glimpses of the morning
Our hearts and souls were so blessed to fast Ramadan sincerely To be enlightened by its super mercy and extreme prosperity purity abiding around my heart, kindling my every part a gift from Allah came along to bless our hearts to spread peace and love, to dig faith in each part A blessed bounty to wipe away our tears to zest our souls and vanish our fears to sparkle with faith with our keenest beliefs and twinkle light in our bright smiles oh dear eid, you can't help it but sowing seeds of joy, Capturing joy and happiness in every single countenance , of a child's enthusiastic joy kindling a thriving inner radiance joining hearts and souls with the deepest crystals of love revealing such a fancy artistic touch of a peaceful dove feeling the gratitude for Allah's super merciful blessings praying to pluck the roses of peace each single moment pounding hearts of affliction and yearning missing your everlasting passion getting sick of poisoning yearning for their peaceful deliverance to catch glimpses of happiness that once has been hunted by a sudden death of a loving part of soul until Allah will send a cheerful hope, just be patience to get over all the mope smile and share the joy of eid and love , work even harder to cherish the heaven above ....

Eid's faithful whispers
when she was eight years old she asked her mother have you seen the girl with lashes like butterflies against sharp cheekbone branches? a dandelion sprouting from sludge covered gutters and streets streets, where you feel that bitter bland nothingness in your stomach it feels buttery to stare at her: see how snow outstretches arms and twirls tippy toes, envies her grace see how balloon sized raindrops pop, target the freckles on her arm see how her forehead crinkles when she concentrates, nothing more than a beacon proclaiming she trickles with stars when she was eight years old her parent's violent protests slipped bruises under her skin like pennies in a coin slot but they could not contain the celestial girl tucked under her ribcage. she would still look at her like she was the breakfast sun on a saturday whistling by the creak, catching glimpses of dresses from behind the legs of trees. see how this is special love, sweet as strawberry fields under soft sun they would never feel on their forked, sour tongues

When She Was Eight
I've seen sunlight in her eyes, a reflection of her soul. So warm, radiant and gentle, but a glance is all I stole. I've seen starlight in her eyes, a reflection of her dreams. Dancing beneath the sea of pearls; mirrored in a serene stream. I've seen firelight in her eyes, a reflection of her lust. The crimson embers flickering; hearts threatening to combust. I've seen moonlight in her eyes, a reflection of her wonder. Thoughtful silent glimpses shared in the silver beams asunder. Yet every moment my memory holds, reflected in earth and skies -- I'd trade them all without hesitation just to be beautiful in her eyes.

In Her Eyes
Thirty days have passed by, purity abiding around my heart Our souls were so blessed to fast Ramadan deeply sincere To be enlightened by its vast mercy and the extreme prosperity a gift from Allah came along to bless our hearts to spread peace and love, to dig faith in each part A blessed bounty to wipe away our tears to rest our souls and vanish our fears to sparkle with faith with our ambitious beliefs and twinkle light in our bright smiles I can't explain the sadness, that all of it is already gone Yet I am unable to express, all the happiness that came along Oh dear Eid, you can't help it but sowing seeds of joy, All the little children jumping out of ecstasy, or something more We gather all of us in a room, cheering everything we have got the child's enthusiasm kindling a thriving inner radiance joining hearts with the profound crystals of love feeling the gratitude for Allah's merciful blessings pounding hearts of affliction and yearning attempting to catch glimpses of happiness that once has been hunted by a sudden death of a loving dear soul I have two sides today, in my spirit is something wrong but it's real, and I can't hide it and let the feeling in my heart just lay A beaming smile, so doleful eyes As I said I have got two sides And still can not decide. This great festival meant a lot, now it is just a reminder, to all the years that have flown celebrating a day without her. It is just a replay, to the digging nostalgia in my core, until Allah will send a cheerful hope, just be patience to get over all the mope work even harder to cherish the heaven above. Yet you see, this movie will come again, the next year and the melancholia, tingled with nostalgia might keep you deaf and blind along your long road. Remember that Allah's door of repenting is always wide open Waiting for your heart to get back and mind be awaken...

