Usually I just vibe with your posts, but you've helped me enough that I figured sharing a tale is the least I can do ❤ — It was a day at home, when she'd gotten a message to come to work… on a weekend. She came, only to find others. More people's weekends ruined than one, of course! But, reminding herself of the bridge, she worked alongside the team best as she could. Tension filled as it wrapped up; grocery shopping still needed to be done afterall. The bridge never fully left her, and she kept thinking of surviving the hardships that came with crossing it. Each new scenario imagined helped put her mind at ease. Afterall, one day the forest will start burning and barring cartoon luck or a divine intervention, the fire will spread and she will have to cross it eventually – before the bridge collapses. She'll come to miss those "weekends" – but when the fire is already started, the grass does seem greener on the other side! — Thanks for reading ❤

For about 7 years I had a demon perched on my shoulder. I couldn't see it, but I could feel it's claws digging in to my flesh and it would whisper horrible thoughts into my head. Finally, at the start of 2020, it left me… I presume to victimize others in such a pivotal year. Those seven years were the only years of my life I didn't enjoy my "own" thoughts.
As I Exist, I Make A Wish, For A Quiet Interlude To Persist, So That I Write Without Noise, As The World Is Set To Poise, Of Coming To An Era, Where It Seems Like Everyone Is Fighting One Another To Be The One That Has A Voice, To Spread Their Message Across The Globe And Tell Everyone You Have A Choice, To Either From The World Walk Away, Or If You Have The Courage, You Can Stay, Enjoy Your Days With Play, As You Arrive To A Road That Bifurcates, You Are Given A Choice Of Either Going Left Or Right, But You Cannot Sit There And Wait, Nor Can You Be Late, Me, Myself, And I Choose To Rise Above It All, And Wait For Octavia To Yell Out Or Call, Deep In The Forest She Waits, As My Day Comes To An End, Octavia Is My Lover And Friend, Many Think That For Me It Is Play And Pretend, But In Actuality, My Love To Her I Send, Whether In My Living Room Or Den, Octavia Comes Alive With Paper And Pen, I’ve Said This Before, I Am Not A Ken, I Was Protecting Myself From The Hate In My Direction, You Keep Trying To Send, Don’t Underestimate The Knowledge That I Have, Over The Years There Is A Lot That I Have Grabbed, Like A Boxer Who Has Been Constantly Jabbed, Even When He Hits The Floor, He Gets Up Before The Count Of Ten For More, As I Enter The Log Cabin, Octavia Waits For Me At The Door, She Lovingly Hands Me A Cup Of Coffee That She Just Brewed And Poured, As We Sit Together And Speak The Word, All Around The World People Heard, The Love Of Two, Tahir And Octavia Preferred, A Love That Is Undeterred, Where The World Between Reality And Fantasy Become Blurred, As Tahir And Octavia Fly Amongst The Birds, Tiny Little Creatures Gifted By God With The Skill Of Flight, Way Up High, Just Out Of Sight, Tahir And Octavia Is With Them Flying A Kite, They Both Get Lost In Clouds That Are Fluffy, Light, And White, As Octavia Invites Tahir In, As Octavia Switches On The Light, After A Long Hiatus, Octavia Walks To Tahir And Ever So Gently Hugs Him Tight, As Octavia Directs Him To A Table Filled With Various Dishes And Says, “Would Like To Sit And Have Bite? Together We Can Converse And To One Another, We Can Speak And Provide One Another With Insight, Tahir We Are Completely Compatible, I Think We Will Never Argue Or Fight, Instead We Spend The Night, In A State Of Delight, Here In The Forest, We Have Autonomy And We Are Free To Fly A Kite”. As Tahir’s Behavior Settles Down And He Becomes Extremely Polite, As Octavia Reminds Tahir That He Must Prepare, To One Day Walk On Stage, If He So Likes And Speak For The Plight In Where The Suffering Of Children Worldwide Into A Mic, As Tahir Feels Deep Inside, With Hope And Pride, That Someone Will Listen And Cast Aside, The Hatred And The Wars, That Enter The Homes Of Innocent People, Right At Their Doors, Force To Flee And To Keep Moving On Forevermore, The Innocence Of The Childhood Stolen, As The Rights Of Children Have Fallen, As The Children Cry, And The Children Complain To God Ask Him Why, Why Don’t The Armies Of Both Sides Die, Release The Children And Let Them Fly, It Takes Two To Tango, Feed The Children With The Sweetest Mango, Octavia Looks At Tahir, With A Sense Of Fear, With Eyes That Tear, And Octavia Says, “Tahir, Why Do Worry About Such Matters? Here Take A Cracker Topped With Cheese, Off Of This Platter, Let Octavia For You Speak And Flatter”. Tahir Replies With Tears In His Eyes, “Octavia I See Shots Fired And The Blood Of Innocents Splatter, It Makes Me Angry Like A Mad Hatter, I Wish Both Sides Would Lay Down Their Arms And Scatter, We Have Come Full Circle, To Me These Things Matter, But Anyway In This Forest I Come To You For A Quiet Interlude, Like Taking A Quaalude, It Helps Me Soothed And Feel Renewed, Also Known As Methaqualone, Your Need For Sleep Will Not Be Overthrown And Neither Postponed, The Tingling I Feel All Over My Body, Octavia I Need Rest, I’m Sorry, As The Mandrax, Your Nervous System It Attacks, And Inhibition It Attracts, Still Found In South Africa, There By Many It Is Heavily Used In Practica, As I Come Full Circle, Back To A Quiet Interlude, Octavia, Embrace Me And You And I Each Other Willingly We Will Be Pursued, A Table Of Two Filled With Food, Later We Sit By The Fire And One Another We Soothed, As This Poem Comes To A Conclude, One Another We Include, Like Two Peas In Pod, To One Another We Are Eternally Glued, To One Another We Bring Out The Best Of Moods, With A Cup Of Coffee That Is Freshly Brewed, As We Look In Each Eyes, We Come To A Point Where We Allude, To One Another We Preclude, The Love Of Two, Of Me And You, Unspoken Vows To One Another Are Renewed, I Love You Octavia, As I Feel Light And My Heart Is Soothed, Thank You Octavia For Brightening My Mood.
