Restless Heart Poem by HAKAM ABUBAKAR

I shall narrate the tale of the restlessness
of the heart
With frankness I shall narrate without interpolating
the fact
Sometimes the night is a torment as sleep becomes
impossible
Because questions and doubts abound; and nothing
is reliable

I shall pen down the story of the anticipation of my
heart
In a piece replete with the sensations of love
The ways of the world have changed so much
Yet the culture of hope is still the same
While the commitment of love remains the strongest
force

May my sighs find shelter in a heart adorned with the
ornaments of affection
Just as close as melody is to the lips
The ways of the world have changed so much
Yet the commitment of love remains the strongest force.
