I wanted to Tell You

I wanted to tell you In a way you could Hear, You have nothing To Fear. When things get weird Between Us When, I look like I'm far out in left field. Even then, from me, There is nothing to fear. For I am dedicated To your growth and freedom. To your highest, I drink a toast! All I ask of YOU, Dear, Is, forever to remember me As Loving You. I will never Forsake You. I will never forget you.

They Held a War and Nobody Came

They held a war this week, And nobody came. The warriors all stayed home. "It's not our fight," they said. "We have families to attend." Let the Rich Let the Generals, The Presidents and the Kings Go fight their own battles. If freedom belongs only To the baddest bully on the block, Then let the bullies wage their fight To see who 's the baddest one of all. "We are too busy living To fight your holy wars. Join us, won't you; This peace feels good. © 2006 Shamsujim§ Sign in to see full entry.

When You Are Vulnerable

When you are vulnerable with me, It turns me on. When you are hurting And you risk The Vulnerability Of Your broken Heart, I am touched Deep Here in my broken Heart, And I feel honor Where anger used to be! © 2004, Shamsuddin§ Sign in to see full entry.

When I Look at You

When I Look at You There are moments (ever increasing), When I look your direction; A pure diamond light I see. No longer can you hide Behind the illusions of fear. Sit with me now! We need to rest here In the Glow, The rainbow hue Of Your Diamond Heart. © 2004 Shamsuddin§ Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Trying to Tell You

I am trying to tell you; I am trying to say, "I am so filled Being with you." Here in the center of Ya Wahabo Flowing gentle, burgling over rocks Down to the sea of tranquility, Down to the ocean of Love, We, like leaves going with current, Now touching, Now drifting apart; Yet, by some unseen design Together we arrive Down on the delta. We jump together Into this Ocean. © 2004 Shamsuddin§ Sign in to see full entry.

Life Was Easy Then

Life was easy, then; Nestled, as we were, Twixt two of Mother's breasts. Life was good, back then, When running water Was a trip to the well, Glass jar in hand. Does the greener grass Always lie behind? Dare we live NOW? Or bank on future 'hows'? Is thought of Blessing, held, Enough? © 2006 Shamsujim§ Sign in to see full entry.

You Broke My Heart Today

My heart broke today When you let me know You were throwing in the towel Of our relationship. You act so bold. The anger of your hurt Pierces my Heart; The arrow has found its mark. Now, the wounded healer Staggers to smile; As I serve you Milk and honey, Hoping you will see My Diamond Heart. Oh, Beloved, Use me to heal your past But, abuse not this Loving Heart. Shamsuddin seeks solace In knowing, it is these bleeding Heart fissures That allow the Light To pour through. © 2006 Shamsujim § Sign in to see full entry.

The Age of Aquarius

The Age of Aquarius Where did it go? Is it just starting slow? Aquarian Age, Are you awakening? What are we to see? An Age beaten into submission? Or Merely death throes of war? Let those who have eyes to see Know the Truth That sets us free. Free at last From war's tyranny, Efforts turn to harmony. The Human Wars Now Turn to Disease, Poverty, Environmental Harmony, And justice for ALL. Dear Brother, Dear Sister, Awaken Now Here the Call Turn the Sword Into the Plow. You must choose now, Whom...

I Shed a Tear Today

I shed a Tear today For Love's victory Over death and separation. Truly, nothing can or will Separate Us From the Love of God In Christ Jesus. From the Heart of Love's Uncompromising Wound; From the Very Heart, The Center Core of Our Broken Separation; Trough that very crack The Perfume of Love Pours Forth. © 2004 Shams § Sign in to see full entry.

Love Comes in This Way Only Once

Love Comes in This Way Only Once Love and Fear Knock upon Heart's Door Just once in every moment. The choice is clear. In this moment Witness what Is And Choose Love.... or fear. As for me and my house, We choose Love. All else is naught. © 2004 Shamsuddin § Sign in to see full entry.

This Breath

Ishk Allah Mabood Le'llah This breath rises from The Mother Through the souls, Up legs and spine. It rises from our Mother, Earth Until it Meets With Heavenly Light Falling gently, imperceptibly From Voidless sky, And resting here Reuniting in the Beating, Loving Heart Of ALL. © 2004 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

A Rumi Inpired Poem

I come to Life's pizza buffet A beggar, with ravenous hunger; A patientless guest At the Banquet of Life and Truth. "Oh, you pious ones, Pray over this pizza!" For myself, let my taste buds say my prayer; Let my stomach say, "Amen!" "Oh proper guests, please Shine forth in your properness And let me eat!" If you are not bringing The latest warm dish, Do not bother my communion with Allah! I have come to eat And be satisfied! Sign in to see full entry.
