Man’s Rejuvenation
The garden begins beautifying bloom
As the birds start tweeting harmony’s tune
Waking all nature from its dormant time
Into a rainbow of brightness In June
That destroyed depression as nature’s
Beauty envelopes symphony’s prayers
Lifting soul from morass of stagnation.
Its simple beauty reigns supreme over
All that man turns complex When it’s simple
Pleasures around are enjoyed better
When all is shared with loved ones, whose ample
Support surrounds us in a balm of peace
As contemplation of beauty helps fleece
Negative into positivity.

Best Friend
Her shiny mahogany violin
Lays gently under her chin
As she strums lyrics of a magical
Build, pleasing the listener in a sparkle
Of harmonious sounds transporting
Her into a veiled world, rosy, blessing
Its concordance in a cacophony
Of rhythms rumbling, hurtling freely,
Soaring into the sky, leaving stress
Behind a locked door that’ll impress
Those who wish the reality rather
Then the dreamy world of a conqueror.
She strums her harmonious melody,
Alone, in a forest filled with astoundingly
Cohesive creatures within nature’s
Bounty that she serenades with music’s layers
Of joy filled cries in reply to strumming
Violin notes flung into the breeze, melding
Soundlessly within the whistling
Air that rustles the leaves’ dancing.

Sounds of War
Drum, drum, drum,
Drum the stoned bun,
Turn it around and run.
Drum, drum, drum,
The hum of whizzing stones
Drop like bombs on bones.
Crunch, crunch, crunch,
Rush to flee debris from a thump
That hits the head, and you’re dead! No pomp!
Stomp, stomp, stomp,
On the stoned cement
Fallen from bombardment ..
Cave, cave, cave,
Under the hopelessly inhumane
Conditions of decayed bodies, pain …
Rotting, rotting, rotting
Away in the streets, floors underground
With broken walls, furniture burying you, never found …
Slowly, slowly, slowly,
Killing you with death around you,
Within you, captivating you in its horror’s view.
Boom, boom, boom,
The shaking, quaking resulting
In fear spreading like bird songs floating …
Wheezing, wheezing, wheezing,
Trying to breathe under the rubble
Is like being buried alive in moving sands in a cuddle.

Rebuild Her Vision
In her mind’s eye, she sees the new,
New city built on the ashes, rubble,
Rubble and destruction of war,
War that took away family,
Family whose lives were taken,
Taken violently in bombs,
Bombs whose yield was astounding,
Astounding even objective observers,
Observers of world’s humanity,
Humanity whose humane compassion,
Compassion never fails to rise,
Rise in younger generations,
Generations whose conscience,
Conscience in battling against oppression,
Oppression of the Indigenous,
Indigenous populations for material,
Material resources that rebuild,
Rebuild what was destroyed,
Destroyed cities become futuristic,
Futuristic, symmetric, organized,
Organized to represent power,
Power of Faith’s survival,
Survival among death’s door,
Door that opens into a brilliant,
Brilliant future, where equality,
Equality, wisdom, harmony,
Harmony of races, understanding,
Understanding that unity,
Unity is forged in steel,
Steel that has a feel,
Feel for needs of families,
Families whose support, love,
Love and ambition is a construct,
Construct of a world of utopian,
Utopian haven on earth’s astounding,
Astounding beauty that enraptures,
Enraptures our imagination into,
Into creating our heavenly vision.

Remorseful Actions
As the guilt presses down on my heart,
I look into the sky towards your hut,
Where your gardens prosper,
And delicacies abound, but never shatter
Your serenity that enrobes contrition
With a balm of faith leading to absolution
For actions that might have created
A snow ball of reactions that fenced
Calamities in your midst, propelling
You into regretful actions causing
Others pain while striving not to fall
Apart while the pressure turns into a ball
Of explosive events
That need you to barter millions of cents
For your soul in penitence
For actions coming out of ignorance.

Rainbow of Rain
Rainbowed love starts
In red hot passions
To orange hearts expanding,
To yellow glow brightening
The green of acceptance, change,
And growth whose prosperity
Turns into liquid blues,
Those of summer skies
Filled with potential of rains
That alter fallow lands
Into plentiful harvests.
The same as love’s abilities
To change others from singles
To a unit that expands
With the colors of rainbows
That are always varied,
Exiting changes that carried
Your worries under two mind
Supporting one another in a find
Filled well of love that carries
Change like loving swaddles
Embraced in four arms of loves.
The journey begins with a meeting,
Attraction, connection, all can be fleeting,
But you sacrifice, compromise, communicating
All your hopes, then, them entwining
Like the purple wisteria, two souls
Becoming one, growing a family that cools
Their stresses, soothes their anger,
As their flow is like the ocean water,
At times tranquil, others terrifying squalls
That end in making up sessions, falls,
Never, for they’re committed
To one another, wedded.

ABSTINENCE
Abstaining from depravity is an intelligent
Bargain with yourself to protect and
Secure a future of health, success
Teaming with family that never succumb,
Intentionally, from discipline’s strength,
Needing its support to raise a new
Ethical generation away from
Never ending distractions that
Center around immorality
Ending with the dissolution of society.

Ramadan Goodbye
As the last prayers of the night end,
Tears rain down on the ground
Turning into a pond,
A pond filled with sorrow as fasting
Ends, our togetherness stuttering,
Our veneration For HIM unending.
Though the days for repentance
Will return in another year, I hope my lance
Of piety, strength in faith will take a stance
In the forefront of my life
Never leaving my side to be rife
With uncertainty that leads to strife.
Oh ye days of Quranic revelation
Come back swiftly with permission
To stay longer in our hearts as compassion,
Veneration and humbleness stay
Enslaved within our hearts to pray
For your return and never be gray.
