Princess Maleiha's Poems

We are connected

2009-06-19T19:13:00.000-07:00

Do not run after my thoughts
For I shall be in yours
Not a moment
Shall I not be your witness
As a writer
I shall be in your world

Long before you
I saw some sufferings
Not a distant mile
Just a breath away from time
I was a witnessed
and I inked my pen..

My eyes witnessed faces
vary in color and shape
The soul hides in their dresses
The black is covered with red
As a writer
I inked my pen..

I have witnessed untold stories
that others choose to ignore..
As a writer
I exposed them..

A writer of the nights
A motivator of light
My words are small candles
to glow in the dark..

I am your witness
A writer of your life
Your constant companion
Though I am a stranger
Humanity is my subject
Life is my object..

We live connected
From a distance

For I am your....WITNESS..

Yes, I am a PRINCESS

2009-05-08T04:45:00.000-07:00

Yes, I am a princess

From the blood of Sultan Kudarat
A pure blood of my ancestry
Run in my veins
Leading me back
To where I belong..

Yes, I am a princess
But I am not above you
We stand on the same ground
Our hearts are made by God
I am not above anyone
For only God..Just God
with His Mighty Glory
Must tower above man..

Yes, I am a princess
With no servants
I use my own hands
To labor my own needs

My royalty is not conceit
Nor a position in fact
It is a link to my ancestor
To follow what they did good
Not to step on toes of men..
Must practice humility
And respect for everyone..

Yes, I am a princess
It was not given by man
I was born with the blood right
Therefore I must protect

I am just like you
Sensitive yet reaching out
That I will be accepted
I'm not wealthy nor famed
Just a simple lady
Just a princess to my family
But will always be a friend...

Your friend.

Butterfly...

2009-04-23T16:40:00.001-07:00

BUTTERFLY

Don't you fly
Your colors
Reflect in my eyes

Your wings
are my flight

I will be with you
When the tide is down
When the rain stops
When the sun smiles..

Kitty Cat

2009-04-12T00:55:00.001-07:00

Another feline
Another line
The usual description
The usual joy
But my cat is different
From my viewpoint
If that is so
Here is my point

Kitty cat was lost
Sometime last year
My daughter saw him
Hungry and cold
She hid him outside
Thinking I'd be mad
I didn't like pets
Reminds me of the past
I had one but lost
Avoiding pain again
To haunt me till the end

"Mommy, he is different"
Said my son one day
Try another pet
No reason to fret
Our new cat is cute
Let's call him kitty cat..

Who am I to say
No, my son you can't
I am a mother
Who wants to make his day
So there I go one day
Welcomed kitty and said,
"All right my son, you won"
Kitty cat shall be at home..

One day kitty cat got sick
He slept all day
Never stood up to eat
He had fever and infection
from a wound that needed medication
Antibiotic was the prescription

I took the dropper
Thought of making him better
Gave him medicine
To revive his condition
Thanks to God
He became well and fine
That was the day
I had to say
I shall never put kitty away

Bai Maleiha's True Love

2009-04-05T23:24:00.000-07:00

True love bonds
two souls as one...
Two spirits
breathe in harmony

True love grows
despite the distance..
A look that has no end
Always a beginning

True Love is a sweet glance
that warms your heart
when the night is cold
Not hindered by distance
Connected by faith

True Love is a candle
Shining constantly
in the dark..
The warm embrace
in a cold lonely night..

Jealousy
in a moment of passion
but anger fades
when True love prevails

True Love is a passion
shared by two..
moving to a world
away from everyone..

True Love is a sweet word spoken..
words not to be forgotten
Kisses locking two lips
Two breathing as one

True Love is a fire
No water can put off
Like the burning sun
engulfing the senses..
not only for a moment
but forever

True Love is finding myself
in the eyes of my beloved..
holding him safely in my arms
despite his absence..

True Love bridges
It unites thoughts and dreams..

If True Love finds
the right person
To possess the entirerity
of one's being..
Unmindful of thy flaws
yet loving despite thy wrongs..
True love intertwines
Vows to be locked by destiny..
Adopted by fate
Not even death can separate

The Train

2009-02-03T03:43:00.001-08:00

I let the train leave
Without him by my side
I could not just stand and watch
as time drifts by..
My journey is long..
I must leave before the storm..

Can you?

2009-01-24T04:38:00.001-08:00

Making the world a better place means putting selflessness forward. Such a hard sacrifice for many people but there is no other way to put it. Can you abandon the distorted cause of the majority if you know that you are on the right track?

Free..

2008-12-30T17:24:00.001-08:00

Free the soul from aches and pains..
Smile your way to 2009..
Welcome new beginnings
Close the pain..
Good luck to you my friend..

