Forest of Words

Can I tell you a secret 

Would you promise to keep it for me

I am an ordinary girl 

Just like every other girl in the world

Who dreams of castles and extraordinary things 

With my head in the clouds 

My heart and eyes full of wishes and dreams

I fell in love with my extraordinary husband 

Who lights my heart up 

And encourages me to dream 

Before we met 

I was always afraid to try new things 

Scared to go places or even try new things 

He pushes me 

To try everything 

Most of all to reach for the stars 

And believe

Once upon a star-kissed dream 

My king reached out, and he rescued me 

And in this dream, or so it goes 

I reached out and rescued him as well

He is my heart 

I am his 

He is my dream

I am his

A love like this 

Comes once in a starry-eyed girl’s dreams

I have ached so much to feel you pull me into your arms

And cradle my head in that spot on your chest 

To kiss me awake with it’s only just a little tease 

My love, you are the best part of everything

I love you 

I need you 

Next to me

wandering through this thing called life

and every single second

and every single minute

and every single hour that passes each day

I love you

I love you

I love you

Is there any more or else I need to say

photography splendor by Umair I love traveling through his lens as well!

A symphony of words begins to dance inside my head

All my thoughts start to flow

All my dreams lit up before me 

All of my heart and love for you 

All my love for the beauty of Pakistan in my memories 

Roghni naan, chickpeas, halva, and chai pene? To name a few for me

Trees and more trees 

Mountains and breathtaking beauty

I have traveled to so many places, and I have a kaleidoscope of words 

All of these memories begin pirouettes 

All of the sweetest memories are filled traveling with YOU

I love sharing the world with you, Umair 

I need your hands on me, baby

I need you 

You leave me, breathless baby

I need you

I need your touch

Roses are red 

And sometimes, I am entirely too

From the tips of my toes 

To the top of my head 

A rosy glow fills my soul

And it begins to cover my cheeks 

Entirely rosy all because of my husband 

A power that is entirely my husbands alone 

A starry-eyed dreamer who loves her husband beyond all comprehension

I love you in every single second

I love you in every single minute

I love you every hour throughout the day

You are my first thought

You are my last thought 

You are all the other thoughts throughout the day

You are my thoughts when I lie in bed and cannot sleep

I love you in every single sunrise

I love you in every brilliant sunset

I love you when the stars fill our night sky’s 

I love you brighter than the sun

I love you more luminescent than the moon 

I need you so much 

I need you by my side

It hurts that we have to wait for people to tell us that it’s ok to live in the same country

In the same house

But I would wait forever, even longer if I had to 

But I don’t want to 

Because I need you and 

Because I want to curl up in my husband’s arms and fall asleep on his chest!

on my list to try

It’s Father’s Day

And the only father 

I have alive 

is my father-in-law

And I love him 

I love his gentle presence 

He quietly observes

He gave years of his life to make my family’s lives better 

In an impossible situation

He loves everyone 

He wants to be a part of everything 

And yet he takes nothing

He loves buffets, although for the life of me

I don’t know why 

He worked as a chef 

So he can create culinary masterpieces 

It makes life a lot more precious when you stop

Pause 

And remember 

We only get one shot at the ones we treasure, so we have to make it count

Today

And everyday 

I am grateful 

For the love and for the people I love and have loved

To my fathers in heaven 

you are missed 

You are loved 

Happy Father’s Day

Hug the fathers in your life

A cascade of wishes 

All entirely for you 

Hear my words offered in the stary silence 

I love you 

I love you 

I love you, Umair 

Every moment spent where I am not lying in your arms 

An ache fills my soul 

I want to feel your touches

I want you to feel mine

I want to shower you with a cascade of kisses while whispering softly you are MINE

And I am YOURS

Close your eyes and send out your wishes

I ache to hop on a flight and spend as many days as possible in your arms

The days will fly by all too quickly, as they always do, but I’m grateful for every moment of our life 

Treasured and entirely with YOU

photos all by Umair

Boom! All the sounds building inside of me 

Soft caresses of the melody in my heart

Boom! All the love I feel for you! 

Crashes on the beach, feel the tenderness as the water kisses our feet

Boom! Hours and hours of flights to jump in your arms! 

A gentle breeze

Mountains 

Sunrises

Sunsets

Boom! You are every moment, and I hate the moments when we are physically apart!

Umair! 

Your time is now Friday, and I want to be with you physically! 

Boom! Everything!

camera magic by Umair

Heart pounds loudly 

It beats for you

Listen to my words 

All spoken to you

Feel the love 

I share with you 

Each breath 

Filled with a lifetime of memories I want to share with you 

These are the moments 

I want you to remember 

You are loved

You were loved

You will be loved

Same as yesterday

Same as today 

Same as tomorrow 

Happy Anniversary

Listen to the words I softly utter to you. Your word is everything, because it is you! If you say you will do something don’t break your word, because you wouldn’t want someone to break their word to you. Honor and integrity are everything!

Starlight

Starbright 

Hear this wish I send out tonight

It’s the same one I wish for each night

Bless my husband 

Keep him safe under your lights 

Send him home to me 

He is my heart

And I miss him so

Starlight with all the wishes you give in the world 

I have one I pray for dearly 

Shukriya

Shukriya 

Happy six month Anniversary, my Umairi
