Thanks for the kind words, Sis.

Sitting alone in my room I am a voluntary prisoner bound in chains of timeless rules and muffled by traditional ways So I wait in silence. Leaning against the window I rest my head against the cool pane and look longingly out into a forbidden world blinking against the dancing rays of the sun which pass through the fragile shield of the glass warming my thristy skin tenderly kissing it into a golden glow licking my bitter tears of frustration Mystery and excitement elude me as I sink deeper within the pool of my imagination and create a make-believe world in which I make all the rules No pain No Betryal No Regrets I painstakingly gather the threads of my life and spin a protective cocoon around my self sheilding my heart as I wait in silence Then suddenly almost unexpectedly dark fat clouds loom against the horizon threatening rain Tear-shaped rain drops teasing slide down the glass caressing my face with icy hands as they close me off from the world by a thin yet impermeable film The noise deafens the screamings deep within my aching soul and silence the thundering beating of my wild heart as I rage in silence But for a second through my misty eyes brilliant colours of violet and crimson swim across my vision and I know tomorrow would come So I wait in silence.

^^^True. Thnx for the reminder sis.

ANNABEL LEE Author: Edgar Allan Poe It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea; But we loved with a love that was more than love - I and my Annabel Lee; With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her highborn kinsman came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulcher In this kingdom by the sea. The angels, not half so happy in heaven, Went envying her and me Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. But our love was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we Of many far wiser than we And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee. For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride, In the sepulcher there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea.

^^^Beauty-Full.

Wow. Breathtaking. I am going to buy me Somalia!

^^^Is that supposed to be a trick question? Respect: noun: 1. the condition of being honored (esteemed or respected or well regarded) 2. an attitude of admiration or esteem MsWord. Yes you are right on some points. But the sis said "I have to repect her as a human". No you don't. Where did that come from? And Im being general here...because I have heard it so many times. IF a person is blantly going against Allah...or if he/she is not muslim...is commiting acts that are illegal or morally wrong....are you supposed to respect them? How does that go? In the case of family...If your elder is a child molester, theif, wife-beater...you are supposed to respect him/her? Because it says to "respect your elders"? Sis there is a limit to everything...and I still believe that respect has to be earned. I think people are mixing up the words-respect and tolerate. You can tolerate a person without respecting them. IN the case of homosexuals...its between them and Allah. All you can do is advice them...if not part ways. Furthermore, as a human being there is a measure of respect/regard that is due to you for just being human/born, it is called civil rights. Yes. But that is people in general. We are not talking about them individually.

Our religion clearly tells us to treat people equally and to respect human dignity, which means I do not have to tolerate her choices but I can still respect her as a human. This political correctedness thing is going to far...how can you..in your right mind...say that our religion says to 'RESPECT' someone who Allah hates? Who Allah and his angels curse? Who is the source for Allah's anger? Respect is EARNED sis. You can't just give it to anyone...just for being human...for being born. It seems nowadays that the word RESPECT has lost its meaning and is being thrown every which way. but I can still respect her as a human. That must be the most overused and misused cliche ever. So following that logic...you respect Sharon? Bush? Warlords? Rapists? Child Molesters? Cause they are afterall humans too.

^I dont know what you are trying to achieve...but humour is not one of them. You are not funny. And I hope you will stop. :rolleyes:

^^^ ALlah ha u naxariiso aboowe. Ameen.

The Lip-Plates! :eek: :eek: :eek: How do they talk? Eat? Drink? Smile? Laugh?