He is that high, dazed and alive When you spend hours stealing Glimpses at the stars Like keys wrapped around a promise To free you from these bars Limitations placed so certainly On top of you on top of me I seek my way out Like a star gazer seeks understanding I’m planning on playing my hand just right Putting you next to me King of hearts at my side Or maybe you are a joker, Either way put on your poker face We have life and space, set no pace Like untimed steps under A fall to far Sing to me a jazzy song From a time that’s far, Dance with me Dance along, move your feet Make no promise you can’t keep Just feel it It’s like freedom but on fire Like trust without certainty Acrobat without a wire Like letting go A grand release Like fearlessness A found voice to speak Passions pushed blood to cheek Blushing past shades of pink Pull you in, close to me Fearless in you and me Just fearless

Waiting for spring to return this winter’s day. Straining to touch warm breezes of the past. Caught in this prison of gray and white. Wishing to break these dark chains that hold me. Remnants of fall, crumpled like brown paper on the ground. Straws of pale brown growing up through the snow, ******* it dry. Seeds and freeze dried fruit lay scattered about under trees. Bare limbs and stalks drip with liquid glass. Trees hanging bare, gray in lifelessness. Winter birds call out, single in their pursuit of leftover meals. Tracks of animals unknown dot the landscape with patchwork. Waves of ridges etched in white lead off to nowhere. Sparse, sun filled days bring brief glimpses of hope. With the promise of warmth waiting to banish the cold that holds me to my past and this existence; waiting for spring to return and thaw this frozen heart.

WAITING FOR SPRING
Acceptance of another requires bravery. Not the loud, brawling courage brought and left on the battlefield. Rather the quiet kind of bravery when she catches glimpses of my personal darkness and still stays. Her type of bravery is when the fractured light fixtures behind my eyes flicker before going out, plunging me in darkness. She sits beside me sharing that dark. She not only sees my enraged monsters but tries to befriend them, understand them. At times I’m deathly afraid of myself. But she never seems to be. And that is the greatest kind of bravery.

Acceptance Requires Bravery
They not understanding, I see glimpses of death. I keep telling y'all I'm not right, but i guess y'all are deaf. My last straw been plucked, holding to sanity by a stitch. Im on my last leg, but i feel I'm 'bout to slip. Body bags and blood splatters, those pictures flash in when i blink. I'm laughing at the pain i feel until i can't think. From the outside I'm ok, on the instide I'm wrecked. I'm like building with bad foundation, i need to be checked. I feel that point is coming, when the me y'all know disappears. When my heart and soul welcomes the darkness, the hate, my fears. When nothing will reach me, when I'll forget the word calm. When my last tick, ticks and i explode like a bomb.

these shallow glimpses we share as days grow long the scattered thoughts swirl and bury themselves in crevices of this old house to be re-awakened perhaps when we are many years gone what can we salvage of this eternal bond while the Sun buries itself behind the Oak that we've watched grow from the kitchen window since the days when our hair was thick and dark and the smell of fresh cut wood was present what words can I say to bring tears to your eyes tears that would come from but a glimpse that shouted my fervent love we are captives of our timeless, undying, unwavering hearts yet all that remains of this diminishing soul would disperse like the final slivers of light should I lose you

Our tears touch- They mingle And smear together, Becoming one; Tiny vials of our soul- In the form of tears, Each half empty, Until they meet as one. Our lips kiss, Sparks fly, To and from, joining, Becoming one. Our souls leap To meet each other, To send sparks, To announce the union. Tears we cry, Kisses we give, All are glimpses Of our souls, Finally meeting ever so Slowly but surely They mingle And caress. Yours and mine, That have searched For each other For all time. Let the tears flow, Let the kisses rain, For you have found me And I have found you. For our tears mingle, Our kisses send sparks; They speak to the heart: You and I are Soulmates.

