Gamson Jr Mawallil Quijano Poems

Burning The Qur'an
Is like stretching your bow
To the Crescent Moon
You'll hit it with trillions of arrows
...

I
O darkest night so hush, you are profound!
How blessed you are gifted with lots of inspiration
Ornamenting twinkling stars and shining moon
...

Full moon and glistening stars may be bestowed on me
But upon you mesmerizing sunset, sunrise, clouds so blue
Upon him cooling rain and vibrant rainbow
Hers may perhaps be precious pearls in the deep blue sea
...

You are like rain that Allah sends to gently bathe the land

Quenched, droughty soil as you fall upon them softens
...

With much trepidation,
I dread cats most especially kittens!
But my heart and thoughts are with them
In fact, to see them hurt or neglected
...

Astonishing people they are surely
With the sea, they play merrily!
For an extended period
underwater, they stay calmly
...

The Middle East's Sand
Fine, wee, untold, so beneath
Yet fly high with wind
Blankets sky, clouds, and buildings Invade human lungs and eyes!
...

In a cold, quiet room
My buddy is warm coffee
Clingy and noisy
...

Cocaine, shabu, XTC
Marijuana and rugby
Would travel you to heaven
Then overthrow you to hell
...

So soon, you'll be here
To reach you, I always pray
My mind, heart, and soul
Exhilarated!
...

Nostalgia engulfs my heart whenever I suddenly miss all those folks and loved-ones
who have long ago died before me.

Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun. ‎
...

Her hand raised a little when she saw me
In her wan lips, something she'd like to say
Oh, how sad, her condition impedes her from speaking!
But her eyesight and hearing are fine
...

So to ease heavy thoughts in my head
Restful sleep is all that I need
The moment I lay on my bed
I abhor dreams coz it only shallows my sleep
...

An old, frail, sad world
Yearning for PEACE, LOVE, and JOY
Tired of mis​er​ies!
...

15.

Sweet and caring words
Can no longer be heard, felt
By the dead loved ones
While alive, kicking
...

16.

Even the night is weeping
To lessen its excruciating pain
Cry it out until your woebegone
be gone
...

As I walk straight forward,
My head keeps turning back
To glance at my companions
who walk behind sluggishly
...

18.

No family is perfect
everyone has their defect
When there's a shortcoming
be more understanding
...

Frowning to unknown
Face smiling to renowned
Highly selective
...

Sweet rose, thorny stems
Lover's Endearment's emblem
My true love's simile
...

Gamson Jr Mawallil Quijano Quotes

"Had I been just in control of everything, I would surely do all the things that make my heart happy. But, there are things that are beyond my command and only Allaah has the sole control of it. Thus, I must leave it to Him and trust His wisdom in whatever His decisions are."

"When we create plans for our lives, we thought it's already the best for us. But, sometimes out of Allaah's mercy and wisdom, He replaces it with something that's truly best for us. He has always perfect plans for us. Let's surrender and submit everything to Him."

"Some people are only experts when denouncing negativity but don't know how to commend positivity."
