muslim sis Posted June 14, 2003 The way I feel seems so unreal. The way I cry questions "Why?" the answers I need, the tears I plead, ask for comfort of any sort. Searching for love, not looking above. Craving success, not receiving the best. Questioning me and that others see. Who am I to wonder why? My feelings hide deep down inside. True beauty lost at my own cost. True love awaits but patience I hate. Not getting anywhere, not seeming to care. Feeling sorry deep within me. Puncturing my heart, ripping me apart. My success forgot, my failures -not. They creep to me, the blind I see. With no way out. With nothing to shout. Trapped, a hostage. An awful stage. Unable to feel what's fake or real. Having to wait in fear, in hate. To search, I can for who I am. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instinct.Poet Posted June 22, 2003 This is walk on wall poetry.I'm like lizard to show you how to walk on the wall, but you can fall off,so becarefull. Again,who am I? a quiet man,behind an iron mask... your words cant hurt me,the air cant disperse me,cuz when we clash.. my blood thirsty side comes out of me... ive struggled deeply for years,everyday it becomes more sever,as im lost in dry like tears... they dont show,but their there... what i want from you is just a minute so i could explain my sympathetic side... you seem like its a burden before i even speak and i deeply ponder why... you have to be so shallow,could you understand my heart is hollow? and im so f#ckin depressed that i could be gone tomorrow... you could put the pumpin back in my veins... its dry and like needs an oil change... the engine is my heart its overheating with airs estranged... a deep exchange....of glances you look away...im saddened... by your unability to reason with my uneven path of ashes... everything ive set in the past...has burned down by hardships... but strive on regardless... im a savage inside a poetic mind that wants to break thru the chains... but i need someone else to provide light along the way... but im left astray....my chest decays...my breath freezes in the air... all the hostility the world shares...loves an endangered species... and understandings rare... to us nearly extinct individuals that are misunderstood.... labeled as villians,and wastes of space inside realligned for good... is our hopes and our dreams... we cant breathe without assistance... fatigued with a condition that needs understanding,care and listenin... my heart is glistenin aside from the world which pays no dividends for the one with the silent struggle,remainin puzzled inside the minds demolition....

biG mOm Posted July 12, 2003 my turn!!!!! `````Who AM I????````` Speak kind to the people ,enjoin what is good and forbid evil Perform your daily salat and give alms, and say nothing but the truth about Muhammad alaihis salam. How could you insist upon sin and transgression, after Allah gave you Islam continuously bestowing blessings. I'm thinking akhira is priceless and the dunya is lowly , while im performing 2 sunna rakat ..very slowly Only for the face of Allah I submit to the truth , prostrating , broke in poverty , im destitute. Now Al-Quodoos is free from all imperfections , I call upon Al-Muhaymin for my protection. The kuffar wish they could liva a thousand years too, they disbelieve ,and Allah sees everything we do. Everyday the situation gets more sticky, as they follow shaitan and his magic and trickery. Now which one of the blessings from your Lord will you deny, and where could you find a refuge from Allah where you could hide? the fact is refuge is only with the Creator, Al-khalic, the most merciful, the originator. the one who knows the innermost secrets in the chests, possessor or majesty and benevolence Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mz-alpha-soup Posted July 15, 2003 Who am I? Am the shining light in ma moma's eyes Am the rock of ma future baby The shadow that blocks all lies The effervescent dream of ma future hubby Who am I? Ma parents gift The warmth The one who spirit lifts whoever is down n needs to reach a goal Who am I? The grandaughter who craves for the day I can touch n rub ma granma's feet Massage all those tough years away scratch her back when she needs Who am I? The one who wants to embrace ma religion more than now, Hug ma culture n using ma vision more than now Who am I? Ma man's home Ma man's bed Ma man's clown First making sure ma baby iz fed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muslim sis Posted July 22, 2003 as-salaama alaykum w.w bro's & sis's thnk you for your beautfull poems much love.. ~~~Who Am I? :confused: I'm Muslim Woman*~ ~how do i know i'm pure muslim? Islam is pure, perfect and clear For those who embrace, shall have no fear It's from the Creator of man, and the universe Our life on earth, is as in the verse "I have not created jinn and man, save to worship me" Yet He bestows His Mercy, how could this be? It is the love of Allah, for His creatures After all 'Most Merciful', is one of His features And the pillars of Islam, they amount to five To implement them all, we shall strive The first of them, is comprised of two Allah is One, and His Messenger to you It is this that stands, as a strong foundation Making the Prophet's Ummah, the best of nations Upon this condition, you enter this Deen Propagating this Creed, makes you more keen The second of them, stand forth in Prayer Only five each day, miss them don't dare! The prophet narrated, in a certain hadith Leaving prayers can lead, to disbelief! We come to the third, as Zakaat it is known So distribute you wealth, as Muhamed had shown And those who give, for Allah's sake Their wealth decreases not, make no mistake! The fourth we know, Ramadan we must Fast Obstain from food, until light has passed But not just stomachs, we must restrain Hearing and seeing, haram we obstain So in the pillars, four have passed Its time to recall, and state the last It's the pilgrimage, to Hajj we make If you're able to do so, for Allah's sake But don't be fooled, for Allah knows If you've the means, but just don't go Its bounties are greater, than may appear A command from Lord, surely Allah we fear That covers them all, you can count on your hand A burden they're not, like a grain of sand They are personal fard's, as you will find Now establish Islam, for all mankind!

Batuulo Posted July 28, 2003 a/c wr wb who are you? or Am I? I Ask my self who am i what am i doing the here? I don't know.. ----- Who ever i'm do not forget me. I am the one with the empty looking eyes; war torn; speechless; hard like steel, but inside, like glass, I am shattered. I have witnessed death. It revealed its horrid face in the form of my mother, father, sister' and brother. And with death, came destruction. It left me a portrait of grief. Where are you? Can't you hear me? :confused: My whole village represents loss; filled with still-framed memories of the less fortunate ones, whose spirits walk about aimlessly, waiting for a resting-place. I am alive; yet I stand alone in the middle of these makeshift graves, amongst these mounting bones: am I not also less fortunate? Nevertheless, it is each man for himself; remember me. I am just a child. If I depress you, please do not turn away. Do not forget me; note my haunting stare. Let it pierce through your heart, reminding you it could be your child. Imagine. When you look into your child's eyes, see my eyes of emptiness staring back at you. When you hear his or her cries, hear my silence, ringing louder and louder in your mind. Cry me oceans, lakes and streams and may your salty tears attempt to heal my eternal wounds; provide me nourishment, with your overburdening emotion. I lost my voice when I lost everything. Your endless determination speaks for me now. All that I feel remains, is a skeleton of who I was and who I am. And if by chance I die tomorrow, please do not forget me. I am too, a (little) martyr. I am the one with empty looking eyes; war torn; speechless; hard like steel, but inside, like glass, I am shattered. by: Sister HA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
