Hoping For Treasure

Bismillah....

Gratitude causes my heart to sing;
praises to the never born KING...

Tears baptize my guilt ridden face;
as I beg to be spared all disgrace...

Worthless are my deeds, unless accepted;
by the ONE many have openly rejected...

My knees and forehead have kissed many floors;
to dutifully perform my soul's five daily chores...

Though, I'm unworthy, I go back again and again;
pleading for Divine Mercy and forgiveness of sin....

The promise of "Ask of ME and you shall receive";
is only one of the reasons I wholeheartedly Believe...

Where else can one find a better favor than this;
a compassion more loving than a mother's kiss....

An invitation open for every created being;
to be personally guided by GOD the All Seeing...

Declining this invitation takes nothing from HIM;
yet without HIS mercy chances at heaven are slim...

No son has HE, though the devil has suggested other claims;
causing creation to call the CREATOR by forbidden names...

Convinced it's not possible to go directly to the source;
many souls seeking salvation are completely off course...

Still there is hope for any one given to reflection;
to ascertain the truth and switch their direction...

The Holy Qu'ran is simply the final extension of the word;
that's been dismissed by many even before being heard;

It confirms the surviving truths and dispels any lies;
it's definitely a must read before your earthly body dies...

Don't take it from me for surely I am a Wo/Man just like you;
but at least read chapters 19 & 23 then decide if it rings true...

As for me I will now go back to aiming for my CREATOR's pleasure;
holding on to the hope of receiving the gift I will eternally treasure...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

My Son Shine

Bismillah...

Sunshine in the dark of the night I see, 
as I bass in the rays beaming within me...

wHOLY complete just my CREATOR and I;
who also created the son brightening my sky...

The spiritual creature dwelling meant for my side;
whose cloak of humility replaced his blazer of pride...

I sleep with assurance as he stands, armor in place;
though unsure if my eyes have ever captured his face...

Faith not hope paints my wall of chaos pastel serene;
one of the many mercies of being engulfed in my deen...

I feel a closeness I can by no means explain;
and if openly declared I'd be labeled insane...

So I skip to the beat composed just for my heart;
knowing what GOD is joining none can keep apart...

"Sweet dreams are made of these,
who am I to doubt decree;
I've travelled the world inside of me,
like everybody I'm praying for something"...LOL...(Marliyn Manson Makeover)
may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

His Profile

   
BISMILLAH...

I'm lovin' his smile;
I'm diggin' his style;
only known him a short while;
yet with my entire stockpile;
I wanna walk the green mile...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Rooted In Patience

Bismillah...

Love is not to be found, it is to be granted;
and like roots, it sprouts after being planted...

Lust and or infatuation are what usually come first;
pursuing either of these makes ones condition worst...

Patience is a virtue, but it's a thing to be cultivated;
like family, prayer and patience are closely related...

Time is not money, time belongs exclusively to our CREATOR;
we just have to learn what we don't get now we may get later...

Or NOT...LOL...because that too is a divine executive decision;
and nothing I mean nothing happens without GOD's permission...

may ALLAH grant us patience in all of our affairs...Allahuma ameen

The Deal

Bismillah...

Okay here's the deal;
because GOD gave us free will;
is why we should kneel...

may ALLAH accept our attempts to worShip and praise HIM...ameen

Reflections Reflect

BISMILLAH...

Blaming the world;
while claiming the world...of others...

Don't take it lightly;
it won't be taken lightly...my brothers...

While you over indulge;
denying what others divulge...about you.. 

Yet your reflection reflects;
your many causes and effects...start new...

Words without action are weak;
even if spoken seven days a week...stop hiding...

You're too grown for child's play;
now sow your seed a different way...by teaching...

may ALLAH grant us reflection...Allahuma ameen

Striving Queen

BISMILLAH...

A Queen of striving to be the most humble in this deen; 
checking my intentions making sure they're clean....
Yes yes, of all this I'm a self proclaimed Queen...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen 

Personal Sanctuary

BISMILLAH...

During the small of the night is my favorite time to rise;
creating a personal sanctuary to be with the Most WISE...

It's truly a time of mercy and to it nothing can compare;
to be closest to my CREATOR, is to offer Tahajud prayer...

No other part of the day can grant me this much peace;
so I encourage every soul to strive to possess a piece...

So KIND is the one who has compassionately chosen me;
a perfect and humbling example of Divine Love and Mercy...

May I never turn away from this path that is straight;
may I always be inclined to openly praise the Most GREAT...

May my deeds be of those accepted by the One & Only KING,
who has no equal, no children, and who created everything...ameen

In closing, I humbly invite the masses to explore to no end;
an one on one relationship with our CREATOR and true friend...
may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Maybe...Maybe Not

BISMILLAH...

