I would give you this rose

But you are shut in the walled garden

Among your bitter herbs

I would show you the sun

But you have turned your head away

Into your own shadow

I would sing you asong

But it falls silent by the sad waters

Where are you walking?

I would touch your hand

But i cannot reach you when you are

Lost in no known country

Will you not turn and…

Shadow poised in the harsh light

Silent tear

Recluse

Gathering autumn leaves

Crumbling in the hand

In death,alive

Craven depth

Blight of fury

Shade your eyes

Hide from the gleam

Enter the chasm

Widening stench

Away from love hate love

God and you

Long hair flowing ,blowing

Dark eyes smiling,knowing

She knew the love of loves

As  only those who lost it know

She lived in memories

With nothing but wisdom to show

She walked tall andalone

Waiting,wondering

As she smiled with her eyes

Knowing

And her dark hair blowing

The overladen dusty skies

Descent of death

Within every Muslim

Lies the spirit of Aljihad

What is life..this world

What use is existence

Amid this gory massacre

Murder of innocents

Surpassing all reality

Is the road to eternity

We shall repay our debts

Lay down our lives

The cruel world watches with cold eyes

Flickering screens

As we live through each…
