Hi there,

 

LadyFatima,

 

Lol, for sure it will be an honour to invite you if there is a wedding

 

Silent_Guy,

 

Bro i will post that poem to the Somaliaonline.com soon insha-allaah. If possible i would tranfer all the poems posted from somalinet to somaliaonline.com, coz i can't access somalinet forums from my IP address.

 

Bother, i am not Ukma9 but we know each other and leave in the same. We are two different individuals.

Woow you guys! Jamaal-11 and Idil

good collections...I dont dig poems that much although once in while i find one or two that captures my heart. Enjoy this one it is a fav of mine.

 

 

I love you not only for what u are

But for what I am when i'm with you

 

I love you not only for what you have

made of yourself but you are making of me

 

I love you for puttin you hand into my

heaped up heart and passing over all

the foolish weak things you cant help

dimly seeing there, and drawing out in

the light all the beautiful belongings that

no one else had looked quite far enaugh to find.

 

I love you because you are helping me to

make of the lumber of my life not a

tavern but a temple, out of the work of

my every day life not a reproach but a song

 

I love you because you have done more

than any creed could have done to

make me good and more happy than

any fate could have done to make

me happy

 

You have done it without a touch, without

a word, without a sigh;

 

You have done it by being yourself.

 

Perhaps that is what being a freind means,

after all.

UNKNOWN.

Hibo   

She attracts every one like a peacock

 

No passerby can resist have a glance

 

Having a glimpse of her makes our day

 

When she talks we hear her from the hearts

 

Her voice is for the hearts not for the ears

 

The shyness with the smile have no match

 

She's unique in her own style and looks

Dedicated to the Nomad Queens

Hibo   

ASalaamu Alaikum

 

lol Lady F, don't worry girl, ama make u maid of honour...that is if u can wait for lets say another 15 or so yrs lol...i've been told that ama marry when i'm in my late or mid 30's ( i guess i'm still mummy's lil girl...althugh my sister is gettin married and she is only 20)

 

My mother...words can not express what I feel for her...she's been through so much for me, wallahi when I think about doing somethin i think to myself...how will hooyo feel...if its good, then i go ahead with it...if its bad then lol i resist the temptation alhumdullilah biggrin.gif

 

Jamaal don't worry, my mother is the greatest Queen I've ever met... smile.gif

 

Most honored guest within this heart of mine

Your shadow cast reflections of like kind

An entrance to this cherished part of me

Would beckon one who searched, yet did not see

 

Fruitless pain and sorrow leave

Inside these vessel walls that bleed

New life exchanged between two souls

As diamonds strewn from darkened coals

 

Breathe life so deeply from each beat

Take all you need to feel complete

In leaving, should you lose our way

Another beat would draw you, stay

 

Go forward to another page

As lines recited on a stage

Another chapter turned and read

Sustaining words to now be said

 

Hold not your true identity

Tell of your love and solemnly

To make a vow and keep it pure

Gives hearts a reason to endure

 

 

lol Najmah...i loved the second line wink.gif

 

Thx Silent guy and Baydan smile.gif

Hibo   

Thank you IDIL, you assured me of what to expect.

 

Fruitless pain and sorrow leave

Inside these vessel walls that bleed

New life exchanged between two souls

As diamonds strewn from darkened coals

 

This section of the poem moved me IDIL, "Inside these vessel walls that bleed, New life exchanged between two souls, As diamond strewn from darkened coals"

 

Do u mean this with what i think u mean?

Hibo   

Hey Jamaal & Idil.. I see poetry folks down here as well... its cool.. if u haven't yet figured this is Hibo_The_Original... so here I will add one of favorite poems... enjoy it:

 

These callused hands have a history..

You look at my picture on your computer screen..

And you say how beautiful...

How sweet...

I tell you my friend.

These callused hands have a history...

You see,

The picture doesnt show the pain my soul has lived.

My eyes have grown accustomed,

To living in this surrounding darkness.

You just see my face...a beautified mask..

You dont see the sweat,

That pours down my pores each day...

As I struggle to live each day...

You dont see the scabs on my rough small hands...

From the endless miles I travel....

Dont see the feet...

