Mahfooz Ali Poems

I felt a demon leave tonight
I spoke the name of God
the demon had me terrified
until I looked and saw the light
...

Many lessons have come along late in life for me.
For instance, as obvious, as it seems,
I have begun to realize that my lack of self-esteem
has kept me from sharing my abilities and insights.
...

Stress and concerns disappear for me
when I have faith that the highest power
which determines the universe,
call that what we as, Allah,
...

As I come into the world,
step by step my journey begins
Everything looks so big,
so large, so superior
...

I am falling,
engulfed in,
an endless darkness.
Someone catch me
...

When someone smiles,
someone cries,
When someone laughs,
someone sighs,
...

Limitless is the horizon.
always there,
right in front of me:
Oh! ! ! ! ! ! ! How I long to see?
...

Mirror image?
Orimagery?

The one in white
...

Take me to a world where crocodiles fly
and dinosaurs prowl
Take me to a world where good always pervades
Take me to a place where I forget all my troubles
...

Sitting on a stone near a field of grass,
With nothing to do but let the time pass.
...
