PHOENIX100: EULOGY TO MY AUNT

CRYSTAL
First of her kind, first of her name, first of her star
Best of her presence, best of her being, best of her line

Only of her kindness, only of her ability, only of her worth

You were issued forth when I was still with God
You set my foot on the glorious path, you became my hope
You envisaged the geometry of my future then opted an unequaled shape

Then... you left for our origin
My facade became clear as desert
Just me and land with every degree being an itinerary

Here now, a wound in my heart that will never heal
All my respect for death went down the drain
If it would take you now then I honor it no more

Million words to my hears, thousand hands on my shoulders
Shall fail to infix an atom of relief to my heart
It aches like embers in my cranium, so much anguish!

A big star hath pulled up stakes bequeathing a vacuous sky
Filled is the lacuna but with uncongenial entities
When shalth there again be in extancy, this priceless crystal?!

Before you Oh Allah, I kneel in tears
In thy infinite mercy such which held humanity in place till date
For thy love for thine favorite messenger, Muhammad صلى الله علىه وسلم
Forgive BALQEES SALAHDEEN-FOWOMOLA and grant her Jannah Firdaus
