A Crisis In Faith
there is a crisis in faith
because one has looked up there where the stars
are faithless themselves
their doubts are as myriad as their
twinklings
their being lost are shown with the
way they die
one by one in an explosion
that is missed by your
limited eyes
try moving inward, into the caves of your heart
where the silence of the veins
and arteries are found
where red blood of life passes
in and out of the valves without much complaint
where the heart works all its lifetime
to tell you about love
and tenderness
and care and patience and passion
to love the words of God till the end of time.

Forever Lost
lost in a maze of emotions
nowhere to go in that labyrynth of isolation
eyes turning round and around
the clock gets tired and the moonbeams drowse
a soul was destined to go astray
in a world unknown for love
..gone were all the moments
of happiness in heaven gone wild
and the feet crumbled on blood stained
winding road that point to nowhewre
a heart was shattered broken crying for
another love? but no hands extended..
there were just moans and wailings from beyond
coming from dead stars and galaxies that were long ago gone
to oblivion and unwanted memories of
a love gone sour..
there was an
explosion of muted silence and war began
between the mind and the heart..
another man was lost
and footprints on the sands of time
were washed away by ravaging waves
of life..of love
unknown to an uncaring soul
lost and will never be found
in a crazy world of imaginations,
where hearts never known what love is is all about
..forever lost..

My heart beat
It all seems like today
Ages have passed by…
My heart missed a beat
When I first saw you
When you stretched out your hand
When you spoke to me first
When you said you look good
When you stood talking for hours
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I met you
When we started dating
When we went on shopping
When we spent time in each other’s company
When we were in each other’s arms
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I wanted to say something
When you found that life was miserable
When you thought I should live with you
When you enjoyed my company
When you proposed to me
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I felt your love
When we first had a talk
When we had a long walk
When we never heard the waves on the shore
When we knew we loved each other
My heart missed a leap
My heart missed a leap
When I lost words
When you found them for me
When you touched me first
When you blew in my ears
When you kissed me first
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I saw the ring
When we decided
When we finalized things
When we knew everything was fine
When we heard the revolt
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I saw you parents
When you said your mother’s decision
When you were thinking twice
When you wanted to satisfy both
When your thoughts wavered
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I understood you
When we decided to go ahead
When we said this is the right time
When we told our friends
When we held hands
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I became your wife
When you were all to myself
When you said you love me lots
When you and your mother accepted me
When you became my world
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I knew a life in me
When we realized the fact
When we understood our culmination’s fruit
When we were to be too proud
When we heard a heart in me
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I first heard them cry
When you saw with sparkling eyes our babies
When you said they resemble me
When you said I am now a proud father of two
When you said I love you for this
My heart missed a beat
My heat missed a beat
When I heard them call me mom
When we were proud parents
When we shared happy moments
When we saw them grow
When we heard good things about them
My heart missed a beat
My heart missed a beat
When I knew it was time for marriages again
When you said just both of us now
When you saw me with love
When you said you look young still
When you whispered I love you
My heart missed a beat
You are a part of me
Even in our ripe old age
My heart beats only for you from day one
The day yours stop so will mine stop
For my heart beats only for you…
It all seems like today
Ages have passed by…

Someone's Heart
sounds never heard, words never spoken, eyes that never see, feeling never felt, someone's heart forever melts,
love never returned, passion never givin, pleasure never shown, something someone's heart will never know,
tears always felt, pain always known, sorrow that never goes away, for someone's heart that knows it very well, someone's heart is broken, someone's heart is never missed, someone's heart will mend,
someone's heart will never love again, someone's heart will never trust again and want to love, someone's heart never felt and my heart forever melts.

