Soulfully

Scarred

2011-01-22T03:04:00.000-08:00

There was this man...

My heart stood still.

His hands are deeply scarred

His eyes tired and meaningless

While he struggles to give a meaning

to his empty world.

Look at the visions of life

how it varies

seemingly opposites.

You need to know

where the line draws

not from where you are

but from where you don't see

Your imagination can lie..

Even with open eyes

The mind steals reality

for a man who is deeply scarred.

(This poem was inspired by a friend who narrated to me his struggles in life. He lost his job and family. I listened intently. I wish could inspire him to deal with life positively but while I listened to him, I know he is nowhere in reality. His soul seems gone though he still breathes to live...only to breathe but not to really live.)

Inside Of Me..

2010-11-07T04:52:00.000-08:00

I Found A Special Niche
Somewhere inside of me
I spend much time
To Find answers
For All My Questions
On Love and Peace
On Humanity....
But I realized..
The answers are just inside of me...

Wish Land..

2010-11-06T22:04:00.000-07:00

A unicorn and butterflies....
Only in wonderland..
I am not Alice, I am Bai...
So I am in my real world...
But sometimes I see this vision too..
Living in a fairy's world..
But reality is a breathe away...
Illusion is just a fantasy...

It is TIME..

2010-11-05T19:23:00.000-07:00

Tick tack
Hear the clock?
Where is your spirit?
Dreams will soon pass
Time ticks
Why did you not act?

Tick tack
Your time passed by
What are you doing?
Just remembering?
Where will it take you?
Time ticks
Why did you yield?

Tick tack
Come in, run fast
Hurricane will strike
Where are you hiding?
You will be thrown to ocean
Swimming but drowning?
Time ticks
Why are you lost in time?

Tick tack
Tick tack
Come, stand up
Stay standing
Swim fast
Be not drowned
Faced the hurricane
Be a tree of strength
Time ticks
But every second
is now in your hand...

Love of no position

2010-11-04T18:39:00.000-07:00

It is indeed emotions

That conquer a nation
Beyond Individualism
Uncollected civilization

Leaders of every nation
Meet opposition
But rulers with conviction
Stand with recognition
Personal emotions
Ruin reputations

So much affection
Sees no imperfection
In a situation
in love of no position

A Love fights without hesitation
A woman of no position
Loved by a ruler of a nation
Shall a leader be condemn
Loving a woman not his fame
Is he right or in confusion?
Where must he stand?
In such situation?

Tell me not
How rulers in the past
Fail in emotions
Loving the wrong ones
Fought for their loved ones

Emotions, mighty like King
No one can ever win

The World Of Poets

2010-11-02T04:25:00.000-07:00

The world of words
Wisdom and changes..
The world of essence
Depth and precision..
The world of abstract
Calculating and truth..

The world of beauty
sans distortion..
Such is our world
The world of the poets..
Poets see beauty
in every ugliness..
Poets see a smile
for every drop of tears..

Poets see the sun
in the middle of the night..
Poets see vision
in the middle of hopelessness..

Our minds refuse to yield..
Our hearts house our wondrous thoughts..

For every lines we write..
A part of us is shared..

The world of poets is rich..
Full of wit and color..

We refuse to see the black that appalled us..

We choose to see the glow in the dark..

The world of poets is the best..
We can state our inner mind..
We can unveil our hearts..
Through our lexicon
of love, life,and romance..

We motivate others..
Out of the struggles we made,
We impart a lesson.. to guide
to put a smile
in our reader's lips..

We are here to describe and inspire..
From the bottom of our souls..
With the glow of our hearts
and kindred spirits too.

My Purpose

2010-11-02T01:30:00.000-07:00

A poem on purpose
I must express
I am a writer
A writer with a goal

My words shall heal
To fight upheaval
My purpose is to inspire
No negative satire
For I am a writer
I have a mission..

Everyone dreams
For mankind is a dreamer
Everyone hopes
For mankind is positive
No matter what the odds are
We must stand for a purpose
Mine is peace
To vanish war
Mine is positivism
To enlighten gloom
Mine is inspiration
To see life bloom

Mankind must diminish hate
For war kills faith
Mankind needs light
To conquer darkness at its height
Writers must lay down choices
Between words
Of bad and good

I am a writer
I shall write the melody
Where children can play
I shall write candies
For hurts to go away

I am your writer
When the world is cruel
I shall help to heal
I shall create a garden
Where flowers interplay
with wisdom of thoughts
with message of kindness

I am a writer
That is my purpose.

I am Not...

