Feeling the groove
Feeling life's beat
Feeling the flow
Feeling like I have to move
Feeling it in my toes
Feeling it my soul
Feeling like I just want to let go
Let go of the world
Hold on to the beat
My feet hit the street
Moving in unison
The beat of the street
Resounding in me
I can feel the flow
The flow of life
Moving through my veins
Flowing in my heart
Beating and throbbing
I feel the bass
The bass of the world
The people
Everything around me
Coalescing into one beat
Moving me as I run
As my soul runs a
To the sound of the drums
Ahmad Cox Sep 2012
Even though
You are only 12
You have the wisdom
And soul
Of someone
Who has
Experienced
A lot in life
I saw who
You were
Even when
You couldn't
I love you
Like a sister
And I will
Continue
To love
And to guide
You
Constantly
Watching
Over you
And helping
You along
Your way
I can't wait
To see the
Wonderful
And beautiful
Woman
I know
You will
Turn out
To be
In the
Meantime
Keep that
Wonderful
Beautiful
And sweet
Spirit that
You have
Don't let
Anyone
Take that
Away
I will be
Watching
And praying
And hoping
That all of
Your dreams
Come true
From me to you
Ahmad Cox Aug 2012
Sometimes
People have
That inner halo
Shining light
For all to see
Shining their love
Warming our hearts
Showing us love
When we need it the most
Changing us
Changing our hearts
Changing ourselves
To better
Brighter
Versions
Of ourselves
Learning how to love
Learning
How to accept ourselves
How to accept life
Moving with love
Showing mercy
And kindness
To everyone
They meet
Ahmad Cox May 2012
I want people to know
That happiness
Is only a smile away
Putting away your fears
And learning to smile
Filling your heart with peace
Filling your heart with joy
And learning to love
In creative ways
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
Happiness comes from deep inside
Being content with yourself
Being content with where you are
Living in the moment
And choosing to be free
Ahmad Cox Sep 2012
There is enough hate
And pain in the world
We need to start
Thinking
A little more
About love
Learning
How to spread it
Learning
How to let love
Fill and guide you
Until hate and pain
Become a distant memory
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
People can be a headache sometimes
Sometimes I just want to smack some people
There are some people out there
That I makes me question
If people really have any good sense anymore
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
I feel your heart beat
I know you are out there
I can feel you
I know you are there
Waiting and watching
Ever close
So near
So near I can almost feel you there
Slowly but surely growing
Each and every day
I feel you nearer to me
Closer in my heart
I know you are there
And I know you are watching
And I know you can feel me too
This poem isn't about anyone in particular. I just feel the need to write it. Who knows? I might be foretelling a future connection with someone.
Ahmad Cox May 2012
Heartfelt feelings
Can spring up
From our souls
Overwhelming us
With emotions
That seem to
Spring from no where
They can be feelings of love
Feeling of peace
Feeling of strength
Even feelings
Of hate
And despair
But its these
Heartfelt feelings
That less us know
That we are still alive
Still feeling
No matter what
That feeling
Happens to be
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
Heaven is around us
We just have to look
Inside ourselves
Ahmad Cox Jan 2012
Hell is a place in our heart
Where we are farthest away from God
Where every waking moment
Is devoid of love and compassion
We create our own heaven
Just as much as we create our own hell
Our hearts tell our fate
We live inside of our hearts
And God knows the hearts of all of his children
Our souls tell our story
Our souls tell our paths
Of the body and the mind
We all can give in to that darker self
The demon in us all
That inner demon that tears away at our hearts
That keeps us from truly seeing ourselves
As God sees all of his children
That keeps us farther away from the truth
Living in lies
Living in hate
Fooling ourselves into thinking
We are more important
Then other people
Or even God himself
But God sees all of his children
He knows all of our hearts
But he also knows that
None of us are ever too far
To give up on
And we are never more
Then a couple steps away from heaven
From the cleansing and healing
When we accept ourselves for who we really are
And stop listening to the world
And start listening to our hearts
And following our souls
And following our true calling in life
We all live in heaven or hell
Inside of our minds
And inside of our hearts
Its just depends
On which way you look at it
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
When I think of heaven
I don't think of some angry God pointing down
Spitting out rules and regulations
Condemning people's souls to hell
Love rules everything
There is a little God
And a little heaven in all of us
Even the greatest sinner
Still has a little piece
We live
We die
We move on
We grow
We have to be willing
To accept the God in everyone
And love everyone accordingly
