Write it to Right it

Sometimes we just need to write.. Write it to make it right.. Right it to tame our inner fight.. Transcribe the sounds of our feelings that bite.. Mega bytes that store what was and what might.. Mighty souls protecting hearts that ignite.. Realities of love in this world that are so finite.. Still seeking waves that take her to heights.. that clear her sight.. that bring her delight.. Holding on to hope like a survival rope.. for surely with hope she will always find Light..

Why is it that love escapes us?

Why is it that love escapes us?

Like the sand in between our hands.. Like the migrants of the war-torn land..

Between the tick and the tock... Like the birds in a flock.. Flying south when it's cold and back north when it's warm

Let us grow in between, where the flowers are in bloom and the grass is always green.. 

Hold me!  Like you'll always see me again.. Like you'll always love me like you did then.. 

No.. more than you did then

No modesty no shame and no boundaries with this love.. A love that demands... that calms and that comes from above..

A time where we don't ask why? Where we do not deny? For the love that escapes us is also the love that finds us

Wait...

Wait till you see my tears... till you see my emotions trickle down my face...

Falling with humility the pain clears.. Makes us questions the things we chase...

Wait till you see me smile...till you see me open my heart..
Paving this road tile by tile... A mosaic of broken pieces that keep us from falling apart...

Conquer & Embrace

A man divides to conquer... 

A woman multiplies to embrace...

We share through love, what we thought once to be unsharable...

Holding onto vanishing lovers from our past, unborn children from our future...

You my love.. today.. will be a new beginning that has always been.. and will always be

You are the only one... with many others...

Today.. let us unite.. the past the present the future...

Tonight we shall conquer and embrace... 

seen beyond sin...

in distance.. we find true company that resides within our hearts
in poverty.. we discover how riches reside in the smiles of those we love and behind the eyes of those who care
in sin.. we find God's mercy and love

we all deserve the best.. because God loves us and wants for us nothing less... 
His Words guide us.. His Love gives us life.. His Hands lift us.. His Light shows us...

in you.. i have grown to find this Truth of God illuminate within your heart and soul... within the dust and dirt of your struggles and challenges.. and within the energy of your smile and laughter...

let us always return to Him.. and help each other do that.. for we are nothing without God.. without His pleasure...

We have nothing if we do not have His love and acceptance..

there will be a day where there will be a last breath... when my soul.. your soul.. will leave our bodies to return to its Creator.. where I want to hear God tell us: "`Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your Master.' [Matthew 25] 

with that breath.. beyond that breath... what has been was... and nothing more will be... except for God .. where i will only think of God.. hoping to hear: "("O tranquil soul! Return back to your Lord, well-pleased and well-pleasing! Enter among My servants. And enter My Paradise!'' [Quran:89]

.. the unkown

  the unknown? Provide me with some guidance

indeed to me it is known.. in it i pay a great deal of patience...

  how can you live not knowing what tomorrow bares?

  or if another day might bring more painful affairs?

You touch within me a deep wound

  i apologize, i do not intend to leave your mood mistuned

i freeze today held back by those memories

Yet continue to move forward believing in divine territories

Another world of unknown through which He blesses me with serenity

What else can i tell you... understand in this life its brevity

Growing Roots

Sometimes when i feel void, scared, or hurt.. i remain still in my uncomfortable position and wait... for roots to grow into the ground from the soul of my feet... to tell me i will not fall into the deep hole, twirl with the tornado or drown in the ocean...