2010-10-18T18:18:00.000-07:00

I am not above you

I rest on your shoulder
I am not your enemy
Nor a sweet envy
Not to worry
I am your buddy
Appreciating you deeply

I am not a coward
I am your knight
Your smile is my might
Your words are my light

I am not alone
I have your hand
Holding me at dawn
As we stand under the rain
Allowing the force of life
To unite our minds

I am not somebody
I am your fate my buddy
which keeps me afloat and funny
I am not what I used to be
Because of you..
I am not.

No to War!

2010-10-16T18:45:00.000-07:00

This ugly image of war
leaves ghastly thoughts..
Shattered dreams of the past
Shakes the unknown future
War is nothing but a fire
Consuming peace and silent souls
God 's rain shall intervene
To cool down hatred's campaign.

Solitude with Nature

2010-10-08T19:19:00.000-07:00

Leaves frolic

Emotions at impasse

Racing in acclivity

Nothing to reprise...

let it be...

let it be..

Minding nothing but myself

barefoot on the sand

those eyes glued on me

Must it be another bother

In my interlude with nature

I shun to ken..

let it be..

I scorn no shadow

following my thoughts

I want to be alone

where no one lurks

It is my solitude

A moment for myself

The wind responds

with a poignant attack

Holding my breaths

skipping a heart beat

Must I dig deeper

Must I wonder..

let it be..

Immortal

2010-09-12T15:49:00.000-07:00

Immortal

By Princess Maleiha

Touch the unseen shadow

fading yet showing tomorrow..

vision of the unseen

clear in my cerebrum..

Hush, hush

such a cry, reverberating

To where are you going?

Turmoils of the ubiquitous mind

No respite yet unyielding

Two mindsets prevailing

Immortal is thy source..

Extreme in ideology

Boxed in hatred and dominion

Calloused by lust of conquest

This is not my fate..

Rising from peace

Prayers hope to subdue

the fire in the hearts

must go with the wind

to wash off the seed

remnants of inhumanity

but shall not be IMMORTAL.

Crush

2010-08-29T20:31:00.000-07:00

This is one cute poem that captured my mind,

from where I am at this moment.
Vacationing from posting on facebook
but I will always have time for poetry.
This is simple but anyone can relate
for it happens to everyone
most of the time. --Princess Maleiha

The phone rings

My heart jumped

Birds chirping

Then doorbell rings

Who is at the door?

He smiled hello

His eyes glow

My crush came

Standing before me

a sweet surprise..

Come in, I said

Please feel at home

Have a seat

as my heart

skips a beat....

I will prepare some drink

Oh, no need, he said

Your smile is enough

To make me satisfied

My face blushed

He followed it with a wink

Does he know,does he know

He is my first crush?

I came here Janet

To ask you for a date

Can I ask you out?

I was silent

But ecstatic

Of course, of course

No problem Arthur

You will never be a bother..

Night has come

Do I look pretty?

In black dress

and red shoes?

His eyes adored me

I got answers

That fast, that sweet..

That romantic speed

He kissed me goodnight

on my cheeks.

I stood for hours

At the doorway

After his car swept away

He will be back

Am I going to have a heart attack?

My crush is now my prince

Charming as he has always been

Under the bed sheet

My thoughts drift

Hey Janet

You are taken

If love is here

Then it is heaven...

Talking about the lunacy of love..ha ha ha ha!

My Prince Charming

2010-08-26T01:30:00.000-07:00

Romeo and Juliet

Not to forget

Barbara Cartland

And her romance novels

In high-school

That was fun

Memories that made me smile..

In my solitude

My heart wondered

Where is my real prince?

Purity of heart

Untainted sincerity

Will he ever come

To rescue me?

Deeply I explored

Is there a prince

In this lunacy?

Is there a prince

in our privacy?

A prince as charming as a king

Rules and loves without fears

Will he come in my dreams?

Will he take me to his arms?

Alice would burst in laughter

As the princess wanders

From her room to wonderland

But love is just another tale

A fairytale but not to bail

for the heart of the princess

is not in jail..

In real life

Is there a prince?

Or is a prince a real tale?

Some think there is

Some act like kings

But all of them..

Are they not just

A shadow of a tale?

Gone Poetry?

2010-08-24T23:25:00.000-07:00

I used to write for Helium.

The writing site gave us a title to expound

about the possibility of a world

having no poetry...

hence this rhyme.~ Princess Maleiha

Gone poetry?

Gone expression

No extension

No Reflection

Gone poetry?

Painful existence

Mind imprisoned

Gone poetry?

Soul of words

Vanished in life

Rhymes unsang

Poems all gone

Inkless pen

paperless thoughts

Gone poetry?

