Femininity

As I look at my vanity box,

and see the hues of pink and white

the delicate makeup


something in me feels happy

feels fulfilled,

It doesnt have to come in pink and white

it could be green and blue

or flaming red

it is to see beauty

and smile at it

It is to hold the whole world inside of you

close to your  being

Gently

from breaking apart

It is to comfort the sad

be gentle with the young

and give happiness to the sick


Sure it is flowers blooming

but it is also the graying leaves

of autumn

because she can find beauty

even in the melancholy

feel the sweetness

even in Pain

It is a gift from God himself

this feminine touch

As I look at my vanity box

I see hues of pink and white

I feel something happy inside

And then as I look at the mirror

I see hues of courage and strength

I still feel something happy inside

Lost
**Something I penned to capture my lethargic mood**



I am Lost in the speed of Life

Cant find myself

Vaguely aware of some goals

That will come and go

on it's own

Accomplishing things

Yet Sleeping through it all

Not Awake inside

or Outside

Fulfillment, meaning

Love

All lost, in the foggy chaos

of a sleepy soul

until, that inner fighter

lights up a candle

and I jerk up awake

Eyes watery

Awake now

But tired

Trying to add wood

to the small flame

waiting for it to turn

into the fire

that will fuel

the warrior

the meaningful chaos.

Precious
You go through life
Not knowing how beloved you are. 

You go through life
Not knowing how precious you are

You don't know which kind word

Earned His Love

You don't know which repentant tear

Covered you in His protection

You don't know which dua, singling Him out, in pure unadulterated Tawhid

Earned you His immense favour

You are His. 

You belong to Him 
 You will return to Him

And in that sweet meeting

You will discover

Just how much

You are worth to Him

It's Raining in MES
It's Raining in MES

Could there be, anything more peaceful

Than the mercy of Allah

Pouring down 

In the valleys where my childhood

Was shaped, was formed

It's Raining in MES

As teachers I adored

Turns into adoring students

The bliss of life, quietly makes its way

Into my daily routine

And I thank Allah

Not just for the rain

But for the chance to be nourishment 

For those little flowers

Waiting to bloom

In all its glory

It's Raining in MES

As the poet in me awakens

As peace and mercy envelopes

Its Raining in MES

Alhamdulillah

Glory
In the quiet wretchedness of it all

When faith has worn out

All you hope is for mercy

Knowing you don't deserve it

And yet you hope

For that beautiful fairytale

For the magical ending

Because you are not the one writing the story

You hope from Him, the Most Generous 

So you take all your wretchedness 

You bare it to him

And ask him, 

With hope 

for that little something more

for that little crown

of glory

Yes you

this wretched, downtrodden you

and He covers it all

in His soothing Mercy

Because you finally returned

Home at last

after a dark voyage of heedlessness

And then

He Gifts

His crowning jewels

and you

Yes you

The Wretched, Downtrodden you,

is crowned

is Honoured

Tell me O Soul,

Could there be any greater than Him?

I am there

Anybody in need of a listening ear for today sister, I am there, I am there. 

Anybody in need of a brain for today sister, I am there, I am there

Use me sister, I am there, I am there.

Need me sister, I am there, I am there.

I can be the plastic wrapper

To your chocolate

The lining in your bed cover

The warmth that comforts you

The shoulder you cry on

Use me sister

Need me sister

I am there

I am there

You need a break from the baby? I am there, I am there

Just a hand with that recipe? I am there, I am there

A companion for your kids? I am there, I am there

Someone to share your worries with over a cup of coffee? I am there, I am there

Anybody need a listening ear for the day sister? I am there, I am there.

I am your Muslim Sister. 

Use Me, Sister, I am there, I am there.

Need me Sister, I am there, I am there.
