As I was sleeping , I saw Sura yako
You started to call me and said ," kwanini Hivyo?"
I was so surprised to see how you were mweye furaha Sana,
And so bright like moon in macho Yangu.
Remember, I won't leave you to go Hovyo hovyo.
I am always think about you , Mupendwa.
Because you are my valuable Kipendwa.
May God Leeza continue Kutubariki
As He did to ancestors Wetu.
Our wedding day will be Mushangazo
To say many folks will be," hau ...hay ...hau"
Don't think otherwise, you are moyoni Mwangu,
Even Yahweh is my Shahidi,
Be always good and kind to Watu
in this dunia
Shukrani.

Buthaynah Adara: Shy smile and ghostly beauty.
You’re an enigma to me.
If I spoke your language, maybe then I’d know your mind,
But reading your expression leaves the feeling undefined.
Buthaynah Adara: Dark silence, nervous laughter.
You know just what I’m after.
I’ve been to the stable, and, as if you weren’t aware,
It’s plain to tell your horses sense there’s something in the air.
Buthaynah Adara: Gold trinket, precious flower,
Twelfth Sura, sunset hour.
Douse your votive lantern so the moon can share what’s his.
Your perfect imperfection makes perfection what it is.
Sanskrit Transliteration:
asita giri-samam syat kajjalam sindhu-patre
sura-taruvara-shakha lekhani patram urvi |
likhati yadi grhitva sharada sarva-kalam
tat api tava gunanam isha param na yati ||
- from shiva-mahimna stotram by Pushpadantam
Per chance if words vie mounts high,
Ink flows in like Sindhu River,
Writing pen’s made of choicest tree,
Whole Earth be a writing paper,
Goddess of Learning were to write
For an endless long time,
E’en then O Lord of cosmic might,
It’s hard, prowess of thine to prime.

Has come the Titli*
Taken away deadly
Muddled nature
Startled the entire
Titli, although little bird
As Ababil* attacked hard
Oh! We couldn't guard!

Titli*- Cyclonic Storm Titli was a strong tropical cyclone that devastated parts of Andra Pradesh and Odisha in India
Ababil*- Ababil refers to the miraculous birds mentioned in Sura 105 of the Quran that protected the Ka'ba in Mecca from the Aksumite elephant army of Abraha
Partir c'est mourir un peu..
Att skiljas är att dö en smula.
Av barn, fyllon och dårar får man höra sanningen.
Det är bäst att bita i det sura äpplet.
Den dagen, den sorgen.
The Story Begins
I remember long ago of night time kisses
Full of desire and apprehension, that you would disperse
You proclaimed your love, into my ear
I slept alone, the brisk cold hiding my fear
I would talk of dreams and foreign places
You begged me to go on and fulfill your dreams
Grand Manier nights , sad morning rays
Long gone was my love with golden hair
Daniel was not her lover
Under starry nights she held him close
I was nothing more than a friendly stranger
That he adored, and the son I never had
St Adolph would be my tormentor
On horses we rode in blankets of snow
Towards our destinies apart
Our fireplace of passion, we soon would depart
Like the brothers of Seville
I too was caught between two worlds
She would leave my heart in the cold of the rivers edge
From this day I became one of the walking dead
How would the world react,
too the verity of Al-'Alaq?
Would the unbelievers believe,
would the dissenters assent,
would combatants humble thyselves?
I've seen the bloodstone,
i've held it many times...
i've written about it...discreetly,
in a short series called,Laskrizon,
many have quested,many have questioned,
but,the one thing you cannot
........is doubt,
once you behold it's wonderful uniqueness...
