" What is it"

There are things in life I can’t figure out,
Just when I think I found the perfect route,
I find my self being clout,

Not by human being,
But rather the supernatural,
I wonder what it may be seeing,
I’m only natural,

Can u guess what has got me down to the root?
What’s hurting me so bad?
Can u think of anyone?

Is around us all the time…
It makes us doing things that we don’t want to do…
Even if we try to out smart him his always there…
He never understands no….
Because, he wants us to dangle with him in the hell fire…

But we must keep Allah (SWT) close to our hearts,
We must feel his presents,
We must know that Allah (SWT) selected us over this creature,
Allah (SWT) provide us with guides to enter paradise,
In order to enter paradise we must ordain knowledge,
May Allah (SWT) be with us all… Am’een
May we find inner strength, Am’een

"Somali_part3"

What’s wrong my land,
Why don’t u want to lend me your hand,

I don’t understand why you’re running away,
Why are you pushing us away?

I wonder if you’re sick in the head, or just plan stupid,
I wonder when you’ll find love; I wonder where cupid is,

I wonder why u can’t just live in peace,
I wonder if the death rate will increase,

Why can’t u just leave the tribe problems behind?
O Somali why are u so blind,

Why can’t you see what you’ve lost?
How long will it last,

When will the day come when you’ll lend me your hand?
When will u stand tall, and understand,

That we miss you so,
We want you to know that we went to see u glow,


"LOVE YOU MOM"

I WONDER WHERE I WOULD BE IF YOU WEREN’T HERE TO GUIDE ME,
I WONDER WHAT I WILL BE, IF YOU WEREN’T RIGHT HERE WITH ME

YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME,
YOU SEE,

YOU’VE BEEN THERE FRO ME THROUGH GOOD AND BAD,
YOU’VE ALWAYS CALMED ME DOWN WHEN I WAS MAD,

YOU’VE PICKED ME UP WHEN EVER I MAY FALL,
YOU’VE HELP ME LEARN TO CRAWL,

YOU’VE TOUGHT ME HOW TO WALK,
YOU’VE TOUGHT ME HOW TO TALK,

I WISH I COULD THANK YOU, FOR WHAT EVER YOU’VE DONE,
YOU’VE SHOWN ME HOW TO HAVE FUN,

MO YOU’RE THE BEST,
I WISH I COULD FREE YOU FROM ALL STRESS,

YOU’VE GIVEN ME LOVE AND HOPE,
YOU’VE ALWAYS GIVEN ME THE DOPE,

I THANK YOU SO MUCH MORE,
I PROMISE TO ALWAYS ADORE,

YOUR TENDER HEART,
I PROMISE YOU’LL NEVER FALL APART,

"Dreams"

Dreams”
Dreams are undefined, as well know,
We all wonder what dreams show,
We wonder if it’s the past or present,
Most dreams are pleasant,

But I wonder how long I will have to dream, to get u near me,
How long do I have to weep, to make u see?
Please tell me now,
If you’re ready to take the vow?

I miss you so,
Even though I’m young, I want to grow old with you through summer and snow,

My dreams are real,
And they’re all about my feelings,
My dreams are real,
Because they’re about loving,

"Could it Be?"

“Could it be?”
Could it be I once saw you?
Could it be I once saw u in a dream?
Could it be possible that I was holding you?
Or could it just be some gleams,

Or were u there,
Or was it magic take it its turn,
I could almost swear that u were here,
Or is my heart burning,

For your love,
Or could it be possible I could have your love
In this world and the one to come,
Promise me, if not I don’t know what I’ll become,

COULD IT BE?