Homeless in poverty

Rich in words

But lost in its essentiality..

Thoughts in My Deepest Solitude

By the Fireplace

Windows closed as we gazed at the light

By the fireplace tonight

Rays of shadow of sheets illuminating

By the fireplace entwined and imagining

Assisting the heat of the fire as warm bodies collide

By the fireplace as crackling and sizzling woods divide

Sharing secret stories and laughing it out

By the fireplace it would mean another bout

As the waves of the ocean running thunder to the shore

By the fireplace creative juices start to pour

Confessing and cracking jokes while gliding and fantasy telling

By the fireplace feeling the heat burning

A lurk of wounded thoughts to be consoled

By the fireplace creeping memories resolved

A gift of warm aspiration concluded the fix

By the fireplace awaiting for next

Watching the wood start to crumble and fade

By the fireplace as the smoke waved

Celebrating moments together

By the fireplace secured and feels forever

The secret of a love is there to stay

By the fireplace as it witnessed something more for another day.

Princess

2010-04-27T01:27:00.000-07:00

Born to every parents
Is a princess of their blood
In or out of nobility
Nothing separates the child
From parents of love
Who conceived her with God
For she is a gift
A lifetime reason
For a grand celebration....

Born to every family
Rich or Poor Alike
A lady with a mission
Gifted with a heart
of purpose and vision

She is a princess
Not of wealth
But of Passion

Every woman is a princess
For she is God sent
To create smiles
To inspire souls
To bridge humanity
With love and affection

Any lady
Born with refinement
Well-bred and true
is a princess
with or without
a blood right

For you..

2009-12-20T15:34:00.000-08:00

How shall I start To write
words from my heart
It seeks to convey
You are never at bay
I think of your destiny
As I think of mine

We must not play with time
Let us live in sublime
To empower hope
Inspire the lost
Lead them to A life of success..

This poem is for you
My distant friend
We are not strangers
For we are partners
We can make the world
A place for solace

Embracing hope
Burying hate
For you let us be one
Let me inspire you to be a great man

Facebook

2009-11-22T15:54:00.000-08:00

Facebook has hugged me
My friends love me

Donna, Tina, Mersiha and Meliha
All their love left on my page..
Oh who said
The net is a cage?
Only for those
Who masked their face
But to sincere friends
Like I have
I feel so gifted
so loved..

Yvonne, Cecil and Ray
Their words so lovely
Jing, Anna, Anne and more
You are in my heart
Need is say more?

Thank you my dear
My dear dear friends...
You are all loved
By me..

Horrible

2009-11-22T15:26:00.000-08:00

From my slumber

I awoke
Followed the murmur
Down the corridor
I heard and wonder
Screams of terror

I stood up from bed
With pains in my head
My steps followed
Deep voices I heard
Is it of anger
Or are they sad?

In the dark room
There stood a man
Mighty and proud
A lover to none
He looks so bad
He acts like God..

He held a knife
Reflecting the light
Silver and sharp
ready to strike
He raised his hand
Ran towards me
Oh My God!
He is after me!

I ran fast
No time to stop
Suddenly, I heard the clock

"Hey wake up dear,
It is time to bath"..

I saw the clock,
Tick, tack, tick, tack..
Thanks God
It was a dream
So really bad..

Calloused

2009-08-12T18:22:00.000-07:00

Do not tempt me to say
What will hurt the foolish you
My lips are sealed
and so are your truth
There is no reason
Why I must succumb
For I do not say yes
to falsity and lies..

I am calloused..
I feel no pain
For my heart is filled
with truth and joy..

The SIN

2009-07-07T20:14:00.000-07:00

Here is the sin
So is the sinner
You are the judge
Render your judgment

But are you sinless
Upright and taintless?

You are the reviewer
The perfectionist mentor
Rater of characters
You are the judge
Render the judgment

But are you sinless
Upright and taintless?

Men of races
Compete for aces
Characters masked
Superficially adjudged
Labeling is a crime
A sin of biased regime
Men pretend as masters
Facaded with conceit
Just and objectivity
Absent in actuality

Are you sinless
Upright and taintless?

We all sin
Humanity errs
In perfect harmony
A truth that must be told
Not in masks
Not with facades

A sinner is a man
His flaws inherent
His imperfections
Assess and comprehend

Assert Justice
For compassion
Judge not misjudge
You and I
Not taintless..

Empathize,realize
men has rights to change
Grant a second chance
For like you
He is human...

♡ Bodies merged..

Bodies Merged
by Bai Maleiha

Beyond logic
Passionately magic
Merged and ecstatic
Two souls in a click..