Hooyo I saw you yesterday When you thought I wasn’t looking Applying Vaseline and countless other creams to your face and hands Hoping that it would smooth the wrinkles that time and life etched into your face with such gentle tenderness When you get angry You love to tell us With a deeply forlorn look, That the wrinkles are from yelling at us And the gray hairs from the all the trouble And heartache we always cause you Tugging at our heartstrings and making us suffer in guilt & regret for a few seconds but then we forget and things are back to normal However, I know that’s not true hooyo macaan I know why you have those wrinkles around your eyes and lips And the few gray hairs that stubbornly seem to wriggle their way out of your masar that you try to hide with henna They are caused by: All the pain you tried to bite back As the labour contractions almost rocked you off the bed The screams you heroically swallowed in As we pushed our way into the world The tearful smile you sent the doctor As we were placed upon your heart Every grimace you gave as we tested our new Teeth on your tender nipples Each agonizing tug of your heart As we skinned a knee Broke a tooth or just felt sad The countless sleepless, long, exhausting hours You sang, rubbed our backs As we lay sick in bed The times you paced around in worry franitcally calling all our friends wondering why we were 5 minutes late Each night you lay awake trying to imagine all the horrible things that coud befall us as we were in school, mall, or just walking in the street conjuring up the worst case scenerios breaking your heart wanting deperately to lock us in the house so no one could hurt us but knowning that is not possible Each time you laughed hysterically at our very very bad jokes and the times you cried with us experiencing our pain and hoping that you could take it away So dear mother when you look into the mirror you see ugliness in your wrinkles and lines you see old age creeping in on you dejection plain in your face But through my eyes I see kindness I see love I see where Allah's mercy has been placed and to me Hooyo Macaan You are indeed beautiful

Regrets, unfulfilled promises, and thwarted dreams Running through my mind Chasing sleep out of its warm bed And leaving me shivering in the coldness My heart has turned cold and empty Without the light of you love Shining its every corner Ever crock and angle Warmed Endless scenes of sorrow Heartbreaking images Leaving me with no peace of mind Taunting me Teasing me unmercifully Haunting my dreams Patience and closure No longer able to withstand The cruelty of regret and grief Give in and surrender Held captive And made to suffer endlessly Forced to watch the sad movie of our life Time and time again I would give the world And everything it hides in its deep bosom To tell you that you were my hero And I love you It comforts be that you were smiling As the angels carried your soul off to the unknown May Allah's mercy fall on you and May you forever dwell in peace and happiness I hope that you drink from the fountains of Fardouize I hope that you recieve your heart's content I pray that you get what you deserve Inshallah I will try my best to enter Jannah So we could have eternity at our fingertips To have the relationship we always wanted But that fate kept from us I love you Aaabo Always have Always will

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Rock on FF. Thnx for the info.

^LOL Maybe if you had girly names, I wouldn't make that mistake..

^^Oh thats beautiful. Thanks bro.

Trust men, to butt in where they're not wanted. :rolleyes: P.S. It is true (demonstrated here) that the male species has a hard time following diretions.

^^^Nice. When you ask me why I love you I don't what to say, I love every part of you in every single way. But if you want specifics I'll try to meet your wish and do my best to make a list... I love you for your arms that hold me every night, I love you for your kisses, sometimes strong and sometimes light, I love you for your patience that never seems to end, I love you for the fact I can call you my best friend, I love you for your lips that always seem to smile, I love when you look upon my face for just a little while, I love you for your eyes that see deep within my soul, I love you for your ability to make me feel whole, I love you for you honesty, I know you'll never lie, I love you 'cause you're there for me during the hardest times in life, I love you for your humor and the little jokes we tell, I love this and a million other things as well. You see how hard it is to narrow it all down, there's far too many reasons but here's another I found, I'll never stop loving you as long as I'm still around.... - By David

This is getting boring. Everyone has their own opions----there is no use in trying to make someone agree with your own opinions. Respect others opinions and move on people. This back and forth tug of war is a waste of time and energy.

Thank you all for your kind words. MsWord. That was lovely. -------- I look into the mirror Not knowing who or what’ll I see But I am hopeful Searching for the girl I was And the woman I have become The slowly rise on my toes And wipe the fog from the murky surface Eyes as black as coal in a stranger’s face Stare blankly back at me I step back Sigh And turn away I wish I could shatter the mirror And maybe then I could see What I want to see I don't like the person I have become

Thnx for the info Bro.

What is love? I look for the answers But can’t find any Everyone has their own definition But I don’t I am still searching for it But how can one search for something they don’t know? How will I know when I find it? It comforts me to know the signs But does everyone have the same experiences? Will I know when love knocks on my door? Or will I hesitate And forever lose it?

Dreams as fragile as a spider’s web Hope as fleeting as an injured child I come to you For validation I need to know that I exist Am loved And needed That I matter But you turn me away Not trusting yourself Or our love

I saw the word "ashamed" and "rant" in your post and I stopped reading. Write what you really want when the male person reading over your shoulder leaves. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
