Mirror


Broken, like a mirror.

A reflection, thats too vague to see
and too late to mention
I sit around sometimes, thinking of lost direction

Erase my race in good taste
arrogance is too good to waste
so record over my dirty tape
with clean images of alternate fate

Broken, like a mirror

A good boy, yes a good boy
but good in a world thats shade of grey
with an evil that just wont go away
illusion offers no confusion
but dellusion offers more seclusion

I'm lost at no cost
awaiting the winter frost

A good boy, yes a good boy

Her eyes were my mirror.

kayos i have to agree, im glad our conversation was able to make you laugh....i never said falling in love is haram...i even said that a person can control their actions but cant control the way they feel...thanks for the feedback

I heard that in a lecture by hamza yusuf. As in when you feel hurt (by anything) get closer to Allah as he loves when we turn to him. he was trying to make a point that if you're broken hearted, turn to Allah as Allah is with the broken hearted.

Feelings as far as I know are not haraam. I guess for me I thought I had a chance of marrying the girl, so I told her(and vice versa). I kind of understand that if you cant do anyhting about it, and you tell her, she'll be hurt...but to be honest this is a long conversation.

I'm glad to find the comments hilarious. At least I made you laugh, even if it was at me!! No worries.

Umm.
I just joined this village, and I find the comments both of you post to one another hilarious.
Question.
Why do you say that Allah is with the broken hearted?

Secondly,
I went to a lecture many years ago by Altaf Hussain, and he actually said that falling in love is not haraam, letting the other person know when you can't do anythign about it, is.

Sorry if I'm intruding on your conversations.

thanks...you are right it is a struggle and the struggle doesnt stop even after marriage...and i dont think theres much of a difference bettween me and the guys that have gone in that direction...all it takes is that one time to desensitize everything and your lost forever...thank you for your kind words

lekhok thanks, we cant control the feelings. Thats the test, how we deal with them. feelings are not wrong, but acting on them are. Its all about walking away, and even suffering. But that suffering is rewarded by Allah. Allah is with the broken hearted. Keep the faith, you will get yours dude. having feelings and not doing anyhting for Islam, is jihad, its awesome, its heroic, brave and I respect anyone that can do it.

thats the thing its a no win situation....thats what bothers me about it more than anything...but i guess we have to go through it and suffer to fully appreciate its true meaning and how valuable it is....sometimes i look back and say i should have stayed as far away from it as possible....but then i ask myself is that really possible...i mean you can control the distance you keep from someone but you cant really control how you feel...so even if you dont act on your feelings they are still there and part of who you are...

Lekhok81...i understand man..its not easy. I have also been in a another situation that was similar to yours. I think beng friends ans never having the girl is a killer..but being with her and losing her...that far, far worst.On the other hand, loving someone and not saying anything is torture, so maybe I'm wrong on that one. To tell you the truth, I think we confuse infactuation with love sometimes. Just thank yourself it wasn;t worst..as in you never got with her. Thats a great thing man..seriously its all about marriage..I wish I had never had any experience before that..i mean i stopped but I still regret it. i want to check out your stuff man, I like poems that are real..dotn worry dude we'll get married and write poems for our wives!!!

i had a similar experience with a girl i liked but never approached her b/c of religious reasons...she would drop hints all the time and i would pretend to not to notice them....instead we became really close and she would tell me about her relationships and everytime she had a new crush...and each time she found someone new she liked, it felt like someone stabbed me with a knife....and when the guy would let her down she would become really hurt and even more vulnerable...yet i never approached her and suffered a great deal....it made me stronger in the sense that it left a scar and it takes alot more for now to be hurt

anyway i wrote these crazy love poems and thats really how i got into writing

i like ur style of writing ill definitely check out ur link when i have more time....

she forced me to look at myself. I made a choice, which was to end it...for religious reasons. I tried to marry her but our families hate each other. ANyways, I did the right thing (a good boy) but the mirror being broken, is me, suffering the pain of missing her. So I guess I did the right thing but I miss her..but because of her I started looking at myself and tried to better myself.She was also cruel in the end, yet, because of her I am a better person, a better Muslim. So its that contrast I guess I was trying to get across.
A plug: demotion.blogspot.com for more poems.
