This Advent moon shines cold and clear, These Advent nights are long; Our lamps have burned year after year, And still their flame is strong. "Watchman, what of the night?" we cry, Heart-sick with hope deferred: "No speaking signs are in the sky," Is still the watchman's word. The Porter watches at the gate, The servants watch within; The watch is long betimes and late, The prize is slow to win. "Watchman, what of the night?" but still His answer sounds the same: "No daybreak tops the utmost hill, Nor pale our lamps of flame." One to another hear them speak, The patient virgins wise: "Surely He is not far to seek,"-- "All night we watch and rise." "The days are evil looking back, The coming days are dim; Yet count we not His promise slack, But watch and wait for Him." One with another, soul with soul, They kindle fire from fire: "Friends watch us who have touched the goal." "They urge us, come up higher." "With them shall rest our waysore feet, With them is built our home, With Christ." "They sweet, but He most sweet, Sweeter than honeycomb." There no more parting, no more pain, The distant ones brought near, The lost so long are found again, Long lost but longer dear: Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, Nor heart conceived that rest, With them our good things long deferred, With Jesus Christ our Best. We weep because the night is long, We laugh, for day shall rise, We sing a slow contented song And knock at Paradise. Weeping we hold Him fast Who wept For us,--we hold Him fast; And will not let Him go except He bless us first or last. Weeping we hold Him fast to-night; We will not let Him go Till daybreak smite our wearied sight, And summer smite the snow: Then figs shall bud, and dove with dove Shall coo the livelong day; Then He shall say, "Arise, My love, My fair one, come away."

Are you struck with her figure and face? How lucky you happened to meet With none of the gossiping race, Who dwell in this horrible street! They of slanderous hints never tire; I love to approve and commend, And the lady you so much admire, Is my very particular friend! How charming she looks — her dark curls Really float with a natural air; And the beads might be taken for pearls, That arc twined in that beautiful hair: Then what tints her fair features o'erspread - That she uses white paint some pretend; But, believe me, she only wears red She's my very particular friend! Then her voice, how divine it appears While carolling: "Rise gentle moon;" Lord Crotchet lastnight stopped his ears, And declared that she sung out of tune; For my part, I think that her lay Might to Malibran's sweetness pretend; But people won't mind what I say — I'm her very particular friend! Then her writings — her exquisite rhyme To posterity surely must reach; (I wonder she finds so much time With four little sisters to teach!) A critic in Blackwood, indeed. Abused the last poem she penned; The article made my heart bleed — She's my very particular friend! Her brother dispatched with a sword, His friend in a duel, last June; And her cousin eloped from her lord, With a handsome and whiskered dragoon: Her father with duns is beset, Yet continues to dash and to spend — She's too good for so worthless a set — She's my very particular friend! All her chance of a portion is lost, And I fear she'll be single for life; Wise people will count up the cost Of a gay and extravagant wife: But tis odious to marry for pelf, (Though the times are not likely to mend,) She's a fortune besides in herself — She's my very particular friend! That she's somewhat sarcastic and pert, It were useless and vain to deny; She's a little too much of a flirt, And a slattern when no one is by: From her servants she constantly parts, Before they have reached the year's end; But her heart is the kindest of hearts — She's my very particular friend! Oh! never have pencil or pen, A creature more exquisite traced; That her style does not take with the men, Proves a sad want of judgment and taste; And if to the sketch I give now, Some flattering touches I lend; Do for partial affection allow — She's my very particular friend!