"MY MOTHER"

My mother is the sweetest and most delicate of all,
She knows more of paradise than angels can recall,
She’s not only beautiful, but passionately young,
She is always there for me,
I love my mother you see,
She is the best,
She is always there for me, and impressed,
My mother is the light ray for the sun,
She’s the only one,
She’s made of roses, lilies, and cotton candy,
For she confronts me, with love and caring thoughts,
She’s like no other,
And she is my mother…..
~Mom this is for you Khadij~ :) i love you

"MY LAND" and yours

Once we were an outstanding Land,
Once we had the power in our hand,
The unpolluted air,
The fresh fruits that you planted in your own farm,
Tasted so Good,

Let’s just say we….. Were the land in control,
Our land was like no other land,
It was beautiful like the stars up in the sky,
It was astounding like the years that passed away,

You didn’t have to worry about your children,
Because every got along so well.
There was nothing to worry about,
Not having to deal with tax issues,
Not having to worry about bills,
Not having to depend on pay check after pay check,


Life was sweet,
It all started with minor fights,
Dealing with tribes,
So as days go by our motherland is on its last legs,
Or should I say is vanishing,
I guess ignorance was the key to distraction for our country,


I stand here before you sharing the little piece of memories I have
About my motherland,
I don’t remember the last time we had peace,
The war that began
In the year 91 is still going on,
You see it is not everybody that makes our land unsafe,
For our future children,

Is those violent gun men that keep this nonsense burning,
They are not contemplating on their children’s future,
For as far as I’m concerned they are the most selfish beings on earth,
They need to be punished,
Since they are oppressing the innocent peace loving Somalia people,
They need to be punished,
Since oppression is one of the 70 major sins,
I believe they completely deserve it,

I don’t understand how they can kill anyone,
I don’t understand how they sleep at night after
They’ve just killed someone,
I wonder where they think they’ll end up after they die,
They certainly don’t ask for forgiveness because….
They keep on killing/ robbing innocent people,
They claim that they are Muslims,
But if they are Muslims,
Why are they doing this to each other?



In one way I’m extremely disappointed,
And sad about how things are back in our homelands,
I guess most of us got used to the American life style,
That we forgot about our own land,
Needing us,

I wonder when Somalia will be back to being that beautiful nation it once was,
What happened to our national anthem?
What makes a nation?
When its own people are at war within themselves?
What is the quality of the country when its people are not putting effort to make the land any better,
I guess our people forgot what we had once,
I guess they forgot the beauty of Somalia,
Our land is still living in the dim,
Instead of living in the glow,
Hopeful by the grace of God we will,
One day come together as a nation and make it,

~some where in a DREAM~

Some where in a DREAM”
As I lay my head down
to sleep you arrive,

Some where in a dream
You were calling to me.
Oh! How I would love
A night spend with you.

Some where in a dream
Your eyes mesmerized me badly,

I wake you reaching for you
But your already gone…

Secret desire


Shhh…. Want to know a secret
There he is…. With that sweet gentle smile,
O… knowing that it was wrong to fall in love with him,
Here he comes with that joyful laughter,
From that very first moment my eyes set on him ,
And the feelings rushed through my vines,
I have given up everything for him
Loving him is so errant ‘cause’
Looking at him I feel like my world is just one big escalator,
I try so hard to escape from his attraction,
When I get the chance to express my feelings,
I just get so shy and run away,
But I want him to be the never ending story of my love,
My desire for him is eternal
If he and I shell be lucky to be together
I promise him my heart, love and undying devotion,
I promise to always be there till the end of time

~i love you~

I promise you a life time of love,
You’re all that I want to have,
You’ve shown me more to living,
You’ve shown me how to breathe,
You’ve given me happiness,
I love you endlessly,

I didn’t know what love was till you walked right by,
I promise to never lie to you r make you cry,
I love you to much to eve bring a tear to your eyes,
I never knew I could feel like this
I can’t wait till we kiss,

~Mohamed~

~Mohamed~

~What is friendship some people ask?
And what is friendships task?

And do you only make friends once in your life?

I look at them and say,
You’re that someone who won’t betray,

And know the meaning of friends,
No matter how life tangles up in the ends,

You know you have a special place in my heart,
And yes we’re far apart,

But my friendship I have given you,
No matter how far apart we are I promise to stand by our friendship for it is true,

Just talking to you today made me realize how lucky I am to have a friend like you,
I promise to always listen to your point of view,

I don’t know you that well,
But hearing you voice was major swell,

I have many friends that I cherish,

And now you are one of those I cherish the most,

And so when they ask me what is Friendship?
I’ll say Mohamed,
And what is the task of a friendship?
I will say my friend is the task of friendship,

~You never make friends once in you life… :)

~For~

~For~
For there is no I in love,
For there is only “we” in love,
You where the one “so I thought”,
For I gave you all the love your heart desired,
For you inspired me to do my best,
For the time being my heart will weep,

For is just a matter of time that the fire you lit
In this pure heart of mine will turn off soon
For there is no time to play around,
For you have no understanding what love is,
For what is it going to take to make a guy like you to understand that?

