If I were to be gifted, With bounties of superman. Super sight, super strength super everything! Freedom and the rare ability to fly, I'd accomplish oh so many things. It probably won't be any worth to it Because it was so easy. I gained without the love of procuring. I accomplished accomplishments, Without the batting of my eyes. Without the pout of my lips. I achieved this world, At my knees free of any hurdles. Yet it isn't worth any of my super. Maybe that's why we are all created equal. And no one superior than the other. So we treat one another with equality And join to accomplish wonders, With each others at our sides. Free of cruelty and envy. Free of regret and jealousy. Free of guilt and hopelessness. Maybe that's why we are humans, And humans were created weak.

Close your eyes and open your heart, Can you hear the silence! Can you see the darkness! Be grateful for the little things you have in life, For all our lives are full of bounties and blessings.. Mingling with other people from different backgrounds and Ethnicities inspired me and made me wondering in the deepest meanings of life Allah created us for one aim which is to worship Him alone.. He empowered us with all the tools that would help us to achieve life's goal The holy Quran will heal your heart and the sunnah of our prophet Muhammed PBUH will enlighten your path.. A letter to one's self.. Thank you is the least word I can utter to express my gratitude for you my lord You created me out of love before I was nothing, You gave me everything.. From the beauty to the health and wealth The eyes, ears, hands, legs and heart :") A muslim family that helped me through, The Arabic language that allows me to enjoy Quran,   You made me walk through your path to discover your light Thank you for the awakening moments you granted me Thank you for the air I breath the beauty I see and the food I eat Thank you for the birds and trees For the water and leaves For the seasons and planets For the sun and the moon The clouds and the sky If I ever start I can never count all the blessings you granted me It is really important to step back on your life and start thinking and Talking to your self To give your soul the boost to continue this life To empower your faith and renew your tawakul (reliance on Allah) I felt the need to cry when I attended today's speech by one of the sisters She spoke about how insan needs to always rely on his Lord Yeah sometimes you really get confused in the realms of life and you forget all the bounties that you've been blessed with Shaytan comes to you  and start whispering that you always need more.. It's okay to always need more because Allah loves when his servants pray to him and asks from him, But this doesn't mean to forget all what you've been blessed with It's really important to specify an hour each morning to reflect upon your life and to thank Allah for every single moment you have Allah has created you out of love, You are a unique version of your self Nobody is completely like you You are you and you should love yourself because Allah wants you to be like that.. All praise is to Allah!

we are waves crashing we are strength and beauty combined for every time that we chance upon the shore, we end up going a few steps back falling farther away from land taking us deeper into unseen depths where what lies beyond is uncertainty you should be the sand while i should be the water that imprints patterns along your body or i should be the air taking you to endless streams where we could be whirlwinds gathering up bounties for our flawed existence but we are waves crashing and even if the sun becomes too extreme or the shore is too far from reach i won’t get tired of falling in and out with you even in midnight summer dreams.

To say the darkness Does indeed Dwell inside of me Becomes the pride of me Would underscore The fact That the madman’s eyes Loosens my lunatic tongue The scowling beast His drooling jowls The anguished cries How he howls The hunger Left unsated The feast For which he waited The beast will have his Ways with Life and all of her bounties And then what lies within Will settle once again The foaming mouth will pass The hunger is not meant to last And I will be me Once more

I don't understand Thanksgiving I don't understand it at all Instead of giving thanks for things We sit and watch football Americans give thanks each year For the bounties in their life Like freedom, food and housing A loving family, little strife But, in Canada, it's different We give thanks, slightly the same But, ours is a holiday from politicians It's not held the day we came We watch football, and eat turkey Gorge ourselves and fall asleep Leaving dishes till tomorrow We know the mess will keep but, if Thanksgiving has true meaning And we give thanks, I want to know Who are we truly thanking really Is it God ? I need to know Are we thanking God for loving us Even though he can't be seen Do we thank ourselves for what we've earned It's not as easy as it seems I mean, really when it comes down to it What is Thanksgiving truly for? Is it to gorge ourselves on turkey So we can watch football some more It's not something that I'm fond of It's a day off work, that's all I'm thankful for my bounty But, I don't know who to call To tell that I am thankful I'm a transplant here you see I don't understand Thanksgiving It don't mean much to me If a homeless man is thankful Is it right that some are not They just eat and watch their football All the things that he has not He's as thankful as the next man In fact I'd say he's more Because to him, a true thanksgiving Doesn't need to have a score.