Strangers for a moment
Back in wonder lane
Temperatures heighten
Alluring glances
Mystifying smiles
Two souls intertwines

Love in its complexity
Eludes mystery

BODIES MERGED
as one entity
Two souls not in disparity
Two hearts in unity..

❥ Feed me with Strawberries..

2009-05-23T20:59:00.001-07:00

♡ Good day dear friends..this photo is not mine.

What inspired me to share this is the fact that
our daily breakfast is the first meal of the
day that must nourish our body..and most
importantly, our souls too.

Feeding your loved ones is not enough for
you must always remember that the soul
needs nourishment too..♡

This poem is for all...

Feed me with strawberries.
By Bai Maleiha

The morning is here
and you are near
Nothing is sweeter
than a love spoken
so I have one thing
to do this morning
that is to feed you
with strawberries...

Red as strawberry
is the blood in my heart
beating as your half
wanting to make you smile..
If there is one thing
That I ache to do darling..
That is to inspire you
Every moment of our days...

Feed me with strawberry
That one that lives in you..
your sweet words of merry
your kind compassionate way...

That is enough
to make my day..♡

(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FOR MY POEM)

There never was a moment..

2009-05-22T03:27:00.000-07:00

♡...That I stopped thinking of you

You just enter my thoughts
in the shadow of the night
making me feel I am watched
by the murmurs of your heart..

Never in one moment
that I let it pass
without your inspiration
and warm loving care...♡

♡There was never a time that my eyes
stopped searching for you
your smile and glances
that takes my breath away.
never..never..never..♡

♡There never was a moment
that I enjoyed my solitude..
wishing you were near
your heart beats against mine
moments of silence
of just being in your arms..♡

♡And I promise you
there will never be a moment
that I will not smile
when I am beside you..
Never.never..never..♡

Fear

2009-05-19T16:32:00.000-07:00

Fear not the rain
From the thunderstorm
Fear not the pain
In your lover's eyes
Fear not all gray
For white shall rise

Fear not a misfortune
Be a doom
Fear not a weakness
Be a lash
Fear nothing in this life
Let God be your guide

Enemies

2009-05-08T04:12:00.000-07:00

Enemies from a distance
rooted from resistance
One man struggles for justice
The other knows no boundary
Scarred by prejudice
Enemies of varied force
Stand to win
Or to lose

Give Peace For the Unborn

2009-04-12T02:26:00.001-07:00

War..

leaves a ghastly image..
Shattered dreams of the past
Shakes the unknown future

War is nothing but a fire
Consuming peace and silent souls
God 's rain shall intervene
To cool down the burning pain..

I join the call of all peace-loving sectors
to the leaders of all nations,

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE FOR THE UNBORN
BABIES OF THE FUTURE!

Kitty Cat

2009-04-12T00:54:00.001-07:00

Another feline
Another line
The usual description
The usual joy
But my cat is different
From my viewpoint
If that is so
Here is my point

Kitty cat was lost
Sometime last year
My daughter saw him
Hungry and cold
She hid him outside
Thinking I'd be mad
I didn't like pets
Reminds me of the past
I had one but lost
Avoiding pain again
To haunt me till the end

"Mommy, he is different"
Said my son one day
Try another pet
No reason to fret
Our new cat is cute
Let's call him kitty cat..

Who am I to say
No, my son you can't
I am a mother
Who wants to make his day
So there I go one day
Welcomed kitty and said,
"All right my son, you won"
Kitty cat shall be at home..

One day kitty cat got sick
He slept all day
Never stood up to eat
He had fever and infection
from a wound that needed medication
Antibiotic was the prescription

I took the dropper
Thought of making him better
Gave him medicine
To revive his condition
Thanks to God
He became well and fine
That was the day
I had to say
I shall never put kitty away

He closed his eyes
His last temporal sleep
He would leave his bed..
Without me..
without me..

He shed a tear
Before my very eyes..
I was helpless
The moment was about to come..

He would leave his bed without me..
without me
I vaguely whispered his name..
But his eyes were closed..

He would leave his bed..
Not to wake up for a hug..

He would be freed
from the burdens of his past..
he would be at liberty..
to fly away..
He would leave me..
beyond his choice
His liberty was from then on...
My silent mourning...

Bai Maleiha's True Love

2009-04-11T04:25:00.001-07:00

True love bonds

two souls as one...
Two spirits
breathe in harmony

True love grows
despite the distance..
A look that has no end
Always a beginning

True Love is a sweet glance
that warms your heart
when the night is cold
Not hindered by distance
Connected by faith

True Love is a candle
Shining constantly
in the dark..
The warm embrace
in a cold lonely night..