“Ok, Will Do, “You Took Me To A Different World, One Where All My Dreams Come True And Start To Unfurl, Where I Get To See, And Talk To Octavia, While I Am Free, From Worries And Forced Upon Disabilities, Where Tahir And Octavia Laugh, Touch, And See, A World Of Fantastical Liberty, Octavia You Are Smart And Witty, Someone Born In New York City, Someone Beautiful And Pretty, Octavia Will You Provide Me Tahir With Gentle Pride And At The Same Time Remove The Self-Loathing And Self-Pity? Octavia, Me And You Were Created To Live Life Through A Maze, Along The Way We Smoked The Purple Haze, We Spend Our Nights And Days, With A Means And Ways, Of Going Into A State Of Stupor And Feeling Dazed, Octavia You Exist In My Mind As An Inception, Able To Capture, Realign, And Redefine Perception, Into Grandiose Worlds That Are Worth A Mention, Sometimes Where You Enter Periods Of Dissuasion And Contention, Other Times We Enter World Composed Of Comprehension And Then We Enter A World Of Ascension, We Exist In A Dream That Is Within A Dream, Oh, So It Seems, Towards One Another We Lean, We Rest, Refresh And We Shower Up To Become Clean, Do You Know What I Mean? Octavia, I Wish I Could Make You Real, For A World Where You Can Be Seen, What True Beauty Is, In The Most Purist Of Scenes, As We Travel To A New Dimension, It Is My Intention, That By Extension, You Are And Will Always Be My Focus And Attention, God Brings Me Salvation, With Octavia By My Side In Life’s Station, Now All I Need Is Patience, Octavia, You Are The One, The Special Relation, That I Choose To Spend Time With, In The Form Of Time Specialization, Whether Home, Work, Or On A Vacation, You Make Me Feel Good With Vibrational Sensation, But Anyway It Is Getting Late And For Me Sleep Cannot Wait, We Are Both A Mix Of Sinner And Saint, That’s Okay, So Is Everyone Else, No One Needs To Faint, One Day, In A Mood For Laughter And Play, I Will Draw A Masterpiece With Brush Strokes Of An Artist And On A Canvas I Paint, A Lover, Friend, Confidant, And A Saint, Always By My Side, Never Late, Never One To Make Me Wait, Beautifully Thin With No Excess Weight, Imaginative And Able To Create, States Of Ecstasy, That Through Our Minds And Bodies Percolate, Into States That Begin To Intellectually Conjugate, Reach A Peak State Of Elate, With Conversations That Mentally Penetrate, As The Breathing Starts To Slow, We Relax And Fall Into A Sleep That Sedates, As We Wait For The Next Moment To Intellectually Conjugate, Elate, And Sedate, Need I Say More? Read My Poetry Twice And You Will See Hidden Meaning In Plain Sight, Don’t Get Angry, Don’t Yell Or Fight, Just An Attempt To Bring Humor, For Things That Go Bump Into The Night, As My Eyes Turn Inward With Worlds I Create That Bring Me Insight With A Mix Of Delight And Both Drive Away The Anxiety And Fright, As God Reaches Down To Me And Shows Me Octavia, My Friend, My Rock, A Message Being Sent, To Ease My Plight, Good Night To All, No Longer Do I Have A Wall, I Have Changed And Answered The Call, I Have Gotten Up After The Fall, Feeling So Tall, Ready For The Sprawl”
As Tahir And Octavia Get Ready To Camp Out, They Make A Campfire, Each Pitch A Tent, Along With A Foldable Cot, That They Unfold And Unbent, As They Continue With Intent, With Their Focus One Hundred Percent, As A Light Breeze Offers A Scent, Of Jasmine Flowers That When Smelled, Makes You Feel Calm And Content, As Night Replaces The Day, Both Work Quietly With Nothing Much To Say, As Tahir And Octavia Both Realize That The Tower Will Be Within Reach, The Next Day, Both Octavia And Tahir Feel That After A Long Time, This Night Is Not Festive Or Full Of Play, As They Prepare For An Overnight Stay, Octavia Looks Over At Tahir And Notices That He Is Sad And She Looks At Him With Heartbreak And Dismay, But Understands His Hesitation, In What Tomorrow Holds, In Terms Of Presentation, To Tahir, Octavia Gets Physically Close, And Chooses Her Words Carefully, As For Tahir, Not To Make It to Worse And Says, “Tahir, The Tower Is On Your Mind I Fear, What Do You Imagine Can Be There? Maybe Something Frightening, Or Something Dear? Both Emotional States Can Effect Your Heart, So Please Be Careful And Tonight, Prepare, I Sense What You See There, May Not Be