Or else we are limiting our view of God
And ultimately limiting our view of heaven.
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
Hello
How are you doing?
I see you there
I can see that you are hiding
I can see that you are peeking out
Are you lost?
Where is your home?
What's your name?
Where are you from?
Do you know yourself?
And how did you end up here?
I think we ask ourselves
These questions all the time
Sometimes its easy to get lost
Sometimes we just need to be reminded
That we are never too far from home
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
God help us
Mother sustain us
Father come
Spirit descend
Come and rain your love down
Rain it on the world
So that we might all see
Just how lovely
Beautiful
Wonderful we really are
And start loving and each other
As much as you love every single one of us
Ahmad Cox Jul 2012
Its good to be helpful
Its nice to give back
Whenever you can
Sometimes being a little helpful
Can mean the difference
In someone else's day
Sometimes something as simple
As sharing a little time
A little extra energy
Taking that little extra effort
To be a little more helpful
Can have huge effects
For the people
Who are receiving your kindness
And who you are being helpful to
Ahmad Cox Sep 2012
When every one else
looked down on me
God saw the best I could be
God saw the wonderful potentail
That lay inside
No matter what anyone says
God sees you
He knows your hurt and pain
He sees you
The real you
You just have to see it
For yourself
Ahmad Cox Dec 2012
In life
We can
Hesitate
Not knowing
Which way
We are going
Feeling lost
Not knowing
If we should go
Right or left
Making decisions
In general
Having a hard
Time even
Moving
Forward
Not knowing
Being stuck in
Fear of knowing
That they might
Not know
What is going on
Sometimes
You have to learn
To trust in the moment
Trust that things
Will turn out ok
Trust in the chaos
Taking time
To learn from
Every experience
Even if life might
Seem uncertain
Even though fear
Can grip our hearts
In hesitation and
Indecision
We have to be
Willing to step
Forward
As long
As you
Are moving
Moving
Forward
Taking
That extra
Step
Allowing
Yourself
To soar
To fly
Above
Everything
Living life
In the moment
Instead of
Living in fear
And hesitation
Ahmad Cox Dec 2012
Even though
Our bodies
Are apart
Our pure
Connection
Takes me
Higher
Than I
Might
Have
Conjured
Floating
Along as
We soar
Together
Connected
As one in bliss
Bliss of spirit
Healing light
Pouring forth
From our
Very souls
As we
Connect
Deeper
In God
And
Deeper
Flying
Higher
In bliss
As we
Kiss the
Sky
Soaring
Moving
Along as
Our wings
And souls
Unite as one
I feel you
I know you
Are there
I know you
Are in my
Heart and
I know
That you
Were
Heaven
Sent
You
Are
My
Angel
Here on
Earth and
I thank God
Every day
That he blessed
Me with you
Ahmad Cox Oct 2012
Life is a highway
We just have to keep moving
Making our way home
Ahmad Cox Jun 2013
History can be a mystery
It can be what defines us
Or it can be what we try
To hide when we look at
Our lives and we realize
Our history makes up a
Little more of us than we
Would like to pretend but
Ultimately you have to
Accept your history so
It wont be a mystery and
You can move forward
With clarity in your
Life and understanding
That your journey is
Not as confusing or
As complicated as
We make it out
Ahmad Cox Aug 2012
Hold on
Hope is coming
Hold on
The sun is coming
Waiting to shine its light
Hold on
The world
Isn't as crazy
Or as cruel
as you might think
Hold on
Help is on the way
Don't give up
Even in your trials
Hold on
Life is always
Worth living
If you just hold on
Ahmad Cox Aug 2012
There is a hole
In everyone
We all need God
Ahmad Cox Sep 2012
Holiness is what
I long for
Holiness
Is what my heart
Cries out for
In the night
My heart
My soul
Wants to be
Whole
Completely
Connected
But the world
Has a way
Of dragging
Me back
Dragging me down
Down to the world
To the muck
And the mire
But even among
The troubles
And the trials
There is still beauty
Even in the storms
Life is holy
Every life
Carries that holy flame
That fire that flows
Every thing is holy
Every thing comes
From God
Every thing
That makes us
Every thing
Thats inside of us
Comes from God
All life is holy
In some way
Every thing breathes
The secret of God
In every second
In every action
God is there
Sharing his love
And holiness
To every one
And every thing
That recognizes him
And accepts the healing
Love
Mercy
Holiness
That comes
From accepting
The holiness
Inside yourself
And every one
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
There are some people that are hollow
They have taken away so much of themselves
That there is nothing left
Nothing but a hollow shell
Artificial
Not knowing what it truly means to be real
If their lives depended on it
Ahmad Cox Jul 2011
These people here today
They need a place to stay
They have nowhere to go
Nowhere to call their home
And so we must pray
That they will find a way
Back home
Back home
They'll find a way back home
Back home
Back home
A place where they can be
Back home
Back home
