utterly magnificent
Against the ivory wall.
***
You assist me in constructing
Every step of the stairs
That’ll take me
To where I need to go.
To where I need to be.
***
You’re my light
That guides me through the dark.
You take my hand
When loneliness has taken over
Only to pull me up with you
Towards the infinite skies.
***
You trail behind me,
Wherever I go.
You help ascend,
Whenever I drop.
***
You’re my vast imagination.
You let me fly.
You let me glide.
***
You let me soar
Across the ravishing blue sky.
You let me immerse.
You let me engulf
The depth of your warm, harmonious soul .
***
With you I am secure.
With you I am determined
That I am capable of fulfilling anything.
With you I am positive
Of changing a world
That knows nothing
To a better one
That doesn’t know nothing.
With you I’m a
Never-ending list of things.
***
I gave you a pristine name,
my old friend.
An entirely charming
Flawless name.
***
Hope,
With you,
I am unstoppable.
