~ Fill Me With Love ~

Fill me up when I am empty,
Like no one else has done;
Pour warmth into my spirit,
Like rays from summer sun.

Like rain upon the desert,
On a dry and barren land;
You cause my soul to blossom,
With touch from gentle hands.

And like the breeze of springtime,
Gently 'cross my body blows;
Igniting there a flame of fire,
That sets my heart aglow.

You've placed a seed within me,
That has grown into a vine;
Of sheer unbridled passion,
Tendrils curled and intertwined.

Fill me up when I am empty,
Like an overflowing cup;
No one else has ever filled me so,
Yet my Love, you fill me up.

A Friend Unseen ...........

It's strange to have a friend

That you have never hugged

Lightly touched their arm

Or looked into their eyes

But ...

They have touched your soul

Felt their heart 

Been embraced by

The warmth of their being

A friend unseen

Is not a friend untouched

The eyes of the soul will gaze

The heart will embrace

The image will stand tall

But ..

only in dream

SOMETIMES I FEEL .........

Sometimes I feel
We shouldn't touch,
Yet feel each other
Through our eyes.

Sometimes I feel
We shouldn't speak
Yet listen each other
Through our breaths.

Sometimes I feel
We shouldn't meet,
Yet feel each other
In each other's heat.

~ A River Of Tears ~

 





Meandering through the corners of the Eyes,
Few drops of liquid fall,
Men called it Tears,
Pain, joy, fear and lovely memories all it expresses,

Following a line, crossing the cheek,
Wetting the face, like drops of pearl they shine,
A silent symbol of pain,
A testimony of mind's agony,
A natural catharsis of the emotional and physical stress,
A way to feel better, a path to solace,

Heart gives the first signal when the river of tear is going to be on the high tide,
It may be the time you had a baby, it may be the time you met with an accident,
May be the time your loved one bid you a final goodbye,
May be you won a prize,
May be you lost a game after years of working hard,

Be it a joy or a pain,
Heart begins to feel heavy, face anxious,
Stimulating the tear buds, eyes experience a whirlpool
Often you try, but you can't control,
Tears are such, if they once start, you can't stop,
Defying all the laws of dynamics,
They break free the chains of eyes,
And start flowing till they dry,

Assumed as a sign of weakness, they are hardly those,
For they represent a source of strength,
For all I could do when I saw the distance between you and me growing,
Was to let these Tears answer everything,
Conveying all the love, all the grief, in few drops of water,

Now, when you are infinitely separated,
I have made a river of Tears,
and I sail my life-boat often in it, in times of desperation,
Searching you on the shores of memory,
Often I get your glimpse, often I don't,
I emerge out from it as a winner, defying all odds...
But still with few drops of Tears on my cheek,
As a mark that I miss you...

~ Love ~

love is like
a mailbox
it's pointless
and void
if no mail enters

Love is not
permanent
it appears
and disappears

But true love
endures
like the air we
breathe
it constantly
keeps us alive

A perfect body
will not function
without air and water
Love is like these gems
always precious
often polluted

True love is distilled water
it's simple and pure
but sublimer and greater
than worldly lures. 

~ Value ~

When your dreams
are disrupted
and your voice is
blocked,

be patient

As long as whatever
is good for you
is good for your kin
continue

For that which is ugly
but true, 

has a higher value, 

than that which is
pretty but false.

~ If I knew you and you knew me ~

If I knew you and you knew me

If both of us could clearly see

And with an inner sight divine

The meaning of your heart and mine

I'm sure that we would differ less

And clasp our hands in friendliness

Our thoughts would pleasantly agree

If I knew you and you knew me ....

New Directions ~

Ideas and images swirl in my mind

coalesce into thoughts

about where I have already been

and need not go again.

But where then?

Which is the new direction?

I think I know pretty well

how I spin on my axis,

rotate through sun and shadow,

night and day.

But my orbit is less clear.

I still can find

the simple surge of joy

in discovering

my own gravitational pull,

knowing I won’t spin off

at some wild tangent,

nor will I

mindlessly

whirl in place.

I’ll take my bearings

in constellations

slowly changing

as I look into my night sky

for stars beckoning

brightly

and those still unknown.

The nexus is between being

and waiting

 readying for the new wave forming

to roll through space,

lifting me to new

approximations,

different distances,

newer milky ways.

