Poem#11 - Ramadan Kareem!

its the month of prayer
in which, they stay in silence
they begin to pray, by saying "Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim.."
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

the month begins
by the mark of the Moon
the heavenly body that glows beautifully
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

wherever they're
they stay steadfast for prayer
they pray, whether together or lonely
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

through out the day
they maybe weak or silently pray
but in their faces, their eyes gleam
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

through this fast,
they learn a lot
discipline, obedience, humility
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

they fast with zeal
for half the day
we stand with you, for it, to holily keep
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

SpeakOut#2 - Feeling Great Now :)

Summer is (vacations) about to end...
School is gonna start in two days. My assignments aren't complete (not even started =P).
Still, I feel great.
The past two months kept me busy! It gave me fun! New friends! A lot of kids to play around with too!
Kids aren't all cute like they look! All of them have a part of evil-ness. LOL
Believe me, I love 'em, but kids can be a pain too :P
I volunteered at a summer camp. I went for Computer Science tuitions. I was at teens camp at my Church!
They kept me busy alright, and gave me a lot of tan too!
My work at camp got over yesterday. Tuitions are gonna go on. The summer camp I joined got over today!
Although I joined teens camp and I really like being a part of the group, I stood up to help 'em out like the coordinators and volunteers do, rather than participating with them! I loved being a part of the team like that!
To run around busy with work, and to watch the result of your work be great, and being appreciated for it, just makes me high :)
It happened to me, and I liked it :) I know there can be bad times, but all I wish is that I learn from them!

I've always wanted it, and it makes me feel good.
I was asked to speak on the stage too. I've always done it but this time it was different.
Before, I used to stop or get some trouble somewhere, but this time it felt like I knew what to say and I did fine!
I came home, and Amma* said how she was thinking that that was the stage where I started speaking, and performing and there she saw me again, just that this time I was a totally free talking person there!
I felt like I was changing now, somehow being mature and good with it while always being a kid some way or the other! =D

I feel that life's been great!

Thanks y'all, for everything you've done! Standing by my side for everything!
Being there for the good and bad parts of the ever-continuing journey!
I hope we stay together always! and even if we part, that we part for the best!!

*Amma is what I call my mother as.

Poem#10 - Your Burdens, My Sorrows

You tell me that you’re in sorrow
And I try consoling you
But it couldn’t work out, you said
So did I when I was in such a state, ain’t I true?

You say I couldn’t understand
But tell me where did I fail?
Wait give me a chance
Cause when you came to aid me then, did I complain?

In pain, yes I know how you feel
Cause long before you the one who suffered was me
I care, I like you a lot
It hurts me again more than how it had been

You better not go away and isolate yourself
Saying that only now silence will help
Cause am there with you like the moon
Leading your way having the darkness dealt

Its my wound that hurts now it keeps growing more
Seeing my loved ones, living a life that’s so sore
Believe me let me walk right by your side
All the probs are gonna go, cause ur now a part of my life!

Poem#9 - The Journey, Its Lesson

its raining, its cold
the wind surrounds me, but still i can feel the light
its the change thats coming, the change in seasons,
its still dark and cold, but i aint staying in fright

i dont declare that i'm great
nor try to persuade that i'm something more or less
all i need are your prayers, a great deal of them,
that i be by God and you, so blessed

i'm in a journey
where its fatigue i have and no sleep
because its revival i search for,
i'm commited for it, and that i'll reap

those demons of time,
who come and creep
so jobless, they want me down
but i've learned more, felt whats there down deep

i'm prepared, they can't do anything
they'll just try and have to whine,
because i've fought and will more,
its with even bigger trouble with which, i've dined

i can feel it getting warmer
do you think its becoming fine?
i know that i've travelled a lot and enough
but still i'm not sure, am i near the finish line?

its springtime now,
its done, now i'll be free
the time, the moment,
has come, most awaited by me

welcome, the sunshine says
and now i can last
for long with peace,
not being called again by my past

your prayers, my will
thats what brought me here,
you were the one, that made my will,
yes its true, dear

it was a hard time to learn, that all
what was needed was something forgetten in this world
something that needed to be followed by everyone,
but not jus preached by word

it is what, that i claim
that i have for her,
but has to be given,
to everyone, starting from my misunderstood brother

all i want now,
is that others see their spring too,
suffer less than i did,
but reach their destination, along with learning the truths

Poem#9 - My Savior, My Mentor, My Light

To be betrayed
Would never feel nice
It feels like the deceit u feel
Is like a fall on you by that heavy slab of ice

I thought I had it all
Until the time for an experience had come
I was a silly duckling then
Yet to learn lessons, but now grown far from being dumb

It seemed that the world
Was easy but then all mean as it was seen
But it isn’t just one, but more experiences that are needed
To tell you how the world is now, from where It had been

My trust was broken
I was left alone
I felt it like a sudden
break in my backbone

I was left to die
Betrayed by the hands of my so called friend
But that day, the same one from which I was reborn
gave me a mind, steady, grown and all mended

It was first sadness in me
That had sprouted first
When I fell to the ground
And breathed in the dust

But the emotions in me
That kept watering my feelings more
Told myself that a work
Of revenge was then that I bore

But time passed by
And taught me the lesson
That nothing could bring a change
Even if I’d kill him and be a felon

It would rather be great
To start from where I began
Now more cautious and alert
Keeping my eyes steady on the path where before I ran

Its just love and hope
That remains in me
Which was brought in
From a light that had taken me away from misery

From an unexpected time
When he came by
Taking me by His hands, teaching me slowly
And time passed by

Love your enemies
That’s what he said
Now I always keep praying for them
Before I go to bed

And that was the way
Brought by the light
Shown to me, by my greatest mentor
In all my Love, Dear Jesus Christ

Poem#8 - Mothers, The Angels!

Necessity could be
The mother of inventions
But the necessity of my inventions
Would be my mom

From the time I came
I kept no intentions
But to keep me best were her intentions
From my start so small

It wasn’t just for a single day
But for the whole of my life
That she sacrificed her whole life
For me to keep going happy on and on

She wanted me to keep so firm
Even when I didn’t know how to stand
A good job she’s done to have me stand
Is how she’s now taken me this way all along

I’ve grown and now
I see the plight that a mom takes
To see the turn that her child’s life takes
To grow and keep control

I salute them
And all the more adore
To see that its from how they adore
That the world has got the Love in it and grown!

Poem#7 - Love Confused (Cont'd)

it made him hurt all the more
when he tried to keep it quiet
it all just felt to him
that he could never be right

tears that he held within
n pain that tried to keep on hold
jus made that promise deep within
loosen up on its own

he knew he could never keep up with it
he then became strange.. it was soon
the cries and sadness that was all in him
made him into a loon!

words which had for her before
were of such that made him, himself spellbound
but now all that was left for him
made him all alone, fallen on the ground

the mouth of his that praised her alot
now said that he hated the thought
that he still loved her and not being able to convey
was the reason for the sadness he had brought