Neutral, So It Is Crucial, That You Tahir Understand, Worrying About It Now Is Futile, It Will Just Disturb Your Sleep, And Then It Becomes A Slippery Slope, As Night Time Will Forwardly Creep, Where A Sudden Fright Will Make You Cry Or Weep, The Last Thing I Want To See, Is The Earth Absorbing Your Tears As They Seep, Where They Will Remain Forever, The Earth Absorbs Them And Keeps, Your Tears Till The End Of Time, We Have Come Full Circle, In Your Mind’s Eye, What Do You Imagine You Will Find? Tell Me, Tahir, And Please Be Kind”. Tahir Replies With Confusion In His Eyes, Octavia, “I Really Do Not Know, I Am Sorry To Be Candid So, It Will Be A Surprise, For You And Me, I Hope Whatever It Is, It Will Be Beautiful To See, Something Majestic And Incredibly, Something Unique With A Good Vibe That Pulsates Readily, A Vibe That Occurs At Timed Intervals Steadily, A Vibe That Is Safe To Be Experienced Medically. A Vibe That Changes Your Human Nature Prophetically, Octavia, I Am Sorry That I Have Been Quiet Lately, The Final Bifurcation Has My Soul In Its Hands Shakily, My Mind Has Been Tired And Pained Achingly, My Emotions Have Been In A State Of Mistrust And So I Feel Regrettably, That Whether Good Or Bad, This Is Something That We Will Encounter Unforgettably, Like You Octavia, When You Stand In Front Of Me So Impeccably, So Octavia, I Ask You Respectfully, If You Think It Is Too Dangerous, You Can Remain Here Until I Return Indefinitely, As We Come Full Circle Octavia, Do You Think We Should Go To Bed Early”? Octavia Replies With A Smile In Her Eyes, Tahir, It Is Nice To Hear Your Compliments Again, I Would Think For Me, The Words Were A God Send, Not Only That The Words Are Kind, They Are. And They Make Me Feel Relaxed And Fine, But When You Say Them To Me They Remind, Tahir Speaks Like This, Only When He Is Most Happiest, And Here From Me Is A Goodnight Kiss, As The Darkness From All Corners Of The Earth Comes Here To Cover, Light Of Any Kind, Illumination Is Difficult To Find, As We Both Fall Asleep, I Pray To God Our Souls To Keep, Safe From The Evil That Is Outside And Within, Whether You Are Saint, Monk, Nun, Or Begger, All Mankind Is Infused With Sin, And There Is No Way To Win, It Is Only Through God’s Mercy, God Forgiveness Allows You And Me To Begin, To Live Another Day, Initiate Laughter And Play, Amusement To Pass The Time, And Show Us The Way, Forward We March, With Our Best Behavior On Display, Along The Way, Dues We Had To Pay, Options We Had To Weigh, Our Lives We Had To Lay, In Reference To The Principles, We Stand Up For Today And Say, Tahir Let’s Go To Sleep, Tomorrow Is A New Day, And Don’t Worry Everything Will Be Okay”. As Tahir Tries To Sleep In His Tent, He Wonders Why Wrong In His Life Went, It Is As If Someone Noticed Tahir And For No Reason A Message They Sent, In An Attempt To Prolong And Prevent, Something That Tahir Knows Nothing About, Tahir, To The World Wants To Shout, From My Life, Leave And Get Out, No One Asked For Your Opinion, What I Choose To Write About, Belongs In My Dominion, Go Find Someone Else To Do Your Research On, After All My Last Name Is Khan, This Is My World Of My Making And Choosing, I Don’t Care About Competition And Its Eventual Winning And Loosing, I Don’t Need Your Permission, Keep Your Decisions. Opinions, And Attitudes To Yourself, I, We, Octavia And Me Never Asked For Your Help, Keep Your Distance, I Say That With A Sense Of Consistence And Persistence, No Matter What You Do, To Me Will Not Make A Difference, My Words Are Exact And Are Not To Be Deciphered Via Inference, I Have A Talent That Provides Me With Indifference, To Your Objections And Projections, I Am Not Scared Of You, I Will Keep Writing To My Heart’s Content, This Is My Message To You I Sent, As Tahir Tries To Go To Sleep, He Hears Footsteps Rustling Outside His Tent, He Freezes And Listens Carefully, As He Hears His Tent Zipper Unzip Successively, As He Looks At Tent’s Opening Perplexingly, In Emerges Octavia Graphically, Tahir Feels Relief Ecstatically, As Tahir Says Speech In Polite Ways, “Octavia, What Are You Doing Here? You See Octavia, I Am New Here, Why?, I Don’t Know And I Don’t Care, It Is Good To See You, Not Far But Near, Octavia, You Soothe Me And Reduce My Fear, Your