Maybe you're the answer to my prayers or maybe you're not;
but in real life I only want the manifestation of the Divine plot...

Honey candy sweet your flavor taste to me;
but it'll soon go sour if it's not meant to be...

Surely it was destined for our souls to collide;
still I mustn't let emotions be my deciding guide...

It should've taken more than sweet nothings to penetrate my heart;
but somehow you've had an inside advantage from the very start...

Even still, I refuse to allow this school girl infatuation;
to skew the actual factual during my final evaluation...

Stepping back with my right foot left foot right;
seeking through prayer my CREATOR's guiding light...

May ALLAH be pleased...ameen

I Dreamed

BISMILLAH...

I dreamed you wrote me poetry, after breaking my broken heart;
you asked for my forgiveness while requesting I not depart...

I cried tears, it seemed, I had cried some years before;
and though my heart was aching I couldn't walk out the door...

You begin to kiss my tear filled eyes as you whispered sworn words you promised to keep;
but before I could succumb to the security of your arms I sadly awoke from my sleep...

Many would call this a warning, not wanting this dream to ever come true;
I see the wisdom in being reminded "the no one's perfect“ includes you...

Struggle is bound to be present each and every step of the way;
sandwiched between the promised ease granted to those who pray...

Yes dreams are meant for reflection, and reflect on this one I will;
remembering as are the joys of love, the pains of love are just as real...
may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Perfect Striving

BISMILLAH...

Perfect we will never be despite how hard we try;
the best that we can hope for is the mercy of the Most High...

This shouldn't change our striving in fact it should push us to do more;
because worshipping and praising our CREATOR is all we were created for...

The devil is a liar who wants to convince us we can't change;
so we must seek constant refuge from satan in his CREATOR's name...

Deppresion is a state, when if allowed, will take root;
but a simple thing like gratitude will quickly give it the boot...

The road that leads to Heaven is by no means paved with ease;
the key is, when things get difficult, to seek counsel on our knees...

Remember satan is a liar whose goal is to lead our souls astray;
he whispers then withdrawals especially when it's time to pray...

Believers are to be good friends and gentle reminders for each other;
companions similar to family though not birthed by the same mother...

The idea we should be strong enough to travel this life's journey alone;
is again the handiwork of our avowed enemy who hates us to the bone...

May our CREATOR grant us guidance, forgiveness, protection, and mercy just to name a few;
as we strive to remain in a state of worship remembering that's exactly what we were created to do...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Praise Busy

BISMILLAH...

Dear GOD suffice me with what is lawful so I am protected from all that is not;
please grant me contentment with what is and increase my faith because it's all I've got...

Surely I bear witness to the truth, that difficulty is sandwiched in relief;
but I'm in need of your protection NOW because satan's tampering with my belief...

I promise I'm not complaining or giving in to despair;
I'm just heavy with my reality so I'm letting it go in prayer...

This prayer I humbly offer asking each and every reader to do the same;
“Dear GOD despite the level of Amelah's difficulty keep her busy praising YOUR name..."

may GOD who has absolutely NO partners sons or daughters be pleased...ameen

Prayer vs Everything Else

BISMILLAH...

Prayer is better than sleep and everything else in our life;
which includes water money children parents and ones husband or wife...

Five we are commanded to offer before each day comes to an end;
though the devil will whisper different, this rule we're forbidden to bend...

The whole world is our Masjid so there's no reason to miss even one;
prayer is our spiritual air it aligns us like the moon and the sun....

These obligatory pauses are not up for discussion or debate;
during these appointed times all else in our world must wait...

From the moment we declare Al Islam as our chosen way;
we become 100% accountable for whether or not we pray...

Of all the deeds we offer, our prayers will be counted first;
neglecting them can cause our heavenly bubble to burst...

So on guard we must remain when it comes to our daily obligatory prayers;
and just in case they come up lacking we're encouraged to also offer spares...

Remain In Worship...may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Deed Flow

BISMILLAH...

You chose me like dhikr, a reminder of GOD;
a spiritual helper on this journey we trod...

I embrace my duty to be used by our CREATOR;
knowing the reward compared to my efforts will be far Greater...

It's really not about the who, it's all about the why;
an attempt to rack up good deeds before the day I die...

The fact that your spirit moves me kinda messes with the flow;
posing the question, "am I doing it for my LORD or doing it for show?"

So I will strive to purify my intentions over and over again;
in hopes my deeds will be accepted as good ones in the end...
may ALLAH be pleased with my deeds...ameen

Let's Easily Proceed

BISMILLAH...

