Salam.
For the past few days, I realised that every one of us will experience every single thing in life.
Have it not been for the strong foundation I have been brought up with and my awesome Islam :)
I would not have known what to do. Experiences shared by the ones we love are invaluable in
creating a mind which not only judges objectively, but also with compassion and understanding.
It has been ages since I last posted something, and I am pretty sure a tiny handful of handfuls
would actually see this post. I have written many poems, haiku(s), rhymes in the past. Some were solely to past time and others were done with passion. Despite the circumstances, every poem that I produced reflected how I felt at that moment, more or less. I thank all of you who enjoyed them and I hope that my poems were able to give a sparkle of joy, a smile to you. I will be creating a new blog, solely for poems and for those who know, verily knowledge is strength and strength lies in Iman.

The Gathering by Zulhilmi Ariff
The sight of the Sun shining brightly upon thee,
shines thine stars within thy pure chest. Moments
beget moments, so often forgotten in the midst of
hasty flight. Forgotten hast thee of the serene
Autumn?
Pureness of will, produce not a crime. Hark, I shall
enter the white doors in due time. I have thoroughly
announced this will of mine, through simple verses or
confabulate rhymes. Far shall the will pursue till
the Sun fades in hue.
Brethen of a common flock, share thine laughter with
simple company. For thee hast witness, the undoing of
man in the deepest seas. Proveth hast thou thy sincerity
of a common being, to be in one company of unworthy men.
Hasnt thou shown a faceless mask to a believing audience?
They cheer not the act, but the white falsehood of reality.
So small are their perceptions that they hear not the cries of
starving younglings. How can I compare thee to a winter's frost?
Yet a dream for all it was in plainful truth. Feelings that might
have felt, all to bear the rightful experience.
So bright is the night in a colony of youthful stars. Here
I stand gazing, at hopes soon to be fulfilled, laughter soon
to be induced and love soon to be shared. For now I pursue,
a living reality; I wish I and thou "God's speed!" Thus
I shall pursue whole-heartedly with holy tidings;
BismillahiRahmaniRahim.
Thank you all so much. :)
