Truth. Poems

An order that isn't

What causes one to feel this way?  

 
lack of control over every emotion, like you’ve fallen from a cliff
out and in goes the air through your lungs as you barely breathe 
vexed heart rate – feeling like you’re experiencing arrhythmia 
every whisper and flutter is seen, even if it’s just you in the

On the fatherhood

It's difficult to define a father precisely
So, let's imagine how a father would be
A father may be figuratively similar to these:
A starting point, a fulcrum, a roof, a piece of land
A mountain, a sky, a star, a beam of sunshine
A lamp, a mirror, a book, a guide,a set of minds, 
...
I reckon a father can

Windfall

You were so loud,
shootin’ off your mouth,
’bout why the world sh-ts on you,
talkin’ old tropes
thought up by filthy dopes,
that never once were proven true.
You stood so proud,
but, man, where are you now?
Living in a poor rat trap.
Say you’re oppressed,
don’t bother to get dressed,
think government should ‘pay you back.’

Sad to say, we worked and you played,
we’re

Unwavering Before Eternity

Death's Shadow creeps across the wall 
Where memories of triumph Stand tall 
Each scar tells stories of battles won 
Each breath echoes choice made, undone.

The ledger of our days is closed 
Accounted for in every pose 
No whispered no apologies sought 
No trembling knees, no faltering thought. 

Before the throne of judgment high 
We stand

Premium MemberFighting Falsehood

     Fighting falsehood with mere truth is
         a losing proposition
     The public clamors for the popular position 

     The underdog has it all his way today

Premium MemberSilent Times

In dead silence, there’s a sound,
noiseless and yet profound.
Deeds provoking, not quite just,
from tainted minds that think, “we must.”

What a precious gem if caught,
the divinity of thought.
To control the human heart,
that takes something very smart.

Some may think the silence means
no one hears, or so it seems.
But there is the speechless word
in the spirit that is

A Very Bad Day

When I arose one day, I could barely walk.
Had to drink my coffee before I could talk.

Before I was done, the bathroom would call,
I held the grab bar, but still managed to fall.

The shower beckoned me, so I went on in.
I slipped on the soap, and bruised my shin. 

Later I was hungry, so in

I Got Energy Always from Your Verse

Your words arrive like dawn’s first flame,
A gentle spark, yet never tame.
They touch the chords I guard with care,
And lift my soul through open air.

The maps I hide, the dreams I keep,
Awake within me from their sleep.
Your verse reminds me light must flow,
To those whose hearts will help it grow.

I see the mirrors you have

Reason of Creation of Universe

God created universe for the love of Muhammad
Created sun and moon for the desire of Muhammad

Said be and was universe, written all from start to end
Recited Quran as a whole, for the glory of Muhammad

All saints had come, to mosque their faces daubed 
Said word of testament, for the noor of Muhammad

Companions had conquered, next

Premium MemberA Purposeful Life

As children life is just a game we play,
Learning new lessons as we live each day.
Year after year as we grow and mature,
We sense that there’s more than to just endure.

We must have a purpose and not just fun,
Something worthwhile to pass on when we’re done.
Something to show others, we understand,
Encouraging words to be all

Premium MemberI’m fine

How are you doing?

You ask but quickly move on
not waiting for my answer ~
You ask not really wanting to know.

The truth being you don't expect
to hear how I am feeling.
You ask but are quite
satisfied not knowing
so you can resume your fantasy
that I am fine.

The reality is that I'm trying
to hold back the flood gates
long enough