A self confessed dreamer One that knew no bounds Can't keep his mind in tether It's always fleeing from the grounds He'd always been the dreamer Picking the shackles of reality Always hopeful of finding another A safe haven, an escape, a sanctuary Madness is thought of this silly little dreamer Forever bartering reality for a life of fantasy "He's moonstruck", said one to the other Obstinate still he chooses to wander free Alas one day, he stumbled upon a jewel Glistening, deceivingly within arm's reach But a beautiful game was played so cruel Fate wouldn't give easily what it could teach Glimpses of undefined beauty Himself drawn closer to this beacon He craves for this gem so madly Didn't care for what's to happen He descended to the surface One thing he just did realise That the jewel wasn't in its place But a reflection of another in the skies He looked up, he spun and he squinted Attempting this search he had just begun For a moment he found himself to be blinded For the jewel is indeed the sun He marvels at her beauty Till his eyes turned red and sore But he doesn't stop even briefly For she's the object of his adore He gazes at his newfound muse Till the day grew dim and late When she sets he would hesitate and refuse To return willingly to his ****** state Through promise he returns daily To catch his sun as she would rise For she fills him with aplenty And she listens to his forlorn cries He loves her much as she did him In each other's magic the two would bask As time flits by, the day grows dreadfully dim Too short a time from dawn till dusk The dreamer waits patiently As dusk turns to dawn The dreamer waits painfully For she will come then she'll be gone This rise is somewhat special For his love he had made known She admits the love is reciprocal For him her love had also grown But the dreamer will soon come to realise Out of reach his sun he can never kiss Her bountiful love will be the ultimate prize The prize he can never claim to be fully his *"Silly little dreamer feeding your childish dreams" "Silly little dreamer what fanciful notions you make" "Silly little dreamer you'll be ripped at the seams" "Silly little dreamer not every heart you just can take"* He pays no heed to what the others say He knows his chances run exceedingly slim He's walking on tightrope that's doomed to fray But what happens today is what really matters to him I am that silly little dreamer Whose feet is never on the ground I have chosen to live part of my life in wonder For it is you that I have found

Capitalism swings securely from the crook of her arm while Slavery gently coils itself around her beautifully damaged waist... Racism coats the soles of her brand new shoes and leaves print print print on the harsh unforgiving unemployed pavement. The world cried, died as she dyed her hair to Honey Suckle Blonde. It hangs: drab, limp, strangled by the Ignorance sitting firmly on top of that pretty little head. Jagged, matted wrists rattle around inside imported bangles (or manacles) of Oppression and Depression and Suppression They're in fashion. Her eyes are drowning in Jealousy Mascara (new) and I Hate You shadows (old) and, together, her weeping heart and painted nails claw at Fame and Fortune but the new shoes and gorgeous boyfriend just aren't tall enough. She limps past shattered windows in which she glimpses a girl, or rather, a young lady who is very much a prisoner of today and not A Leader Of Tomorrow

I can't even remember how it started... Drifting from who I was, My normal just slowly departed from me. Foggy glimpses of the boy I used to be. Ripping through the last shreds of my humanity, Right on the edge of insanity, I'm not but a shadow of what, and who I was, Can you guess what was the cause? As time goes on, I am more and more losing myself, Turning absolutely insane, there is now no sense of self. I'm starting to be really bloodthirsty. As time goes on, I more and more want to hurt somebody, Physically. I want to feel something, anything! I'm slowly losing my sanity, It's getting real hard to keep myself from breaking the limits, Of this society we live in! But can you blame me? I just want to feel excited, Happy, Have a geniune smile on my **** face. Do you comprehend An existence like mine, Where you feel nothing? While people around you find happiness, And joy, In things that mean nothing to you? I've been resisting my urges for a while, But I'm slowly getting out of control, Nothing can make me whole. Things are gonna get real ugly, Real soon. Therapy won't help this insane existence of mine. Trust me, they tried, and tried. Phsychologists, psychiatrists, 5 types of antidepressants, A bunch of relaxants, And diagnosis of many, many mental disorders. Nothing could get me back in order, I guess they were too late, I already crossed all sane borders. Yup... For years, to no avail. Go on, mock me, say I'm insane; But it's your kind that did this to me. But please, watch your tongue, Words are hurtful. Hush now, won't you stay a while? Join me with a painted smile. Tragic faces, Stationed at my bedside, Warm embraces, While I'm hollow on the inside. Their eyes betray them, This is only a painted smile. After my attempts, People just wouldn't buy my painted smiles, So they tried, and tried, Everything they could think of. Religion, mental hospitals, therapy, and medication... If only they knew what a monster I try to keep inside every day, Will their opinions change that day, Will they regret it when I unleash the beast inside? So 'till the day I tear myself from the inside, Won't you join me with a painted smile?

In an age of social media and technology We waste away so many hours of our days Scrolling through snapshots Of incredible things and places From all over the world and beyond We are so amazed by These glimpses Of other peoples lives That we often forget To live our own.

