Adam of Love and Faith

Adam of Love
barely knew what to put 
in black and white
with the Light in his heart
the dark able to look through.
A man of wealth
warmth and tenderness
the precious kernels of his soul.
A smile grew from his ribs
revealing inner rarity and creed.
Nature, his ancestors and his
in nature my Adam
so loving, so caring, so sweet.
Adam of Faith
in his prayers, Allah he never failed
imbued with a stainless strong belief.
Words of God dwell in his feelings
many a time overflowed into tears
reaching out for his deeds.
Adam of my heart
ever my words would me betray
to draw and paint your portrait
magic colours yet didn’t find their way
to meet your beauty
Dad, apple of my soul.

Hi Besma, Your opulent and revered way that your write of both Adam and your Father displays a depth of faith not all can reach. I majored in Religious studies and in my honours year, my thesis was on the spirituality of the Holy Book. You are an amazing woman, teacher, poetess and poetry friend all wrapped into one! Be blessed Besma! xoxo, Jennifer.

A most beautiful tribute poem which touches our heart and soul, Besma. From Adam's rib a woman came to life...a father also contributes to the birth of a child, in this case the poetess who praises the attributes of this special person. ~ Warm regards, dear friend. // paul

A heartfelt prayer in honor of Adam of love, faith, and heart. Your depiction feels spiritual and peaceful..loving and caring. Especially the tribute in the end to Dad is touching, but so is the entire poem. Feelings well portrayed, Besma.