~ Dont Forget Allah ~

you're down and out
you just cant cope
You wanna shout
you lost all hope
On your knees, begging please
You turn and pray to find your way

Hey, you make doa Allah’s there
whoever you are cos he cares
Then you forget to say thank you Allah ,
You forget to say Insyallah
You forget to say Subhanallah
Raise your hands
Alhamdulillah
lets flashback lets backtrack
to a time like yours and mine
The story of the three who long to be
to be free of their misery

To the poor he opened the doors
gave him plenty of His bounty

Then you forget to say thank you Allah
You forget to say InsyaAllah
You forget to say SubhanaAllah
Raise your hands Alhamdulillah

Can’t you see His promise to you
Can’t you see His promise is true
Hold on to the rope of Allah
Don’t lose hope in Allah

 If you remember Allah in prosperity
He’ll not forsake you in adversity
Be mindful of Allah
He’ll guide you to all that His good

Then you forget, to say thank you Allah
You forget to say InsyaAllah
You forget to say SubhanaAllah
Raise your hands, Alhamdulillah
you're down and out
you just cant cope
you wanna shout
you lost all hope
On your knees
begging please
You turn and pray
to find your way

DON'T FORGET ALLAH by FARID SANULLAH

Let's Talk About Love ...........

Everywhere I go
all the places that I've been
Every smile's a new horizon
On a land I've never seen
There are people around the world
different faces different names
But there's one true emotion that
reminds me we're the same
Let's talk about love

From the laughter of a child
To the tears of a grown man
There's a thread that runs right through us
And helps us understand
As subtle as a breeze,
that fans a flicker to a flame
From the very first sweet melody
To the very last refrain

 Let's talk about love
Let's talk about us
Let's talk about life
Let's talk about trust
Let's talk about love

It's the king of all who live
And the queen of all good hearts
It's the ace you may keep up your sleeve
Till the name is all but lost
As deep as any sea, with the rage of any storm
But as gentle as a falling leaf
On any autumn morn

Let's talk about love
Let's talk about us
Let's talk about life
Let's talk about trust
Let's talk about love


Let's talk about love
(it's all we're needin')

Let's talk about us
(The air we're breathin')

Let's talk about life
(I wanna know you)

Let's talk about trust
(I wanna show you)


Everywhere I go
All the places that I've been
Every smile's a new horizon
 On a land i've never seen
There are people around the world
Different faces different names
But there's one true emotion
That reminds me we're the same

Uhhh! Let's talk about love
Let's talk about us
Let's talk about life
Let's talk about trust
Let's talk about loooove!

It's all we're needin'
The air we're breathin'

It's all we're needin'!
The air we're breathin'!
Baby...uhhh
It's in the air that we breath
Let's talk about loooove!!....

~ The Other Side of Now ~

 Can you throw yourself over
the edge
of the moment?

cross the divide
between where you’ve been,
and where you might begin
a new direction?
You can see it plainly,
the path behind
—lake gleaming in the sun
dark shadows beneath the rocks,
holes plunging into the past—
but ahead, around the bend
is only sky,
blue with promise
and only smallest clouds
on the horizon
to signal storms ahead. 


You sit on a rock,
eat cherries,
drink cool, clear water
look out at the lake’s bright surface,
reflecting.



Going ahead is not the question.
It’s how you see it,
whether to continue,
or throw yourself ahead
into the mystery,
with no maps,
no charts,
only hope
that a way will open before you
with some sign,
—a lucky penny
or smooth, sleek rock
or tree aflame at sunset—
to tell you to have faith,
to take your bearings
from a newer
brighter star.

~ The Past ~

Pieces of the past.

Slipping away.

Will I forget today?

Pieces of the past.

Discarding me.

Do I want to be free?

Pieces of the past.

Finally slipped away.

I grabbed the future.

~ You Can ~

If you could see through my eyes,

I wonder what you’d be feeling right now,

Because I can see you standing

As you really are -

Powerful, sensitive, determined, and gracious.

I can see you achieving everything you choose to achieve.

I can see you being exactly who and what you want to be.

Look through my eyes for an instant,

And you’ll see yourself

Conquering all limitations.

Look through my eyes,

And see who you really are

And what you are capable of.

You can accomplish anything –

I know you can.