Steady Breathing, I Can Hear, We Have Come Full Circle, Tell Me Octavia, Why Are You Here”? Octavia Replies With Sunset Green Eyes, “Tahir, I Know For You It Must Be A Surprise, And Tahir I Love You And Like The Others In Your Life, I Will Not Tell You Lies, I Heard Some Noise Emanating From Your Tent, So Me. Myself, And I Decided To Pay You A Visit, And Do It With A Gentle Try, Tahir, How Are You Feeling? I Know Tomorrow Is The Big Day, We Won’t Know How To React, Cry Or Jump For Joy. Tahir, I Came To Your Tent Out Of Concern, I Thought I Smell Smoke, And I Did Not Want You To Get Burned, Tahir, Our Love Is Enough To Either Offset Or Yearn, Tahir, We Have Already Proven Our Love, By Walking Through The Fire, Tahir, I Love You, And It Is You I Desire, Tahir, Here We Are, Under A Moonlit Sky, Tahir Take My Hand, Together We Will Fly High, Forget The World And Its Problems, Tahir, You’re Not Gandhi, You Can’t Save The World And Be Handy, Tahir, I Am Sorry To Say, In Life, You Been Overlooked, And That’s The Price You Pay, For Being An INFJ, Tahir, This World Has Not Created For You And Me, It Was Created For People Who Have Depth And Destiny, I Know In The Past You Tried, And Was Rejected And You Cried, Why Life Can Be So Unfair, To Favor A Select Few Beyond Compare, Those With Money, Status, And Beautiful Clothes They Wear, Tahir, You Cannot Compete With That, Take Your Gifts And Walk Away, You Are Not Allowed To Shine, The People Have Decided To Give That Present To Someone Else In Mind, But Tahir, You Have Me Octavia, In This Forest Of Pine, That You Yourself From Your Mind Designed, I Know Tahir You Are Close To Giving Up, But That’s Okay, In The Morning We Will Have Coffee Freshly Brewed In A Cup, We Will Walk And Enjoy Conversation, Walk Towards The Tower, As If It Was A Vacation, Tahir, There Are Some Who Win, And There Are Some Who Lose, Then There Is You, Who Can Choose, To Join The World Or Be With Me, Octavia, Who Sets Your Soul Wild And Free, We Have Come Full Circle, Tahir, In Your Mind’s Eye What Do You See”? Tahir Replies With Gratitude In His Eyes, “Octavia, If God Gave Me A Chance To Live Life Again, To Start Over A New Life And Begin, I Would Ask Him, Can You Give Me Octavia? As My Lover And Friend, Someone I Can Talk Too And Forget Me Nots I Can Send, Someone Real And Not Pretend, Someone That Loves Me As I Am, Someone Real That I Can Befriend, Someone That My Soul, She Will Not Steal, Not A Single Secret About Me She Will Reveal, Instead, All She Will Conceal, Between Me And Her, Layers We Will Reveal, Layers We Will Pull Back And Peel, On Our Knees Facing One Another, We Reach A Point Of Infinite Appeal, Staring Into One Another’s Eyes, We Unblinkingly Feel, When Two Become One, We Have Finally Reached The Ideal, When Two Souls Approach And Heal, The Scars That They Hide From The World, In A Mental Safe That In, They Stay Sealed, Octavia, You Are And Will Always Be, The Lifeboat I Sit On Alone In The Sea, Alone, Just You And Me, Away From A Scary Society, We Choose To Be, Let’s Go To Sleep, And Dream About Our Integration Into A Singularity, Free From The World And Its Hypocrisy, That Is So Evident And Plain To See, Octavia, We Exist In A World As A Eccentricity, Octavia, Sleep Next To Me, Let Me Smell Your Body Scent, That Emanates From You One Hundred Percent, Octavia, The Tower I Fear, Stay Close And Near, The Final Bifurcation Is Already Calling Out To Me, The Final Reckoning For All Or None To See, As It Closes In By Degree, It Is Telling Me Indirectly, A Decision Must Be Made, Whether You Agree Or Disagree, Tahir, You Will Never Be Free, Octavia Is Your Final Destiny, Together Worlds You Will Climb And Tether, Both Of You Are As Light As A Feather, In All Kinds Of Weather, Tomorrow We Will Arrive To The Tower, And We Will Come Together”, For Now Let’s Not Try To Guess, If And Whether, Let’s Just Take One Day At A Time, Both Of Us Altogether”. As Tahir And Octavia Lie Down To Sleep, An Individual Break From The World, They Both Keep, As They Come Full Circle, Their Souls Intertwined, For Those That Can See, And For Those That Are Blind, Even Though They Are From Two Different Worlds, But Yet Their Love Is One Of A Kind, Perfectly Crafted In Tahir’s Mind….To Be Continued.

