VERY OLD FRIENDS

"your heart and my heart are very very old friends"

~ Rumi 

2 WINGS TO FLY

“God
 turns you 
from one feeling 
to another 
and teaches 
by means of opposites, 
so that you 
will have two wings
to fly,
not one.”

~ Rumi ~

MEDICINE

Through love
   all pain
 will turn
  to medicine

 ~ Rumi ~

THE PATH

' even though the path is never ending
Taking a step forward and Keep Walking,
Do not look with fear in the distance...
In this way let the heart be your guide
Because your body is hesitant and is full of fear '.

~ Rumi ~

LOVED AND PROTECTED HER

He loved
and protected her
but not
in the enclosing,
suffocating way

not like the wall
which keeps a flower
in its persistent shadow
for the flower
will wilt,
but like the wall
on which
a vine
finds support
and slowly rises
never held back
until it
grows
and spreads
into every inch
every corner

PAPER BOAT

Hold still
My tiny paper boat
As I place within you
A dream
And hope
The wind will set you free
And take you along the stream
And if you touch the horizon
And meet with the sun
Tell him what you hold on to
And where from
You come

TEARS

"There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love."


~Rūmī    

WALK ON THE GROUND YOU STEP ON

I want to be where your bare foot walks, 

because maybe before you step, 

you'll look at the ground. 

I want that blessing.

Rumi 

Never lose hope,

my dear heart,

miracles dwell in the invisible

~ Rumi ~

LET GO THE SORROW

Let The Sorrow Go To The Sorrow,
The Joy To The Joy,

Let The Mud Go To The Mud,
And The Heart

Rise To Heaven.

~ Rumi   

LIFT THE CURTAINS

To let
 the light
in
one must remember
to lift
the curtains
from their soul  

     

RELIGION OF LOVE

I profess the religion of Love,

Love is my religion and my faith.

My mother is Love. 

My father is Love.

My prophet is Love. 

My God is Love.

I am a child of Love.

I have come only to speak of Love.

 ~ Rumi 

FROM OUR HEART

Only from the heart can you touch the sky.

 ~ Rumi 

MORNING LIGHT

She woke up with a crestfallen heart on a dull, lonesome soul.
Surrounded by the fake warmth of feather-feed pillows.

But just as she opened her window, she was awestruck by wonder
as she watched the sun let loose a billion spectrum in her hair and saw
the dew-washed morning unfold before her longing eyes,
like a story.

and she thought....
maybe today will be a good day after all


  

LIGHT THE PATH

When your soul is looking for you, 

light a candle on its path.

 ~ Rumi  — 

TENDER WORDS

"Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world."

~ Rumi 

LIKE FLOWER

A woman is like a flower, to make her bloom you must shower her with tenderness and love.
For passion to grow she will need to open the windows of her heart and mind.
As a husband it is important to get to know your wife's essence, her spirit.


Wallahu'alam.

OCEAN DEEP

Your heart is the size of an ocean. 

Go find yourself
in its hidden depths.

~ Rumi  

GREATEST STRENGTH

Our greatest strength 

lies in the gentleness and tenderness 

of our heart.

~ Rumi 

HOMESICK

She was homesick for places

she was yet to visit

and for people who

were yet to come   

MISS BROKEN PIECES & MR. UNIQUE

Her broken pieces lay scattered across the floor.
He slowly lifted one.

The sharp edges stung him, cutting into his skin and making him bleed, but.... he hid the hurt somewhere behind his smile and continued to pick the others up.

She watched him in disbelief, wary with distrust, did not understand why someone was making the effort to put her together, when nobody had ever done so before.

People came, tried to pick up a shattered portion but withdrew as soon as it pinched them.

Then why was he still here? His hands were now a shade red, covered in cuts and bruises, a reflection of her heart.

Slowly, carefully, he help rebuild her, yet she was not herself anymore, for each piece had been marked with his fingerprints and smeared with his blood.

The black of her sorrows was fading away, yet she was now coloured in a sweeter pain.



* in half awake, she wonder about him being like that, She felt blessed and grateful.  

TWO WORLD

The two worlds are joyous because of you.

Don’t stay in this world without me.

Don’t go to the next world without me. 

~Rumi 

BLAZING SPIRIT

"There is a Fire blazing inside of me.

If I cry about it,
or if I don't,

the fire is at work,
night and day!" 

~ Rumi

THE JEWEL

Stop searching 

here and there

the jewels

are inside you!

~Rumi 

HIS SMILE IS A PRISM

His smile is
a prism
which sometimes
broke her cold
mornings 
into a billion rainbows 

Is she still dreaming? 

LOve every moment we shared <3 :)

BE KIND AND HONEST

Be kind and honest, and harmful poisons
will turn sweet inside you.

 ~ Rumi  

UNLIMITED LOVE

"A House of Love
with
No Limits,"

~ Rumi <3 :)

GOOD COMPANION

Fortunate

is he 

who does not carry envy 

as a companion. 