True Love is sometimes jealous
in a moment of passion
but anger fades
when loving emotions prevail

True Love is a passion
shared by two..
moving to a world
away from everyone..

True Love is a sweet word spoken..
words not to be forgotten
Kisses locking two lips
Two breathing as one

True Love is a fire
No water can put off
Like the burning sun
engulfing the senses..
not only for a moment
but forever

True Love is finding myself
in the eyes of my beloved..
holding him safely in my arms
despite his absence..

True Love bridges
It unites thoughts and dreams..

If True Love finds
the right person
To possess the entirerity
of one's being..
Unmindful of thy flaws
yet loving all thy wrongs..

True love intertwines
Vows to be locked by destiny..
Adopted by fate
Not even death can separate

Dark Eyes

2009-04-11T02:55:00.001-07:00

I look at myself
In the mirror before me
I see no face
Just my eyes..
dark eyes from
a bright soul..

Will you see
the shining glow
in me?

But how.
if you choose
to see the dark
instead?

Look
beyond
my eyes....

Pink Moment

2009-04-11T01:56:00.001-07:00

I saw her once But not again
One dark moment
Under the rain
I asked her
What she has done
She smiled
And said
She has done none

She placed her flowers
and left the place
I asked again
What those are for?
She smiled once more:
"I just placed flowers
To mark my footsteps..
I was here once
Will be back no more.."

The Victim

2009-04-05T22:47:00.000-07:00

Read the words
in my mind
Share no thoughts
Nor a dime

Justice was bought
It ails the man
Justice was bought
With a material lie..

Dumbfounded, was that me?
Why these questions after me?
Answers nowhere for me
Just questions haunted me

I saw a man convicted
But the bad man freed
The convicted just
The freed unjust

Injustice unmasked
The victim agonized
Weak inside the barricade
His voice locked in bars
His innocence ignored

Dumbfounded, was that me?
Why these questions after me?
Answers nowhere for me
Questions haunted me

The mad man speaks
Detailing all lies
Behind the light
A cave of deads

Deceitful words
Imposing silence
Mouths shut
Yet minds alert

The truth shall breath
In God's justice
Answers will come
To make a stand
The truth shall live
Justice will rule
In God's precious time

Perception

2009-03-31T20:46:00.000-07:00

On a neutral ground
You stand...

Nothing
above your head

You react
to an image
before you

You observe
You analyze
You dissect

You process
your
Perception..

You miscalculate
in confusion

You sit
from afar
Or just stand nearby

Your mind sways
back and forth
Your perception
Links to the past
Lingering
in your brain
Lasting
in your spirit
Unyielding
in your stand

Perception
is to a man
As roots
is to a tree
Both can stand
against the storm
Pull them out
and they are gone

Perception
is the time of the mind
The essence of life
The truth of existence

Cautious

2009-03-29T21:18:00.000-07:00

Rocky hills
Ain't smooth roads
From slow steps to haste
A bad day that was
Like a creature gone mad
Life's wheels of red
Fuming heat and mad
Such a rough road
Not good for a lad...

The mercury of time
Paleness under the storm
Caught in a web
Of time and space
Of rough road and haste..

Careful steps
To free the mind
Not in seclusion
But in realization

A Wonderful world
Is within time
Can't you see
The wonders therein?

With eyes close
How can you see?
Beauty awaits
Unending breaks

You fail to think
Your mind stinks
How can you think?
If the mind is closed..

Unbreak your door
Unlock your key
Just a simple, hey..
Are you with me?

The Night

2009-03-26T02:52:00.000-07:00

Looking at myself
Before a vast space
Surrounded by walls
But not in a race..

I could see visions
of strong will and passion
The search for truth
When the light is out
When the darkness clouds
The mind can't rest

Inside my room
I lie awake..
Where is the light?
I asked myself..

A question..
Why my mind won't rest
Absent in daylight
But rules in the dark
A QUESTION ON HUMANITY..
That you and I share...

Beyond the logic of time and space
There is a cave of wondrous caste
Grouping unanswered tones of myths
Grasping for truth
Like life against death...

One vision before my eyes
Sees a soul searching for answers
Lost in the forest
Where evil lurks in whispers
Afraid of the unknown
Controlled by the known
Answers come in time
As the youth feel imprisoned
Age and answers take time to form..

Tell me in your deepest thoughts
why day and night come without pause?
why life is like the black and white?
why for me dark is my knight?

Is it because it is my own
Just like a woman called Eden
Who loved her life
She choose her path
Not like yours or mine
But her very own...
Unmindful if it will end
in fortune or fame..