A place where they can be
Free
Free
Free
I know they cant find a home
And so they'll always roam
Away from where you are
They'll roam ever far
So that's why we must pray
That they will find a way
Back home
Back home
They'll find their way back home
Back home
Back home
A place where they can be
Back home
Back home
A place where they can be
Free
Free
Free
There's a sun in the sky
There's a moon up above
And yet we all find ways
To deny God's love
Moving ever far
Moving ever away
From our home in the sky
With this home filled with love
So we must be willing to
Find our way back home
Because if we don't
We will stay alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
We must find a way
For our hearts to stay
So that they will never roam
And we can find a home
Back home
Back home
We'll find a way back home
Back home
Back home
A place where we can be
Back home
Back home
A place where we can be
Free
Free
Free
Free
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
There is a trinket
A treasure that we all have
Just waiting to spring
We have a treasure inside of ourselves
That not many people find
Some people spend their whole lives
Searching for that one thing
That everyone has
It's in the heart of a child
It's locked away
Just waiting to be found
Just waiting to be accessed
When the world starts to turn on us
When it seems like things
Are not quite going as planned
When we have to make it through the storm
And when we feel like life
Just keeps throwing one curve ball
After another
It's hope
We all have the ability to hope
To dream
And to love
With hope we can get through anything
It gives you the strength
To carry on in even the darkest times
We must be willing to find that hope
That lies dormant within all of us
Or we will inevitably get lost
Losing ourselves more and more
To an unrelenting world
It can be easy to lose sight of who we are
It can be even easier to lose hope altogether
But if we hold onto hope
If we keep it in our grasp
We can move mountains
And do great things
That we might not have thought
We were capable of
Ahmad Cox Dec 2012
Little hummingbird
I see you fly
Magical and free
Your flight
Is a true mystery
You fly and zip
Truly magical
Is your flight
A miracle wrapped up
In a little package
You hum along
Buzzing through life
Reminding us
Of what it means
To fly and to soar
And to zip along life
You are beautiful
Little hummingbird
Show us your grace
And your spirit
And your joy
At a glance you
Are there
Then just
As soon
As you come
You disappear
Again
As miraculous
And mysterious
As you entered
Ahmad Cox Aug 2012
I am who I am
No more
No less
I am who I am
I make no
Excuses
For the person
I am
I am me
There is no one
In the whole
Wide world
Who is like me
There is no one
Like you
You are you
There is no one
In the world
Like you
Never make excuses
For who you are
For the person
You are inside
You are an individual
There is no one
Who can be like you
There is no one
Who can change you
But yourself
You must be able
To be you
To love you
To know you
So that you can know me
To know myself
Is to know everything else
To know yourself
Is to know everything else
Reaching inside
Reaching the oneness
That connects us all
Together
When we get to that point
You realize I am me
You are you
We are individuals
Yet we share the same heart
Beating individually
But all at once
Ahmad Cox May 2012
Even after everything
You have been through
You can look inside of yourself
And truly say
I am whole now
I know who I am
I love and accept myself
I know my worth
I can accept who I am
I love myself
And whoever you are
Out there in the world
Who is sitting out there
Without love
Without hope
I have enough love
And enough hope
To spare
Ahmad Cox Dec 2012
I believe that people
Aren't as bad as we
Make them to be
I believe that the world
Is more beautiful than
We give it credit for
Our planet is a wonder
To behold full of grace
And power if you know
Where to look
I believe that no one
Should ever have to
Go hungry or have to
Fend for themselves in
The cold while others
Continue to allow
These people to sit
In the cold without
A name or existence
While they continue
To take from them
And keep them down
I believe that we should
Be protecting our children
Instead of abusing them
Children should be protected
They are our precious future
And we should be protecting
Them from the evils of the world
Children are born pure
And innocent and unaware
Of the world and what is in it
We need to be more careful
Of the world we are creating
For the children of today or
Else we will reap the
Consequences of our actions
We are already starting to see
This very thing unfold
In front of our eyes
We need to be more
Aware of the messages
We are sending our children
And be more active in
Protecting them
Instead of allowing
Them to fall
By the wayside
I believe that
We need to come
Together we can't
Do with all of these
Divisions that are
Among us that
Are ultimately
Tearing us apart
Day by Day people
Are being killed
And destroyed
For their differences
And for their
Beliefs and people