As I sat in the library waiting for my lecture to start, A beautiful girl came along and stood near to my heart As she sent me peace with a smile full of delight, Revealed such a beauty of hidden appealing light Her eyes somehow met mine in a sudden peep Took me somewhere over the rainbow leap her eyes were iridescent with every shades of hope, kindling sparks of spiritual faith and defeated mope As I was wondering among her beautiful face , I heard her voice ,tingling my heart to race She asked how to improve her langage to fulfill a dream, To call for Islam and invite people to know this perfect Deen She loves Allah more than you could ardently imagine , Her eyes glowing with the radiant of this noble message I was fascinated by her alluring faith and love , by her appealing beauty and optimism shining above Her heart was a precious peace of sincerity and faith Studded with the most redolent shimmering gems A full blossming hour spent without a doubt , Bringing faint hint of smiling sunshine , Pure love of Allah mingled our spirits , refreshingly flourished my heart and lissomed my soul Islam is our biggest bounty so let's be grateful, Let's relax our hearts and spread this bliss all over ... The tips I gave she kept with an excited determination , To realise her dream and be among the callers For this native religion and truthful decision, With a glorious gratitude we ended our meeting , Promised our souls to get to strengthen our faith, To noble our path and find our truthful basement Speechless expressions are all we were able to keep, In front of Allah's super mercy and grateful deeds she was a pretty faithful soul that entered my heart, Took me higher , and sowed love in every single part ... Thank you Allah for all your bounties and fascination Blissful we are to belong to your super fetching creation ... ♡Merry

Dangerous times nearing midnight. Every day opens with fresh blood or ink drying down our throats, "...and I Must Scream.", Harlan Ellison [1967] Honeycombs of humanity sink into themselves and form a thick syrup they claim will cure our ailments, but still tastes like Third ***** nationalism.  They burn our shelters and chant, "Home." Resistance looks strange. People aren't choking on gag orders, they're going around the wall, but hundreds are behind bars for protest, or still getting killed on the streets, or getting hosed down in the cold for advocating clean water. They're putting bounties on antifascists. We beat that ***** Richard Spencer, but we're yet to strike the one in the White House. Rattlesnakes under our heels, we've grown into something fiercer. Something deadlier.

"Lucky Cat Paradise."
A shadow runs, from your eyes, What is this fear that in you resides? A shadow indeed, but of peace, So let the shrill worries cease! Dance as this mystery does so far See her gleaming tresses flare! See the starlight in her eyes! See her footsteps light as skies! Feel the Summer greens grown strong, Around her garments in many a throng! Feel the silky mantle soft and blue, that was made fair from nature true! Feel the love within your soul! Feel the joy as it runs and rolls! Hear the songs she sings at night that nightingales hearken to with reviving might! Hear her voice clear as her mind that is ever peaceful and kind! Hear the silver footsteps so! Through Fire, Air, Water, Earth she might go! Smell the Fragrance of her mane of newborn life and rain forest same! Smell her cloak so elven bright that might send you into the light! Smell the fragrance of her hands to wisp you far to distant lands! Taste the bounties she hath made within the might of her den and glade! Taste the fresh air 'round her sky that is free, and will not die! Taste the tear of this maiden wise and be free from death's woeing demise! And through all of this I say "May I join you amidst your fray?" And she, says with grace, "My dear, you must become a Wicca, clean and clear! Love all! Harm None! Feel the cold of the moon and the warmth of the Sun! Join my circle brethren! And we shall sing forever, with no end!

Now Serena be not coy, Since we freely may enjoy Sweet embraces, such delights, As will shorten tedious nights. Think that beauty will not stay With you always, but away, And that tyrannizing face That now holds such perfect grace Will both changed and ruined be; So frail is all things as we see, So subject unto conquering Time. Then gather flowers in their prime, Let them not fall and perish so; Nature her bounties did bestow On us that we might use them, and ’Tis coldness not to understand What she and youth and form persuade With opportunity that’s made As we could wish it. Let’s, then, meet Often with amorous lips, and greet Each other till our wanton kisses In number pass the day Ulysses Consumed in travel, and the stars That look upon our peaceful wars With envious luster. If this store Will not suffice, we’ll number o’er The same again, until we find No number left to call to mind And show our plenty. They are poor That can count all they have and more.