What is my point
What is my line?
What does my poem want to opine?
This is the essence friends,
Listen deeply,
Please listen well...

The night has a million thoughts
Darkness is not an absence of light..
It is a light in the dark...

It is your time
Your sweet domain
A reflection of your silent soul
A room sans walls..
Where you find yourself

The only key is know thyself
To discover the hidden
To tame the wild
To capture the innocence
To use your senses
It all starts in the dark
It all starts in you...

Let my poem leave a mark
That the night is not all dark
In the innermost corner
If you peek
You will see your soul
Against a naked wall..

THE NIGHT is your soul
Hiding from your confusion
If you will seek
You will meet
The faceless face you dare not speak

So my friend, have no fear..
For the answer is so near
It is in your soul
It is YOU!

Lost and Alone

2009-03-26T02:13:00.000-07:00

Her aged face
her wrinkled skin
Veins in her weak hands
Proof of a hard labored life..

She smiled at me
Shy and kind
Her eyes spoke of sadness
Fearful inside her heart

She sighed
Tired and weary,
Her plight
Showed in her words..
She's lost
She's broken..

Why, oh why
My questions poured..
Why is she alone?
unloved, unprotected?

Where are her children?
Or is she forlorn?

I walked towards her
Gave her a bottle of water
To show I care
She needed a friend
Let that friend be me..

She gladly thanked me
I said, "welcome"
I opened her palm
Put money in it..
Her teardrops fell
She told me this:
"I was abandoned
By my kids"

I held her hand
Told her to hope
Life is worth living
She must have faith..

I sat with her
All throughout the trip
Her energy drips
Her heart broken
By uncaring kids

I asked , where will she go
"To my friends", she said
Where is that? I asked
In the home of the aged
But why? I inquired
My kids pushed me away
I have no place to stay

I will travel with you
My dear old woman
To make sure of your safety
She responded with glee

She smiled and nodded
Then asked me why
Why I want to help her
Smiled, I whispered....

Because, grandma, you are lost
I want to see you found your place
Do not worry about me
I find the joy in me
when I know you will be home..

She hugged me tight
Told me to come
Surely I will visit
Just happy in thought
I was there for her
I knew she was feeling lost
She has found a home..
But is she really home?

My heart breaks
Thinking why must she suffer
She is an old woman without a home
Where are her children
Where is her home?

My Questions..

2009-03-18T01:32:00.000-07:00

Questions..

in my mind ..
restless, unanswered..

Why must mankind
evolve in this evolution
why questions
must persist as questions
Is there other way
To measure man's infamy
or his jubilation?

Questions..
What do they seek to know
the depth of man's sorrow?
or man's bleak tomorrow?

Questions..
why justice in hypocrisy
drives man to lunacy?
Such man's inconsistency
Is just a testimony
of a flawed humanity..

Fire and Rain

2009-03-12T03:35:00.000-07:00

Struck by a lightning..
I glowed in the dark..
Like electricity
He was my light..
The star in the abyss of me..

Like fire
he consumed me
Like energy
He shone above me..

Then the rain came..
It poured down heavily on me

After the fire
The heat is gone

What remains
is just a smoke.. A smoke after the fire..
Coldness after the sun..
Rain after the fire

Hush dear child

2009-03-06T03:37:00.000-08:00

Hush my child hush
Wipe your tears
From your pretty face
Let mother embrace
your gentle soul
Hush my child hush
I am here
Right by your side

Tears of my child
Cut deep inside
Akin to a thunder strike
Akin to a needle in vein
Those tears
Must be stopped
They weaken me inside
They halt my breathe
My life in a stand still

I speak as a mother
Like the one I saw
A dying mom
Embraced by her son
Such a sight
Against my might

The tears of a child
Is a mother's death
A mother's pain..

May this poem convey
The "child" is us
we never grow old
with our youthful heart
memories parade
from the golden past
the most vivid of which
comes from
the tears of a child...

Motherhood feels and molds
The tears of our child
is an agony untold
As a mother, this I vow

I shall raise my child
with love and hope
Paint joy
and a smile
in her lips
and never tears
on her eyes..

A Poem on Protest

2009-03-03T03:38:00.000-08:00

Tame this woman
Unjail her strong passion
Share her principles
Maleiha is her name
A nature lover
Nature is her soul

She craves for clean air
Breathing on her skin
Unfiltered polluted air
Not a monster from within

It is nowhere
When she gasps for freshness
Alas, not anywhere

She adores roses
Loves the garden
The birds and bees

She detests
When man turns into a beast
When he ruins nature
Out of greed

This woman speaks
Of man's insatiable need
Evil in man abuses
Devouring nature sans limits
Must we beg?
For nature to be saved?

