Pretty Picture

Ohh

I may seem like..

A pretty little picture

I’ve been through it..

In the middle of hell and back. 

Every smile isn’t in vain 

This is the part of me..

That couldn’t be taken away

Integrity

​

Sometimes walking with Integrity

Means to walk alone.

It’s empathy and compassion with boundaries. 

It’s to not erase yourself,

Or others..

There’s no climbing to the top

Upon the bodies of others to get there. 

And the greatest comfort there is..

Is in the Truth of our Lord.

Allah sees all...Allahu Alim

And Allah is all I need…Hasbi Allah 

Grace is the quiet peace that..

Shows up in our walk.. 

And through our speech. 

The quiet knowing.

Root of anger

​

The very root of all anger..

At the very bottom…

Deepest of the deep..

You’ll  always find…

A broken heart.

Under The Crescent

​Warm and golden..

The candlelight flickering

A neon crescent and star overlooking..

A new throne

Warmed by the children

Playful and mild..

We bow and pray

While kittens hop..

The rug absorbs the world

Nothing outside this space

Finds us here..

Our little time capsule

Here You Are

Here you are

Sweetest love

Hardest fall Ive had yet 

We turned it all around 

Built our own 

Sincerest  love 

You and i evolved

Together made for the

Storms

Peace within our aura

Shielded by..

the sacrifice..

All intentions 

Not a single smile is in vain

Here you are

Sweetest love

Hardest fall yet

We turned it all around 

Purest love of my life

Ghost

​

Hey

Babe..

Ill be ok

Its just the baby in me..

Bittersweet gratitude 

To be here standing..

With everything I’ve learned 

Every river crossed..

Its just the baby in me..

She feels seen..

She knows her story

Wasn’t in vain..

All her secrets are safe

She just wanted something 

Safe and warm..

Little did she know her heart will take her home. 

Don’t worry babe

Ill be ok..

Just holding the hand

Of the baby in me..

Reflection

​

The way we love in life..

In our own mode...

The way we love those 

Who can do nothing for us.

That is the reflection

Of who we are..

Showing kindness in every matter..

To every soul we cross paths with:

The delivery man..

The shopkeeper..

The cleaning hands..

The passerby..

How we speak to others..

Is a reflection of our own character.

For every interaction is a mirror