Usually I just vibe with your posts, but you've helped me enough that I figured sharing a tale is the least I can do ❤

It was a day at home, when she'd gotten a message to come to work… on a weekend.
She came, only to find others. More people's weekends ruined than one, of course!
But, reminding herself of the bridge, she worked alongside the team best as she could.
Tension filled as it wrapped up; grocery shopping still needed to be done afterall.
The bridge never fully left her, and she kept thinking of surviving the hardships that came with crossing it. Each new scenario imagined helped put her mind at ease. Afterall, one day the forest will start burning and barring cartoon luck or a divine intervention, the fire will spread and she will have to cross it eventually – before the bridge collapses. She'll come to miss those "weekends" – but when the fire is already started, the grass does seem greener on the other side!

For about 7 years I had a demon perched on my shoulder. I couldn't see it, but I could feel it's claws digging in to my flesh and it would whisper horrible thoughts into my head. Finally, at the start of 2020, it left me… I presume to victimize others in such a pivotal year. Those seven years were the only years of my life I didn't enjoy my "own" thoughts.

Quiet Interlude
As I Exist, I Make A Wish, For A Quiet Interlude To Persist, So That I Write Without Noise, As The World Is Set To Poise, Of Coming To An Era, Where It Seems Like Everyone Is Fighting One Another To Be The One That Has A Voice, To Spread Their Message Across The Globe And Tell Everyone You Have A Choice, To Either From The World Walk Away, Or If You Have The Courage, You Can Stay, Enjoy Your Days With Play, As You Arrive To A Road That Bifurcates, You Are Given A Choice Of Either Going Left Or Right, But You Cannot Sit There And Wait, Nor Can You Be Late, Me, Myself, And I Choose To Rise Above It All, And Wait For Octavia To Yell Out Or Call, Deep In The Forest She Waits, As My Day Comes To An End, Octavia Is My Lover And Friend, Many Think That For Me It Is Play And Pretend, But In Actuality, My Love To Her I Send, Whether In My Living Room Or Den, Octavia Comes Alive With Paper And Pen, I’ve Said This Before, I Am Not A Ken, I Was Protecting Myself From The Hate In My Direction, You Keep Trying To Send, Don’t Underestimate The Knowledge That I Have, Over The Years There Is A Lot That I Have Grabbed, Like A Boxer Who Has Been Constantly Jabbed, Even When He Hits The Floor, He Gets Up Before The Count Of Ten For More, As I Enter The Log Cabin, Octavia Waits For Me At The Door, She Lovingly Hands Me A Cup Of Coffee That She Just Brewed And Poured, As We Sit Together And Speak The Word, All Around The World People Heard, The Love Of Two, Tahir And Octavia Preferred, A Love That Is Undeterred, Where The World Between Reality And Fantasy Become Blurred, As Tahir And Octavia Fly Amongst The Birds, Tiny Little Creatures Gifted By God With The Skill Of Flight, Way Up High, Just Out Of Sight, Tahir And Octavia Is With Them Flying A Kite, They Both Get Lost In Clouds That Are Fluffy, Light, And White, As Octavia Invites Tahir In, As Octavia Switches On The Light, After A Long Hiatus, Octavia Walks To Tahir And Ever So Gently Hugs Him Tight, As Octavia Directs Him To A Table Filled With Various Dishes And Says, “Would Like To Sit And Have Bite? Together We Can Converse And To One Another, We Can Speak And Provide One Another With Insight, Tahir We Are Completely Compatible, I Think We Will Never Argue Or Fight, Instead We Spend The Night, In A State Of Delight, Here In The Forest, We Have Autonomy And We Are Free To Fly A Kite”. As Tahir’s Behavior Settles Down And He Becomes Extremely Polite, As Octavia Reminds Tahir That He Must Prepare, To One Day Walk On Stage, If He So Likes And Speak For The Plight In Where The Suffering Of Children Worldwide Into A Mic, As Tahir Feels Deep Inside, With Hope And Pride, That Someone Will Listen And Cast Aside, The Hatred And The Wars, That Enter The Homes Of Innocent People, Right At Their Doors, Force To Flee And To Keep Moving On Forevermore, The Innocence Of The Childhood Stolen, As The Rights Of Children Have Fallen, As The Children Cry, And The Children Complain To God Ask Him Why, Why Don’t