That I thank God have had no feeling since they were created.

You dont see that.

You dont see the small body,

That everyone deems as fragile.

When the only thing fragile..is my heart.

You dont see the pride that has been torn only to be rebuilt..

With walls around it.

You dont see the heart that has been broken too many times...

By the people that should of always been there.

You dont see the heart I almost threw away...

With a bottle of pills...

You dont see that.

You dont see the hands...

That tell of my being beaten...

Abused...

Neglected...

And torn.

Homeless...

Starving...

For love, attention, and a little more...I just dont know what.

You dont see the girl...

Who refused to believe she was worth loving...

Even by the one who created her in His image...

The Girl who thought she was God's first mistake....

You dont see that.

You dont see the girl who has never known what real love is like

Because everytime she relearned to trust...

She was rejected again.

You dont see the girl who was taunted..

By her peers, her church....the people she called family...

The girl who was told she would be nothing by those she trusted..

The girl who stood alone in that graduation hall...

Because those she had built up the nerve to invite

Despite her damn pride, decided it was not important,

That they show up.

The girl who graduated. Though many thought she would not..

So my friend,

Next time you see my picture,

Next time you see my face...

Look deeper...

Remember these callused hands tell a story...

And this wounded soul has a name...

Hibo   

This poem is dedicated to all....that r new in the world of love.. when we enter the door to this mysterious world.. all we see is the lavishing sites of beauty, happiness that seems to last forever... through my experience I share with u ... a side not many folks.. were unfortunate enough to experience it.. so new lovers or those that r eager towards love... do dig deeper than that mere fairlytales hollywood portrays...Here is a prayer for u all....

 

Have you ever had a broken heart

that was impossible to repair?

Have you ever met that someone

who didn't seem to care?

Have you ever cried so many tears

that you thought you'd cry forever?

Have you ever been dumped by someone

after spending such a long time together?

Have you ever been hurt so bad

you almost couldn't feel the pain?

Have you ever went after someone

only to be left out in the rain?

Have you ever wanted someone

you thought you'd never hold?

Have you ever warmed that person's heart

to see it all turn cold?

Have you ever fell hard for someone

then have them push you away?

Have you ever been left by someone

after asking them to please stay?

Have you ever been so depressed

that you wanted to lay down and die?

Have you ever forced yourself to smile

when all you could do was cry?

Have you ever felt so alone

like you had no one to turn to?

Have you ever felt so unloved

like no one needed you?

Have you ever gave your heart to someone

who wouldn't give theirs in return?

Have you ever been treated so badly

that you could feel your whole heart burn?

 

I hope someday you'll meet someone

who will never make you cry

I hope they'll love you forever

and never say goodbye

Because I know how much it hurts

to have a broken heart

I know how painful it is

to have it ripped apart

I believe there's someone out there

who will make you happy, my friend

Then you'll never have to worry

about having your heart broken......

Hibo   

Idil, Da~answer and Hibo, guys your poems are breathtaking...i am speachless.

 

Hibo, I am glad to read your poetry in somalia online sis, it is such a pleasure to have you here too. Somalinet's era for me has almost eclipsed and i vow not to return there unless forced.

 

This kind of love between somali boys and girls is what i have been waiting to see...sharing and loving...

 

Guys you are are wonderful..only dont stop the flow of poetry..

 

Thank you all,

 

 

PS: Idil, sister i will asnwer you poem tomorrow God-willing..and i know GIRL LIKE YOU must have a mother who is the greatest Queen, I love my mother very much than when i think of her i cry with sweet emotions towards her. She raised me and my 7 other brothers and sister when our father died in 1984, i was a kid by then but she made sure i get everything a child should have had. I love her for her strength and courage, her cleverness in business (especially - how she master the oral maths) and her business skills, she made my family rich lol.

 

bye all and thank you.

Hibo   

Idil,

 

I am honoured to be your heart's guest

A guest who's safety is assured

let loose to wander and enjoy

Within a compound of all treasures

Trusted favoured to have the key

to the golden gate where love is born

 

The lonely heart now hiccups with joy

Remedy was found that heals the wounds

and lightening bright that dispell the gloom

Sorrow and pain have flown far away