The Soul and Love.

The Soul and Love..............

The soul and love became united,

Then into this realm they both came,

Together they’re always undivided,

Joined forever their source the same.

After the two were mingled and blended,

In a mixing that took place in such a way,

That all their boundaries were transcended,

Since then united they have always remained.

And so it was in this amazing manner,

That love and the soul were forever blended,

Joined by the One Who is the best Planner,

Both vanish in this mixture so splendid.

From the very strength of this blended state,

The soul with love has become united,

Which is the essence and which is the trait,

I don’t see how this could be decided.

Maybe it’s love that’s become the essence,

While it’s attribute may be the soul,

Not knowing which has become the quintessence,

I can’t say which one plays which role.

I can’t really say if it’s this way or that,

I just don’t know what it is in the end,

There’s no other way I can’t be exact,

This mixture is such a wonderful blend.

The result of this process was awesome indeed,

Both love and the soul forever connected,

The two of them speak and the words each one heeds,

Mingled and blended together protected.

The basis of love is said to be fire,

While the soul is derived from the wind,

The wind itself it ignites this blazing fire,

And the fire then consumes the wind again.

(april 2009)

~ It Will Come ~

It Will Come ........

When life’s largest pressures leave you struck dumb,

Just search for an answer;

 the solution will come.

When a tragedy occurs leaving you feeling numb,

Just wait for your health;

the strength will come.

When everyone relies on you and there is no way you can see,

Trust your mind to think with time;

patience is the key.

When you have made it where others always flee,

Just wait to gather courage;

 soon you’ll be where you want to be.

When it is nearing the end and you’re in need,

Muster up your courage; endurance will lead.

IT WILL COME

~ Love Story ~

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With Angel songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That any where I go, I'm never lonely

With her along who could be lonely
I reach for her hand, it?s always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

Remembering You

Remembering You ........

If something were to happen to you tomorrow, 

what would people remember about you?

Would they remember the hours you worked?

Would they remember the material things you own?

Would they remember how much money you had in the bank?

Would they remember the number of vacations you took?

Would they remember the love you showed?

Would they remember your caring and your sharing?

Would they remember the help you gave them?

Would they remember your smile, your laugh?

What will they remember?......

Your actions today will

determine what they will remember.

Sometimes in love

Sometimes in love the words of
The heart fail to come out in the open
They remain unspoken but manage to
Become the focal-center of the existence



Sometimes in love, you love your
Beloved more than love itself
And yearn for his companionship
More than life itself



Sometimes in love, your very love
Results in your love being snatched away
Every step you take towards him
Takes you a mile away from him



Sometimes in love when you feel
Your happiness lies with someone
You are forced to give him
His happiness and yours
Even if you aren't a part of it



Sometimes in love when you feel
You feel you want to hold on
You have to let go your love fully
To be able to hold on to at least some part



Sometimes in love when you want to
Completely occupy him forever
You have to move out entirely to be
In some part of it forever



Sometimes in love when you want to
Keep the flame of love alive
You have to got to bury it deep
Not because you have stopped loving him
But because you love him all the more

~ Failure ~

Failure

It’s only a word.

But it carries with it so much pain

and so little concern

so much frustration

and so little respect,

so much stress and so little

understanding

that people spend their lives

running through their days

in the hope of avoiding the long arm

of this little word.

To test our vision, you must risk

failure.

To temper your ego, you must attempt

the impossible.

To tell your story, you must

take a chance.

To see beyond the horizon, you must

spread your wings.

To be all you can be, you must

stretch, flex, try, and go beyond

your proven limits.

To bridge the silence, you must risk

rejection.

To advance into the unknown, you must

risk the peril of all your

previous beliefs and emotions

that feel so secure.

Failure is not negative. It is a teacher.

It molds, refines, and polishes you

so that one day your light will

shine for all to see.

It isn’t the failure you experience

that will determine your destiny,

but your next step and then the next

that will tell

the story of your life.

~ Jigsaw Puzzle ~

It seems that Life
Could be compared to a giant jigsaw puzzle
With each person like each piece
Having a place where they fit perfectly
Yet so many in there need to belong
Grab the first place they come to
Then try to make it fit

And because of this
They are never quite in harmony
With their adjoining pieces
Thus they never get to know
The way it was truly
Meant to be