For the cycle of love isn’t about lying, joking is about understanding loving,
Trusting, and caring with heartbeat
For life is to short capture the moments while they are alive,
For you have no chance to lose,

For love only comes once in a blue moon,
Don’t let that chance go,
For you’ll regret it for the rest of your life
For I have always thought we would be forever one,
Now I come to see that,
No one can predict what the future holds,
For I will always love you~



~Women in Islam~

~women In Islam~
What is their fate?
This has been the subject of many a debate,

It can be seen from reading the holy Qu’ran,
That a woman has some privilege over a man,

A women after marriage becomes a wife
For nine long months she carries a new life,

They may marry or divorce; it’s their choice, their own,
After marriage she can retain her old maiden name,

The best men are those who are best to their wives,

You see my nonbeliever friends,
Islam gives women rights of their own
We are free… we are not lied to or cheated on
In Islam they are favored and …Treated with respect

~I thank you Allah~

~I thank you Allah~
For all the things,
I have,
For my friends,
For my love,
I love you so much,
Thank you Allah for my loving family,
For food,
I thank you Allah for all that you give,
I know sometimes I’m naughty so please
Forgive,
Please teach me to do my best each day
And let my heart be ready and willing to pray,
Thanks for making my family and I who we are today,
Without you we’re nothing,
Allah make us those who enter paradise,

~Jealousy~

“Jealousy”

We live in a world full of creatures, great and small
Including things that are tiny and tall
I don’t care about the things I see
This is just a poem by me

They just can’t let me be,
They want to be like me,
They try to look like me,
But Allah only made me,
They just can’t look like me,

They hate on me,
Cause I got it together,
Cause I got the prefect man,
Why must they be jealous of me?

They want to be me,
cause am strong,
cause I don’t let things bring me down,
cause I don’t let clouds get in my way,

Why can’t they just let me be me?
Why is it so hard for them to see they can never be me?
Cause Allah only made me.

I have the courage to be me,
To be who I love to be,

I respect haters,
Cause they’re to busy trying to be me,
When Allah only made one of me,

~Brother~

~ Brother~
It’s been long lonely years since we’ve seen each other,
I can’t recall the last time we made fun of each other,
~O how I missed you,

I spent half of my life without you by my side,
In my heart I carry the little sweet memories that you provide,
~O how I missed you,

I get jealous when I see my friends with their brothers,
But then in the bottom of my heart I know I got it better,
~O how I missed you,

You might not be here to offer me your brotherly love,
But you light up every memory that I have,
~O how I miss you,

Even now that you’re far away from me,
You share so much with me,
~O how I missed you,

If we may never see each other
Even thought there is no other place I rather be,
I love you endlessly,
You’re my brother…

~Best Friend

~Best Friend~
In life there are wonders beyond our imagination,
Then a friend comes along and takes your frustration,

We’ve been friends for half of our lives,
Our friendship has grown like river full of new arrivals,

Each day that I breathe I thank Allah (swt) for sending you my way,
Sometimes people have one of bitter days,
But with u by my side is always a brighter day,
I can’t see my self getting mad at u not even a day,

I know you had bad luck with love
But love is a crazy game beyond the invisible,
I know your hurt,
Cause your pain is visible,

But as long as you’re calling me a friend
You’ll never feel alone,
What the future holds is unknown,

I hope you know that the love u had for him was never meant to be,

~Somali~

“Somali”
This is the land that was once powerful,
It was the land of my mothers,
It had beauty that was undefined,
It was my birth place, and so many others,

As years went by the land started to unwind,
What was once liberated is now deliberated it,
I admit my land needs to quite, with the war within,
It needs to develop that beauty it once had,
Somali is the land where beauty was made,
Is about time that we stopped betraying our land,

Is sad to see that the beauty it had has faded away,
Is about time we twisted the gray in to day,
Is about time to convey,

Is about time Somali came back to being Somali,
Is about time we became jolly,

Is about time we kicked them gun men out,
With out them our land will be back to being
Beautiful with out a doubt,
We need to come together and reunite our land,
And stand side by side and bring Somali back,
don’t u think is about time?

