Consideration
Consideration The heart of every man, both good and bad, is the abode of God, and care should be taken never to wound anyone by word or act. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan I'm sorry, Please forgive me for whatever is going on inside me that manifests as Hurt. Want to be free of That? Want to be Free of That! I love you Please accept me And whatever is going on inside me that manifests as Fear. WANT to be Free of That! Want to be FREE of That? © 2008 Shamsuddin

I Am Smitten, It Is True
I Am Smitten, It Is True I Am Smitten, It Is True I surrender all thought of power For a moment spent with you. No pretense; No trying to be: Your hero Or Your shining fool. I am merely happy Hanging out with You. So much to share, My soul to bare, To Truth, I must be true. I'll say it now, In private And in the public view. “I am loving You!” © 2008 Noosphere Communications

Hearken to the Reed Forlorn
H earken to the R eed F orlorn Hearken to the Reed forlorn, Ever since it was torn From the rushy bed of Reeds; In plaintiff song it bleeds. Listen to The Lover's Heart Longing for Its Sacred Home. How it wails and cries and sings. Oh, Beloved, hum my part. That I might sing along. This Longing laughs at Life's success. There is nothing, nothing, nothing; Only You, Beloved. I will sing until you come. © 2007 Shams-i-

This Hiding
This Hiding What Are You Hiding, Oh My Soul? Why this hiding? Has Shams hurt your feelings? I am sincerely sorry; My sin Assures me only Of missing the mark. My prideful ego, Bio-computing brain Shrouds Your Beauty-truth In fear's hazy, crazy, lazy veil. It fees Good to confess This predicament. Estaughforallah! Alhumdulillah! For this Willingness To hone my skill With merciful compassion When I miss the mark. © 2009 Shamsuddin
