i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

[Found this while doing revision on 'Stylistic in Poetry' with Nik Izyani and Kak Didi in (IIUM) Library, 22:00:00 April 7, 2011. Fallen in love with its lexical and semantic cohesions (with mine). ;)]

Three words: If you must

Give—
If you must; 

let go

Nothin’ in this life stays
Whether you like it or not
People leave (or die)
Memories fade

While the clock is still tickin’
Tell ‘em you love ‘em
Why worry 

when you have all to have and all to give

It goes for a circle;
What you give, you get back
What goes around comes around

Remember why you are here
And how you are here
And where you are goin’

after—here

Give—
If you must;
let go

Juliet

Still feels like the day when you looked straight into her eyes

and said:

“Thou art beautiful
Make me a man
Thou art perfect
Thou complete me”

Juliet,
was she

No more,
Dear Romeo

Romeo O Romeo,
It’s the way you left her
It’s the way you hesitated
It’s when you chose; not her!


Now that everything had changed
No she’s not gonna come back
No it’s not gonna work
No way it will
Anymore
No way


She was your Juliet--

Not knowing

If I could tell you every second that 'iloveyou'
I would

If I could hold your hand and never let go
I would

If I could take you in my arm forever
I would

If I could just sit there, with you, watching the sun went up and down
together, with you, I would

You see, I would, I would

I would--

But then again

A shooting star

She waits to see

She hopes to be

But then again;

Daylight,

Sun's bright

The day stay gray

And she's looking,

wandering

Into the dream

So deep

So steep

Shooting star;

Her wishes,

Her disguise

But then again;

Morn,

Mourn--

Suatu Kecintaan, Seindah Kerinduan.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

ALlahu'alam

[Entah kenapa hati ini bagai merintih merayu ingin berjumpa. Salamun Salam 'alaika Ya HabibALlah.]

Completeness

You know what?


Sunbeam, that's you.

Rays of happiness through my window.

When you're around everything seems perfect, lively, happy.


We are like sides of a coin; without any one, we are nothing.

Deep within

He says: "I wanna love somebody like you."

She knew it right from the start.

"It's not me. Think again.

I'm not her,
I'm not that girl who you think she is.
I'm not like cars; I don't run right.
My words slip all the time. I tremble for nothing. I drop things often. I laugh my heart out and I cry a lot. No I'm not her."

"That what makes me fall for you. You, being who you are. Not afraid of showing the real you, with me."

The world stop spinning. Her heart stop beating.

Dropped dead.

Deep within: "It's not you."

For the love...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Comments:

"Being a sikh I can with all honesty say my respect for Islam has risen even more."

"I'm an atheist and I love this poem. People often ignore beauty if it gets in the way of their stubbornness. For everybody on here criticising Islam, this isn't the point of the poem. Just as you buy into sounds and explosions in outer space while you watch science fiction, try to buy into his words as you listen to the poem. You don't have to believe in a viewpoint to be touched by an argument. I think this is a beautiful piece, regardless of any personal slant."

ALlahu'a'lam.

[Wish I can write a lyrical poem which is true, honest and enlightening at the same time. Just like this one. May ALlah bless you, Brother Muhammed.]

Erat

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Seperti pahlawan di tengah perang;
Antara shahid dan menang.

Sedikit lagi.
Sedikit lagi--


ALlahu'a'lam

Don't trust me.

I lied.

A lot.

Yesterday

Last night

Two days ago

Four years ago


And I'd lie again.


So please... Don't trust me.


When you saw me smiling and laughing and I told you everything is alright; I lied.

When you asked if I was OK and I said yes; I lied.

When you asked if I was mad at you and I said no; I lied.

When you say 'I love you' and I said nothing; I lied.

When you say 'Please forgive me' and I kept silent; I lied.


I lied about how I feel.

I lied when I say it doesn't hurt.

I lied when I hugged you and tears didn't fall.

I lied when we parted I did not bid farewell.

I lied when I make you think that I do not care.

I lied.

I lied.

And I'm not sorry that I do.

I'm not sorry that I do--

P.s.: Do not keep score.

Ingrained in you;
A score you do not allow to fall
Even to the least of 0.1

Mark every expectation,
Grumble of what should and should not,
Spit all the despise.

You wronged them; denied.
You caught them terrified.

Have you the courage to ask; Why?

Andai ini yang terakhir...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahiim...


Saat demi saat yang berlalu
Sebelum hadirnya; ditunggu-tunggu, dirindu.
Setelah hadirnya; dibiarkan saja ia berlalu.
Tanpa sesal,
Tanpa kesal.

Kian berlalu,
Ramadhan kali ini pasti pergi.

Andai ini yang terkhir...

Apa sudah cukup membasuh diri?
Apa sudah kuat menggentar jiwa?
Apa semakin dalam Cinta?
Apa semakin kecil dunia?