Growth prevaded by a soil of emotions, rain of memories engraving the seed for a flower awaiting to bloom, the gift of life in a moving motion of time, forming and structuring the inner beauty of one, Over years the spring of this beauty blossoms depending on the deeds, deepest wishes such as kindness and intuitions majestically, A righteous soul will truly stand proud in the sun, alike a helianthus, A trecious persons flower will be dead, as if it was drought, burnt in the heat of summer, the sweet aroma of life will still fill the air, Caught in endless change of a devils distorted, desperate working, The servants have the chance to either change for the better or to be ruined in their transient existence, fading into the dust they came of, Beauty cast in the heart remains forever with enough care and work, So this flower shall never rot, as long as it is protected with a desire and will to do good, to be gentle and truthful, thoughtful and wise, Compassion, greatness and deep loving concern are a fertilizer, Spread this kindness and you may have planted the seed for another beautiful child of the earth; A precious flower ~ Umi

Flowers of ones Heart
I know the toothless women Who crumple on the streets The rain bleeds through their cardboard, The cold drips through their feet I know the dying children With anaesthetic arms The angels crowd around them With time that burns their palms I've hugged the brainwashed gangsters With money drenched in blood I've heard their broken weeping While digging up the mud I've seen the starving faces Of the tired girls at home The broken, hectic psyches That eat them to the bone I know the burning poets With a desperate thirst for life The need for finding soulmates That pierces like a knife There's weary public servants Who risk their lives for good And prove compassion every day Yet stay misunderstood Human love is buried Beneath the plastic weight Of angry allegations And a world that feeds off hate These people may be messy, But they're beautiful and real With hidden dreams and secrets And ability to feel We have a place to run to With lights of peach and gold Where all the weight is lifted And all our tales are told We live in total freedom So safe beneath the moon And though it seems ambitious Our dreams will save us soon

But manipulated by the devil..

Manipulated by the devil
Does that lamp still burn in my Father's house, Which he kindled the night I went away? I turned once beneath the cedar boughs, And marked it gleam with a golden ray; Did he think to light me home some day? Hungry here with the crunching swine, Hungry harvest have I to reap; In a dream I count my Father's kine, I hear the tinkling bells of his sheep, I watch his lambs that browse and leap. There is plenty of bread at home, His servants have bread enough and to spare; The purple wine-fat froths with foam, Oil and spices make sweet the air, While I perish hungry and bare. Rich and blessed those servants, rather Than I who see not my Father's face! I will arise and go to my Father:-- "Fallen from sonship, beggared of grace, Grant me. Father, a servant's place."

A Prodigal Son
The Chains of ones fate are undenyable, as life carries on, Servants caught in a hell of rebirth without ever escaping, A red thread which leads verily onto a destined pathway, Decisions, the pen and the ink for ones book of destiny, They may ruin the servant, or bring them great happiness, May mislead, trick, ****** or even manipulate them without their conciousness or understanding of the weight they brought upon their poor little, yet precious bodies which carry on depression as if it was the weight of the world or far beyond that registered mass, In a hole with seemingly no escape to it, trapped in misery, Chains of suffocating pressure are keeping them in place, Oh what a terrible fate it must be to be in this position, Patience, hope and positivity are needed to see another ray of sunlight, shining beyond the scene of the darkened clouds above Once this trial has been overcome they too will shine with newfound strengh, energy and relieving glee from within themselves, So fight on, you precious souls, you are worth more than you might think or would even admit to yourselves, then shine That would be, a great wish of mine ~ Umi

Viking Saga
Gather in a dark night, impurities of the mind caused by poisonous emotions from loss and envy, of spite or jealousy, forming misery. Love fades, ahh once so innocently precious, yet fragile in structure, Leaving the servants of it in great despair and even darker hate, Where affection ruled supreme once the scars of misery are causing a heartache from leftover rampage, a riot now presented. Ah, phantoms Swaying back and forth between sadness and anger one gets lost in his own blindness, destroying and bringing himself into ruins, This lingering sadness seems eternal as time passes painfully slower, An enlighting realisation should do the task and let the soul lost inanihilating, irritational despair grow once again strong and happy, A spark illuminating the dark, with patience and hope for the future, But until this event is taking place, a personal hell is what has to be crossed alike a bridge made of anxiety, depression and self doubt. But worry not all you lost souls who are waiting for light! After all, every winter and every night find their end and ensure the dawn of a blooming spring dream. ~ Umi

Misery
The castle in the smoke sneaking like a reptile foraging in the city tirelessly the blue-colored flame awaiting the servants the colors of sounds staining all over shadiness the scarecrow with a hat stumbling through the dark the wand of a magician melts away the ancient bed and the love locked in the sarcophagus.