Are ostracizing each
Other and leaving
People out in the rain
We have to be willing
To look past our superficial
Differences and understand
The great beauty and
Diversity that is on this
Planet and understanding
That even with all of our
Differences we all have
Our place to share on
This crazy blue ball
We call home
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
I can feel your hurt
I know that you are in pain
Don't worry
I am here
I know you are there
Standing in the dark
Even if you are not aware
I feel your pain
Whoever you are
Out there in the dark
Come back to yourself
It's never too late to step back
And to look at yourself
And where you are going
And accept yourself
And accept who you are
To move past the hurt
To move on
And more importantly
To move past the barriers that tell you
You aren't worth helping
Ignoring the pain
Alienating yourself
And ultimately shielding yourself
From everyone else around you.
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
Every once in a while
I forget myself
I forget where I have been
And what I have been through
To get me where I am
I think its very easy
Every once in a while
To forget just how far we have come
Just how much we have grown
And just how hard we have strived
To make it to where we are right now
Ahmad Cox Nov 2012
I give my heart to you
I know you are there
Waiting in the dark
Even as crazy as the world is
I feel your spirit inside me
Guiding and influencing me
No matter what people might say
Or what people might think
I know your spirit is real
I know you are in my heart
Shining out and healing me along the way
Giving me the light and the love
To show to a world that is in the dark
Being a beacon of light and hope
To the people of the world
And the people around me
I thank you for allowing me to be
Your vessle for love and light
Allowing me to offer love
Through me from you
Even through everything
I have been through
I know you are real
And guiding my steps
That's why I will continue
To give myself to you
Feeling your heart
And your love shaping in me
A little more day by day
Ahmad Cox Sep 2016
I don't believe that any body on this site is aware of my recent diagnosis of Huntington Disease and I wanted to get the chance to let  all of you guys know and even though it has been a while since I have written anything new I still wanted to share it with you guys. I will let you guys know more as things progress but if you have any questions to ask about it just shoot me a message in this post and I will try to answer them as honestly as possible. I have come to enjoy your poetry and I have appreciated any positive comments you have left on my poetry too so I at least wanted to give you guys the heads up about it and where I am at with it.
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
There are some things in this world
That can't be explained
Life's little inconsistencies
That seems to plague us
Sometimes it can feel like
The world is upside down
It can get easy to get caught up
Living in inconsistencies
Moving away from the reality
Living our lives backwards
Not really understanding
Exactly where we are supposed to be
But when you start to line yourself up
And once you start to understand
That life shouldn't be forfeit for pride
For greed
For power
For personal gain
Out of anger
Out of fear
Out of ignorance
People are living lost
Moving backwards
From where they should be
Harming themselves
And often others in the process
But we must learn to live in reality
And step away from the inconsistencies
That cloud us from where we should be
Ahmad Cox May 2012
We are all influenced
In different ways
Whether they be subtle
Or whether they are blatant
Leaving permanent changes
We are all subject
To the influences
That make up who we are
Ahmad Cox Jan 2012
In my corner
In my head
There is this voice
This guiding force
This inner knowing
That leads me through the storm
There is this sense that I have
That things are going to get better
I don't know how
I don't know why
I just know that things have to start getting better
Before they start getting much worst
And there is this overall feeling
That life is moving
Where things are headed
I can't quite say
The only thing I can say
Is that as long as life is moving
Continuing to move forward
Then things are how they are supposed to be
Its when things are stagnant
And static
When you have to start worrying
Ahmad Cox Jun 2012
The inner goddess
Lies in us all
Connecting
Us to the Earth
Connecting
Us
With ourselves
Connecting us
To that loving
Caring
Warmth
That intuitive knowledge
Connecting to the spiritual
Connecting to the sensual
Feeling our bodies
Feeling our space
Becoming more open
Truly feeling the love
And the grace
And the warmth
That our mother
Bestows upon all her children
She loves us all
She is willing
To share a little love
With everyone
All you have to do
Is acknowledge her
And the wonderful
Beautiful
And mysterious world
That we all live in
Ahmad Cox Jan 2013
I can feel your heart
And I can feel your
Pain and I can feel
Your sorrow that
Is coming through