Setakat mana nilai amalmu?
Terkesankah pada hati?
Terlihatkah pada peribadi?


Purnama Ramadhan ini pastikan pergi,
Ruhnya; biar kekal abadi--


ALlahu'alam


[Mari hayati ini: Muhasabah Ramadhan]

Mendengarkan Jujur Jiwa

Bait-bait dari bibir mulus itu,
Satu-satu menusuk ke lohong jiwa.

Di satu-satunya ada asa yang tergetarkan.
Benarnya ia sungguh-sungguh menekan setiap nadi yang berdenyut.
Menelaah setiapnya juga ibarat mengharung ombak pantai di musim tengkujuh.

Gerun dan keras.

Tenggelam dan timbul.

Bernyawa dan tidak.

Personifikasi kita sama; Air.

"Air"

kalaulah aku ini elemen;
aku air.

setenang2nya ia,
segarang2nya ia.
aku sesungguhnya seperti air.

dan sepertimana aku ini tidak pernahnya pegun dan teguh,
aku begitu mudah dipecahgoyangkan,
aku begitu murah direnyahhilangkan.

ada juga mungkin dalam fitrah ini, aku tidak mampu untuk cuma hidup di satu2 ruang.
mungkin di muara, mungkin di kuala.
mungkin di permukaan,
mungkin juga disedut ke langit sana,
demi kemungkinan untuk aku menghujan kembali rasa mendiami bumi bulat kita.

penat menjadi aku.
penat kerana tak reti setempat.

aku air.
dan keteguhan aku dalam sesuatu mampu menyompek besi waja yang tak terhancurkan. sekali dengan amarahku ada upaya untuk menghancur dan membinasakan.

aku air.
dan aku takkan larat diempangkan.

[Ini karya halus Kak Fynn Jamal. Kita sama kak, seperti air.]

Cinta Sufi

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Pasti ini bukan yang terakhir kali

saat menjejak ke bumi yang pertama terlihatkan; cahaya.

Jalanan sempit jelma luas

bahkan terlorong mencerah pintas-pintas.

Dan masih;

tidak kesampaian.

Menjerit melolong mahu disambut lalu sedikit sahaja kata kasih yang ada cuma cungap-cungap kikir yang tak akan pernah puas!

Berlari dan mencari ke atas gunung, ke hujung lembah, ke tengah lautan, ke dalam hutan.

Dan masih;

tidak tertemukan.

Sudah lelah barangkali,

Putus harap barangkali.

Perlahan dia pencil...

Suatu sudut di hujung dunia,

Hanya dengan Dia.

Tiada siapa-siapa.

Dengan Dia dan hanya Dia.

Nampak? Tidak.

Dan Suara Kalam Agung bergema memecah semesta: "Sesungguhnya Aku adalah dekat."--

ALlahu'alam.

[Jatuh cinta dengan Karya Sufi Maulana Jalaluddin al Rumi! ALlahu ALlah...]

The Best!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Follwing are some of the best known couplets from the beautiful Poetry of Hassan bin Thabit RadhiALlahu anh, a great poet of the Holy Prophet SalaLlahualayhiwaalihiwasallam

"wa ahsanu minka lam thara qatun Aini
wa ajmalu minka talidin nisa’

khuliqta mubarra an min kulli aibin
ka annaka qad khuliqta kama tashaa"

My eyes have not seen more beautiful person than you
No women has given birth to a more beautiful person than you

You have been created without any weakness and blemish
As if you have been created as you wished to be created

‘I could not praise Muhammad with my words; rather, my words were made praiseworthy by Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).’

ALlahu'alam.

Jatuh Cinta...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahiim...

'Ketika Akhwat Jatuh Cinta'

Akhwat Jatuh Cinta??

Tak ada yang aneh, mereka juga adalah manusia...

Bukankah cinta adalah fitrah manusia???

Tak pantaskah akhwat jatuh cinta???

Mereka juga punya hati dan rasa...

Tapi tahukah kalian betapa berbedanya mereka saat cinta seorang lelaki menyapa hatinya???
Tak ada senyum bahagia, tak ada rona malu di wajah, tak ada buncah suka di dada...

Namun sebaliknya...

Ketika Akhwat Jatuh Cinta...

Yang mereka rasakan adalah penyesalan yang amat sangat, atas sebuah hijab yang tersingkap...
Ketika lelaki yang tak halal baginya, bergelayut dalam alam fikirannya, yang mereka rasakan adalah ketakutan yang begitu besar akan cinta yang tak suci lagi...