God's gift to man
Nature so perfect
Not for man to reject
But only to protect
No one has the right to take
What God has made the best
Mother nature is us
For who else is to trust?
To protect her beauty
From misery
For only man
Can stop her pain

Adore the sea
Enjoy the wind
Explore the hills
Embrace the trees
Proofs of God's power
For man to better

What victory is attained?
If nature puts to waste?
Why cut trees?
Why maim birds?
Why be a victim of greed?
Justice is a deed away

Nature needs help
Immerse in its beauty
Live with empathy
Experience the sea
Feel the wind
Listen to bird's melody

Nature is our mother
Give empathy with passion
For the love of God's gift
To our future generation..

The Rebel Princess

2009-02-28T03:39:00.000-08:00

Candid but with tact
Sweet yet steadfast
Fighter till she lasts
Who is she?
A rebel princess..

She bows not to debacles
Forthright she stands
Armed with her wit

She fights for her rights
Fearless of the mighty
Repels complete obedience

A fighter with finesse
A lover with tenderness
If you break vows
She will leave in haste...

Challenges she adores
Dare her for she accepts
Deny her rights
Relentlessly she fights
Pouty lips
Unblinking eyes
A rebel..a rebel indeed

Treat her just
Tame her heart
Never distract
For..
She Will rise up again
With all her might..

The Little Girl

2009-02-19T04:18:00.000-08:00

Pretty curls
A happy smile
With sad eyes

The little girl
From a distance
waves at me
from where i stand..

She looks like me
but then maybe no
Just a similar glow
Survived a similar flow...

Aglow

2009-02-16T04:20:00.000-08:00

Find me a place
better than truth
Is it that tale
Your fairy tale?

Show me the glow
Where green abounds
Is it your garden
lock in your heart?

I Find Meaning...

2009-02-12T04:23:00.000-08:00

I happened to have discovered
The real meaning of me
Some say I am strong
Others say I am surviving
But the real me says..
I find meaning
In sharing..

Some seach for wealth
Others for a name
Some want to seize power
Some hate to be losers

I however say
I am just a mother
Also a writer
I can reach out to all
Whether far or near..

I need not shout
About my thoughts
All I do is write
and reach out to all hearts

The Train

2009-02-03T03:43:00.000-08:00

I let the train leave
Without him by my side
I could not just stand and watch
as time drifts by..
My journey is long..
I must leave before the storm..

Can you?

2009-01-24T04:38:00.000-08:00

Making the world a better place means putting selflessness forward. Such a hard sacrifice for many people but there is no other way to put it. Can you abandon the distorted cause of the majority if you know that you are on the right track?

Peace in Gaza, PLease!

2009-01-17T20:01:00.000-08:00

Give peace a chance for the future Palestinians.

Please stop hurting and killing the innocent civilians in Gaza. Death toll in Gaza has reached beyond a thousand and still increasing.

Images of dead bodies of children, one is a five-month old child who was killed in his home. Where is the dignity of human life here?

Violence and anger prevailing in the midst. This will lead to a cycle of unending war. Hey Israel, where is your conscience?

Free..

2008-12-30T17:24:00.000-08:00

Free the soul from aches and pains..
Smile your way to 2009..
Welcome new beginnings
Close the pain..
Good luck to you my friend..

Twinkle 2009!

2008-12-30T17:20:00.000-08:00

Let the start twinkle

Let your smile shine..
Hey, it is 2009!
Time to move one..
Time to bond..
Sigh, breath deeply
But always be ready
God will open your door
So please worry no more..

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Birthing...

2008-12-25T16:34:00.000-08:00

Birthing is a gift. It is a gift for parents to mold a mind and a heart positively by teaching love and respect for every person's dignity, regardless of his color, race, beliefs, religion and gender.

Holiday Thoughts

2008-12-21T22:37:00.000-08:00

To all My X'tian friends:

This post will be different from the previous ones which sing in rythmic melody.

This is not poetic although your humble writer is a poet by nature. This post will aid you to look the other way, outside the malls where magnificent Christmas decors fascinate you and your loved ones. Let me take you to a world where poor people have nothing on their tables for Christmas.

A place where kids sleep with empty crumbling stomach , waiting for alms..alms. The fisher folk community are one of the most impoverished sectors. If they go home without a catch, their families will have no meals for the day. They live in shanties and have no Christmas trees.

I had a chance to witness their fate during my immersion program when I was in college. It was a short chance but it taught me to value the real essence of life unselfishly. I thought I know how poor families live but I realized that by experience, they are really suffering not only physically but morally.