But I can also feel
Your joy and your
Light and your
Strength bubbling
Underneath the
Surface of your
Heart and soul

I can feel your
Inner heart and
I know there is
A light you don't
Quite see yet but
Is waiting to unleash
Its beauty and light
All the same inside

All you have to
Do is unlock the
Key inside of yourself
And you will begin to
See slowly but surely
You are much stronger
And much more
Beautiful and whole
Than you could ever
Imagine possible

This is for all of the
People of the world
That are trying to
Find their light and
Their heart at the end
Of the day when it
Seems like your world
Has fallen apart and

When it seems like
The darkness just
Keeps creeping in
And when it feels
Like things just
Keep getting more
Out of hand know

There is that inner
Light and strength
And peace that can
Come from looking
In your inner heart
And seeing the beauty
That lies inside of you
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
Sometimes I wonder
If I am going crazy
There are sometimes
When I wonder
If I am truly insane
And if everyone else around me
Is actually sane
It seems more often than not
The things and the ideas that I express
Don't really seem to follow
The general rules
I know that there are some people
Who seem to agree with what I say sometimes
But a lot of what I think
Is just a jumbled mess of words
Coming together in my poetry
Sometimes I wonder
If I am going out of my mind
But then again maybe everyone is crazy
And I am the one that is insane
But they say that the true sign of insanity
Is not being able to realize you are insane in the first place
I was feeling in a silly mood when I wrote this poem.
Ahmad Cox Dec 2012
We must be willing
To go inside of our
Minds and go inside

