Son

I know God has you in his arms.

Every single night

I just wish I was the one.

That was holding you so tight.

I think of the years that could have been.

And how the years would go.

And how I would be your mommy.

And that I would be able to show

To show to everyone that I love you.

And how much you mean to me.

For when it comes to Christmas time

You are the only star up on the tree.

I love you son♡

To my first born written before I became a Muslim

Our Castles of Sand

Hands determinedly digging
 through sand, rocks and shells
 pounding, pumping and preparing
 magnificent mounds of living structure.
 
 Like castles of sand
 on a burning beach,
 our cities emerge
 from lifeless barren soil.
 A network of confusion
 erupting into violence and hate.
 
 Only the rich can have
 the upper windows
 that look out and on, away
 from the mess their hands
 have formed.
 
 The others, stifled
 sitting in houses
 awaiting death.
 Seizing, grasping any kind of joy
 that comes their way,
 even if their joy claims
 that of others.
 
 Stagnated youth, lying helpless at the end of a needle
 Stolen innocence of childhood appeasing the lusts of men
 Tyrannical credit cards
 seizing wealth that does not exist,
 pulling people into poverty
 in the name of freedom.
 
 Beware! the tide always comes
 what we think is permanent, stable and prolonged
 disappears in an instant.
 Our castles of sand
 that cost so much of life and beauty to build,
 will one day,
 all be washed away.
 

Sad Sorrows

I weep my heart out no one cares

slowly I have fallen 

down into the gray blackness of

despair 

anguishing for hours 

can barely left my head 

dragging myself through the days 

I paste on a mask and hope none sees through

my pain is always bubbling up, just beneath; 

never rising  

I hide the tears and fears 

depression slowly pulls me down 

lower than the darkest hour 

I cry out to Allah to give me relief from the never ending battle

I am bone weary how much longer must I fight against this losing battle 

I have fought for years and nothing ever changes 

the struggles of depression makes me forget how to smile or laugh

I feel like a big damp cold colorless fog holds onto me

Poem

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

There’s not a day that doesn’t goes by

That I don’t think of you

You are always on my mind

And always in my heart

And that is something you can’t tear apart.

I will always be your mommy.

And I will always love you so

But the day god took you from me.

Was the day you had to go?

You had to go to a better place.

But you will always be around.

For my thoughts of you

Is what makes me think?

What it would have been like if you were around

I love you son more than anything♡

Bipolar

Falling down my cheeks are big fat tears.

All the anguish within my heart,

Is leaking from my eyes.

I Cried despairing my emotions are plain.

To see

Yet they are not even acknowledged.

My moods are elicited, mess of indecision and anxiety concealed.

By a single mask of indifference,

No one seems to care,

Or take the time to know me,

I am adrift in an ocean of fears.

Battling with tides and currents

I have always been fiercely stricken with this affliction.

Doctors have given it labels.

But it is not so neatly labeled and packaged.

My mental health

Is not some random label.

No pills have helped me.

Talking about it won’t make it go away.

Bipolar is here to stay.

Please understand having a mental illness

Is not fun.

It isn’t cool.

And no one understands me and the personal hell.

I have endured all the adversity and stigma of it.

Yet I wake and fight fiercely to make my way.

Through the long darkness

That is thrust.

Upon me

I pray for strength.

And promise to personally forgive all whom betray,

Sorrows Of Lost Tomorrow’s 

I am alone, without a voice or vision

I have great sorrows and greater regret in all the missed tomorrows.

Yesterday’s pasts repeat themselves with awful images running through my head.

Clouds blur my eyes,

And I don’t feel well,

my hearts in anguish dark on the round my tears tumble down from above,

Falling

On the ground there isn’t

A thousand new tears.

I have never seen such griefs.

my heart has shattered.

Into a thousand tiny shards of sapphire blue diamond

Cloaked in ruby red stained tears shredded of all my life’s blissful dreams and the hopes of all the days,
Dark midnight blue of storms immense,

In my own eyes

Life’s Warm Glow

Life’s Warm Glow
If you’ve ever seen
A beautiful sunset
Then you know it’s
Not seeing its warmth,
But letting yourself
Dream and feel its glow.
It holds spirits, souls,
Memories that rekindle
Every time you find yourself
Drifting away into its
Magnificent glory.
A sunset is nothing
Short of a warm loving
Moment that you forget
About life and its
Sorrows, its shortcomings.
It’s there to remind us all
Of life’s treasures
And beauty.

Compromises

Compromises
Crying deep inside and

Smiling at every face I see
It happens in real to people

And I am feeling now
Could I blame to the heart

Often It breaks,

And breaks me
None knows..

None should know
That what it is feels inside

It’s all words and promises
That we all live on,

Day after day

Did I keep my promises to all
Why do I cry when someone didn’t

I will keep forgiving day after day
Compromises are love is all about

Didn’t know it before…

Even now
Crying deep inside.

Even when smile