Ketika rasa rindu mulai merekah di hatinya, yang mereka rasakan adalah kesedihan yang tak terperih akan sbuah asa yang tak semestinya…

Tak ada senyum bahagia, tak ada rona malu…
Yang ada adalah malam-malam yang dipenuhi air mata penyesalan atas cinta-Nya yang ternodai…
Yang ada adalah kegelisahan, karena rasa yang salah arah…
Yang ada adalah penderitaan akan hati yang mulai sakit…

Ketika Akhwat Jatuh Cinta…

Bukan harapan untuk bertemu yang mereka nantikan, tapi yang ada adalah rasa ingin menghindar dan menjauh dari orang tersebut…

Tak ada kata-kata cinta dan rayuan…

Yang ada adalah kekhawatiran yang amat sangat, akan hati yang mulai merindukan lelaki yang belum halal atau bahkan tak akan pernah halal baginya…

Ketika mereka jatuh cinta, maka perhatikanlah, kegelisahan di hatinya yang tak mampu lagi memberikan ketenangan di wajahnya yang dulu teduh…

Mereka akan terus berusaha mematikan rasa itu bagaimanapun caranya…
Bahkan kendati dia harus menghilang, maka itu pun akan mereka lakukan...

Alangkah kasihannya jika akhwat jatuh cinta…
Karena yang ada adalah penderitaan…

Tapi ukhti…
Bersabarlah…
Jadikan ini ujian dari Rabbmu…

Matikan rasa itu secepatnya…
Pasang tembok pembatas antara kau dan dia…
Pasang duri dalam hatimu, agar rasa itu tak tumbuh bersemai…
Cuci dengan air mata penyesalan akan hijab yang sempat tersingkap...

Putar balik kemudi hatimu, agar rasa itu tetap terarah hanya padaNya…
Pupuskan rasa rindu padanya dan kembalikan dalam hatimu rasa rindu akan cinta Rabbmu…

Ukhti… Jangan khawatir kau akan kehilangan cintanya…

Karena bila memang kalian ditakdirkan bersama, maka tak akan ada yang dapat mencegah kalian bersatu…

Tapi ketahuilah, bagaimana pun usaha kalian untuk bersatu, jika Allah tak menghendakinya, maka tak akan pernah kalian bersatu…

Ukhti… Bersabarlah…

Biarkan Allah yang mengaturnya...

Maka yakinlah... Semuanya akan baik-baik saja…

Semua Akan Indah Pada Waktunya…

My Hope and Strength Is With My Allah

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

This is a poem written by a friend of mine, a sister who I knew through blogging. She commented on one of my entries and we became friends through Massenger and now, mashaALlah, we are still friends though I haven't had a chance to meet her. Really would love to!

She is Rahma alKhadr Rahimah. May ALlah bless you always and may this friendship that bonds us Lillah keep us together and last till Jannah inshaALlah. Thank you so much for always reminding me and others on how a Mu'min should act, think and behave. JazakALlahulaki ya ukhtie!

This poem is about why we should put ALlah 'Azzawajalla first and the utmost Love before any other...

“I refuse to be discouraged, to be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted, and here’s the reason why…
I have “Allah” who’s the all mighty,
Who’s Sovereign and Supreme

I have a ”Allah” who loves me, And I am on His team.
He is all wise and powerful, Most Merciful is His name;
Though everything is changeable, My “Allah” remains the same.
My “Allah” knows all that’s happening

Beginning to the end, His presence is my comfort, He is my dearest friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me, to bring my head down low,
I call upon my Mighty “Allah”; Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten to rob me from my peace

He draws me closer,

Where all my strivings cease. And when my heart melts within me,
and weakness takes control, He gathers me into His arms,
He soothes my heart and soul.

The great “ALLAH” is alwasy be with me, my life is in His hand, “Allah” is my hope,
It’s in His strength I stand. I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my Lord “Rabb

He has promised to be with me, as through this life I trod.
I’m looking past all my circumstances, To Heaven’s throne above;
my prayers have reached My “Allah”, I’m resting in His love.

I give my “Allah” thanks in everything, my eyes seek him;

The battle’s is in mine, the victory is with him, He’ll help me win the race.

"Except for Allah, is there any other Creator who provides for you out of heaven and earth? There is no god except He. Where then do you turn?"

( Quran Surah al Faatir: 3)

Insha’Allah Aameen Ya Rabb!

Singkapan Makhfi

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Mendongak langit
Awan putih seakan ringan ditiup angin
Berlatarkan langit biru

Seperti mentari hari itu
Tidak terlihatkan
Namun bias cahaya ada menghidupkan dunia
Tak bisa warna-warni alam seceria itu tanpa ia

Melangkah dengan derap tapak yang layu
Mencari-cari Cahaya;
Cahaya di atas Cahaya

Pada pandangan mata; ada
Di situ cuma

Hiba--


ALlahua'lam

[Makhfi ALlah itu lebih membahagiakan bila diyakini ruhnya...]