Silence (Part I)
Sometimes I see you as my child,
Sometimes I see you as my sweetheart,
And when I look into your eyes,
I see that tender and sweet smile,
And I want to say what’s in my heart,
And I want to tell you how I feel,
But my voice remains there, still,
And I just stare at your loving face,
And let the love from my heart,
Flow like a wild river in furious race,
to enfold your sweet and pure soul
with a sea of love and tenderness.
Sometimes there’s so much to say,
but nothing flows from my lips,
And only silence is there to stay,
And only the silence I should keep,
Because what I had to say was already said,
How words could express
never-ending love and tenderness?
How could I just say at one time,
I love you more than my own life?
And there remains the deep silence,
Silence and more silence,
to signal that divine presence,
of my silent love; my heart’s essence.
But this silence is not empty silence,
when divine love fills all my senses,
when nature’s beauty colours your soul,
and fades away all pity and woe.
Because when there is silence,
you can hear the silent language,
the heavenly music of my heart’s song,
God’s eternal music He’s been playing all along,
And in that silence you’ll hear my song,
The endless tune that my love sings,
with the sweetest notes in your luscious dreams,
which eternally flow like endless streams.
(2009)

Till ThTime
TILL THE TIME
Don’t’ leave me all alone
Emotions are wind blown
Lost is the soul in loneliness
Wandering in shadows of darkness
Searching for light of love
In words of song to groove
Hold me in your loving arms
Till the time my arctic heart warms
Bound I am by my feeling
Keep my passion from reeling
You are the only one I got
Come back to me in trot
Searching for light of love
In your touch of approve
Hold me in your loving arms
Till the time my arctic heart warms
Time only breaks the heart
Time only pulls us apart
Time only builds doubts
Time only brings regrets

Pain Of Love
I promised myself I would not cry
the i heard your voice
the tenderness therein
words I've not hear for several days
undue pressure on me
to keep you away
tradition before love and happiness
my heart melted at your tenderness
your words of love came so easily
" i love you with all my being;
I've never loved this way before
you are my life
my forever
i see you in my daily dreams
you are the only one for me'
away came the barrier, i've created over several days
tears flowing freely…
sobbing...
i promised myself i would not cry,
i've missed you
miles away yet so close our tears of love...
our heartbeats one rhythmic beat
no negative input of blood can come between
i love you because my soul knows yours...

All Is Lost.
As rain starts glistening
All is lost.
As blood spills from the veins of those who are unsuspecting
All is lost.
Sad as may be
All is lost.
Tears pour from my wet eyes, then
All is lost.
All is lost in the shadows
As time passes me by
All is lost.
His eyes went gray, his skin faded pale
My love is lost.

Lyin Eyes
I can tell, just by the look
In your eyes, that the love is gone, that I once took
So much has changed in the way you live
I bet theres nothing left that you can ever give
The words of a madman are spoken
I guess Im not the only one
The heart of a sadman is broken
Eyes, lyin eyes
You can fool anyone without disguise
Eyes, lyin eyes
Your look is cold as ice
Its in your blood, it floats in your veins
I sacrify myself but all I feel is pain
Youve done me wrong, youve been so bad
But its the last time a battle is lost
Where Im the one whos sad
The words of a...
Eyes, lyin eyes...
I wish youd die, I wish youd break down and cry
I wish youd move and then I know Id be satisfied
Cant you see Im on the edge, I cant look down
Is it me whos lost and never found

Travel My Soul
You can look into my eyes and travel
It to the depths of my soul
A beauty which will never grow old.
I will not only tell you I love you
I will show you I love you.
Follow the pulsating blood through my veins
Taking you to my soul.
Once in my soul you will see, that the love
We have for each other, was meant to be.
You’ll see the fireworks exploding in my heart
As you would a shooting star across the sky.
For this love would never die.
My love courses through my veins
Like the rivers that course thru the lands.
The beauties are enjoyed by everyone
Wanting to touch it and travel its never ending course.
But you are the captain of this ship
And you can go to any destiny your heart desires.
Travel my veins to my head, just so that you can see
My thoughts, emotions, my memories.
As the stars are to the sky, the moon to the earth
The sun to the land, giving new life birth.
You are the days, the nights, the food to my soul
And you are the one, that I long to hold.
If you tire of the travel and would like to
Give my heart a test.
I will be there, to put your heart to rest.

