Love unseen.

My best, I've tucked you away safely within' my soul .
Your love a moving,resounding echo..
Nothing & no one will have any knowledge of this sacred room.
Love unseen & unheard  to the rest on this mortal plane.

Headscarf

Yes I wear a headscarf..
These intricately woven threads
Cover my locks of hair that decorate and frame my face..

This headscarf reminds me
Of where I want my mind to be..
A constant reminder...
A sweet, beautiful reminder..

Don't kid yourself
Simply wearing a cloth over your head,
Doesn't mean instant humility nor humbleness
Remember, its a sign & a reminder to yourself,
Of how you wish to live your life..
Of how you wish to be seen..
Recognized for your heart, your thought..

Let your actions live up to the Example you wish to emulate
How must one remind another?..
Hijab weaves deeper than that cloth on your head..
Its keeping in check,
Mindset... Lifestyle ...Habits..
State of mind.
Its a state of mind.

Shadow Within Shadows

Close as friends could be..
Friends undefined, I thought we were
Time revealed otherwise.
You come from shadows
When the soul needs lifting
But when fair weather comes
You make your retreat..
Now here I am..
Feeling like I'm nothing but a shadow..
Shadow within' shadows.

Dear Stalker

Go on ahead & keep tracking everything I do on my various blog sites. It doesn't bother me at all for you to spend your free time reading my blogs over and over every day or every other day!! Its your time to kill.

Just wanted to let you know I'm very aware of it...

Its normal to think of friends checking out your blogs, especially since its public, but as for you dear Stalker... We're completely out of each others lives now. I really hope you find solace & can let go of the past... Especially a past that you really have no clue about & was never really any of your business to start with.

Am I blue? By Libby Holman *wink*

Beauty

Beauty left to interpretation,varies from one person to the next..

But for us the beauty that awes us, isn't one that is tangible nor one that can be aged away.. 

For us, it lies within the feeling that is deeply nestled within our soul of souls.. 

A feeling and understanding that sometimes shines through our eyes, speech & gestures..

But that light is merely a glimpse of what Is.. 

For that Beauty will never have words comprehensible..

Words can't and will never contain such majesty. 

This Beauty is a blessing you and I share.. 

All praise be to Allah.

Skin Deep

Beauty is only skin deep
True beauty lies much deeper..
My character isn't defined by
These facial features...
Feminine shape..
Wild full head of hair..
Nor batting eyelashes.
I'd like to hope that any beauty you see,
Would be sincerest of
Intention..
Love for humanity..
Love for the sake of Allah subhan wa ta'ala
That is the real beauty I hope you see shining through.

A.S.

Woods

Dearest of friends,

From the wild wilderness that Life has led you to.
From the woods..
Your voice I did hear as clear as day.
Crystal clear
You’re only milliseconds away.
To say I’m ecstatic is more than an understatement
Back to those woods you’ll make your return
Back turned..
Cloak of mystery, trailing..
Footprints are what you’ve left behind
Their imprint on this heart..
Heavy

A.S.

Was

There was a love that once was..
Was.
I came out of the storm..
A new bird..
New terrain .. New wings
Found my way..
Flying.
For the love that once was
Lost in that storm..
His fate I do not know.
Drowned or afloat who knows..
Wouldn't wish him the worst
Burdened enough by his own weight

A message from my special sister

Dear sister, always remember that we cannot be held accountable for others actions, but our very own . Never let your grace FALL and you will always be understanding and compassionate . We have the power to change ourselves ...ourselves alone for the better and that can only make a ripple that is good . The rest is up to everyone else . Growth is a choice . See the pain in people and you'll see the fear that underlies  their actions and choice of words. Maintain calm and previously stated, grace , especially in the worst of situations . Learn to laugh smile and let things you do not desire to fill your heart roll off like beads of water ! You are the ruler of your soul and you can do so much with it . Don't hear or see things at face value as you have learned not to  in the things you have learned of with worldly on goings . Instead be steadfast in your ability to see and hear the intent reason and cause for someones words and actions to better help you understand and act upon the situation with love. We can't always teach these things to the ones we love, but we can love and show them how one should be treated because it is what we expect of ourselves . I love you dear sister . I know it is hard and you may feel weak sometimes, but you are doing great things and are great . Let it shine . Know yourself and you can handle anything . Xoxo - Wendie.R

Missing Friend

Your friend I sought to be..
Your friend I was.

Have you forgotten?
Have you let go?..

Silence is your only answer..
Heavy on my heart I feel the miles.

A.S.

An ocean between

There is an ocean that separates us.
Meanwhile..
My mind wanders there to where you are.
Homesick I am
Home is where the heart is they say..

And you do have my heart.

