WE’RE MADE OF LOVE

By Adeeba Arshad

Identifies with the nation of Pakistan

When the sun blooms after a rainy hour and you smell the pakora,

The sound of oil grizzle through the wind,

Your mom calls you in case they get cold

When you eat the fruits and say they're so sweet

And next day you see the basket of them

Laying on the ground waiting for your glimpse

When you call your friend and say you won't be there

And next day you find your friend didn't go

When you wait for the clock, to strike a certain 12,

And your friends write notes in the classes you didn't went

And you share all the food in the name of I'm too full

And they hit you with a message if you made it home.

And your bench has been saved before you even came

And whatever they all saw, it reminded them of you

Love is the sweetest liquid poured down

Bees went for it but then settled for honey.

It travels the seven seas in the boat of beloved

And the divine searched for it in all the buds of souls;

The songs heard by wanderers

Enchanted by nightingale

Saints thirst for it

And devils have quite lost it

The rose went for being red

It's all in the name of love.

Adeeba Arshad is a 19 year old student currently studying psychology. She has had a knack of writing since she was 10. At the age of 15, she went through a lot of changes in her life and whenever she couldn't hold all that she felt, she wrote it down. That habit became a hobby and whoever read it, suggested sharing it. She made an Instagram account solely to share her writings and now she's happy doing so. Probably someone who reads and thinks way too much and ends up writing to get rid of what she thought. A lover of Russian classics and chess. You can probably talk to her over anything as long as it's not surface level.