To His Love When He Had Obtained Her
i know, it's not exactly mesmerising such bounties with such curdling crudeness, but that's how it is, with eyes vectoring into the above, cobalt, the highest pinnacle of the depths, a shade like any other, and then seeking the horizon, the dilution of the formidable shade into Arctic... a near white, but not exactly white, not exactly worth metaphor that's a kindred of white & black as lack & lack... just the see-through colour for the allowance of possessing eyes, not near melted mirrors of mercury, but by day, the highest peak blue in hue of cobalt, and when walking from the mountain's peak, the eyes spot the Arctic and Adriatic mist hues outlining a bordering of all things elemantal... the transparency of the whole dynamo on being grounded from all elevations, before dipping into the seas' shrubbery... for indeed the sky makes use of the close-up, apparent green shades of the sea, or the Thames grey without an earl on a royal gondola worthy a parade, nearer then the grander colour scheme, but up from space, indeed, all is blue and all is green, and all is sandy suntanned bronze and seemingly serene; lest we forgot the dollops of skeletal, floating in cloud - those scouts of Antarctica; but from the elemental blue of the sky receding into the seas of mirrors via arctic into white if not seemingly see-through, there too i spot the antidote of white nearing the pristine state of claiming being see-through, a crow's bleak colour of being shrouded in celebratory mourning: the pupil of my eye, black, and all the world around me, the flattened earth of my iris, for no astronaut i am to imagine it otherwise, from a perspective of such heights reached by fellow man, if i am to be so humbly grounded, i'll imagine it counter-productively as thus.

*Once there was a maiden who has a gardener as her wooer. And the maiden love him too. The maiden is affluent in money called Memories. And the gardener has flower bounties called Feelings he gives daily to the maiden. Every morning the gardener would knock on the maiden's door and hand her the most beautiful picks of Feelings his garden has. Some days it's a posy of 'I love you's'; or a nosegay of 'I miss you's'. Other days it's a wreath of 'kisses' and 'hugs'. But he knew what she likes best - it's the bouquet of the four. And every time, the maiden would insist to pay him with a Memory, but sweetly he would shake his head no. Until one morning, she heard no knock on the door nor there were flowers on her porch. She waited and waited, but nothing came and he never arrived. Days became weeks, there were no signs of the gardener still. The Feelings he gave her started to wilt, but many remain abloom.* "I wish the next time he knocks, he would hand me a bouquet of 'I love you's' with a coupling of 'I miss you's'," she whispered between sighs. "It's not my favorite arrangement, but those I favor among all." *And the skies seem to hear her wish. There were three gentle knocks on the door. She smiled and stood in front of it, wishing that it's really him. And it was. But he had no bouquets in hand. No posies nor nosegays nor wreaths.* "There is a new damsel in town, and to her I chose to give the Feelings, but she don't seem to care," he explained. "My Feelings piled up on her lawn but she never opened the door." *He paused. Then earnestly,* "My garden is bare of flowers, and I ran out of Feelings to give you," he continued. "But if you would allow, could you hand me a little Memory so I can restore my garden and offer you bouquets of Feelings again?" Then she gave him every Memory she has.

so people say that there are things     objects     abstracts     other people     earth's natural boundaries and bounties that urge  or maybe converge the mind into action - though most probably think the act, they reverie in what they dream as exceptional. so here is an ideal, a prototype esteemed like that emblazoned scrap of paper with the birth names and letters dotdotdot etc ... so, tell me are you aspiring or laying deep in the molds ? will it buy you a ring for your trophy ? will it make you prolific ? we would not know happiness, if only for the grand stories told to us of our entitlement to enjoy our senses. well, look at this container, you were perfectly crafted to roam with intention, across all spaces conquistadoring and expanding and 'destroying to create' whatever the **** that means and never learning not to rear our ugly heads to the paradise breastfeeding us, or to the processing keeping us bred nice and tidy. so there is the ambiguous person again, and is there something wrong with monotony, does it imply a good in consistence does it lend translation to the static      (coming up and out of your roaring mouth;            he is an angel, i grant it worth.) so be inspired by feeling. that dumpster over yonder is what it is, as your lobes transmit and lucidly self actualize :: i am not here to convince anyone but myself.

