The Maze of Life

The maze of life



Rocked by the waves of emotions and reality,
I follow the rhythm far from conformity.
The cry of my soul overwhelmed by sorrow,
Praying for the hope of a better tomorrow.

The journey of life and its sharp end corners,
So often ignored are the foresight warners.
Who, with the wisdom gracefully acquired,
Guide the ones that the One inspired.

Some paths are wide…. some are narrow,
In some…  are set up traps in a row.
Resembling a maze fit with diversity,
Crossing paths with beings indulged in adversity.

The meaning of love is a foreign dream,
The test of kindness has drowned in a stream.
As for the humble notion of genuine care? 
Its essence foolishly outstripped … bare.

Ummi (Mom In Arabic)

Sometimes I think that it has been so long since your departure
I actually lived more years without you than with you
Even though I had to accept the unspeakable pain I went through
I ventured into stages of life and had since mature.

Ummi words will not be enough to tell you how much I miss you
I remember your sweet smell forever in me imprinted
The cuddles of your arms where I felt protected
Your beautiful smile brightening my horizon renews.

I was not finish loving you ummi!
As I grew up more and more, learning to know you
I felt getting closer and closer … step by step … I had walked a few
I wanted to become your closest ally so you could rely on me.

I wanted to protect, help and take care of you one day
As you had spent so much of your time caring for me and my siblings
Your only girl I was and connected to you even in my dreams
I was going to be there for you… undertaking your relay.

My tears are still flowing for you from my broken heart ummi
As you left suddenly, a tear ingrained in my soul
I cannot resolve the unfinished puzzle
As if that fateful day, you had left with a piece of me.

I will forever love you …you’re the sweetest ummi

Proposition of Morality

I have awakened myself rather consciously,
Like a rush or a cry of spirituality…
The focus in my mind set aimlessly…
We need a proposition of morality.

Barely even touched by the decadence,
Striking generations lost in a trance
Fabricated dreams packaged in abundance
Aware yet… unmoved by aberrance!

Immoral behavior launched in a trend,
Infecting the core of our society.
Multifaceted demons to such extend…
The downfall and sprain of our piety.

Pretending to oblige to humans pleasures,
Imposing one’s sight with waves of toxicity.
Showing off its pride without any measures,
Falsifying in style … in full complicity.

Covering up the heart so its eyes can’t see…
Rendering it so numb by anesthesia.
Closing up the channels conducting to Thee…
Deliberately injecting  doses of “amnesia”!

Just Passing By-

I blow through your hair,
My essence is air
I travel along
Thousand miles strong.

Shifting through the woods,
And trapped in the hoods
I whirl and whisk
Sometimes I frisk.

Brutal or gentle,
Often temperamental
I move and remove
Don’t need you to approve.

My only reason
To follow the season
Exercising my freedom
At random.

Gecko My Friend!

How could I forget?
Who am I not to remember?
As the little boy marched on with a gecko as pet,
Determined to let it go, by mid-September,

He took it away from the ornamental cage,
Covered it with a colorful piece of Chinese satin.
He started climbing up the mountain, covered with sage.
Gecko, to him, has always been a pet so special.

As day time vanished and dusk settled,
Little boy marched on, the journey half conquered,
Never has he felt that his time was wasted,
Gecko was worth all these hours being accumulated.

Once he had reached the enchanted place,
Right there amongst the tulips and lilies,
Under the watchful eyes of space,
With the moon and stars as accessories.

“There you go gecko”! “Here you won’t feel in abandon!”
Little boy glanced at his friend with tears in his eyes.
“I won’t forget you as long as my name is Brandon!”
He hugged his gecko tightly, and whispered farewell under the skies.

…… But the night was falling and Brandon had to leave…

A Moment To Ponder

Let your mind flow as free as the river grows! 
When the leaves appear again on the trees, 
And delicious scented flowers under the sun glow, 
You will see the rhythm from the hive as the bees, 
Get all in frenzy as winter disappears.

Did you ever wonder how it is all connected,
Were you ever amazed at the beauty of nature,
It is all by Allah (God) and His mercy projected,
And for us to embrace His Majestic Splendor,
By His Grace He gives us signs on which to ponder.

He... the Gentle Prophet

No one in our century… or the last crossed his path,
But so many people misjudge his character
In his 23 years mission, he had caught the ignorance’s wrath
They would not believe that he was the appointer.

The mystery of his life, started as an orphan,
The sadness of the loss at such a tender age
Fortunately his uncle, patriarch of the clan,
Raised up the little boy, full of love and courage

It was not before long until fate stroke again,
His beloved uncle passed away suddenly
Leaving behind him, his nephew and his pain,
The one that he had loved unconditionally.

The little boy grew up to become so special,
His illiteracy did not prevent his gifts
He did not renounce hope after all his trials,
The kindness of his heart satisfied his uplift.

His trusting character, soon earned him to be called
“The trusting one!” Which was one of his names.
 So many pure qualities, he was then entitled,
And chosen as a man of justice ascertain.

After maturity at the age of forty,
Clearly descended upon him the signs of his mission.
Like so many prophets of vision and clarity
He accepted his fate with a full submission.

He had all qualities that it would require,
To fully understand what it was all about.
Well aware of the ones who would soon conspire,
Against him like they did to the pious and devout.

The prophet of men believed in God’s power,
To never abandon the ones He had chosen.
To spread the message of His Might and answer
All the cries and sorrow of His creation of men.


As injustice continues in our days and age,
Without even knowing half of what has been said,
Ignorance is a plague, the hearts it would ravage,
Blind to comprehension of the noble mission … 

Of prophet Mohamed!

Life's Balance

Standing alone against the wind,
When the earth shakes its last tremors
With such a force, break down a spin
Grabbing our lives and all tresors.

Who knows what is grumbling within?
Mainly focusing on the exterior
Then when comes the truth out of its skin
No one comprehends the full power.

It’s a matter of watching and learning 
The life in cycle repeats itself
Giving a break … a pause…observing
Tuning our sensors to more than one’s self.

Life’s balance’s sensitive to touch
An atom’s worth of excess or greed
Would make it lose its grace as such
Leaving us no provisions … no seeds.

Destitution of Humanity

My children! Oh my children! Peace to you is a foreign name.
Your land is torn apart every minute … every second.
They have made you orphans without any shame.
Justifying their crime … by fatalistic reason.

Your everyday life made out of misery.
One can not understand without living it.
Access to water, bread or electricity
Became a struggle … the world ignoring it.

They have bombed you to pieces, not even washing your stains.
Along with your lands … your means of living
Building their settlements … covering up your remains.
The world over watching … and not  reacting.

In your land you have lost all your rights.
Even to bring life in dignity
Mothers in labor, forbidden to get a pass
Losing their own lives … along with the baby.

And the list can go on…
More than often falling in deaf ears
The thought in my mind for so long
The outbreak of my helplessness … and tears.