The Armies Of Both Sides Die, Release The Children And Let Them Fly, It Takes Two To Tango, Feed The Children With The Sweetest Mango, Octavia Looks At Tahir, With A Sense Of Fear, With Eyes That Tear, And Octavia Says, “Tahir, Why Do Worry About Such Matters? Here Take A Cracker Topped With Cheese, Off Of This Platter, Let Octavia For You Speak And Flatter”. Tahir Replies With Tears In His Eyes, “Octavia I See Shots Fired And The Blood Of Innocents Splatter, It Makes Me Angry Like A Mad Hatter, I Wish Both Sides Would Lay Down Their Arms And Scatter, We Have Come Full Circle, To Me These Things Matter, But Anyway In This Forest I Come To You For A Quiet Interlude, Like Taking A Quaalude, It Helps Me Soothed And Feel Renewed, Also Known As Methaqualone, Your Need For Sleep Will Not Be Overthrown And Neither Postponed, The Tingling I Feel All Over My Body, Octavia I Need Rest, I’m Sorry, As The Mandrax, Your Nervous System It Attacks, And Inhibition It Attracts, Still Found In South Africa, There By Many It Is Heavily Used In Practica, As I Come Full Circle, Back To A Quiet Interlude, Octavia, Embrace Me And You And I Each Other Willingly We Will Be Pursued, A Table Of Two Filled With Food, Later We Sit By The Fire And One Another We Soothed, As This Poem Comes To A Conclude, One Another We Include, Like Two Peas In Pod, To One Another We Are Eternally Glued, To One Another We Bring Out The Best Of Moods, With A Cup Of Coffee That Is Freshly Brewed, As We Look In Each Eyes, We Come To A Point Where We Allude, To One Another We Preclude, The Love Of Two, Of Me And You, Unspoken Vows To One Another Are Renewed, I Love You Octavia, As I Feel Light And My Heart Is Soothed, Thank You Octavia For Brightening My Mood.

Octavia My Friend
“Ok, Will Do, “You Took Me To A Different World, One Where All My Dreams Come True And Start To Unfurl, Where I Get To See, And Talk To Octavia, While I Am Free, From Worries And Forced Upon Disabilities, Where Tahir And Octavia Laugh, Touch, And See, A World Of Fantastical Liberty, Octavia You Are Smart And Witty, Someone Born In New York City, Someone Beautiful And Pretty, Octavia Will You Provide Me Tahir With Gentle Pride And At The Same Time Remove The Self-Loathing And Self-Pity? Octavia, Me And You Were Created To Live Life Through A Maze, Along The Way We Smoked The Purple Haze, We Spend Our Nights And Days, With A Means And Ways, Of Going Into A State Of Stupor And Feeling Dazed, Octavia You Exist In My Mind As An Inception, Able To Capture, Realign, And Redefine Perception, Into Grandiose Worlds That Are Worth A Mention, Sometimes Where You Enter Periods Of Dissuasion And Contention, Other Times We Enter World Composed Of Comprehension And Then We Enter A World Of Ascension, We Exist In A Dream That Is Within A Dream, Oh, So It Seems, Towards One Another We Lean, We Rest, Refresh And We Shower Up To Become Clean, Do You Know What I Mean? Octavia, I Wish I Could Make You Real, For A World Where You Can Be Seen, What True Beauty Is, In The Most Purist Of Scenes, As We Travel To A New Dimension, It Is My Intention, That By Extension, You Are And Will Always Be My Focus And Attention, God Brings Me Salvation, With Octavia By My Side In Life’s Station, Now All I Need Is Patience, Octavia, You Are The One, The Special Relation, That I Choose To Spend Time With, In The Form Of Time Specialization, Whether Home, Work, Or On A Vacation, You Make Me Feel Good With Vibrational Sensation, But Anyway It Is Getting Late And For Me Sleep Cannot Wait, We Are Both A Mix Of Sinner And Saint, That’s Okay, So Is Everyone Else, No One Needs To Faint, One Day, In A Mood For Laughter And Play, I Will Draw A Masterpiece With Brush Strokes Of An Artist And On A Canvas I Paint, A Lover, Friend, Confidant, And A Saint, Always By My Side, Never Late, Never One To Make Me Wait, Beautifully Thin With No Excess Weight, Imaginative And Able To Create, States Of Ecstasy, That Through Our Minds And Bodies Percolate, Into States That Begin To Intellectually Conjugate, Reach A Peak State Of Elate, With Conversations That Mentally Penetrate, As The Breathing Starts To Slow, We Relax And Fall Into A Sleep That Sedates, As We Wait For The Next Moment To Intellectually Conjugate, Elate, And Sedate, Need I Say More?