~ Rumi <3 :)

COMFORT OF MY SOUL

You are the comfort of my Soul

in the season of sorrow.
You are the wealth of my spirit
in the heartbreak of loss.

~ Rumi   

EVERY STEP WE WALK

"Every step of the way

I will walk with you

and never leave you stranded."

~ Rumi <3 

FLY

My head is bursting

with the joy of the unknown.

My heart is expanding a thousand fold.

Every cell,

taking wings,

flies about the world.

All seek separately

the many faces of my love.

  ~ Rumi

LOVE SAID TO ME

Last night
I lost my grip on reality
and welcomed insanity.

Love
saw me and said,
"I showed up.
Wipe your tears
and be silent."

I said, "O Love
I am frightened,
but it’s not you.
Love said to me,
there is nothing that is not me.
be silent.

From "Love Said To Me" by Rumi

SILENCE

You Have Spent Your Whole Life With Elegant Speeches.

For Sometime You Should Walk Alone In The Gardens Of Silence.


~Rumi <3 

TAKE ME HOME

“I didn't come here of my own accord and I can't leave that way.

Whoever brought me here will have to take me Home.”


~ Rumi

WINDOW OF LOVE

"There is some kiss we want with our whole lives,
the touch of Spirit on the body.

Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell.
And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild Darling!

At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine. Breathe into me.

Close the language-door, and open the love-window
The moon won't use the door, only the window.

~ Mevlana Rumi (1207 - 1273) ~

SMILE

Sometimes
when I am compelled
to wonder
about the vastness
of the universe,
It scares me a little
how pointless
my existence is
how useless
my worries are
how ineffective
my actions become
in view of
the bigger picture

and yet
when you smile
why does it feel
like I have found
my purpose?

MORNING BLOOM

MORNING BLOOM

She woke up to

a blue morning

feeling daze

and lost

of love warmth

as though her heart

itself

sear

had been touched

by frost

she searched for the sun

for sliver

of a golden light

HE is there

appeared

pearch at the door

and slide in

with His grace

and love warmth

cherished

she is and blessed again

DAWN WITH LOVE

I stirred to a dawn
smudged with the hues
of the sacred love
how He woke me up
by the tenderness
of His Mighty Love
and affection

Am I really awake?
or still in a sleep
away alone
in a thought
in His grace
shouldn't I be grateful?
Yes, I am touched

DO NOT GRIEVE

Do not Grieve.
Anything You Lose Comes Round In Another Form
~ Rumi ~

HAPPINESS IS NOT A STATION

Happiness is not a station where we arrived, but a way to travel.

Kebahagiaan bukan stesen di mana kami tiba, tetapi satu cara untuk perjalanan.

Semoga perjalanan kita tiba akhirnya di syurga-Nya tempat kebahaagiaan yang kekal abadi.

Aamiin...

LOVE BEYOND BOUNDRIES

LOVE is beyond body, mind, heart, and soul. 

A Lover simply is LOVE. 

~ Rumi  ~

FOCUS ON FUTURE

What we are facing right now is already occupied most of our attention...
So, please do NOT bring out or drag the past to the present moment.
Just focus for the future

It may hurt you more than it will hurt me. I understood it because I was also young and full of enthusiasm like that
May Allah pours His calm and patient to your soul
I am always here waiting for you
searching yourself for a strength that you are looking for.


Alhamdulillah... every single moment is so important, that we may not want to ignore... for Allah is always be with the person who strive to be better and stronger Muslim. insyaAllah.

WE LOOK AT WHAT WE CHOSEN

If you look for
reasons to be a
unhappy
you will find them,

If you look for
reasons to be
happy
you'll find them too.

FIND YOURSELF

Go find yourself first

So you can also find me .

~ Rumi  

REDUCE PUFFINESS

One of the tricks we may try is
when we make tea use filtered water and a chamomile tea bag, then pour into an ice cube tray and freeze. The next morning, grab two of the cubes and gently massage your face, starting around the eye area (where the bags are), then smoothing over cheekbone, chin, and forehead. The cold factor combined with the flavonoids in the tea will help with any swelling or inflammation, leaving your skin looking tight and feeling nourished.

"I will soothe you and will heal you, 

I too have been covered in thorns." 

~ Rumi <3 ~

SECRETS

If you reveal your secrets to the wind.
You should not blame the wind for
revealing them to the trees.

~Khalil Gibran ~

I AM A ROSE PETAL

I have become a rose petal

you are like wind for me 

take me for a ride.

~Rumi ~

FLYING WITHOUT WINGS

"Let the fire of your love

burn my sorrow

and purify my soul 

so I can fly without wings."

~ Rumi

LISTEN

“There is a Voice that Doesn’t Use Words. Listen.”

TRAVELLER

I came to this Earth
So that I can find
the way back to my Beloved.

MIRROR

I am a mirror

Not a debater.