Twinkle 2009!

2008-12-30T17:20:00.001-08:00

Let the start twinkle

Let your smile shine..
Hey, it is 2009!
Time to move one..
Time to bond..
Sigh, breath deeply
But always be ready
God will open your door
So please worry no more..

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Birthing...

2008-12-25T16:34:00.001-08:00

Birthing is a gift. It is a gift for parents to mold a mind and a heart positively by teaching love and respect for every person's dignity, regardless of his color, race, beliefs, religion and gender.

Holiday Thoughts

2008-12-21T22:37:00.002-08:00

To all My X'tian friends:

This post will be different from the previous ones which sing in rythmic melody.

This is not poetic although your humble writer is a poet by nature. This post will aid you to look the other way, outside the malls where magnificent Christmas decors fascinate you and your loved ones. Let me take you to a world where poor people have nothing on their tables for Christmas.

A place where kids sleep with empty crumbling stomach , waiting for alms..alms. The fisher folk community are one of the most impoverished sectors. If they go home without a catch, their families will have no meals for the day. They live in shanties and have no Christmas trees.

I had a chance to witness their fate during my immersion program when I was in college. It was a short chance but it taught me to value the real essence of life unselfishly. I thought I know how poor families live but I realized that by experience, they are really suffering not only physically but morally.

I just wonder if you have many foods to spare, then maybe you can help people in your place in the same situation. If impoverished families live in your immediate community, those who truly have nothing no matter what they do, please spare them some alms..

You can also help by organizing those who share the same sentiment and collect donations for the poor. I know Santa will be happy to know that you also care for those in need.

Bridging Peace

2008-12-18T00:45:00.001-08:00

I come from afar
Always against war
I stand where I choose
At the bridge of peace..
Will you take my hand?

Inside Of Me..

2008-12-13T04:52:00.001-08:00

I Found A Special Niche
Somewhere inside of me
I spend much time
To Find answers
For All My Questions
On Love and Peace
On Humanity....
But I realized..
The answers are just inside of me...

God is Peace..

2008-12-06T15:16:00.001-08:00

The existence of life is a proof
that there is God above us
We call HIM different names
There is NO wrong Godly thought
For God is love and peace
Pursue Peace
Defend and have faith in it
Do not cause war
Do not terrorize nor kill
Then you have GOD in your heart

But if you use faith to kill
If you use faith to harm the innocents
Therefore you are Godless
Islam is not a militant faith
Islam is Peace hence we say Salam
But some groups distort Islam
Some leaders disgrace Islam
Some powers use Islam
To justify the killings of peaceful Muslims...

To all those who see Islam as war
To all those who see Muslims as terrorists
I stand before you to say
I am a Muslim who wants to live in peace
I am a Muslim not a terrorist
I have God in my heart
I hold PEACE with everyone
Everyone is a friend
Not unless you harm me...

IF injustice is done to me
and to the rest of my family
I will defend my rights
I will protect my loved ones
I have faith in God that He will shelter me..
For a peaceful Muslim like me
Wants only a just and a peaceful humanity..

I am a Muslim
I am not a militant woman
I am a mother of two
Who raises them with peace and love
in their Islamic hearts
for their fellowmen...

Open Arms...

2008-11-27T18:41:00.001-08:00

We need to welcome friends from all walks of life.
Life is meant to be shared with people who are lovers of peace and
social justice. :)

No to War!

2008-11-24T18:45:00.001-08:00

This ugly image of war
leaves ghastly thoughts..
Shattered dreams of the past
Shakes the unknown future
War is nothing but a fire
Consuming peace and silent souls
God 's rain shall intervene
To cool down hatred's campaign.

Mother..

2008-11-15T19:36:00.001-08:00

"A mother is the truest friend we have,

when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us;
when i"A mother is the truest friend we have,
when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us;
when adversity takes the place of prosperity;
when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine,
desert us when troubles thicken around us,
still will she cling to us,
and endeavor by her kind precepts and
counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness,
and cause peace to return to our hearts."
- Washington Irving

Wish Land..

A unicorn and butterflies....
Only in wonderland..
I am not Alice, I am Bai...
So I am in my real world...
But sometimes I see this vision too..
Living in a fairy's world..
But reality is a breathe away...
Illusion is just a fantasy...

Parent's Love..

2008-07-21T20:11:00.001-07:00

Love is a beautiful experience..

An experience that is fleeting
But there is one love that I know
stays forever and unending..
It is the love of a parent for her child..
Unquestioning but giving...
Believing and unyielding..

Butterfly Wings..

2008-07-19T19:20:00.001-07:00

I am your ANGEL, my friend..
Your angel with butterfly wings..
I will blow my kisses to the wind..
To comfort you during your sadness...