Reminder
I believe in a universe where a sleepy eye opens existence... a slowly drooping eyelid ushers it away. I believe in a universe where Indra and the other Gods churn the cosmic milk... where Shiva does the eternal dance. I believe in a universe where light is separate from darkness and mankind is molded from a ball of divine **** a breath, Be and it is. I believe in a universe where Gaia watches as Cronus devours her children until she gives him a stone... and hides Zeus away. I believe in a universe that expands from a singularity of infinitely dense potentiality less than a speck, to our cosmos immeasurable in scale. I believe in a universe where Lao Tuz hands a guard a little book of wisdom before disappearing into the mountains where the sages go. I believe in a universe where Siddhartha contemplates emptiness and feels the winds of eternity whistling through his soul. I believe in a universe where E=Mc2. I believe in a universe where an old man lights the first holy fire and describes the war between light and goodness vs darkness and evil. I believe in a universe where the earth and moon, and all the planets go round the sun... in a galaxy carrying us dancing a waltz we can only catch glimpses of. I believe in a universe where "Know Thyself" is revered as a deep truth. I believe in a universe where an unexamined life is not worth living. I believe in a universe where the words of a carpenter are a true path. I believe in a universe where an illiterate man is commanded Read!... a burning coal upon the lips. I believe in a universe where every God and Goddess exist, each in their own heaven... each in their own hell. I believe in a universe where there are no gods or goddesses only the relentless laws of matter, energy and gravity. I believe in a universe where everything is mathematics. I believe in a universe where everything is holy I believe in a universe where everything in profane. I believe in a universe where everything is a simulation. I believe in a universe where everything is ****** in nature. I believe in a universe where everything is stimulation. I believe in a universe where the hoochie ******* is what its all about. I believe in the universe.

I believe in a universe where everything is ****** in nature. I believe in a universe where everything is stimulation. I believe in a universe where the hoochie ******* is what its all about. I believe in the universe.

I have met a girl, much more different than, the girls I have come to know. Right next door she lives. I catch glimpses of her sometimes, taking her dog out for a walk. And I catch glimpses of her, waving back at me. Yes, I have talked to her. She has the most amazing voice, the most beautiful eyes, and the most quirky of personalities. I feel that I am meant for her, and she is meant for me. It is a dream come true. But the only problem though, is that she only exists, inside the pages of a book.

The Girl Next Door
Boundless energy around us, Stretched to snare the senses. Shaped and bound to our life-force. No barriers, or defenses. Limitless interplay, front row seats shall we say. To astounding cosmic displays. Consider what a day holds;~ Glimpses of magnificence In the eyes of the beholder, Fear not insignificance. Take grip of your awareness Exchanging energy, Is inherent in us. Throw a love curve ball. . . Await your reciprocating shower. those stars, they fall forever. They deal not in glamour. Casually causing us humans to stutter and mumble. Let not, your heart labor, Loves home-run rests Patiently, On your minds table. Prana for everything, This **** ain't no fable.

I won't be the weak one, Although when I think and speak I may tweak some I'm just Searching for reasons To justify the swell. I will ride the undertow Sunken beneath bass lines  And blunt tails Intending to take it slow. But I get a little excited sometimes, you know. So when this undertow undoubtedly  Washes me ashore I'll be the imaginary statue  Erected in my honor Proudly saluting every fleeting Emotion that sailed Straight through my harbor. You see,  Harboring hatred is a trait I forfeited To make way for the minuscule moments and glimpses Of human existence penetrating Layers of jade and years Of conditioning and I am successfully Transitioning into persistently  Acknowledging the raindrops  As they hit the pavement and pop. You see some people feel the rain While others just get wet, A wise Rastafarian  Once famously said. And I think on it all Far too frequently for a quiet mind But I've never had one of those Not even after rolling papers Intertwine and smoke fills my eyes, Because I am accustomed  To a constant consciousness And I'd much rather this Than nothingness And thus I sit, contemplating  Consequence  Aspiring to avoid the guilt of  Seasons past, For I am past the point of Punishment and pain ghosts and I have plenty of pangs from all The echoes In my brain and in these Rattled apartment's stains It's not all in vain  Life grows these varicose Veins Colored-in, crawling across the Window panes  Of the chamber where my soul remained Through the bridge until the end of The refrain. I am in reign.  I rock the crown. I roll the dice when  I am down I try to think twice Before I frown I contemplate the value  Of the men that I allow To lay me down  Now, I am grown and I am proud Because I am humble And I'm not loud Any longer, I listen To the subtle sounds of Human respiration. I am the incarnation Of ancient incantations that Shake down the walls which Separate us all All the way to the ground. True power is found Where unity resounds.
