S is for Salaam

Before I introduce my poems I want to let my new readers (and old ones if you forgot) Salaam means peace. A greeting Muslims exchange. Islam means peace and submission.

Here are some poems that may or may not be inspired by poetic asides and faith, and may or may not start with the letter S:

Kiss and Salaam

As a child I go to sleep
with a kiss from my parents
As a teen I go to sleep
with salaams from my parents

At both times
without that kiss or salaam
I can't sleep, I wait to get it

It's like having to say
I love you
before leaving a person
cuz you don't know
what's going to happen next.

Complex

Complex is something you make of something
when it doesn't need to be
don't think too much, just do it

Don't do it to making yourself blind with it
but do it with a deep love.

Islam

Islam on my mind
School out of sight but shouldn't be

Islam should be consuming,
in a way that it helps you
that is what Islam is about.
