God in the Heart

They say home is where the heart is.
But God is where the heart is.
So where is home? I hope I find you someday.

Mirror Vision

 


I see myself
Meek with hidden song
Angelic and soft
Smiling at myself
Singing to myself

Snow Falls


knife in my back 

prepared attack 

you've got me backed 

into a corner 


a woman scorned

from love forlorn

her body's burned

better send her to the coroner


Light, Love, 

Mercy's Calling

Light, Love....

 is all around

 But like the snow you're falling


bullet in the gun

you said you wanted fun

i'm not that kind of girl

i'm queen of my own world


so go ahead and shoot

better me or you?

I'll be seeing you

Where the cold sky 

sends men crawling


Light, Love

Mercy's Calling

Light, Love....

 is all around

 But like the snow you're falling

Dreams That Come True

 


The dreams that come true,
Are not always the ones you wish to
Sometimes they're the darkest dreams
Where you're looking for your light
In a town of run down Bamboo Houses
And you just can't seem to find
That one camel made out of Gold

In A Style Clark Gable Would Have Admired... I Thought It, Classic.



Soul Spark, We Meet Again...

 


As if my soul knew I'd find you there for one moment.
Although you didn't notice me until it was too late.
I'm not sure we will ever see each other again...
But in that moment I felt that love is real.
& I know love is greater than us both.

Midnight Fireflies

 


In the past, I recall dreams of the midnight fireflies.

I'm always moving from one place to another, and it is always darkness around me.

I'm searching for light and for fireflies.

I guess I never once thought of those dreams coming true.

Now I realize the fireflies are the people I've ever known

And their light comes and goes

They fly on as the night turns to day

And I have no light of my own...

So I'm always out catching fireflies.

Just so I can know light in some way...

Golden Ticket to Heaven

 Once upon a moon so blue,

The lord sent you to a city, new

To remind you of a familiar soul

To humble you before you're old.

There you met a fragile heart

Just looking for a new life start

And there you had a chance to be

An example for humanity

You could've been a helping hand

Instead, you offered words of sand

You could've had a ticket ride

To heaven shining in the sky.

Instead your head was looking high

In pride, never lowered your eyes

To see the world was at your feet

that golden ticket - it could be sweet

Humble Azan

 


The morning comes
The humble azan
Fills the room
Of empty temples

Not too loud
And not too sweet
Humble in sound
To cure the air

Two souls sit
And meet for prayer
On time for
Our Creator

A night's worth of sins
Forgotten
In One
Small Moment

The humble azan
Dries the tears of
Midnight's sorrows

The humble azan
Clears the pages
And starts anew

The humble azan
A moment
Without Judgment

The humble azan
A warrior
In Allah's sight.

Don't Let It Slip Away...

 


Say something loving
I just don't remember the thrill of affection
I just don't remember
Say something loving
I need a reminder, the feeling's escaped me...

I Am, Forgiving

I Forgive Them
 
For when they have taken my shirt, I have given them also my under garments.
When they robbed me of my innocence, I gave unto them also my jar's honey.
& When they have emptied my belly, unto them still has gone my money.

My Love, Myself

 


Dear My Love Myself,

If I could go back in time to be your hero, I would.
I'd save you from all the liars in the world, that your
naive heart ever believed. I'd save you from all the
villains that caused violence to your heart and I'd
even save you from myself. From the parts of me
you would have never thought could ever be me.

Dear My Love Myself,

For the sake of that little girl heart that still fights.
I have to chosen forgive all transgressors who have
cut me from my path, left me naked, bruised me,
and shamed me from my innocence. I have for my
own self chosen to forgive and to let go of those
who still hold grudges against me up until this day. 

Love,

Myself

In The World You Can't Live Without

 

As all things must surely have to end
The great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floating, far above the clouds
Some children laughed I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd live forever
But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
In the world you can't live without

Watching Love Grow, Forever Letting Me Know


 This is why events unnerve me

They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she ask's the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
Word will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time.

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time.

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever, forever
Watching love grow, forever
Letting me know, forever.

dreamer


 he will never see through the blue of your eyes
never take surprise to the far wind or sunset
he isn't made of it - he's a dreamer, he says


then why not dream bigger? i ask

If I Could, I Would



If I could manifest someone to love me 

So I would...

This lonely heart has been waiting for so long.

I almost don't even know what it feels to be human anymore.


No one Knows me but Creator


I'm like a dead battery

Or a flower that's dried out

Even down to the roots

& the very core of me

I am starved


I once thought I was a seed to something great

But some days I feel as a rotten fruit

Doomed to be cut down

Incapable of change


& Never able to finish anything I have ever started in my life.


For how can you learn to finish anything in life


When you never learned how to begin?

Someone I'll Never Be




 It's so hard wanting to be (good) ... something I will never be.


It's hard knowing what's right in a world where most don't know truth.


I know my heart and I know what I wanted...


What I wanted is like a dream of a past life when this world is so different.


It is nothing how I imagined this life to be.

My Last Quarter

 


i'd use my last quarter to write you a letter

but you used yours to write someone better

Fair Neighbor



goodbye, fair neighbor
although i loved you so
just like the seasons change
the tides, they come and go

goodbye, fair neighbor
although i felt that spark
and imagined us something
more like a card at hallmark

goodbye, fair neighbor
although i saw the future
our last moment spent together
undoing past lives' sutures

goodbye fair neighbor,
although we may meet again
somewhere between now and then
in a far off distant land



assalam alaikom wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
