I woke up this morning and my name flashed on T.V.
They said i blew up places , they said i killed masses .
Men , women & children I murdered them all.
Who am I ?
I am a muslim and i am taking this fall.
They used my name and spread the terror.
I am not them , it surely is an error.
We, muslims, are the holders of peace , we spread love.
Why am I being  represented by their false actions.
I am a person, with different notions.
World will now brand me a terrorist.
Don't judge me by their actions , I insist.
I am not them, they pilfered my name.
They inflicted libel , and my religion to defame .
I have been robbed , robbed of my name.
I am a muslim , human like you , all the same.
My name has been robbed , my identity stolen
I deprecate the terror and mourn for fallen.
There are millions like me and humanity lies in our depths.
But we are all victims of Identity Theft* ...............
We Muslims condemn  the Paris attack.

dating a writer
is like guessing the weather.
you think you know what you'll get,
but you never do.

you never know
because

she'll create a hero
from your weaknesses

and she'll write a great character,
from every last flaw.

she'll create a thousand plots  
from your worst nightmares.

she'll take every last thing you hate
and create something you'll love.

she'll turn your anger
into confessions of adoration,

and she'll make you,
everything you're not.

but worst of all,
she'll leave you wondering-
is it you she's in love with,
or things she's created from you?

but here's the beauty of it:

if you date a writer,
you'll never die.
You are my coffee
Not just in the morning
You keep me awake even at night
With thought of you that's never ending
Thank you for chosing this piece for the Daily.  This is my first so I am so happy, grateful and more inspired to write.

and
i don't know
if this is me
just overreacting,
but
the only reason it scares me
when the wind causes my bedroom door to slam shut,
is because
i'm deeply afraid
that
i'll get used to the sound of people leaving.
MONTANA
  
Stripped like a ***** all
your ore gone Big Sky
Way to cold in summertime
  
2.  ARIZONA
  
Grand Canyon Station
A great place to relax
for native New Yorkers
  
3.  UTAH
  
The great lake's surrounded
Now you still can't swim
in it.  Tabernacle Choir
  
4.  MISSISSIPPI
  
With your gulf coast taxi's
dancing at casinos
Still the ugliest
  
5.  TEXAS
  
Big Country, No little
Men.  Women get you hooked
on "Hi, have we met".
  
6.  GEORGIA
  
Took a trip down nine
Tee-Five.  Think it was
Three-A saying hi to Dave
  
7.  SOUTH CAROLINA
  
Columbia runs through
Gamecock town.  The sheriff,
he wants to know your name
  
8.  NORTH CAROLINA
  
Tearing down mountains
to build townhouses
you are lousy, just like me

9.  WASHINGTON D. C.
  
On the drive down here
A native shot at me
I rolled up the window
  
10.  PITTSBURGH
You ***** old city
There is a shark that swims
In one of your three rivers
  
11.  SCOTTY'S CASTLE
  
In the deadliest
of valleys.  An oasis
appears as heaven
  
12.  NEW MEXICO
  
The seniors there cross
the border.  They're earning
prescription drug money

Time disappears,
the hours, the days
Lost in the shadows,
a sundial haze

Seizing the moments
our memories trace
Drawing the curtain,
these thoughts to erase

Still I ignore
every clock on the wall
Each ticking second,
the minutes that fall

For all I see
is the beautiful view
Of every new day
I am starting with you
