all millions of miles apart
all so lonely
trying to outshine others
but dying in the process...

The stars outshine a pale moonbeam
We try in vain to touch our dream
We live each day
To hope and pray
We shall end it all with ice cream!...

surpass 
the past
go beyond 
limitations 
transcend 
the self that 
once existed 
long ago 
outshine 
the expectations 
that the past self
had set out 
for it's self 
to achieve...

Falling stars can fall unseen,
their descent defaced
by brilliant beams of sunlight;
expunged and erased.

And yet, come nighttime,
meteors outshine the stars,
their demise sublime....

Love, like the dawn, waits not for the certainty of noon.
It enjoys the gentle light of possibility. Like the spark in your heart, let not doubt dim the glow; embrace the warmth, for love’s courage will outshine any darkness....

May we be blessed to see how we’re all equal
no different than the stars up in the sky
and how when everything is said and done
we all shine a little brighter
when we don’t try to outshine each other
but learn to shine as one...

white infusion now the snow is melting,
paddling down south, 
handkerchiefs plaintive cry
tears in the pastures
Dawn down Munster
gathering shadows outshine
the walkway
through concrete glades
tall shadows smash silence
heralds the new day...

The girl smelled like 
Moonlit day, 
Ink spilled,
and old dusty book pages.
She looked as if she could
smile and outshine the moon.
But still,
she was just a girl.
A girl who smelled like,
Moonlit day,
Ink spilled,
and old dusty book pages....

One more glimpse

I saw your eyes among the stars
     a twinkling midnight dream
even the full moon could not outshine,
       and drifting on a comet’s tail
  I chased them across the universe
           hoping for just one more glimpse...

Branches billowing,
Churning with the wind,
The chill in the air,
Feels calming today,
You’re twenty years old,

I feel ancient,
You share my age,
But not stature,
You outshine me,

I feel time,
It jogs on,
Unceasing,

I’m here,
Willow,

Tree....

And don’t long for those things
By which Allah has made some of you
Outshine other human beings.
Men deserve the benefits from whatever they earn
And women deserve the benefits from whatever they earn
And ask for Allah’s blessings.
Surely Allah knows all things....

When I have fought that final fight,
And my journey on Earth is o’er,
I’ll enter a place of rest
With Jesus whom I adore.

Many mansions are awaiting there,
And one of them I know, is mine.
No home on this Earth can ever compare-
It’s beauty no Sun can outshine....

Stars twinkle above
overshadowed by the moon--
lovers hold their breath

Two hearts are beating
together like they are one
moonlight on her face 

He takes her hand
falls to bended knee
Will his ring outshine the moon?

Twinkle, Twinkle little star
how I wonder where you are 
up above the world so high 
the tiniest star in the sky 
you shine an glow so bright
that you outshine the moonlight 
The lonely star that sits above the 
clouds 
Waiting for you chance to 
sing out loud.....

Mirage suggested on the run
"Hydrate or be well-done, my son"
The ice cream rebelled,
The sunflowers yelled—
And the night couldn't outshine the sun!...

A garden, 
blooming 
and sea of 

beauties dancing in the smile of 

morn orb. The 
sexy posture of 
a rose 

stands afore, yet, her glow cannot

outshine 
the diamonds
rolling down 

on my cheeks, nor can solve 

the paradigm
of my day 
obscured— 

by your absence, my love!...

When you're down I'll hold you
Until you feel better,
I'll never let you go even if
The world crashes around us.

You are my calm in the storm,
You are my balance,
The very air I breathe,
You are my universe.

Nothing can outshine you,
Neither stars nor moon,
I'll always be here for you,
Just tell me I'm needed....

May the blessings of your birthday be upon you 

 May the light of each morning rise up to meet you

 May happiness glow like golden embers

 to outshine the brightest star

 May the warmth of the heart

 Join with the fellowship of love

Weaving it in our daily life

 Flowing endlessly till day is done....

Aristotle's  Poetics

Epic poets quite divine in seriousness of truth's glow,
In the world’s poetic distinctions compared to history,
In “Poetics”, Aristotelian logic did clearly show,
Poetry more divinely scientific than factual glory,
Poet truths outshine history’s particular knack for gory! 

For Brian Strand Contest...
