It's 2012!

Assalamu Alaikum sisters!

It's the first day of 2012. Before I get to it, I'd like to say I didn't post about looking over 2011 cuz what I wrote was too personal. Way more than my poems. I know, shock. 2011 has been a year of bad changes in me, and towards the end is the only time I realized why.

So may 2012 bring much more light to me and you. My moment as the years changed was clasped hands, in hope. Alhamdulillah!

New Year

It's New Years Eve
hours tick by
it's New Years!

As the minute changes
my hands clasp in hope
for so much...

but the most of all, through both days
I tell myself
I won't shed any tears...

not for all the bad that's happened
not for the good I'm leave
not for that fact of change
not for anything.

All I'm doing is hoping
telling myself

I won't shed any tears, today.

Love,

Fida

i know we're over a fortnight into the new year but Fida, my lovely, the realisation at the end of your year, in my opinion, is the beauty. I really do hope this change will bring out an even stronger, even more beautiful Fida, if that's even possible <3. Much love and I find that there can be a lot of time between the times I read something of yours or hear from you, but when we 'speak' again, we're just like old friends. InshaAllah meet you in this life and the hereafter. <3 (:

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