His Bounty

Take in a moment and take notice to the bounty of blessings He has bestowed upon us. If you find it hard to find them, simply look around you. You don't have to look very hard.

A.S.

Inner Peace

In order to magnify & reflect peace..
You need to find an inner calm.. an inner peace.
Peace isn't possible without finding that quiet reserve within yourself.

A.S.

Jannah

The dark realities of this Dunya can be quite scary and even disheartening. But the reality of Allah's Jannah should be more than enough to strengthen our souls.



A.S.

You I turn to.

People come and go in this Life..
We try to learn from these coming and goings, to the best of our capabilities.
In the end I put my complete love and trust in Allah.
When my heart is aching, I turn to Allah.
When my heart is rejoicing, All praise belongs to Allah.
No matter what shape I'm in..
Its You I turn to for each and everything.
SubhanAllah..

A.S.

Last Straw

Always by your side..
Just as family ought to be.
I gave you the shirt off my back..
Even though I really needed it.
I gave you my shoulder to cry on, listened to your rants.
And even though you never really listened...
I gave my quiet wisdom when you asked.
Your sidekick I was not.
Remember..
STILL WATERS RUN DEEP.
I'd be lying to say that I'm not shattered.
Tired of contemplating why things have changed to the way they are.
Nothing left but to accept it.
Hope you come to the realization of what matters most.
Set our differences aside , let go of PRIDE..
And hold on to what is near and dear..
Before taking a hard fall to remember.
I'll always be there.
When the time comes.. I'll be there.

A.S.

A practice of its own

Sometimes getting past being hurt by someone..
Whether directly or indirectly..
Passively or aggressively..
Its easier said than done.
Getting past being jaded
More of a practice of sorts..
A practice you sometimes find never ends.









A.S.

Silence

Sometimes we burden ourselves trying to contemplate the words left unspoken.. When really, we should realize that the SILENCE tells us all that we need to know.

A.S.

Dear Heart

Dear Heart,

I know we've been on a long journey, sometimes the terrain got rough..
But, you can rest assured for we've finally found home & its foundations are
built strong. Keep that beat soft and steady. Feel the peace settling in.

Dreaming The Dream

Head in my hand, heart on a cloud..
Thinking, planning, dreaming the dream..
Letting my heart & imagination take my thoughts to new heights..
Only if we allow ourselves to dream, may we make them reality…
My head is heavy with the weight of the world,
But my heart feels and seeks no bounds..
Planning my future, our future ..
With just the right mix of both mind & heart..


A.S.

You and Me

There are so many vial ,corrupt things in this Life to bring us down.. But what gives me hope and the will to live this Life is because of people like You and Me that are in it… May we all stay guided by what is right in truth and light shown our way, inshaAllah… Pray for our hearts and minds to be open to these signs, ya rab ameen.♥

My Best

I love you dear heart…. For being the best of the best , and being my best when I’m at my worst..<3


A.S.

Ya know.. Some folks say life’s too short & it shouldn’t keep you from truly living your life to the fullest. Yes, I believe that is true, but it depends on how you are looking at it. Life is short .. What will it take for us to see that its the small things that matter most? In reality they aren’t so small. A simply smile can give someone hope, let alone soothe the soul. Living on bare essentials, and not through extravagance, we can have enough to spare others… Living life to me is growing spiritually, loving unconditionally , loving other people as if they were you’re own family, because essentially we are all one big family… Life is short and all the glitz ,glam & the superficial,are just that. There is no depth in those things & as long as we cling to them, we’ll continue to strive and hunger for more. We’ll forever be hungry unless we wake up & realize yes Life is short & that there are far more important things to strive for in mind,body & soul.. Sometimes it takes a hard fall to wake up to reality.. Hopefully we can learn sooner than later & make the most of our lives.

Dearest Friend

Dearest Friend,
You remind me of a butterfly. Intricately wonderful, beautiful is His creation.. You're just like the butterfly, living in its own world. Here I am in awe ,trying to catch you but for a moment.. Just like the butterfly you take flight,leaving just as softly & at random as you came. Wonderful as you are.. I'm always looking forward to your next appearance. Pleasantly surprised I'll always be..

You're friend waiting,
Me :)

Poke my eye out why dont ya

Soooo, late one night I was preparing to remove some eyeshadow and wash my face before bed. With the intention of grabbing my (makeup remover potion) I mistakenly grabbed for the (FOAMING facial cleanser) :) You would think one would stop to read the label first eh? But in my sleepy state I squeezed a precious amount onto the cotton ball and rubbed it vigorously onto my eyelid..(THOROUGHLY soaking my lashes) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…..open my eyes and more ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Fire bright red eyes and a burning sensation, I would hate to even call a SENSATION….. Warning to the females…… *ahem* I mean warning to those that wear makeup: (read your product labels first ) Lots of love! ;)

Daring to dream..