~I love you~

~I love you~
The sun is shining everyday
Clouds never get in the way,
For you and me,
I’ve known you just a week or two
But baby I’m so into you,
Can’t hardly breathe,
I’m so in totally,
Wrapped up emotionally,
Attracted so physically,
Acting so recklessly,
I need you desperately
,

My LOVe~

~My LOVE~
I promise you a life time of love,
You’re all that I want to have,
You’ve shown me more to living, You’ve shown me how to breathe,
You’ve given me happiness,
Thanks to you,
now I live a life full of cheerfulness,
I LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY,
I didn’t know what love was till you walked right by,
I promise to never lie to you or make you cry,
I love you to much too even bring a tear to your eyes,
I never knew I could feel like this,
I can’t wait till we kiss, I never meant to fall in love with you,
But letters and stories captured my heart,
Filled me with passion almost from the start,
Love on the internet, how could it be?
These things just don’t happen to people like me,
But now as the days went by I’ve come to realize I love you with all my heart,
I love you for everything you are,
I love you for your caring heart,
I don’t know what I would do if I was ever to loss you,
I love you with every breath I take,

~What I am~

“What I am”
I'm an angel, I'm a devil
I am sometimes in between
I'm as bad it can get
And good as it can be
Sometimes I'm a million colors
But mostly am me

I am all extremes
Try figure me out you never can
There's so many things I am
I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
I'm powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
I'm someone filled with self-belief
I'm haunted by self-doubt
I've got all the answers
I've got nothing figured out
I like to be by myself
I hate to be alone
I'm up and I am down
But that's part of the thrill
But that’s just part of me
That’s just my everyday deal
I’m me
I’m you,
I’m Dramatist
I’m realistic
I’m heaven and hell
I’m white and pink
I’m from East Africa
I’m the queen of Somali
I’m on top of the world,
I’m your reflection,
I’m perfectionTry to understand I’M JUST ME!

~Days without you~

~Days with out you~
I miss you so much day and night,
I know if you were here my days would be bright,
I just want to share my nights with you in sight,
I know I won't pull through without you by my side,
So come to me and don't hide,
Don't you think is about time I became your bride?
Don't you know that you make my days count?
And I know I would be happy if you were around,
I'm overwhelmed with a burning desire,
A desire more like a fire,
I love you not today,
But for ever.

~Untitled~

~Untitled~
Does anybody ever stay in love?
Because am afraid to lose you,
You tell me how much you love me,
Each and everyday that goes by,
But I wonder does anybody every stay in love anymore?
I wonder why I love you so much,
I wonder why I'm scared to lose you,
I wonder why my body is sore,
Does anybody ever stay in love?
I wonder when I will get the chance to say I do,
I wonder when "I" becomes "we",
I wonder why I pray for you not to say bye,
When will you walk into my door?
I wonder when I will feel your tender touch,
I promise to always be true to you,
I want you to know I need you for ever more~

~Untitled~


~Untitled~
I ask my self...do i like you?
I respond to myself NO,I LOVE YOU,
I ask my self do i want you?
I respond to myself NO,I NEDD YOU,
I ask myself are you it?
I respond to myself NO,YOU'RE THE ONE,
I love you for now and for ever,
I love you till is time to say goodbye,
I love you day and night,
I love your gentle voice,
I love your humor,
I love your outgoing mind,
I love your intellectual talks,
I love you for you,
And i tell myself your just the perfect man!

~Mor then Friends~

~ More then friends~
The way you looked at me,
The way you made me smile,
I just wanted to dance and sing,
We've known each other forever,
I've always meant to tell you how I felt,
But I can never because you're with her,
All those moments we spent together,
I'll treasure,
Knowing that we can only be friends,
What would've happen if I had told you?
What would've change about us if you had liked me the way I was crazy about you?
I need to stop wondering,
Those moments would never come,
no never,
Still, the way you look at me,
The way you make me smile,
I'm still crazy about you,
But if only you knew,
That I loved you.*
