  1. Tears become the karmic ink
    inside the pen that knows only to create .
    They flow down the capillary to moisten
    the seeds of our dreams
    to reap the promise of spring …
    Someday …

  5. It’s so short, but yet so meaningful, I don’t think you are “learning to be a poet or writer” YOU ARE A POET AND A WRITER, It’s great to see that guy with a sensitive side that he uses for his writing, Love It!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. 🙂

  11. I am astounded by your talent and wisdom. I have just read three poems of yours, and each one had such depth. There are times you sound like a prophet. We could do a lot worse.

      2. That’s a compliment. Thank you, Resa. I am humbly thankful. You are one generous soul. 🙂

        The works of Rumi and Gibran are my source of inspiration, but I am a thousand miles away to get to the place they are now.

        This is a sample of my work: https://subhanzein.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/dont-you-fear-the-unknown/

        and this is a sample of Rumi’s work: https://subhanzein.wordpress.com/2012/07/12/like-this/

        You can see that the former is still a thousand miles away from the latter, right?

  19. Amazing thought, Subhan. Our world is both verbal and non-verbal, and words are a way of expressing our emotions, just as are the idiosyncrasies of our body language.

    1. Hi Kate,

    1. Thank you very much, Archana. You’re very sweet. 🙂

      Well that’s interesting. I suppose it should appear in your reader. But anyway, I am trying to make regular posts starting next week. You could expect me to post every Monday and Thursday. So if you’re not getting any of my posts on your reader or your email on those two days, please do come here for a visit. And if the problem persists, perhaps we could write a complaint to WordPress sometime later?

  42. A Psalm of Mine ©2012 Lyn Leahz

    O’ my Father, to You I give everything…for I am Yours, and Yours alone.

    How I have committed adultery and fornication against You, Adonai,

    Yet You alone hast forgiven me of all of my folly.

    Who else is able to forgive but You alone? For You hold the keys of life and of death;

    You who sits on high in the heavenly places,

    Resting Your feet upon this earth that Your hands formed.

    You who has put all things beneath Your feet, and it is by Your unfathomable love that all things were created.

    Let me never forget that it is by Your great love and mercy through which I was created.

    When You stomp Your soles against the sky,

    The earth quakes and trembles below;

    When you raise Your fist in the face of Your enemies,

    They fall to their demise; for who can stand against the one true God of all?

    It is by Your permission that my heart continues to beat,

    And it was through Your breath that life was breathed into me.

    Who will stand before the lion and say that You are not Adonai?

    Who will stand before the lamb and say that He was never slain?

    Who will stand in the presence of Your Spirit and not be blown down?

    Not one; for all shall be humbled in Your glorious splendor and mighty power!

    When they have said, “There is no God!” You could have destroyed them.

    How long, O’ Lord, will You allow blasphemy and self-righteousness?

    It is Your ears that hear every whisper uttered in silence,

    And it is Your right hand who will save Your people from tribulation;

    And with the same hand many shall die by the sword of His Word!

    Have mercy upon us, Jehovah–Have mercy upon us who stand pure in Your sight;

    How long will Your mercy endure upon the godless and the whoremongers?

    For You are God; You are God alone.

    O’, who can stand in the presence of our Lord?

    Who can deny the omnipotent name of Adonai?

      1. Amen. This life is not about receiving glory for ourselves, but about glorifying God. And very, very soon, we shall all see Him coming in the clouds for His children. Woe unto them who do not know or accept His Son, Jesus Christ….for one day, every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of all! I humble myself before Him as His servant…for He is the author of my life, the author of my books, the author of my slavation…the author of the website that is called mine by the world, but belongs to Him…

    2. What wonderful day that will be when we hear the voice of our saviour. And we fly away!

      1. Oh, you need to read the first book…if you read Ezekiel, he speaks of wheels within a wheel whose outer edges are like beryl (bright yellow) with cherubs (who are frightening looking, yet from God) and how it spins around in the heavens, and moves very fast, and with a loud thunderous noise. Then we have Elijah who is raptured by the Chariot of Fire..with horses made of fire. My rendition of the glorious appearing is that the sky opens up and takes on the form of two enormous wheels, one within the other, with outer edges that are bright yellow. Out of it emerge millions of balls of fire (chariots of fire) and those who see the children of our Lord get taken see a bright flash like lightening. Those in the world who did not know Jesus Christ as their Savior who are left behind believe that aliens came and took everyone away because Satan, for hundreds of years (the master manipulator) throughout time has created such a device that the world has seen and labled as a UFO. Satan over the years has counterfeited God’s heavenly vehicle, knowing that this is what God would use during the rapture, so that people would be deceived into thinking they were taken by a UFO instead of raptured by the glory of Adonai. So in short, in preparation for this event, Satan has allowed people to see such a thing, and even those who have claimed to have had horrible testing done on them by demonic beings…it was demons! Satans counterfeit…the UFO. So when people see the return of Christ, it will appear to them as a UFO because they have only seen and heard of Satan’s counterfeit. If you study Ezekiel and all of the stories throughout the Bible about people getting raptured either to heaven, or to another place on the earth, the chariot of fire was always used.

      2. And the first book in my Martyrdom Series is called Soul Deceiver. In book two, a most evil man from book one gets brought to his knees by God and becomes the second Moses..the Moses of the tribulation period..in which he stands before the false prophet and says, “Let My people go!”

  43. I like this very much. The simplicity of it is it’s beautiful and powerful -sparkling with clarity. And it got me to thinking in a different direction.

    I am one who finds words at times not so trustworthy, as silly as that sounds. I like my words to have voice. How do one give voice to written word without ‘quotations’? Give them ownership? Do I take away or diminish from your intent by giving ‘Words’ ownership?

    ‘My Words are tears that have been sculpted with sorrow;
    and my tears are words that need to be shed’.

    1. It’s a problem that also leaves me in perplexity, but I suppose you can create it that way, if you like.

      Or perhaps we need to consult to some experts on this?

  48. You are so right, Subhan: both tears and words are needed to form the pathway to happiness! We need to let words and tears flow to cleanse the hurt and make room for joy!

  71. For you, Subhan:
    Sorrows are wordless tears,
    Shed silently over the years;
    Neither word nor tear can ever convey,
    The brilliance of my inner joy,
    and the inner grief…endless.