Our hearts if we truly
Want to be free from
The world and its

Constant chatter
And turmoil
We must be

Willing to be
Honest with
Ourselves

And truly seeing
What is inside of
Us to truly set

Ourselves free
Setting free the
Insanity that

Seems to plague
So many people
Today in this world

We are falling
Ever deeper into
The chasm of

Destruction that
We seem to be
Dangling over

We need to go
Inside and truly
Seek the truth

And seek the
Truth and the
Light that is

Already there
In our hearts
And in our

Minds if we
Know how
To look inside
Ahmad Cox Feb 2014
In spirit there is the divine
Connecting us to God
Connecting us to the angels
Connecting us to our
Feminine source of healing
All wrapped into one the
As we breathe in life and love
As our bodies begin to take in
And understand the great
Mystery of life we begin to
See the beautiful divinity
That lies in you and that
Lies in me as we seek and
Soar for the greatest heights
Of love as our hearts melt to
The sound of the universe as
We call out in grace and
Mercy and we understand
That everything has a spirit
And should be honored and
Seen as the wonderful and
Beautiful creation that it is
And when you can see the
Spirit and divinity in
Everything and everyone
You can begin to connect
In healing ways with the
Divine and God and
Our mother and spirit
And the angels and the
Life here on Earth and
Everything in between
Ahmad Cox May 2012
It can be hard
To stay interested
It can be hard
To really care about things
That seem so inconsequential
It can be easy sometimes
To want to disconnect
To just pretend that we aren't interested
But its the inconsequential things
That we don't pay attention to
That can trip us up the most
Ahmad Cox Nov 2013
Interlacing stories
Interlacing fates
Running together
Through space
And through

Time as we
Weave our
Stories and
Thoughts

We find that
We are more
Connected

By fate and
By time than

We can imagine
Ahmad Cox May 2012
We can find ourselves
Out in the cold
Its easy to get stuck
Staying outside
Stuck in the cold
Our hearts freezing
Chilling ourselves
Chilling our hearts
Staying stuck out alone
Stuck out without any warmth
Or light to bring you back inside
And to warm your heart
Ahmad Cox Jun 2012
Getting caught in the mix
Is easy to do
It can get easy
To get caught
We so easily
Listen to the world
Getting caught in the game
Getting caught in the things
That can get us caught the most
We tend to fall backwards
Falling deeper and deeper
Continuing to fill the void
Getting caught in the game
Without a clue
How to get out
We all have a hole
That needs to be filled
We all need to be whole
And to feel whole
To find our place
Letting go of what holds us
Whatever it is
That holds us in place
That keeps us stuck
Caught in the game
We all have a want
To be loved
Once you fill that hole
Inside of yourself
You can start to
To spread it to others
Filling your heart
A little more as you go along
Letting go of whatever
Holds you down
And setting your soul free
Free to soar
To soar above the trials
To soar above the world
Spreading your wings
And flying along
The winds of change
Spreading love to
All who might need
A little extra too
Freeing those
Who are still caught
Ahmad Cox Apr 2012
Little green men
Have invaded our television
Visions of aliens from mars
Instead of sugar plums
Dance through our head
Threatening our sanity
Causing hysteria
There are little green men
On the television
Sometimes I think all of those crazy politicians
And officials might be little green men themselves
Disguised as humans
To hide their existence
But I shouldn't think too loudly
The little green men might come after me.
I felt like writing a more whimsical piece on alien hysteria
Ahmad Cox Jun 2012
In your eyes
You learn
Everything
You will ever
Need to know
In your eyes
Are the keys
To eternity
That eternal spark
Burning through
Shining in the dark
Shining through
If we know where to look
Ahmad Cox Aug 2012
I see life
In your eyes
I see truth
Hidden there
I see love
Written
All over
Your face
I can see you
I know you
Are there
Watching
Knowing
Talking to me
Comforting me
Guiding me
As I move
Through life
Ahmad Cox Sep 2012
I speak life
To the people
On the earth.
I speak life
To the people
Through their trials
I speak life
To the people
In the dark
The people
On the brink
Who are hurting
Everyone
Who is hurting
Who is lost
Lost in their souls
Captive to their minds
I speak life
And healing
Light and strength
To all who need it
You can make it
We need each other
I speak life into
Your soul
You are too
Important
Too lovely
Too beautiful