I just wonder if you have many foods to spare, then maybe you can help people in your place in the same situation. If impoverished families live in your immediate community, those who truly have nothing no matter what they do, please spare them some alms..

You can also help by organizing those who share the same sentiment and collect donations for the poor. I know Santa will be happy to know that you also care for those in need.

Bridging Peace

2008-12-18T00:45:00.000-08:00

I come from afar
Always against war
I stand where I choose
At the bridge of peace..
Will you take my hand?

God is Peace..

2008-12-06T15:16:00.000-08:00

The existence of life is a proof
that there is God above us
We call HIM different names
There is NO wrong Godly thought
For God is love and peace
Pursue Peace
Defend and have faith in it
Do not cause war
Do not terrorize nor kill
Then you have GOD in your heart

But if you use faith to kill
If you use faith to harm the innocents
Therefore you are Godless
Islam is not a militant faith
Islam is Peace hence we say Salam
But some groups distort Islam
Some leaders disgrace Islam
Some powers use Islam
To justify the killings of peaceful Muslims...

To all those who see Islam as war
To all those who see Muslims as terrorists
I stand before you to say
I am a Muslim who wants to live in peace
I am a Muslim not a terrorist
I have God in my heart
I hold PEACE with everyone
Everyone is a friend
Not unless you harm me...

IF injustice is done to me
and to the rest of my family
I will defend my rights
I will protect my loved ones
I have faith in God that He will shelter me..
For a peaceful Muslim like me
Wants only a just and a peaceful humanity..

I am a Muslim
I am not a militant woman
I am a mother of two
Who raises them with peace and love
in their Islamic hearts
for their fellowmen...

Open Arms...

2008-11-27T18:41:00.000-08:00

We need to welcome friends from all walks of life.
Life is meant to be shared with people who are lovers of peace and
social justice. :)

Dark Street

2008-11-24T04:32:00.000-08:00

What happened to you?
Which road led you to the dark alley?
Why have you misread the life signs?
What do you want to do now?
Will you stand up to face the truth?
Or will you fake your sleep to escape it?

Mother..

2008-11-15T19:36:00.000-08:00

"A mother is the truest friend we have,

when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us;
when i"A mother is the truest friend we have,
when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us;
when adversity takes the place of prosperity;
when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine,
desert us when troubles thicken around us,
still will she cling to us,
and endeavor by her kind precepts and
counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness,
and cause peace to return to our hearts."
- Washington Irving

The Dark Is Light

2008-09-28T04:40:00.000-07:00

Never fear the dark...

It is where your shadow shines..
In the dark you will see
A reflection of your shining soul
That is if you are someone
whose candle shines for others
For only a candle that is selfless
Unmuddled by greed and hate
Could shine brilliantly
In the absence of the light..

A Flight To My Soul

2008-09-24T04:42:00.000-07:00

I will never find the meaning of life
Unless I spread my wings and fly
Flying means not leaving your place
But it can be done through other way
Like freeing your thoughts
Writing your hope
Letting the world know
Where you stand...
For like nature,life is free..
It has wings, and you can fly..

Sunset..

2008-09-13T13:02:00.000-07:00

Beautiful sunset...

The Sea

2008-09-08T04:40:00.000-07:00

The sea is such a mysterious
but a refreshing sight...

Its ambivalance dawns on me
Why it captures the soul of me..

As I gaze at its blue vast symbolism
I understand where I see myself..

My mind is a mammoth
My soul is free..

I am in fact the mysterious me....
So I ask this to all of you

How you handle the mystery
Of your mind and soul...

In the calling for peace
Where do you stand?

If PEACE is to be achieved..
You must have it solidly in you..

Not merely spoken..
But you stand and defend it..
at all cost..in the middle of the vastness..

Life is a sea of the mysterious but KNOWN.

White Lady

2008-09-03T04:44:00.000-07:00

A white lady in the dark..
Sometimes a myth seen as a ghost..

But in truth that is just a thought
Created by the mind

To inflame fear into the brains..
Such is misguidance..
Creating coward children...

In reality, you become the ghost
For every monster lurking behind

Becomes real in life
If you say so..if you say so....

Blue Candles..

Parent's Love..

2008-07-21T20:11:00.000-07:00

Love is a beautiful experience..

An experience that is fleeting
But there is one love that I know
stays forever and unending..
It is the love of a parent for her child..
Unquestioning but giving...
Believing and unyielding..

Butterfly Wings..

2008-07-19T19:20:00.000-07:00

I am your ANGEL, my friend..
Your angel with butterfly wings..
I will blow my kisses to the wind..
To comfort you during your sadness...