O! for this dark terrestrial ball Forsakes his azure-paved hall A prince of heav’nly birth! Divine Humanity behold, What wonders rise, what charms unfold At his descent to earth! II. The bosoms of the great and good With wonder and delight he view’d, And fix’d his empire there: Him, close compressing to his breast, The sire of gods and men address’d, “My son, my heav’nly fair! III. “Descend to earth, there place thy throne; “To succour man’s afflicted son “Each human heart inspire: “To act in bounties unconfin’d “Enlarge the close contracted mind, “And fill it with thy fire.” IV. Quick as the word, with swift career He wings his course from star to star, And leaves the bright abode. The Virtue did his charms impart; Their G——! then thy raptur’d heart Perceiv’d the rushing God: V. For when thy pitying eye did see The languid muse in low degree, Then, then at thy desire Descended the celestial nine; O’er me methought they deign’d to shine, And deign’d to string my lyre. VI. Can Afric’s muse forgetful prove? Or can such friendship fail to move A tender human heart? Immortal Friendship laurel-crown’d The smiling Graces all surround With ev’ry heav’nly Art.

PRAYER
Oh Lord my Redeemer Lord of all surveyed, Walk with me this morning in all beauty displayed; Washed in your blood now my eyes do see all i'd since forgotten that you always walked with me; and when this day is over and the twilight fades a way, I'll lift mine eyes to heaven In Christ I will pray; Oh Lord my Redeemer forgive my sins this eve, know that I am faithful know that I believe; Thank you Lord for bounties I'd long forgotten them, I Thank You for Salvation and the Joy to walk with him; When my day is over and my portion met, Let me see heavens' beauty A sight I won't forget; Thanks to all your glory My sins you've cast away, Thank You my Redeemer In Christs name I Pray! Amen

MY REDEEMER
It is said virtue possessed by a sage causes him no misfortune But it is he who must decide between rage or a stoic nature In all of life he sees the destruction cast by man’s emotion The will of another man is how he determines which is greater Would he hang a nun in the town square if it would save a forest? He once could see snow on the mountain tops in the spring And now that he can only see rock he wondered of his desires Was it for mankind or the bounties he received to hear nature sing? If only his will could be released from the evil and the good Then his form would guide his views within the natural state But what has cleaved to him is being torn away while he grieves And the steps he takes can only hear the voices of his fate The aggression of making a life made an orphan of conservation But lives alone in the wild was intended for our own good A revolution cannot begin until it reaches those with something to lose Until then one man will give his life as his mother knew he would

The Stoic Revolution
The beauty of youth will forever belong at your side, and therefore it will stay Even after the hairs upon each of our heads begin to glow like a white halo ray After it has turned from the fairest of golds to whispy alabaster whites and greys Never shall youthful beauty whisper farewell to us on any occuring days Even after long are gone the glorious days in the past and time we have spent Now filled with the sad longing, with hurting glances, in which is called resentement; These are from the multitude of wrinkles; of which to gain we never meant But still; the beauty of youth weeds out those feelings, helping us to repent The thinning upon our heads? Remind us of the days we were conspicuously snooty Because those were the fruitful times in which we were often called a "natural beauty" Noses in the air because we thought being beautiful was our righteous duty Only now the surface of our faces have been wrinkled and bleached like an old dried abalone The bounties of our short timed youth, have long been washed away with the waves of time But that allows us to remember; and rejoice at every steep mountainous climb Through smiles and laughs; and the misshaps in which we were thoroughly covered in grime The beauty of youth resonates through every memory even when it tries to be sublime The richest of light is not from youthful beauty; but forever it will always be lit and cast The light from the joyful sound of chirping birds; and the tirelessness of laughs, Of the mindless days we spend vainly dreaming, stepping off our "to be discovered" paths With the hopes of regaining our once beauty filled and profitable youthful pasts (Those are the very brightest, of every youthful light)

Withstanding the Time of Alabaster Whites and Greys

Something is dead . . . The grace of sunset solitudes, the march Of the solitary moon, the pomp and power Of round on round of shining soldier-stars Patrolling space, the bounties of the sun-- Sovran, tremendous, unimaginable-- The multitudinous friendliness of the sea, Possess no more--no more. Something is dead . . . The Autumn rain-rot deeper and wider soaks And spreads, the burden of Winter heavier weighs, His melancholy close and closer yet Cleaves, and those incantations of the Spring That made the heart a centre of miracles Grow formal, and the wonder-working bours Arise no more--no more. Something is dead . . . 'Tis time to creep in close about the fire And tell grey tales of what we were, and dream Old dreams and faded, and as we may rejoice In the young life that round us leaps and laughs, A fountain in the sunshine, in the pride Of God's best gift that to us twain returns, Dear Heart, no more--no more.

