*I'm your baby.
You call my name, and I come running, not because I have to,
but because your voice is gravity, pulling me home.

You give me that look,
the one that cracks my armor,
and I smile, not like a man who’s conquered,
but like a man who’s found a reason to surrender.

You take my hand,
pull me through roads that try to push me back,
and I let you, not because I can’t walk alone,
but because I’d rather walk with you.

You hold my face,
your hands warm against my skin,
and when you whisper, "It's alright, baby,"
the war inside me quiets.

I am a man, scarred, stubborn, proud,
but I won’t mind if I’m your baby.
You are not making me weak.
You are simply loving me
in a way that makes strength unnecessary.#Abdo #29*

*It’s okay if you never arrive,
if this story remains a half-written verse.
I have made peace with being an unfinished painting,
for every stroke belongs to His decree.

Perhaps when the world fades into dust,
when all veils are lifted,
He will place me where I was always meant to be,
not in longing, but in reckoning.

And as my deeds are weighed,
perhaps my love will not be a debt,
but a patience that drew me closer to Him.
Maybe you were also the reason I spoke to Him,
asking Him to watch over you when I no longer could.*#Abdo

My poetry has improved, I think it’s not the words, maybe I’ve just started feeling you more.#Abdo

Like waves chasing the shore, I keep reaching for you, only to be pulled away again.#Abdo

Why cling to a dying rose? My thorns have drawn too much blood. Unlike the sunflowers they bloom forever under the sun.#Abdo

May He lift the weight of your sorrow and cradle your heart in His mercy.

***Ramadan Mubarak!

Wishing peace, reflection, and kindness to everyone during this sacred month. May it bring you clarity, strength, and moments of gratitude, no matter your path. Let’s continue to share light and good intentions with each other.

Not every silence means peace.#Abdo

Being the way you are is enough !