The last judgement shall not hold mercy on the servants, but it shall not wrong them in their deeds either, it is the final decision to make, The end of a long journey which births the desire to see you again, Your reflection cast on a mirror in a sea of pure lunacy shall clear it all It will open your heart and reveal all of your sinning impurities cast away by words of falsities, triggered by a simple yet small lie, Heartfelt dream scapes shape the mirror; In a world so dark that the stars will blind ones sensitive, mortal eyes within seconds to come, Experience of past events suspend memories from the future's dawn. I will not show you any sad dreams, I'd like to heal your wounds if you have striven for righteousness and purity such as patience, If you however have striven for corruption then you should know, There's unending punishment and darkness awaiting your arrival, Here we do have unlimitted time after all, unlimited cruelty and fear, Love comes in misery, ends unexpectedly yet you won't see, will you? Time ticks on, goes by and follows it's clear path in this devil's world which I am lurking over, ruling, which you have intruded tonight, Take my hand oh all you pure souls, the love of light is for all to bear! ~ Umi

The Last Judgement
Freedom At Kannyakumari “The destiny of India is molded in her class-rooms” Kothari had no confusion; no vision on the fusion- of the East and the West, as Swami Vivekananda’s vision, “The comingling of the East and the West will dawn a new Era”. As tissue culture, transplantation or cloning we Indians imbibe the Western Culture; or as G.M cotton or brinjals,or tomato Indians are produced, transmuted destroying the very indigenous genus for material growth. Ayurveda is preserved not in Sanskrit but in English letters, now ! Followers of Lord Maccaulay as obedient servants, by experiments,bring up Indians only in blood and colour- in every other respects-Europeans (using imperialist - capitalist media); poor sycophants ,for a visa, the Indians: now , turn to the West for light, leaving the bright light under the Urn; cry for a way of progress, safety and food; and beg:once self reliant nations as cells of a body No retrospection or introspection, only putrefaction, hence , no resurrection. On August 15th ,at Kannyakumari beach , beside me, a bare body of a woman(my sister?) lay asleep; I witnessed at the starry cold mid-night: the surging sea spitting frothing snow upon the black rocky ******* protruded, greasy, mossy. bare but fair , ever young at the feet of Bharat-matha. Wet in the salty breeze , from the foul smell of death, I walked and walked searching shelter, but no room for a single son with meagre wealth. The tourism net -workers with the thirst of mosquitoes hummed around me with highly rented room offer- source of tourism exploitation- I bargained, till, morning red balloon rose up in the Eastern horizon cleaving the vapours of the sea, when , thousand tongues chanted Gayathri; then , the locals thronged around the woman on the shore; somebody among them, staring blear eyed as the police jeep and the ambulance arrived , bewailed “O! Gayathri, my darling, O! Gayathri…” Unsoothed. The chanting and the yelling dissolved in the breeze that passed by the Vivekananda rock, afar, south

Oh beloved princess, I'm just a commoner, I just drink cannabis, Lime & shank I have. You are daughter of the king, I lack any maids or servants, You are protected by shawls, I lack even a blanket or rug.. Get married to a moneylender, Marry a lucky man... I have pieces of purity, But I'm just a commoner, I just drink cannabis, Lime & shank I have. You live in the palaces, I roam the wilderness, You are not used to it, I am used to roaming. Get married to a rich man, Marry a lucky man. I just have purity in me, Yes, I'm a commoner, I just drink cannabis, Lime & shank is all I have. I carry on my austerity in incense, I drink a slurry of cinders, I tame hundreds of snakes on my neck, I will scare you off my saturnalia. You need a man with wavy hair, A man with wavy hair. My hair is dishevelled, I am a commoner, And I drink cannabis, All I have is a lime & shank.

