FreeMySoul
Of my soul to be free
My being echoes Your name
My heart yearned to chant the greatness of You
My lips tasted Your Blessings
But I was not yet ready to receive You
Now that I accepted the past
Embraced the present
My true heritage
Of Persian decent
I've always felt it
Deep down I have always known
With Your guidance
And with each step to the future
The lies surrounding me dispersed
My life
My purpose in life came clear
I am but a speck of dust in Your universe

Uncle Dearest
My Guiding Light
Fatherly
Uncle Dearest
My guiding light
Encouraging words
Keeping watchful eye
From distance
Uncle Dearest
Connected not by blood
From motherland
Protecting
Watching my back
Mindful of past experience
An uncle, advisor and friend
In happiness and sorrow
A bond stronger
Acid tongues can't melt away
Talented poet and author
A man of note
Humble and kind

Life Continues
death brings truth
unspoken word of the past
unspoken truths of identity
open mouths
pouring more lies
more deceit
more pain in depth of darkness
mothers how could you
let innocence pay the price
for a man heartless decides
daughter second class
discard her give her away
she belongs no where anyway
then the day comes
the truth be told
robbed of heritage
and a her father's hold
child at school

Destiny Decreed
Awakened by the beautiful sound of heavenly music
Imaging birds in orchestral chirping
Feeling the passion with which the musician plays
An orgasmic explosion to the ear
Eyes transfixed to the distant sound
In the garden below
A soaring bird losing altitude
To catch a prey
Flight after flight
Floating down the stairs
In search of where the music comes
In search of the familiarity felt
Heart racing
Leaping past a kaleidoscope of colours
In front of him the most beautiful
Elegant girl
Eyes closed in passionate play
Startled by pigeons taking flight

Divine You
Life is like an open book
It can take you anywhere
Sometimes you wonder where it will lead you
Yes it’s difficult to stay on track
Diversion a huge mistake
But you learn from this
And you get back on to
the straight and the narrow
With divine intervention
Years of confusion
You find yourself,
Who you are,
Where you belong
You realise your purpose
Divine you
You learn to love yourself for who you are
The road does not seem so difficult anymore
Your true name finally shedding light
Nobility running through your veins

In Thee I Trust
Thee has created me with love,
To love.
Thou has forgiven my sins
As vast as the ocean
My only true love
In Thee I depend
For waking each morn’
My daily sustanance
To Thee I pray
Ever so humble and thankful
For my every blessing received
I kneel to Thee
Thee sent Rumi in my dreams
To show me the way
The narrow ledge I am to cross
He showed me how
Swifty without fear
Of what lies below
He showed me how to fly inThine Mercy

One Last Time
Wish I could meet you one more time
To touch your face
Would last a lifetime
Wish I could
Hold you in my arms forever more
Wish I could kiss your lips
Might not b
E good for either of us
But I wish I could look into your eyes
I know it's too late
But I wish I could
You said to meet you half way
Have one last coffee
Two friends longing to be more
Going out separate ways
Circumstances prevent
Without you I am incomplete
But at least I'll know
That someone out there loves me still
Wish I could hold you in my arms

Shocked Perfection
Please don't be shocked
I know your innocence
Does not allow you to see
My feelings
Ever since I saw you again
With those sexy eyes
And beautiful smile
I have been captivated with you
You are Perfection
By the way I respect you a lot
But I've taken a liking to you
I don't really want to go there
Or say that you are going to do anything about it
But I think it may be better
The more we communicate
The more I like you
You seem to be so down to earth
Honest beautiful soul
You are so humble, kind, honest and caring
I can grow to like you even more

Pain Of Love
I promised myself I would not cry
the i heard your voice
the tenderness therein
words I've not hear for several days
undue pressure on me
to keep you away
tradition before love and happiness
my heart melted at your tenderness
your words of love came so easily
" i love you with all my being;
I've never loved this way before
you are my life
my forever
i see you in my daily dreams
you are the only one for me'
away came the barrier, i've created over several days
tears flowing freely…

Fireworks
The humidity over the past weekend
With the southeaster wind
Are tell tale signs of a storm brewing
By Monday, night fall
The rumbling sky followed by lightning
Then the heavens poured
Thoughts of tsunami and natural disasters
Took a hold of my mind
I am a strong swimmer
But who is to say I will survive
Should the valley where I live
Be flooded
Shaking my head I focussed on the beauty
Of the event playing off
Let me embrace it
The symphony of sound
Thunder and lightning
Like fireworks!
