Its that time
That time of the year
Blessed time
A time to appreciate our blessings

No water , No Food
During this Time
No bad habits
at this time.

We learn to empathize
during this time
with those less fortunate
during this blessed time.
Its the Month of Ramadan for Muslims around the world. As a kid it was just a challenge for me to wait without eating and drinking. But now as I get older, i understand much more and have learnt to count my blessings no matter how small they seem.

Why are they staring?
Don't they know?
That's its not right,
It isn't polite.

Their heads turn,
Following the path we take
Their eyes unblinking,
Then starts the whispering.

Your in pain.
Tears stream down your cheeks.
My heart aches
As I follow in your wake.

Such a wonderful girl,
Beautiful and Tall.
That's who you have always been
Since we were fourteen.

Now the pain has taken over.
Making you fragile
Sitting askew
Praying that you will pull through.
A friend of mine was really sick recently.. And watching her suffer in pain was quite disturbing to me. She has always been so full of vigour and i composed the poem when i took her to the hospital. She has now recovered by the grace of god. So i felt i can post it now.

Eyes drooping
A heavy heart
A throbbing pain that
Cannot be explained.

That's what loneliness is.

Depression
Unhappiness
A hollow ache
Deep within our soul.

That's what loneliness is.

It engulfs you
Drowns you whole
***** out any joy
You may feel

That's what loneliness is

Together, we smile,
Alone, we cry,
Emotions we file,
Away from those who pry.

Heavy Heart,
A lump in the throat,
Becomes a part,
Of life,that's unsought.

Betrayal
Hurt
And Confusion

This wasn't what I wanted,
This isn't what I hoped for
This wasn't my intention

Sadness
Guilt
And a heavy heart

Is all that remains....

Just know

That I'm still the same
That I love you
That you mean the world

Despite everything.

Just know

I never meant to hurt you
I just fell in love
With a good man.

I'm sorry

That you don't approve
Just as society does not.

I'm sorry
I cannot marry someone I don't love

You are my path
And my destination
That's all I have
Running through my mind.

Past all the wrath
Fighting misconceptions
Surmounting obstacles
Despite being maligned.

You are my path
And my destination
Through any tribulation.

Into the background, she fades
It's her personality, they raid
A Muslim girl should not be
A Muslim cannot be free
they said

A Muslim Girl cannot dream!
Prim and Proper she must always seem.
She cannot love
Must only follow God above
they said

Her spirit they broke
her life they considered a joke
she walked away from life
her throat slit with a knife
all because of the things they said.
This poem is not a reflection of Muslims or their community. The poet acknowledges and is well aware that Islam is a religion of peace.