Oh Beloved Princess
On his mighty mountain Jove reigned with his queen Never questioned Never held in check Such riches never seen! With mount Olympus as his home Far above the throng He could do just as he pleased No, he was never wrong! Then a fair nymph maiden Caught Jove's roving eye Hera was out shopping He saw the maid go by... Making his advances He found that he was spurned! No matter how he postured Her head was never turned! "Oh Jupiter!" She laughed aloud "You bloated moon, you knave! I'd rather love a he-goat For all the gifts you gave! You have no tact. No honor. You plurocratic fool! You pick your teeth with Poor men's bones Using wealth as tool! Go on then! Arrest me! Force me... if you dare... But I know Hera's servants The one's who do her hair!" Jupiter was stymied He knew just what this meant. Hera'd throw a fit for sure! So he had to relent. But he cursed the nymph-maid With great poverty. But dissing him was such a joy She'd do the same for FREE! (C) SoulSurvivor

Jupiter Falling
XXXII. TO SELENE (20 lines) (ll. 1-13) And next, sweet voiced Muses, daughters of Zeus, well- skilled in song, tell of the long-winged (35) Moon. From her immortal head a radiance is shown from heaven and embraces earth; and great is the beauty that ariseth from her shining light. The air, unlit before, glows with the light of her golden crown, and her rays beam clear, whensoever bright Selene having bathed her lovely body in the waters of Ocean, and donned her far-gleaming, shining team, drives on her long-maned horses at full speed, at eventime in the mid-month: then her great orbit is full and then her beams shine brightest as she increases. So she is a sure token and a sign to mortal men. (ll. 14-16) Once the Son of Cronos was joined with her in love; and she conceived and bare a daughter Pandia, exceeding lovely amongst the deathless gods. (ll. 17-20) Hail, white-armed goddess, bright Selene, mild, bright-tressed queen! And now I will leave you and sing the glories of men half-divine, whose deeds minstrels, the servants of the Muses, celebrate with lovely lips.

The Homeric Hymns: 32- To Selene
"Alexander son of Philip, and the Greeks except the Lacedaemonians--" We can very well imagine that they were utterly indifferent in Sparta to this inscription. "Except the Lacedaemonians", but naturally. The Spartans were not to be led and ordered about as precious servants. Besides a panhellenic campaign without a Spartan king as a leader would not have appeared very important. O, of course "except the Lacedaemonians." This too is a stand. Understandable. Thus, except the Lacedaemonians at Granicus; and then at Issus; and in the final battle, where the formidable army was swept away that the Persians had massed at Arbela: which had set out from Arbela for victory, and was swept away. And out of the remarkable panhellenic campaign, victorious, brilliant, celebrated, glorious as no other had ever been glorified, the incomparable: we emerged; a great new Greek world. We; the Alexandrians, the Antiocheans, the Seleucians, and the numerous rest of the Greeks of Egypt and Syria, and of Media, and Persia, and the many others. With our extensive territories, with the varied action of thoughtful adaptations. And the Common Greek Language we carried to the heart of Bactria, to the Indians. As if we were to talk of Lacedaemonians now!

By Arcassin Burnham I wasn't sure, If i ever was good enough to ever step to your throne, So I endured, What I could, just to get you alone, Moses separated seas, The pharoas had a different purpose, You just had a jungle full of servants, They act they deserve it, Nobody had to be perfect, Nobody had to be perfect, But your sacrifice was worth it, Hear her roar, Scratching claws, Perfect angels, Baby you don't have no flaws, Fierce, Half lion human face, Would do anything, To serve you in your warm embrace. I wasn't sure, If i ever was good enough to ever step to your throne, So I endured, What I could, just to get you alone, I wasn't sure, If i ever was good enough to ever step to your throne, So I endured, What I could, just to get you alone. My Lion Queen. So before I diss you, Is there anything you wanna say to the critics, Because they would like to know, I'm tired of trying to get your attention, I swear to god ***** you're on your own, Could of saw you at the best your of your abilities, But instead you up and ignore me, But i won't let keep letting you follow me on HP, So what you gotta say the critics, They would like to know, Or do you still have that so called old soul, Stuck inside a teenagers body, The story was told , Over and over, So you could get over yourself, Before I block you, I just wanna hear you cry for help. I took your throne.. lion Queen.

