Hey everyone, these are all the poems I have written so far in order, I will number them, and the first few are religious. 1. ...And I will Remember You Everyone wants a new car Everyone wants a nice house Everyone wants to look good But they forget what lifes about For it is true, More poor will see Paradise Than greedy old kings Put you faith in Al-Muhaymin And keep you heart away from sin For it is to Allah that we belong And to Him that we return We live by His will and die by His will So if you do good then do not fret As when you are in the grave the Angels shall say: " O, dear servant be not Afraid of having died this day, For as Allah said "Remember Me And I shall remember you" And you have remembered Allah So how could He forget you?" 2. Bring Your Own Cup Like a skipping record My heart calls Your name Saying:"O, Allah! Won't You come to visit me today?" In spiritual poverty I try to find You Calling:"Dear Allah! I search for I need You with me" On Your knowledge may I become drunk! Opening my eyes and looking up My, how my vision is clear and my mind quiet Believe me The Lords wine is the sweetest drink But to have it you must bring your own cup! 3. Just One Kiss My Lovers name is the only one that sweetens my tongue But, shhhh! Not to loud Or it may escape My heart is where my Love resides Yes, within me, for I could never put my Love on the street Too many secrets are hidden away So I wait for that one kiss when all will be known That one kiss and my heart is complete I wait for Your kiss Please, just one kiss 4. A Secret I was told a secret last night It made me laugh Even though I wanted to cry It's funny how things work Searching so long outside When it was inside Please, bring the Light A little closer Maybe open up your eyes Because my secret Really isn't A secret 5. I Have to go Dance Maybe if I could sip What the Angels were drinking My heart would sing a song A drunk song albeit But only on knowledge Maybe if you had a sip We could laugh together If only for a minute And I can sing you my song But not now I have to go dance 6. The Sorrow of Angels O, Lord You have brought me into this Dying pasture My mind is a word you May better understand I now see how everything is So far Trees but a blue drop In my river of tears My heart so empty Your name hath done So to me Reason? O, reason is something I feel not in here My empty sorrow Is Your message Sent down by Angel, and Whispered into my ear 7. Like A Pond I am but a reflection Like a pond That a stone has been tossed into Not the best But when the waves settle My Beloved can Clearly be seen In me 8. Please Flood My heart is A cup Being softly held Attempting to catch Every drop of Your Love Quietly asking God Please flood Please flood 9. While I was On My Knees While I was on My knees I saw Your Compassion And I must ask Why do You Care for us? We cannot help You But yet You help Us Gentle in all Your actions Seeing this My Love is coming True 10.No Fun Come! Come! Gather 'round God! So many stories Are told that My mind fills with grace Just wait 'till You see His marvelous Dancing Spinning, curling,leaping Asking all: "Take My hand" Grab hold Because, believe me, Dancing alone is No fun 11. A Nice Fire winterly landscape, Such was my soul Walking in darkness Unable to see Trees of black, Malicious intent Shaytan was Stalking me O, but look A small Glowing Ash I blow and It grows A nice Fire I have Only Gods Flame Will warm you Soul Turning it from Black winter Into Beautiful Spring 12. Seducer I am but a Seducer Singing and dancing Making my joints Looser Bringing more than gold and Myrrh Just to bring Him a little bit Closer Tying Him with ribbon and Lace To pull Him in and Kiss His face 13. A Drop of Rain Life can be bitter and cold Or happy and bright Dancing in The Moons light Don't make it hard for Me Bang the tambourine Against your knee Don't be afraid to Sing, Spin Remember You are your kin Some think I'm insane Because I was told this by A Drop of Rain 14. Vain Shortcomings What are poems? Meaningless words Put together in attempt To get across a message? Or non-message? Pleasantries of the Apocalyptic field Carefully preserved In the amber of Buried memories Dug up in the face Of regret? Words are like Streams to rivers Ponds to oceans Vain shortcomings Of the larger Emotion 15. Your Relation I think I understand Comfort and pleasure Short periods of brief Forgetfulness Always replaced by Reality Which can only Be called so According to measure Of your tear Which may or may not Be put in place by Your relation 16. Cage Bird Put away Forgotten Why? O, lightness of Spring air Left me with A bell chiming sorrow Into a blade Which could easily slay Or heal hearts with its Power Vessel which is measured In space rather than Completeness Who is to say if The cage bird sings? 17. Be Dead Only hollow Skulls grasp life For sometimes Loss results in Understanding So please, Be Dead And know your place |

Definitely enjoyed Please Flood the most  It caught the essence of "saying something without coming right out and saying it", which is I think the key to a lot of learning how to write well. Bravo.-Adam |

I loved #4 and #5. Is there any special reason you posted them all together? To me, they stand on their own. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

16. Cage Bird Put away Forgotten Why? O, lightness of Spring air Left me with A bell chiming sorrow Into a blade Which could easily slay Or heal hearts with its Power Vessel which is measured In space rather than Completeness Who is to say if The cage bird sings? Welcome to Pip! (Please from now on post one at a time, because your poems deserve attention) I especially loved this one. My husband has a saying on the cage birds: "Uccello in gabbia non canta per amor canta per rabbia" This is Italian and it means that the cage birds do not sing out of love, but out of frustration. It's so sad. You conveyed the atmosphere well. Love, Margherita |

I hear your heart's song in each of the poems and agree that each poem would stand on its own....but as a collection they are especially pleasing. Very melodic writing, Poet! Welcome to PIP......*smiles*.....jo |
