I do regard the sky often, wishing upon a shooting star
My name is Aisha Bibi, I am a full time A level student, studying Sociology, Geography and religious studies. Am 17 years old and like to think that I have a lot of extraordinary life experiences.
Romantism
He has me caged in a sanctimonious romantism
By which a dwindled hope, became a beacon of light
By which I barefaced crave, to be the nostalgic character
Whom he voluptuously gazes at
But I know she couldn’t be me
For I am attainable, so not the one he’s looking for
And not the unattainable like his love, he so loves the unattainable
I do regard the sky often, wishing upon a shooting star
That thou he isn’t mine
Someday in my dream his voluptuous gaze, might free me from this cage
So together we can rescue the goldmine wrecked ship
In which he sails away, treasuring her
And I will treasure the voluptuous gaze
While regarding the sky
So, I can wish upon the next shooting star
–Aisha Bibi