Nocturnal
Night growing still..
Cheek pressed on glass..
feeling the hard chill.
My window sill...
the only thing that feels real.

Soul searching

my heart's trying to feel its way ...
Hard pressed against glass.
Dark and mysterious starry skies..
they take me There..

I feel myself sinking .
My heart lingers ,hanging like those stars.
Soul like those stars..
surrounded by darkness

I feel myself there
Surrounded by beauty
Watching the universe in all its mystery

Cold window sill...
the cold on my flesh brings me back
Sink into my covers
Body of a curled knot.
Hoping sleep finds me.

Daring to dream..

A.R.

Hurt

In you’re loathsome way,
hopefully temporal..
You’ve really hurt my feelings.
Despite the fact this feeling will come to pass,
It does sting something deep .
You may never come to realize the pain you have caused,
but in my heart of hearts ..
I do forgive you…because really..
You know not what you do.
This I’ll never say to your face..

A.R.

In the moment

I sit and wonder at times..
Where can I take myself in this Life?
Where will Life take me?
Thoughts coming to me on clustered clouds...
Feelings starting to race and pick up with the storm forming in my head..
Too much thinking can do that at times..

Need to bring my mind to a focus…
The here..
The now.
Loving..
Living..
Learning..
In the moment

My only peace of mind.

Box Of Secrets

If you need a..
Friend..
Mother..
Sister..
Or confidant..
Whatever the need..
Keep in mind and always remember..
I’m here for you.
Let me be your safe haven ..
For every thought ..
For every dream you dare to dream..
A box of secrets…
Leave them with me ..
Let them ..
BE

I'm Free

I sit here, my body idle
Heart jogging in place

My spirit travels the world
It can't be contained

As long as I shall live
Unscathed I'll be

Because reality is you can't obtain me
ME the spirit, not the body

I am and will always be free.

Time

Thoughts rushing through my mind..
Crystal clear reminiscing
Time ..
Divided by minutes,hours,days,weeks,months and years..
Memories made tangible
One year…
Two months..
Three hours..
And every passing minute..
We have blossomed from nothing..
Like a giant ..
Sprouting from one universe into the next.
This feeling surpasses time…
My love for you will never fade.
Even when this body does…
Our memory stays.

Content

No more saturated paper of a heart in turmoil and anguish.
No more tangled words of love and hate.
No more poems of being lost in a sea of confusion.
No more bleeding of the heart.
Just sweet..sweet..
Idle contentment.
I’m at peace.

My friend

I’m the friend you don’t see…
The friend you don’t hear.
A dusty good read..
Kept on your keepsake shelf.

But when the moment is pivotal..
I’m the one you do remember.

My love in the purest sense..
Is unconditional..
Steadfast to your call.

Your well-being always on my mind..
Sweet memories I reminisce.

You still..
Bring me a smile..

I've Built You A Home

I’ve built you a home..
A place you may always take refuge..

A promised sanctuary ..
Forever warmth and comfort…
Soul soothing..
Lay your head to rest in idle bliss..

A sweet lullaby of true love soft in your mind..

Here in my heart you’ll stay.

Lullaby

Lullaby
You're fast asleep..
As I lay awake..
Silently staring…
Adoring..
Idle contentment.
A slow but sure feeling of calm and serenity filling my chest..
Your soft breathing and light snore..
My heart’s lullaby..

Like You do..

Nothing and nobody else will ever..
Fill my heart ..
Satisfy my mind..
Nothing and nobody else will ever..
Soothe and fill my soul
Like You do..
Love of my life…
The epiphany of happiness

On The Other Side

For no rhyme or reason ...
Gone.
Flat-line.
Not a sound
Not even an echo..

Severing ties..
Momentarily or indefinitely?
Time will tell

You will never severe what I know to be true.
Not what is in my heart
Bruised maybe.

I'll see you on the other side of the rainbow my friend.
Until then ..

A flower for you

Always

I am right here.
Always right there for you.
Whether or not you can see me..
Let my heart and words echo inside.
Love at its purest...

Better Than

Better than a prince..knight..king..
Or any mortal title.
You are an essence of life & love..
A never ending energy of positive waves..
Light illuminating my soul..

Love grows

♥ Love...It grows.. Evolves into something more beautiful than when it started. Love doesn't sit idle & go stagnant.. Don't settle for less. Always strive for more.....

Waiting

Love knows no bounds..
It pierces through weight of time & distance..
Love overcomes these things and is greater than our knowledge of...
How sweet it is to be in the center of it all..
We stand mirrored of each other.
I love you
