Eyes that tear with joy
I love how her body speaks
Gut that pangs worrying

Waves

Deeds from the hearts depths
Ripples far and deep make waves
Selfish shallow acts

Builds social bridges
A profound kind act is "LIKE"
Reinforces pride

Look at the world with both eyes
Scientist define

Your frame of reference guides

On the shores of life
Value each wave of people
Swashed away by time

Focussed on their faults
Change yourself and change the world
Their success distracts

Droplets make oceans
There's beauty in unity
Forces that form stars

Suspicion

Proof's no guarantee
Suspicion's a bitter fruit
Belief needs no proof

Freedom!

Freedom is a rope
An umbilical to some
Others hang themselves

athousandwordsplus

A thousand words plus
Numbers, letters and symbols
To paint a picture

Weapons rule the world
Restraint's the best show of strength
Words that stab the soul

Social conduct

Convincing the dead
Noble conduct wins true hearts
The expelled don't hear

Patience

You're a lump of coal
Patient under pressured heat
Like a diamond

Seeds sown in Winter
Good places bloom good Islam
Battle field harvest

Japan

Japan's our right hand
Our beautiful expression
Disabled without

Having faith

Think I'm boxed in faith?
I found the hypotenuse!
We all want some more...

The good wife

On her hands and knees
Anything to not be cursed
She's ready to please

Earth (Peace be upon her)

Canada's her crown
Adorned with thousands of lakes
Inlaid with seasons

Balance

Saw the bad in Yin
Life is best lived in Lagom
Saw the good in Yang

The Truth

Liars utter truths
Question not who's right, but what
The righteous have lied

Islam

Pulled by worldly wants
I found grounding in Islam
Pushed by desires

Mending smile (MChantaleC)

Thread of light at dawn
Stiching together lifes quilt
Her smile's beaming warmth

Measuring Sincerity

Sacrifice will hurt
Sincerity's measurement
Good acts out weigh bad

Paradox

Life's a paradox
We live in inertia
Choose prayer to change

Compass

Man is no compass
Misguided by some degree
Watch where you're going

Pendulum

Emotions move us
It's like a clocks pendulum
Life gets me ticking

Sunday, 1 May 2011

Reason

Done good for the world
No benefit for your soul
Swaying intentions

My love

In search of greatness
I passed by many great things
Love you're the greatest

My sheikh

Oh sheikh you're a book
Knowledge paves paths to good deeds
A book on the shelf

Learning to walk

I lost my balance
How else can I move forward
Steps to gain knowledge

Top of the world

Climbing to the top
Focus on how close you are
Forget the long drop

Mother

She's beauty complete
Strong like the current in time
She's maternal love

Hardship

I bathe in hardship
It cleanses me of my sins
The tarnished gets shone

The Artist and the Canvas

Face to face they stand
Projecting one another
Beauty from beauty

NbF

It takes just one look,
Into deep oceans you'll fall,
The darkness your grave.

Nature

Soft as a whisper
It speaks of Master and slave
Cool and comforting

The Veil (The Hijab)

Earth hides her treasures
Anything of value's veiled
Oysters conceal pearls

On Haiku

Haiku speak volumes
Three lines of five seven five
Perfect like seasons
