No fear in my heart


Do this you lose,

Do that I win,

Losers !

You could imprison me!

With that you ONLY imprison my physical body

My joyful soul you cannot restrain

Out of your reach

Forever FREE

Floating in contentment, tranquillity and peace

Watching your despondent captive souls

Behind bars of your wickedness and lies

Walls of your guilt, fear and insecurity

You could kill me!

But my poetry is unassailable

The minds of many already impregnated with my words

As soon as you make me a martyr

Those seeds would be infused with life

Hubs of love

Like rays of sunshine… warm… tender… invigorating

Giving birth to a delightful dawn

Hubs of love

Like summer rain… pure… cleansing… revitalizing

Gushing through hearts and minds

Hubs of love

They’d bloom and multiply

Budding… hope, buoyant and sublime

Blossoming… verve and splendour

Just try

Divine Love

Divine Love embraces all
Flakes of heaven
Falls like rain
Sublime and tender

Kind hearts abide with wonder
Share with all without constraint
Every drop blooms to oceans
Smiles aghast, grateful souls
Gift their love, received with passion
Cherishing life in utmost joy

Divine Love embraces all
Flakes of heaven
Falls like rain
From rugged hearts it slips unnoticed
Drizzled or drenched not a crack would open
Not a seed would bud
Not a weed would grow
 Its only lust, destroy destroy
Beating drums of own demise

Beauty


Sometimes, beauty is mistakenly understood;

Assuming that

If someone is beautiful, they are always good,

When truth is

When someone is good, they are always beautiful

Heart songs

Each one of us is born
With heart songs inside

When the ride gets rough,

People become tough
Life rages with noise

Our heart songs faint

To the background

But each one of us is born
With many heart songs inside

A kind word, or a poem,

Caress of a tender hand,

Attentive ear,

A meal made with love,
Or a prayer said in silence
.

A gaze pure and gentle,
Heartwarming embrace,
A small act of forgiveness,
A glorious twinkle in the eye,
Or a radiant smile

When autumn falls
Don’t hibernate
Get out and about
Plough the meadows of your soul
Seeds of good deeds
Plant all around

Let love bloom

Let hope thrive

Open your heart

Dance to its singing
Paint the corners of your soul
Pink and lilac, blue and green
Then sway and shine
Sprinkle your joy
Extend your hands
Embrace the world

Is it me standing on my head, or is the world upside-down?

Silent cries of babies dying pierce my ears

Deformed infants born, a nightmare called “life”

Corpses of bleeding whales paint the ocean pink

Lifeless grey trees, trunks chopped and dry

Bees falling dead “we don’t know why”!

Breathless sweet dolphins scattered by the seashore

Heavy nights descend like bricks

Hidden hands tighten around my neck

I’m breathing mud, I’m breathing sand

Is it just me standing on my head?

Or is everything around me, upside-down?

Destruction… “conquest” of nature

Radioactive waste… praised as accomplishment

Robbery in broad day light… a “Historic Achievement”

Progress… a family is no longer mum and dad

Liberty… measured in nudity per cm², put on display

Civilisation…  how many weapons  a nation could amass

Science… a tool of annihilation and a mushroom cloud

Charity… bailout of bankers adding to the trillions in their “empty” coffers

If we don’t give them that, our world would collapse… yes, collapse!

Economy… snatching the last piece of bread from a hungry destitute

Financial growth… interest goes up and up, while life goes down

Security… watching every move, recording every word, just to keep us “safe”

Technology… counting every breath, monitoring every dream only just in case

Defence…  watch out, every blink of an eye might be a “secret code”,

 Every social gathering could be a “sleeping cell”, call 999 only just in case

O dear Beloved God

How could such a small heart

Take all this pain

I don’t want to be here
I don’t want to take part
In this evil madness

All I want to be

Is a leaf on a tree

or a wild flower by the road side

Hide forever

Where no one could see

Look up into Heaven

Smile at angels as they pass by

Just a thought


lotus-heart-light-jo-thompson

Our quest for JUSTICE through our pursuit of TRUTH is what should keep our intentions pure and our actions noble.

Our passion for humanity, beauty, harmony and equality is what allows love to grow in our hearts unhindered.

Like the Holy Land that is Palestine, it shines with goodness through the pursuit of its people for spiritual truth and by existing in harmony with nature and the pace of nature.

What makes it Holy and so breathtakingly beautiful is its embrace of that which is organic, pure and natural.

Thus, when we align ourselves in full harmony with the epitome of Nature’s Divine Laws, i.e Balance outlined with Beauty, translated in human terms as Justice embraced with Compassion, we become one with all there is.

If we slip, however,  into following the deceptive and oppressive methods of those whom we oppose, we lose the battle and it would be our defeat.

“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.

The metaphor of His Light

is that of a niche

in which there is a lamp,

the lamp inside a glass,

the glass like a brilliant star,

lit from a blessed tree, an olive,

neither of the east nor of the west,

its oil all but giving off light

even if no fire touches it

Light upon Light

Allah guides to His Light whoever he wills

and Allah makes metaphors for mankind

and Allah has knowledge of all things”

(Qur’an 24:35)

 اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونِةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ

وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ نُّورٌ عَلَى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Love is a Wonder

Love is a wonder

A peek into Heaven

Barren hearts

Lush and bloom

 

Love so vast,love the sky cannot contain. how does all this fit inside my heart

.

Love is a wonder

Spontaneous gush

Pure and tender

When a heart is touched

By kindness of soul

Of the beloved

Once upon a dream


Whenever I finish writing an article or a poem, I think to myself, that’s it now, I have said all what I needed to say, I have poked into wasps nests, divulged forbidden topics and delved into taboos, few are willing to touch.  I have also expressed the very innermost deepest sentiments and thoughts of my being, I am done now. I am ready to depart. Nothing left to say or to write about.

207127_425974280781713_1799865231_n
Lo and behold,

Before I know it

I fall upon a crime

An image of life pulverised

A frozen tear of a beloved child

Stabs my heart

Coils my guts in crazy knots

Rips my soul

Like a dagger piercing into my existence

Like a volcano erupting in my conscience

Like a burning bullet whizzing through my mind

My limbs tremble in agony

My hearts pounds like thunder

I weep of pain

I scream of rage and anger

A poem is born

Other times,

Wondering in my world

I fall upon a dream

A vision tickles my heart

Melt it away, like butter on a hot tray

Like a baby’s hand

Wrapped around my finger

Like a blanket of stars

Embracing my estrangement

Caressing my wounds

Swaying my soul in an ocean of love

Whispering a lullaby of heaven in my ear

I twirl in dazzlement

Wallow in delight

My heart pounds like thunder

My eyes moisten of joy

My limbs tremble in ecstasy and bewilderment

A poem is born
