For the Love of Thee

May 12th, 2010 · No Comments

Once upon a heavy heart, When love beckonests, Shuns idle rests, And echoes to be heard. There lived a bearded chap, Who dreamed of a maiden in a flowing cap, Flowing down her bosom like a heavenly tap, Who transported his mind in an ambiguous wrap. Like the constellations of heaven was her face, Which [...]

Happy New Year 2010

To my family for their love and support, To my friends for their support and rapport, To my fellow students for challenging me, To my graceful teachers for educating me. To the Student Life and the SGA for the experiences, To the Leadership Academy for the opportunities. To all my admirers for their love, And [...]

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue

December 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Roses are red, Violets are blue, But you are twice as true. Tinker Bell was bounteous, Cinderella was beauteous, And you are twice as gracious. The sun is a healing sight, And the moon a refreshing light, But your smile shines thrice as bright. Good captains blink, When Titanics sink, But my love for you [...]

The Homecoming

July 1st, 2008 · 4 Comments

When I shall reach dear Lengeren, Stony eyes shall cease to be barren, Oh lofty fence of ancestral glory, Knowing no bounds or kinly boundary. Those huts of honor and goodness, Embodiments of milk of human kindness, The dignified wise and elderly one, Is full of joy to see a cherished man. A perfect mirror [...]

Dead Man’s Counsel

April 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment

On his deathbed the elderly one did lay, Awaiting the gatekeeper to open the exit of his long stay, Up he looked but saw no day, And summoned the chick that he did lay. “Son, dear son, hearken to my words, Thy most invaluable inheritance of it all,” “All ears I am, dear father,” the [...]

February 10th, 2008 · No Comments

A silver white spring flows among the trees, A place of picnic for the busy bees, “Give me drink” , I said To soothe my thirst.

Till that Day…

January 25th, 2006 · No Comments

For generations all come and gone, For passions all discarded or done, Till tan off-springs are born, Brotherhood shall be preached and inhumanity torn. Till the stars could shine leaving no shadows, But a glittering picture of one man, one voice, Till poison-less are the serpents and comforting the fellows, Till a tan kid is [...]

Assalaamu Alaikum, Grandfather

March 2nd, 2004 · 2 Comments

I heard of your passing away yesterday, And following the route to the Last Day, When I heard the news on my phone’s earpiece, I was no more like myself or anything nearer. I spent the day remembering your being, I spent the hours bringing myself back to reality, Because I just got news of [...]
