-
I prayed for so many years,
years seemed to fly by without an answer
-
Take a number and have seat, the government is not one to defeat,
-
I lay awake as you sleep by my side almost lifeless, statue-like
-
-
Entranced by a single tear drop floating down the cheeks of the sinful
-
-
You and me we come from the same fabric, woven together merely by chance,
-
What could touch me deeper than a smile from your face?
-
Sanity slips thorough cracks in broken sidewalks
-
I can’t explain this to you, you’d never understand.
-
The sun was too bright today, too bright for the way I’ve been feeling.
-
Hair all a flame, with a bench between your knees,
-
He says, what is it baby? What can I do for you?
-
I must have been bad, I must have been terrible,
-
With a wink and smile,
you toss you instructions on a long taxi ride,
-
Welcome to our AP land,
where poets develop art
-
There is a cage of darkness, in which my soul is held.
-
Mama you tried, tried so hard, to give us what we needed.
-
Where are our brothers and sisters when we need them? They are bombing us and destroying our land, our mosques, our people.
-
Speak gently child, for who knows what hand
-
Band-Aids and bows, yes and no,
-
Talons and tea-leaves told me... this storm would come through,
-
Tripping over my scattered dreams, I stumble upon a memory, baked into clay.
-
-
4:15 am, its cold without you, as the clock ticks my life away,
-
Mother Nature hear me out, there’s something I need to talk to you about
-
You take me; you take me down deep, deeper than I could ever imagine babe,
-
Bitter defeat killing me, endless retreat hear my plea.
-
1. whispers against lace 2. vanity's forsaken
-
Azure breezes fell upon pale skin, yearning delight from wave’s crash,
-
live peacefully, gently and in God you shall trust,
for this is a faithful Muslim’s role.
-
silver web sharing azure skies over home again,
-
Hey girl, with your bright eyes wide, don’t you know when you smile you make the world go ‘round,
-
-
Mascara running down her face, she waits an eternity,
a lady in waiting, for her lover to return.