She was the queen of Camelot in her dreams She wore a golden diadem and a silver swirling dress Servants were at her beck and call Her king was kind and brave and caring and noble But when day broke she was a prisoner behind bars Trapped in her bedroom With only her dreams to comfort her

The Queen of Camelot
In this, my last hour of rhyme, with stains uncontainèd by shaking hands Spreading like red soldiers running wartime untempered by generals shouting commands Then laughing like drunkards, drowning in wine that rich purple spills out from its barrels Then lying on bartops, eyes shine porcine and unheard soft voices hiss curses and carols. O, woe be on me if I speak out of time; out-tumbling come innards, spewed from a mouth Which whispered sad prayers in corners of grime: hints of spring-season on trips to the south; Watch them out-tumble, watch horri-divine like the death of the tragic, acted but true Yet laughing old minstrels declare it quite fine: and friends ensure royal-men breathe not from the blue. Hours fly past on wings of the Sun who turns misted eyes from child-fight below And lives lives of many, but cares not for none not least merchant servants, throttled in the snow. I fade and I fade: a blossom once watered and love of the stage is clogging my throat It changes my words: I fight it, I fought it and hot-wet floods up with drowning and choke. This minute, these words: I defy death. And cold, outward slipping: my slow final breath.

Death of the Poet, Mercutio
This poem is dedicated to the fallen of the First World War, and also, to all those we have lost in the years since. - Somme Harvest - In the early morning Dawn of the fiery horizon, The sea of green caresses the land And gave it gentle kisses Of tender sadness. On this day many an unlived life would find Life in Death, but first must come Death in Life, Indeed, a bouquet of barbs grace the Dark, dank, ***** Halls of Morningstar, Servants go to and fro preparing the sordid feast Of unsung heroes. Babes in arms are they, who shall Ever sleep till the break of the final day. Fields of Flanders infertile, But for the harvest to ripen The fertilizer of life is Scattered, battered, tattered, Sown, Human manure, nutrient of vitality, It seeps into earthly soil. In the year of our Lord, One thousand, nine hundred and sixteen Did the farmers collect their greatest bounty, Not all farmers reaped massive yields, Farmers Kultur, Sickle and Hammer Fed their maniacal hunger with rotting corpses, While famers Lion, Bulldog and Bald Eagle Wept their hunger with mechanical eyes, Farmer Scythe, steward of Morningstar, Laughed dry, dead tears of hungry joy And sang the golden harvest song As his blade swam through the harvest thirstily, For indeed, the harvest was an endless Smoky sea of blood green And thousands were sailing. Twilight gleaming through the sky, The raging war god vomit’s dry thunderous wrath And wreaks barbaric, savage, ferocious, ****** carnage below, As sleeping Babes in arms fly through the red twilight. Vultures dressed in human feathers Gather and crowd around their congealing cold feast, With hatred sewn on their Lifeless, lidless Blind eyes, They shriek their throaty, ****** Thankless prayers to idle gods. A multitude of thousands upon thousands Of souls sour to the heights of Mount Olympus, Unshed tears, My child, I saw you in that dusky evening half-light, Flying, soaring and rising higher with your Brothers-in-arms. As I looked up at the darkening sky My heart wept warm tears of ebbing love, While my eyes forever dimmed the light, And my baby, My body became the Earth, The phoenix has nested.

Miss Helen Slingsby was my maiden aunt, And lived in a small house near a fashionable square Cared for by servants to the number of four. Now when she died there was silence in heaven And silence at her end of the street. The shutters were drawn and the undertaker wiped his feet— He was aware that this sort of thing had occurred before. The dogs were handsomely provided for, But shortly afterwards the parrot died too. The Dresden clock continued ticking on the mantelpiece, And the footman sat upon the dining-table Holding the second housemaid on his knees— Who had always been so careful while her mistress lived.

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!