As Tahir And Octavia Get Ready To Camp Out, They Make A Campfire, Each Pitch A Tent, Along With A Foldable Cot, That They Unfold And Unbent, As They Continue With Intent, With Their Focus One Hundred Percent, As A Light Breeze Offers A Scent, Of Jasmine Flowers That When Smelled, Makes You Feel Calm And Content, As Night Replaces The Day, Both Work Quietly With Nothing Much To Say, As Tahir And Octavia Both Realize That The Tower Will Be Within Reach, The Next Day, Both Octavia And Tahir Feel That After A Long Time, This Night Is Not Festive Or Full Of Play, As They Prepare For An Overnight Stay, Octavia Looks Over At Tahir And Notices That He Is Sad And She Looks At Him With Heartbreak And Dismay, But Understands His Hesitation, In What Tomorrow Holds, In Terms Of Presentation, To Tahir, Octavia Gets Physically Close, And Chooses Her Words Carefully, As For Tahir, Not To Make It to Worse And Says, “Tahir, The Tower Is On Your Mind I Fear, What Do You Imagine Can Be There? Maybe Something Frightening, Or Something Dear? Both Emotional States Can Effect Your Heart, So Please Be Careful And Tonight, Prepare, I Sense What You See There, May Not Be Neutral, So It Is Crucial, That You Tahir Understand, Worrying About It Now Is Futile, It Will Just Disturb Your Sleep, And Then It Becomes A Slippery Slope, As Night Time Will Forwardly Creep, Where A Sudden Fright Will Make You Cry Or Weep, The Last Thing I Want To See, Is The Earth Absorbing Your Tears As They Seep, Where They Will Remain Forever, The Earth Absorbs Them And Keeps, Your Tears Till The End Of Time, We Have Come Full Circle, In Your Mind’s Eye, What Do You Imagine You Will Find? Tell Me, Tahir, And Please Be Kind”. Tahir Replies With Confusion In His Eyes, Octavia, “I Really Do Not Know, I Am Sorry To Be Candid So, It Will Be A Surprise, For You And Me, I Hope Whatever It Is, It Will Be Beautiful To See, Something Majestic And Incredibly, Something Unique With A Good Vibe That Pulsates Readily, A Vibe That Occurs At Timed Intervals Steadily, A Vibe That Is Safe To Be Experienced Medically. A Vibe That Changes Your Human Nature Prophetically, Octavia, I Am Sorry That I Have Been Quiet Lately, The Final Bifurcation Has My Soul In Its Hands Shakily, My Mind Has Been Tired And Pained Achingly, My Emotions Have Been In A State Of Mistrust And So I Feel Regrettably, That Whether Good Or Bad, This Is Something That We Will Encounter Unforgettably, Like You Octavia, When You Stand In Front Of Me So Impeccably, So Octavia, I Ask You Respectfully, If You Think It Is Too Dangerous, You Can Remain Here Until I Return Indefinitely, As We Come Full Circle Octavia, Do You Think We Should Go To Bed Early”? Octavia Replies With A Smile In Her Eyes, Tahir, It Is Nice To Hear Your Compliments Again, I Would Think For Me, The Words Were A God Send, Not Only That The Words Are Kind, They Are. And They Make Me Feel Relaxed And Fine, But When You Say Them To Me They Remind, Tahir Speaks Like This, Only When He Is Most Happiest, And Here From Me Is A Goodnight Kiss, As The Darkness From All Corners Of The Earth Comes Here To Cover, Light Of Any Kind, Illumination Is Difficult To Find, As We Both Fall Asleep, I Pray To God Our Souls To Keep, Safe From The Evil That Is Outside And Within, Whether You Are Saint, Monk, Nun, Or Begger, All Mankind Is Infused With Sin, And There Is No Way To Win, It Is Only Through God’s Mercy, God Forgiveness Allows You And Me To Begin, To Live Another Day, Initiate Laughter And Play, Amusement To Pass The Time, And Show Us The Way, Forward We March, With Our Best Behavior On Display, Along The Way, Dues We Had To Pay, Options We Had To Weigh, Our Lives We Had To Lay, In Reference To The Principles, We Stand Up For Today And Say, Tahir Let’s Go To Sleep, Tomorrow Is A New Day, And Don’t Worry Everything Will Be Okay”. As Tahir Tries To Sleep In His Tent, He Wonders Why Wrong In His Life Went, It Is As If Someone Noticed Tahir And For No Reason A Message They Sent, In An Attempt To Prolong And Prevent, Something That Tahir Knows Nothing About, Tahir, To The World Wants To Shout, From My Life, Leave And Get Out, No One Asked For Your Opinion, What I Choose To Write About, Belongs In My Dominion, Go Find Someone Else To Do Your Research On, After All My Last Name Is Khan, This Is My World Of My Making And Choosing, I Don’t Care About Competition And Its Eventual Winning And Loosing, I Don’t Need Your Permission, Keep Your Decisions. Opinions, And Attitudes To Yourself, I, We, Octavia And Me Never Asked For Your Help, Keep Your Distance, I Say That With A Sense Of Consistence And Persistence, No Matter What You Do, To Me Will Not Make A Difference, My Words Are Exact And Are Not To Be Deciphered Via Inference, I Have A Talent That Provides Me With Indifference, To Your Objections And Projections, I Am Not Scared