You Are Everything
you are everything the sun, the sky, the stars above
you have given me an eternal love.
because of you i have been able to see
all the things in life that can be.
you've shown me that true love starts from the heart
and spreads throughout your soul
it is a wonder to behold.
i love you now more than words can say
and in my heart forever you will stay.
you are everything that a person could want.
and i thank the lord up above
for this precious love.
and when i go to bed at night
a vision of you will be in plain sight.
(and to me thats perfectly alright)
you are everything to me
and from your love
i don't care to be set free.

Blood on My Heart
I have loved and found loving kind
Until I found myself waiting
And the waiting never seemed to end
The love I felt grew on my soul
Weighted me to this earth
Till I could not stomach it anymore
And looked to cut myself free
It hurt like I had never been told
How could I expect to find this
I never knew the pain of love
Until I first fell into it
Now I just want to forget everything
But there is blood on my heart
Of a dying love how do wash it free
I had love and enjoyed loves company
Till it treated me so unkind
Do I still believe that love is real
Do I believe that its out there for me
I have no answer while I look down
At the blood on my heart

Early Works - Is It The Love In Me
Sadness is showing in my eyes
deep within the softness of the night.
Is it love I feel
or an illusion
of something that could never be real?
My heart is bouncing like a spring
as echoing in my ears are bells
chiming in concession with each other,
but how can this be
love should never come to me.
The confessions of my mind
delude my sense of reason
that it has built a myth within heart,
a falsity of fragments t
hat falsify the true facts of love and life.
Knowing love is a once in a lifetime thing
I know only sadness, it will never come to me.
My life is lost
in the boundaries
where romantics lie
in the solitude of tranquillity
where only the sounds of passion herald
near the wayward tombs of love
and only the sounds of sleeping
elude the silence of the night.
Encrusted in a velvet sky
are diamond shaped gleams of stars in the heavens
and a gold crusted ball of light - the moon,
which is said to be
a lovers light of peace and tranquillity,
but like all symbolic features of love
it has a falsity to fact,
for lovers need no moon to love
and much prefer when it is lacked.
Though all these falsities
are based on things of my past.
Could love be real?
Can it really last?
Or is my imagination taking over
my heart, my mind, my body, my soul, and my life
or is it love that has me in its grasp.
My mind tells me to deny the fact,
my heart wants me to believe it,
and so in my conquest of heart and mind
I believe my heart and fall for you.
Its all right for me,
but you - you are afraid
that I will hurt you.
In this confession,
my heart and my mind give a promise.
Never to break your heart
for I find you are the only one I love.
These words are from the heart,
not from the mind
and tell of the true deep feeling.
Although I fell I cannot tell you,
my feeling do not count
and once again like every time before
the priceless thing in life I must forfeit
as it seems my destiny is to live without love.

A Painful Love
If I became crippeled or maimed
Would I have your love or just your pity?
Would you cherish and take care of me?
Or would you put me in a nursing home?
And go on with your life, as if I never existed
I would never want your, pity only your love
If I should ever become that way, just let me die
Your love so cruel, hardly ever a touch
In my time of need, when I love you so much
You turn away from me, as if a polite stranger
But it must be love, because I feel no danger
You don't beat me or abuse me, so it's got to be love
There is no tenderness or any understanding
Just day to day living as two polite strangers
I love you I do, my heart beats only for you
Is our love just so hopeless or is there a chance
That we can find our way back to each other again
Sleeping in the same bed so lonely and cold
If loneliness could kill I'd already be dead
Am I not worthy of your love as i once was?
You break my heart over and over again
You can't even see the pain I endure
The pain of the awful silence when we are together
Can't talk to you all alone with my pain
You say if you didn't love me, I wouldn't be here
But if I left I wouldn't be missed or looked for
My heart is dying inside, and you can't even see
So once more I love for nothing in return
Why do I try so hard to make you love me?
So i'll not leave, live without love just companionship
I'll pretend everythings ok, and love won't matter anymore
You didn't even know when I died inside
Going through the motions of acting alive
I feel such great pain over so much from the past
You can't see the many scars I carry inside
You weren't there, their buried deep in my mind
I don't blame you if you don't want to love me
I wouldn't want to love me either!

