Since I Leaned Your Name Poem by Mazher Hussain Abdul Ghani

O beloved,
Since I learned your name
I smile all the time
I made that journey
To the oceans of longings
I learned how to strive for love
Your art, maybe flirting
Yet, you taught me how to kiss
How to enlighten the fire in essence
How to be a crescent moon
I learned how to be disgraceful
Yet, I learned how to conquer
I touched the aesthetic heights
And met myself in the ember of ecstasy
I caged myself in the furnace of flames
And felt the joy of being burned in love
I loved the way you tame the souls
Gentle, caring, affectionate and passionate
Your art, maybe flirting
Yet, you took me to the seventh sky
Without promising the eternity
You taught me how to merge in oneness
I followed your ways blindly.
