In Too Deep

In Too Deep


I fall deep into this
Eternal feeling of submission
The depths of belief 
Open up for exploration

Am I blinded by the treasure?
The chest filled with desire?
Lust and gold all in one
Rubies and sapphires

Or am I here to find solace
Where the sounds of life are muted
Floating in liquid space
The atmosphere is therapeutic

Escape escape escape
From the life outside my mind
Retreat retreat retreat
To this little world of mine

Take each living day
A small step at a time
Never rush when in the ocean
For you never know what you may find

The sea of knowledge may overpower
Crush your body and drag your soul
So you must learn to swim with the current
Not too fast yet not too slow

Ask for guidance from up above
To show you which path is for the righteous
And thank the Lord of peace and love
When faced with waves of desires and tyrants

Don’t lose hope when in too deep
For the water will embrace your journey quietly
Spend your life searching for that which you seek
Is seeking you undeniably.

The War for Hearts

The War for Hearts


Having strange dreams 
Of a place I once a knew  
A life left behind
A life without you

Don't wake me up 

from this dream I called love 
For the moments are precious 
Like each drop from above 

The rain it falls

On this torn battleground
A war between two parts of one
Where no love can be found

The ego is guarded with broken memories

The soul is armed with the words of God 
The heart is the prize
For both contributing sides
But if this war continues they shall have it not 

The scars are deep

Each blink of an eye
Is ticking away at the hands of time 
Wounds do heal 
And memories fade 
But strange dreams always take me back to yesterday 

So while two sides fight for 

The heart in me
It is locked in a chest 
All alone in the sea 

The waves of battle crash 

Against the wall of the chest 
Each painful blow
Felt far beyond the breast 

And I wonder why

I dip high and dip low 
The waves of the ocean 
Aren't straight and so 

They carry this box 

Through the dangers of life 
My heart laying rest
In the hands of the devil 

But The Lord up above 

Returns love justly 
And so this heart in a basket 
Will never fall into peril 

It will grow in the dark 

It will seek for the truth 
It will commit grave sins 
And then hide from the news 

It will spend some years in complete solitude 

And then some years more in complete servitude 

Until it has learned that

The One who created it 
Was the One who filled it 
With love for all of you.




"
River, oh river

Flow gently for me

Such precious cargo you bear...

Do you know somewhere

He can live free

River, deliver him there"

26.02.89

The day I was born.

What does the Quran say?

Chapter 26:  Ash-shu'ara' The Poets
Verse 02: These are verses of the book that make (things) clear
Verse 89: But only he (will prosper) that brings to Allah a sound heart;

Al-hamdulillah!! Amazing what messages I find when seeking for the One.

All praises be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