Convictions
You believe in the mystery of cards falling,
a star jumping by in the dark sky
tealeaves that you stir,
that happiness is just around the corner
and I see the flame
dancing in your eyes that are much deeper than mere passion.
You tell stories about heroes and heroines,
try to thresh out your dreams
diligently are looking for Eden, heaven and the hell
and I believe everything that you tell me,
also that you love me with your soul
although you have other boyfriends in between.
You believe in an almighty God
whose mighty envoys guard every life
and that nothing can estrange a person from Him,
that if you lift your eyes
your words go through time and space
and that He intervenes on request
and I believe in the power
lying between your loins
and the pleasure that I see in your eyes
if you like a noble flower
fold around me and I hear your heart beat
when we embrace each other.
Just like yours my faith is implacably strong
as it is grounded on something noble
and the indescribable things between us
and when passion is swept by
care, tenderness and love remains
that lies unfathomable between us.

Silence Echos
Silence
makes my heart break
Silence
Love, does not make
Silence
Was it all just a terrible mistake?
Silence
Was love just a game, just fake?
Silence
Leaves me heartbroken
Silence
Kills he feeling behind words unspoken
Silence
has is a shield you hide behind
Silence
Guards what's on your mind
Silence
Chills your heart's sound
Silence
Love cannot silently be found
Silence
has turned your dreams blind
Silence
is darkness in which you cannot find
Silence
Crushes the hopeful feelings that were kind
Silence
Of emptiness it did remind
Silence
Silence took all I sought to find
Silence
Silence was hurtful and unkind
Silence
Will kill love before it ripens on the vine
Love will go silently
But it's lonely hurt will echo for all time

Perfection
I found perfection in her smile,
Her golden strands of hair,
Her peachy lips I'd kiss a while,
If we had time to spare.
I found her beauty matched her style,
The clothes she chose to wear...
Upon her heart, meant to beguile,
With love beyond compare...
I found perfection in her eyes,
Like twinkling stars of light...
And in the stirring of my sighs
And love's great appetite...
Yet most of all, I realise,
Beyond her teeth so white,
Her mouth speaks words so worldly wise,
That doubts in her take flight.
I found perfection in her heart,
She says beats now for me...
As if she's struck by Cupid's dart
And filled with ecstacy...
What mysteries love can impart
To spirits fancy free...
I found perfection from the start
And all eternity...

Ask My Meaning
My meaning clearly courses through the veins
With surging blood and momentous occasion.
The arteries feed our bodies with fluid so meaningful,
Open the doors of life, the valves of your heart.
May we be blessed by these monuments, these objects
So solid and fought over, fraught with difficulty.
Watchers of the heavenly abode are reading thrice
The immediate danger of the world in union.
United we stand of course, bleeding our meaning
When the asking is conducted to aid mind and soul.

She's My Valentine.....Mom
Mom, I love you unpredictably,
And miss you so much,
Nobody can understand that
More than you.
Please you'll forgive me
For the lose of words,
And bonquet for this time,
To express how much special you're!
And always will be.
For it was you,
Who taught me
Love and tenderness,
You've always been there
For me, Mom,
You've always shown that
You love me so much,
There'll never be one in this world
That I'll love and love me to you,
That comes close to having your touch,
The wisdom from your words are,
The knowledge from your heart,
Is somethin' that could never be bought.
I sit here in tears 'cuz I'ven't yet hold on the
Life of freedom which I sought,
Forgive me for anytime I disappointed,
Or in the slightest let you down,
But I'll always remember somethin' I learned,
It's thanks to you mom now,
I've found,
I've found I've been blessed by
Allah just to have you mom,
I now begin to ride towards my destiny,
You planned for me,
And be the son you can be proud of,
And smile proudly about anyday.
I love you so much, Mom,
You're my valentine, mom,
It's your voice I missing,
It's like an angle from above,
And I'm hoping that someday soon,
I can show you, mom,
Just how so much you're loved, Mom.

Must Be Loved
you are late
nothing left
the room is shut
nothing be heard
must be loved
she so pure and sweet
innocent angel
to care this world
but no love she has
mirror was broken
no tears shown
the grass sing along
no words be found
must be loved
she has stars in her eyes
hope and light
she gives so much heart
but love she not enough
