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.