I don't beg to differ, but I will submissively lower my gaze;
as a trust I extend to you to guide me through this maze...

Not intending to become anymore than good spiritual friends;
was the beginning of our story that can have several ends...

Instead of running through stop signs, let's proceed with ease;
trusting our CREATOR while taking Divine counsel on our knees...

I promise to ride shotgun if we collectively decide to roll;
but for now I'll be the sweet critic who helps navigate your soul...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Inspiration By Inspiration

BISMILLAH...

I'm not sure if it was safe to allow inspiration to take root this time;
planted thoughts branching out some in rhythm others in rhyme...

Roses, thorns, nectar, and sweet sacred places;
both tears and smiles mingled upon the affected faces...

Speechless about this matter I probably should remain;
but I know, oh to, well both the described joy & pain...

Many seasons come and then suddenly can't be found;
making more desirable the buds that bloom all year round...

The love lessons learned aren't always enough;
because forbidden dreams can easily make forgetting very tough...

As no one wants to forget the sweetness of that special kiss;
even when its poison slowly kills every ounce of superficial bliss...

Passion is the noun that often feels more like a verb;
impairing the best judgment more than liquor or smoked herb...

Sensual is the lingering scent stimulating the senses of the heart;
re-igniting toxic flames known to be deadly from the very start...


may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Going For Three

BISMILLAH...

Solitude is the escape I can never seem to reach;
while the three that keep me going also inspire me to teach...

At times I'm half empty, then half the time fulfilled;
I seek to be content & not question being created free willed...

Just as I must trust the wisdom in not being granted the ability to fly;
I walk with firm faith, most days, to the divine rhythm of the Most High...

Never have the words I prayed been returned to me;
and I can't begin to count the blessings I daily receive for free... 

Still I long to be understood, in exchange for understanding;
by one who, when I can't see move or breathe, will care without demanding...

A helper in reaching my goals in this life and the next is all I require;
but until I discover such a one to ALLAH I will keep sending up this reoccurring desire....

 may  ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Nite Echoes

BISMILLAH...

Nites echo from space to space;
originating from an unexpected place...

Gentle strokes to slightly flawed esteems; 
revitalizes as much as the CREATOR deems...

One's favorite flavor this sweetness can easily come to be ;
but fear of overindulging makes the taster sample sparingly...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

My Polygamist Inclination

BISMILLAH...

I am more inclined towards polygamy then monogamy at this time in my life;
this will still be my inclination even if I'm his first wife;
my primary concern is that there be more ease than strife...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Confession

Bismillah...

Though there are those who may think me wierd;
I'm easily mesmerized by a thick groomed beard...

Yet the thing that causes my gaze to unintentionally linger;
is a cat that has no problem spreading deen by speech or finger...

Him I'll humbly watch to see if taqwa is his most prized possessions;
which will determine if he'll become privy to my deepest confessions...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Our Decree

Bismillah...

Though I hold the position of Queen bee;
I so desire to be under your given degree;
souls were created to connect not dwell free;
so let's continue preparing for our Divine decree...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

Faith In The Unseen

BISMILLAH...

Surely he is a chosen earth dweller;
An ancient and present time truth teller...

Our hearts are the vessels that actually met;
an impression made by GOD so we'll never forget...

Intertwined souls even though we are apart;
never ending is love engraved upon the heart...

As letters form words his spirit has sentenced me;
to a truth that'll remain whether we ever physically come to be...

Surmounted supplication is the only known solution;
for it grants the faithful supplicator spiritual restitution...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen

A Controversial Piece of A Sista Like Me

Bismillah...

Surely, for you more may be merrier;
but for your soul it may be a bit scarier...

I'm super pass down if your current girl is;
but be sure you're ready for that balancing biz...

I'll always have her back because I want GOD to have mine;
so to infringe on any of her rights, I will always happily decline...

Like most I'd prefer monogamy, but it's not etched in stone;
because the life of Lady Khadijah (r) we can't easily clone...

and truthfully Aisha's (r) status is beyond adequate for me;
but only if the current occupant can wholeheartedly agree.... 

Don't get me wrong Bruh, your requirements we won't over look;
I'm just not frowning on what GOD has made lawful in our Holy book...

Sisters please don't become alarmed or turn up your nose;
I give you my word before GOD I'd never step on your toes...

Marriage is meant to bring souls together and form them as one;
so if your home is disrupted, spiritually for me, it won't be any fun...

I'm simply processing some thoughts about what's lawful in our way of life;
it's by no means a preamble or declaration for me to become your co-wife...

I'm just lyrical by nature so I poetically put to rhyme almost everything;
just as my desire to please my CREATOR trumps having a wedding ring...

may ALLAH be pleased...ameen
