May


May…

In your garden
May your good deeds
Flower before your eyes
Bright and colourful

Around your shoulders
May your kind actions
Swathe you with love
Warm and serene

Beneath your feet
May your nice words
Blossom poppies and lilies
Startling and sublime

Eternally
May your tender heart
Be filled with joy so sweet

heart-flower

People with Green Hearts


Arabic poem,

Author شهرزاد الخليج

Translated and illustrated by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

 

People with green hearts

The colour of trees is the colour of their hearts 
Their dreams… water pure
 Their imagination… sky wide
 They are capable of infinite forgiveness 
Have the ability to bathe in optimism
 And to wash themselves in dreams to the very last drop

 People with green hearts
 Don’t ever expect to be stabbed from the back 
By a hand that once shook theirs
 Their days and seasons are works of art painted with hope
 They don’t learn easily from their mistakes
 Instead, they keep repeating them like a child’s bad habits

 They offer hearts around them infinite trust 
They’re incapable of seeing the colour black in existence

 People with green hearts 
Come intimately near to those who pass them by in life, 
So much so that they are glued to them 
They cling to the minute details 
Ever trusting of those around
 Creative in finding excuses to the faults of others 

 People with green hearts 
Cling onto beginnings like mad 
Reject endings fiercely 
They can’t comprehend separation

They trick reality with a dream 
The dream with an illusion 
On the map of hope, they occupy vast areas

People with green hearts
 Don’t recognise mistrust or deception 
Nor do they cause others to taste portrayal 

They start with purity
 And end up with faithfulness
 Longing steals much of their time
 They keep loyal to their tales until death 
Yesterday has immense reverence in their lives

 People with green hearts
 Play the role of peace doves
 Spreading love on earth 
Help in building abodes of joy 

They hasten to mend the broken hearts
 And talk with the voice of affection
About love and dreams

They make you feel that it’s them 
Who invented the colour “white” in this universe

 People with green hearts 
Hold fast to childhood, despite the passing of years 
Their hearts forever young 
Their souls never grow old, nor become polluted 

Their faces reflects babyhood innocence 

Their eyes mirror truthfully their essence
They’re not good at hiding, or deceiving 
And fail miserably in wearing masks

 People with green hearts
 Never fail you when you need them
 They are the first to cover your needs

 When feeling overwhelmed;
They are the first thing that you lay your eyes upon 
The first who come to your rescue when drowned in sorrow 

When you are suffocated they’d give you their breath 
They’d make their lives a life ring thrown to you

 People with green hearts
 When they love, they love passionately 

When they are faithful, they are faithful passionately
 When they get a shock, the get a shock passionately

 And when they are broken, they are broken passionately
 When they give, they give passionately 
And when they cry, they cry passionately
 If you find yourself embraced
 By one of those with green hearts 
Cling onto them… passionately

 As they are a rare treasure
 In times of colour-shifting hearts
 

URGENT… BREAKING NEWS


Goodness is Life

 

 

We all have seen the crime scene

Broadcasted live on our TV screens

We have seen the blood flowing

We have heard the deafening screams

The murder-weapon is known to all

Signed “with love” by some “chosen souls”

It thundered down with a “gracious” fall

A sigh of relief

followed the storm

It can’t get worse

We all exclaimed

We’ve hit rock bottom

We’ve seen it all

No my dears not so fast

That is simply not precise,

Far from it!

I forgot to tell you,

Mr Worst is yet to come

He is knocking at our doors

.
 .

The camp of gory fantasise their “glory”

Huffing and puffing for their “mighty rise”

“Smite them all” their favourite hymn

Biocide became the madmen surname

Demons of Death, their middle-name

.

Just over there, across the divide

The Camp of Goodness noble, steadfast

A home for love, heart open wide

Not a predator nor a beast

Aggression is vice, he greatly abhors

But when pushed down, he has a bite

For the sake of truth, he lays down his life

Just like life, rich and mysterious

Majestic… graceful… vigorous … arcane

Patience is his middle name

Kindness fills his heart and soul

 
* * * * *

O dear friends, heed my call

“Survival of the fittest” is one big lie

The kind and righteous are the heirs

Most able to love, care and share

With open arms, they fully embrace

Dawn fast approaching, open your eyes

Laws of nature can’t be destroyed

Humanity is here to stay

Forces of darkness knows no way

To put off the light of one faint ray

Swarms of evil can’t exterminate

Seeds of nature, resilient, most pure

Thrive and survive, Divinely signed its DNA

 

Dear friend It’s not a pretty game

But
Abyss is a choice, so is Paradise

Avoid the void, shift your paradigm

Come what may, don’t ever lose hope

With glad tidings, I speak to you

Before the crowd, I gladly proclaim

Polarisation, well on its way

No standing on the fence, as per today

Blessed are the kind, blessed are the meek

Blessed are the ones who stand for the weak

David and Goliath, don’t you recall?

Be the little Davids of our time

Exactly like us, he only had a stone

 

Don’t waste time in pitiful blues

Shed off your pride and grumpy moods

Run to the arms of those who love you

Wipe off your tears and start a new

.

World, I Love You


 
We could learn so much from children, their love, their curiosity, their bewilderment, their optimism, their joy for the smallest things, their innate kindness, their natural ability to forgive and move on, and their resilience and miraculous way they bounce back after a fall, a fight or a cry
 
In times of great upheaval and when darkness prevails, it is the remembrance of what is important that will keep us going.
 
Hope thrives by sustaining and fostering our humanity, amidst the gloomy hours of turbulence and anguish.
 
