Waiting

You notice

this new profound him.

So eager to love.

So poised with caring words.

He wants your time.

Seems as if he craves it.

Your mind questions constantly.

Where has it come from?

Where was it all along?

How long does it intend on staying?

His idea?

Or the idea of someone else’s?

You feel confused.

Even weird at times.

You don’t know rather to melt

or proceed with caution.

Whats the catch,

the end game?

Are you being sweetened up

to be soured down?

You wonder

has he really realized your worth…

the dominance of the history…

your commitment…

your loyalty…

your strength to recognize

that you deserve the best

nothing less.

And so you wait.

You enjoy this new profound him

but you wait.

And you wait.

You are just waiting.

Roller Coaster Love

Rising to the stars
Fire deep within
Grasping the light
Holding firm in the wind
Tumbling with thoughts
Seconds of loneliness
Wavering chills
Loosing consciousness
Roses on Monday
The lake on Tuesday
Confusion on Wednesday
Sleep Thursday to Sunday
Remembering the good
Embracing the moment
Remembering the past
Of the other woman
Reading through old letters
Smiling over the beginning
Packing up useless things
Accepting possible endings
Realizing change ahead
All for the best
Goodbye kisses for the day
Love is the greatest test

Paths

Paths

In loving memory of Kenzie

You don’t get to judge others who are different from you.

Those who have different beliefs

living according to their decision.

If they are not harming you or others,

it is their choice to move across the Earth

to the beat of their own drum.

It is not your place to scold them,

to degrade them, or make them feel inferior.

It is not your place to shun them,

to make them think Allah created them dirty.

We all have a place to be merciful.

To be kind. To be just!

Though you may not support ones path,

they have the right to follow it

in peace. 

 

If you or someone you know are in a suicidal crisis or emotional distress, help is available. You don’t have to fight your battles alone.

Happy with Caution

When the days seem sunny

you smile with whispers

Whispers hitting you

at all angles

Warning you

to proceed with caution

You’ve been here before

Smiling on sunny days

balancing on clouds

You’ve been here before

Embracing the moment

naïve to the shield of deception

So this time

this time while you are smiling

on sunny days, balancing

on clouds, you’ve been here

before, and so

you proceed with caution

and a plan

that lies in your breast

only known to Allah

Recited to your heart

during the last third of the night

Every night

Keep smiling

on those sunny days

balancing on clouds

and if

and when

that shield of deception falls once more

the clouds will shield your heart

and balance your plan

The Heart

You may color her heart

with every color imagined

It will never cover the pain you caused

Her heart, it may forgive you

but there’s a dark spot deep

within, created with your name on it

You could’ve saved it from drowning

fed it your last meal

It will never see you the same

It will only see your potential

to betray at any cost

To betray despite the possible lost
