| Salaam I'm a regular member here but I thought I'd post anonymously today because I wanted to share a poem I wrote some time ago which I came across again yesterday. Mash'Allaah you guys are really talented and poetic, so this isn't as good as what u guys post. But anyway, after I found my poem yesterday I thought I'd put it up here. I don't write happy happy stuff, for some reason i write dark poems or sad ones, am not sure what that says about me! Anyways this poem isn't very good, I wrote it when I was upset because i thought I was going to let my Dad down over something, so basically the person I'm refering to is my father. And it's not really a poem as such. But hope u enjoy it anyway. I never try to do anything That I know will earn your anger I listen to you tentatively I speak when you ask of me I work hard so as never to fall in your eyes I watch what I say As I know you never like a harsh word I try to be patient But then, I am me and you are you I can never live up to your name Regardless of how much I admire you Regardless of how much I respect you All I can ever do Is fail you. |

| [slm] I think that was good. Poems that come staright from the heart are extra special As for writing sad poems more than happy ones, that isn't unusual. I'm pretty sure most poetry in this world are more about hurtful times than happy ones. I'm like that too, most of the poems I write are written when I'm sad or upset about something. It's ok though, it can help you let go of your sadness ... and then.... smiiiile :) :) :) wassalam |

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes Both my joys and sorrows I stored But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as before With curiosity, I opened the black I wanted to find out why And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to (Allah)God, and mused aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could be." He smiled a gentle smile at me." "My child, they're all here with me." I asked, "(Allah)God, why give me the boxes, Why the gold, and the black with the hole?" "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go." -- Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful ... -- [/font][/size][/color] [wlm] |