 
The other day
 
I looked into your eyes
 
 

I saw Heaven
 
My heart giggled
 
Fluttered its wings
 
and flew away

Looking above, I saw my heart growing

Growing . . .  growing
 
Filling up . . . Overflowing
 
Pouring out love
 
Embracing All

Engulfed in euphoria
Trees swayed in jubilation
Mountains imbibed within
Meadows twirled in elation
Sand trembled of devotion
Beautiful grins bounced around

Dolphins raced butterflies
Creeks jumped into River and rivers dived into the Ocean
Earth splashed its feet in cosmic dust
Supernovas danced while nesting within
Galaxies chased baby stars to heaven
IMG_6764
In one eternal moment of singularity
Time and space ran away
Steadfast, my heart remained
Filled with awe my heart contained
All … there … is
Besotted, swept off my feet
I hooped and looped I swirled with joy
In disbelief, I looked down
Is that me?
Shrinking?

Petals scattered
A speck of dust . . . faded away
I am gone

 

World. . . Be Warned


.
When you wake up one day
.

.

Into your nightmare

.

.

When you hear hordes of lunatics call for war
.

.
When freaks shriek “Apocalypse Now”
.

.

When Luciferians shout: “End it All… End it all”
.

.

When you hear our planet sobbing

.

.

When the oceans cry of pain
.

.

When Cain kills Abel many times over

.

.

When our children lose their compass

.

.

When excited and delighted as they play soldiers

.

.

When their inspiration “shoot and kill”
.

.

When they see blood, a type of humour
.

.
and horror movies called entertainment
.

.
When their lives have no meaning
.

.

When hues of violence thrive and prosper

.

.

When abrasion called beauty

.

.
When mutilation praised as fashion
.

.
Inflicting harm becomes “my choice”
.

.

Hurting self is a form of “art”
.

.

Hurling insults is “my freedom”
.

.

When babies are used to sell and buy

.

.

When toddlers tricked into molestation
.

.

When innocent girls are sexualized
.

.
When their purity is vandalized
.

.

When truth-seekers are chastised
.

.

When being dumbed down is glorified

.

.

When truth-tellers… ostracized
.

.

When the righteous criminalized
.

.

Then hear me O World

BE WARNED

Await the hurricane

.

.

Let it not be forgotten

The darker the night

The closer is the dawn
.

.

Remember

Rainbows always come

After the storm

What Really Matters!


When all gets dark

And life loses its colours
When evil tightens the grip

And the wicked leads the way

When fall falls before its time

and frost grows around
When your heart is torn and worn,

and you feel like throwing it away

Don’t give up, just wait a little while,
Turn your back
Close your eyes and
Remember what you have forgotten
Try to find if you’ve lost, 
Apologize if you’ve hurt,
Forgive if you have been hurt,
Caress if you’ve been deprived,
Pursue, if you have dream
Share if you’ve been bereft,
Giggle if you’ve been aggrieved,
Embrace if you’ve been shun,
Give if you’ve been denied,
Excel if you’ve been scorned,
Feed if you’ve tasted hunger
Rejoice if you’ve felt somber
Accompany those who know


Hold on tight to those you love,

Cherish those who care for you,

Because life is too short
and it is full of wonder

 

Secrets!


Having a diamond in your hand
Does it matter if people say
It’s nothing but a piece of coal

Having a piece of coal in your hand
Does it matter if people say
What an astonishing diamond

Screen Shot 2015-07-08 at 18.31.49

Sweet scented words
Whispered in your ear

Which don’t mean anything
To anybody. . . But you

Wise teachers taught

Angels came

Angels gone

Angels will be back soon


* * * * *

More secrets!

What secrets are you talking about?
I don’t understand

What diamonds and coals?
Who is whispering what?
Who are those who came and gone?

You are making no sense
At all

‡ξμЂ{%”}∞Ψ@#*©?{}¤µØæð∞ğœǿǽΣΨΦΩζφξμЂψЖЉе‰∂≈∫∞‡{}∞ǿǽ≥

Shshsh… such secrets are fragile
Delicate . . . frail
The closer you are
The more illusive they become

The moment you touch
The moment you lose

A rainbow bubble

You look at with awe and fascination
Lured to touch
Tempted to hold

You want to get inside
And float around
Tour the world… show the world
Tell the world

But

The moment you touch
The moment you lose

Such secrets are better kept
Hush-hush
Better to stay away
Not say a word

An Open Invitation


Amidst the fog of deception spewed by the Jewish-Talmudic-Zionist Hasbara agents, Here is a warm and open invitation to all of mankind, and that is to face the confusion head on….

Please EDUCATE yourselves about ISLAM

.

For the sake of Humanity
For the sake of Love
For the sake of Life
For the sake of Truth
For the sake of the future of our planet
For the sake of our children
.

Make the effort to learn about Islam, Muslims and the prophet of Islam, from authentic sources. Do not swallow the lies of Zionist media and do not be afraid of knowledge.
.

Take this extra mile and cut the rope of deceit designed to strangle humanity by fomenting hate and pushing for “Armageddon” with a nuclear war against Muslims.

The journey



 The Journey

 

Where can the river go

But to the ocean?

Would the ocean turn it away?

 

Will the stream lose its way

While making its journey

Into the sea?

 

Can the water droplet

Ever escape

The globe?


East… west

North or south

Up… down

Turn all around

 

What ever direction

You choose to take

You’re always there

 

Forever travelling

Constantly arriving

 

Don’t keep trying

To flee

Embrace your destiny

Enjoy the voyage

 

With open arms

Run to the Source

No other way

On the Road Again

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” — Maya Angelou
