| Salams, Moderator: I hope this poem goes through, because I'm curious to know what to do with it, and whats wrong with its haram. Silent Whisper [Moderator's Note: Poem deleted. I don't think it is "haram". It is rather beautiful if you are a husband sending it to your wife, but it's a little too explicit for a public forum.] |

| Assalamoalykum, Is this 'her' your wife? If so, and if you want to send her a love poem, (aww...is't that sweet), then I can post some nice, clean, and not-too explicit-for-the-public poems. but if it is not your wife, then sorry, bro. I'm not postin' any love poems on here. :) :) Wassalam |

| Ok I'd just like to say that in favor of "anonymous" it wasn't like a baaad poem or that explicit and i'm sure it was for a good reason... poems are written to have imagery and there's always a line where it crosses over to the er personal, so this one just very slightly finely crossed over the line. |

| Salam, Ok, come on Jannah, you've already made your point that this is normally inappropriate, but since we all realize that, what harm can it do now? I mean, we're all adults here, except khathija, dhikr, kiwi25, insaaf, se7en, bhaloo, saleema, and possibly myself, so just let us see it so we can help Anonymous out :) Having read the poem, I am willing to summon my awesome powers of rhetoric to syntactically simulate the orginal poem with its original beauty but sans objectionable material. Here it goes: ahem,.. talking quiet my lovely snowflake, i'd love to frolic in the grass with you, and be the bird that sings your song. my want be the raindrops on your rose, and the whiskers on your kitten. I want to be your favorite thing. Why are you yelling. Sorry, that was me. I want to go where everybody knows your name. I want to be like a snowflake on your hijab, my dear friend(ie at a respectful distance with no eye contact) I'll be the horizon, and you the sun. Let us set together. Thank you. Now, I'm serious about Jannah publishing the original. There are two possible solutions: A. In order to ensure that the voice of all users on this board are heard in a truly public forum, to ensure domestic tranquility, and form a more perfect union: use a democratic voting system, ie. yell at Jannah and tell her to print it. B. Ask Saleema. Wassalam :) props to se7en for aiding me in my awesome rhetorical prowess. |

| Assalamu alaikum, Props to Jannah for making sure that only "appropriate" poems are posted on the board. Sorry lightningatnite, my vote is NAY :) I think there has to be a line drawn between what is appropriate material for an Islamic board and what is not. The poem may be ok for a married couple, but please don't torture the bachelors on the board by making them read a poem that they can't say to anyone ... yet!! :) Wassalamu alaikum. |

| Assalamoalykum, Brother Arsalan, that "Yet..." , what does that mean? Are shanian about to sound for you? :) hehe. I will have to read the lyrics in order to cast my vote. ( I am engaged, so does that make it ok for me? Since I am only engaged, i won't send any poems to him. In fact, I am not big on receiving corny love poems and stupid flowers. And I sure as heck will never stoop down to giving such things. So do I qualify to read it? IM me :) ) Lightning At Nite, You seem like a talented writer, like your sister, even though I have read only one of your editorial? essay? But bro. that poem was.... not at all romantic, it was funny and in that respect i liked it a lot. :) :) No offense. Wassalam |

dear lightning at nite, bum by day why don't you go to school oh yeah i forgot you have holiday as for posting the poem i must indeed say nay i know it's your desperate wish for me these lyrics to display but alas you must go and write your own and leave "anonymous" and this fray for you aren't as good a poet i'm afraid and might need a few weeks, months or a May to complete your own love ballad but as for who would fall for it... who's to say! |

| slm As they say in Pakistan, "Vah vah". I had no idea Jannah knew how to write poetry, but I see that the talent seems to be spread out to all members of the family. |

| Assalamoalykum, Lightning At Nite, don't be sad. If in life I ever see you, or if I see Jannah or Se7en, I will give them a cookie to give it to you. :) ProudToMuslim wrote a nice poem about you. Will that make you happy? "Lightning At Nite, Thunder by day, Is the storm really that far away?" I am sure, someday a really nice sis will fall for one of your poems from at a distance with no eye contact. Wassalam |

| Salam :) Zakk, I beg your pardon, my lady. Ok, the moment you've all been waiting for, Anonymous you better thank me for this cause I'm gonna get in trouble for it, the moment of truth... [Moderators Note: Poem Deleted] Hahah just kidding...here it is: Silent Whisper She speaks when no one else does. The night sky is her whisper. The stars are her eyes, Mine meet hers. The soft grass is her hands, I run my fingers through, we touch. The sunlight is her warm breath, moving gently across my face. Wherefore is your whisper so silent, Whilst you language is so loud! Quiet, girl, and give ME a chance to talk, To hold you, to whisper in your ears. To be the wind in your hair, The pleasant breeze that lulls you to sleep. When will our silent whispers join like two solitary snowflakes, Falling into the moonlit night? When, my love, shall we finally meet, And become like our hearts already are? Anonymous, if I were you, I'd send it to her, but I'm a stupid guy so wait and see what the sisters have to say :) :) Wassalam :) |

| slm Mashalah, that is beautiful! In my opinion, I have to agree with Jannah- it's too much for those who are not married. What a great gift that would be for a husband to give to his wife... |

| It's very nice... for married people... a little too forward to pass on anonymously to a sister without her freaking out and getting a court order :) |