Rhymes And Rhythms: Prologue
She is the Ethereal Wonder and I am her trusty sidekick Dream Boy. Her obsequious protégé, I chop at the shadows of the baddies and glass ceilings to which she delivers swift kicks and merciless punches. In the Dream Mobile, my eyes are at her hand on the stick shift, her thumb flipping the oil slick switch and pressing it— the sounds of cars screeching and careening off cliffs fail to deter me from imagining the gloved hand in mine. Off she darts into the fray, and I hear the shocked public gasp, and the narrator expound, “Faster than men less qualified but more likely to get the job, as powerful as histories of suffragettes and debutantes, able to leap over the confines of impressed domesticity in a single bound!” Into her arms fall the thankful victims at the last second, and the baleful embrace of malevolence gropes at thin air where the Ethereal Wonder once was. She receives thanks with a wave of a gloved hand and bounties of humility. She is no damsel in distress, she is no mere love interest, and to be her partner in this great dangerous adventure will be the most heroic story ever told— And perhaps one day she will need saving, and I will rise to the occasion— owing my strength, wisdom, and ability to all she has ever taught me of being a hero.

The Ethereal Wonder
King of the lions Roars for roast ***** Of course Wants corpse Of the worse Wilderbeast Feasts for fuel To protect his pride The love of game Name’s his bride Hunts As the evader of horns With The stealth of a cat And The strength of a bull Fighting the pull of gravity At every chance Bountiful leaps With Bounties on head Headstrong Beyond boundaries The founding Of land Faults Full surface Still proud Loud As the rock That protrudes As a cliff Men hang When they try To lift Their spirits As high As his But fall Under the expectations

White violets in the window Scarlett leaves tumble across the mossy hidden stones mound beneath a chilly winter's dawn A cold wind bares the dogwood tree where puffed out plumaged woodpecker gleans on creations' plump red bounties, beheld subsistence beget for feral wings Bright crimson fattened rose hips season, lingering in the frigid morning dew; stirring warm memories of fruitlet tea's steeped from gathered garden magic spells A spoonful of love and raw honey mellowed a life once so lovingly endeared Hot Blueberry dutch-oven scratch biscuits imbue the wafting fragrant air — life's cherished moments tarry in the head and heart; sipped by ruby lips still tasting the untamable passion of a breathless goodnight kiss White violets blossom in the window the morning fire's crackle echoes a pining  memories' gentle whisper awakened by the incoming wintertide A dulcet breeze not soon forgotten — melancholy traces linger like a passing season's swan song as your memory — leads me on... harlon rivers ...

I'm one of billions out there hanging tough, I've lived, loved in rain and wind blowing by, So many fell to ground and kissed the rough. But steadfast on the rattling stem am I. Petals that shines on warm of day unfurled. They hurl their heads to glorious sunlight; And trees heavenly bounties fuelled Marauding pests to carnage in moonlight. Though crumpled by diseases every side; Yet flowers blooming yielding fruits again. Youths green to ripening men, time and tide Of fortunes of life and death remains. On stem I'll forever not hold, I'll fall; My flesh to soil in darkest night of all.

Sonnet; The Life Cycle
I am the bone man, That's what they call me, Can you touch the dead like me? My closets are full, With skeletons we dance, A candlelight trance for me, I collect my bounties under moonlight, No sight for sore eyes on the horizon, Guns in hand, Cold steel for the warm ones out tonight, I've done this for five years in my Ford Falcon, That's the only thing he left behind for me... I've had no other choice than running, My fear of self engulfs all things, I have no room to be afraid of any other, I am the bone man, That's what they call me, Can you touch the dead like me? My closets are full, With skeletons we dance, A candlelight trance for me, Maybe I'll dance five years more

Vicarious Fictions: Reclusion
If he broke you I’d try to piece you back together And you’d cut me And I’d bleed And then promise to try a little better You are weathered And a feather Made of steely tears and lead You are cursed Because the worst Place for you is in your head Making you smile makes me smile And we both haven’t in some time It’s upsetting Your sun setting And me praying for sunrise And I will hold your pieces tightly Tighter still, bleeding no doubt Till I find it’s lack of blood or tape That make my heart give out That’ll make my ears buzzy Head fuzzy Vision go askew But if I die It won’t be for lack of trying It’ll be for bounties of you