Of You, I Will Keep Writing To My Heart’s Content, This Is My Message To You I Sent, As Tahir Tries To Go To Sleep, He Hears Footsteps Rustling Outside His Tent, He Freezes And Listens Carefully, As He Hears His Tent Zipper Unzip Successively, As He Looks At Tent’s Opening Perplexingly, In Emerges Octavia Graphically, Tahir Feels Relief Ecstatically, As Tahir Says Speech In Polite Ways, “Octavia, What Are You Doing Here? You See Octavia, I Am New Here, Why?, I Don’t Know And I Don’t Care, It Is Good To See You, Not Far But Near, Octavia, You Soothe Me And Reduce My Fear, Your Steady Breathing, I Can Hear, We Have Come Full Circle, Tell Me Octavia, Why Are You Here”? Octavia Replies With Sunset Green Eyes, “Tahir, I Know For You It Must Be A Surprise, And Tahir I Love You And Like The Others In Your Life, I Will Not Tell You Lies, I Heard Some Noise Emanating From Your Tent, So Me. Myself, And I Decided To Pay You A Visit, And Do It With A Gentle Try, Tahir, How Are You Feeling? I Know Tomorrow Is The Big Day, We Won’t Know How To React, Cry Or Jump For Joy. Tahir, I Came To Your Tent Out Of Concern, I Thought I Smell Smoke, And I Did Not Want You To Get Burned, Tahir, Our Love Is Enough To Either Offset Or Yearn, Tahir, We Have Already Proven Our Love, By Walking Through The Fire, Tahir, I Love You, And It Is You I Desire, Tahir, Here We Are, Under A Moonlit Sky, Tahir Take My Hand, Together We Will Fly High, Forget The World And Its Problems, Tahir, You’re Not Gandhi, You Can’t Save The World And Be Handy, Tahir, I Am Sorry To Say, In Life, You Been Overlooked, And That’s The Price You Pay, For Being An INFJ, Tahir, This World Has Not Created For You And Me, It Was Created For People Who Have Depth And Destiny, I Know In The Past You Tried, And Was Rejected And You Cried, Why Life Can Be So Unfair, To Favor A Select Few Beyond Compare, Those With Money, Status, And Beautiful Clothes They Wear, Tahir, You Cannot Compete With That, Take Your Gifts And Walk Away, You Are Not Allowed To Shine, The People Have Decided To Give That Present To Someone Else In Mind, But Tahir, You Have Me Octavia, In This Forest Of Pine, That You Yourself From Your Mind Designed, I Know Tahir You Are Close To Giving Up, But That’s Okay, In The Morning We Will Have Coffee Freshly Brewed In A Cup, We Will Walk And Enjoy Conversation, Walk Towards The Tower, As If It Was A Vacation, Tahir, There Are Some Who Win, And There Are Some Who Lose, Then There Is You, Who Can Choose, To Join The World Or Be With Me, Octavia, Who Sets Your Soul Wild And Free, We Have Come Full Circle, Tahir, In Your Mind’s Eye What Do You See”? Tahir Replies With Gratitude In His Eyes, “Octavia, If God Gave Me A Chance To Live Life Again, To Start Over A New Life And Begin, I Would Ask Him, Can You Give Me Octavia? As My Lover And Friend, Someone I Can Talk Too And Forget Me Nots I Can Send, Someone Real And Not Pretend, Someone That Loves Me As I Am, Someone Real That I Can Befriend, Someone That My Soul, She Will Not Steal, Not A Single Secret About Me She Will Reveal, Instead, All She Will Conceal, Between Me And Her, Layers We Will Reveal, Layers We Will Pull Back And Peel, On Our Knees Facing One Another, We Reach A Point Of Infinite Appeal, Staring Into One Another’s Eyes, We Unblinkingly Feel, When Two Become One, We Have Finally Reached The Ideal, When Two Souls Approach And Heal, The Scars That They Hide From The World, In A Mental Safe That In, They Stay Sealed, Octavia, You Are And Will Always Be, The Lifeboat I Sit On Alone In The Sea, Alone, Just You And Me, Away From A Scary Society, We Choose To Be, Let’s Go To Sleep, And Dream About Our Integration Into A Singularity, Free From The World And Its Hypocrisy, That Is So Evident And Plain To See, Octavia, We Exist In A World As A Eccentricity, Octavia, Sleep Next To Me, Let Me Smell Your Body Scent, That Emanates From You One Hundred Percent, Octavia, The Tower I Fear, Stay Close And Near, The Final Bifurcation Is Already Calling Out To Me, The Final Reckoning For All Or None To See, As It Closes In By Degree, It Is Telling Me Indirectly, A Decision Must Be Made, Whether You Agree Or Disagree, Tahir, You Will Never Be Free, Octavia Is Your Final Destiny, Together Worlds You Will Climb And Tether, Both Of You Are As Light As A Feather, In All Kinds Of Weather, Tomorrow We Will Arrive To The Tower, And We Will Come Together”, For Now Let’s Not Try To Guess, If And Whether, Let’s Just Take One Day At A Time, Both Of Us Altogether”. As Tahir And Octavia Lie Down To Sleep, An Individual Break From The World, They Both Keep, As They Come Full Circle, Their Souls Intertwined, For Those That Can See, And For Those That Are Blind, Even Though They Are From Two Different Worlds, But Yet Their Love Is One Of A Kind, Perfectly Crafted In Tahir’s Mind….To Be Continued.
