Born Again
















BORN AGAIN

By: Faseeh Biabani

I open my eyes, much like the first time
Fragrance of roses, its strong like springtime
I am worthless, and rather infantileI'm in your hands, and you just smile
I savor the feeling, I savor the length
In which you help me, and raise me to strength
For I Have Been Born Once Again

Stepping into this new world,
Once before, yet now once more
My ship has sank and I'm washed ashore
Tossed and thrown, skin and bones, weak and white
I hear ur footsteps, and I'm blinded by your light

Through blurred vision, I'm adjusting my sight
For I Am Born Yet Once Again

Washed of sins, clean of crime
You lift my hand, and I know its time
To link myself with those of your kind
A new way of life, a new state of mind
For I Am Born Once Again

"Bless you".. to eternity
I need you, you don't need me
You come to me when I'm in need
You are spring rain, and I am a seed
I grow not, without your lead
For I Am Born Once Again

Hold my hand as I learn to tred
Alive again, when I once was dead
I live my life by the words you've said
Cried for you when you had bled
Grasp the tears, the tears you've shed
For I Am Born Yet Once Again

My friends, my crew
My company.. all are new
Following with me are just a fewYou tell me what and whatnot to do
As I am standing here, next to you
For I Am Born Once Again

You teach me, what I know not
The actions I'd done, and the thoughts I thought
I leave you not, its engraved in my heartFor I Am Born Once Again

I bow my head in shame in your presence
Indeed you are a king, and I am a peasant
I fall at ur feet and breathe in ur scent
But you lift my chin and smile at me
Tell me to repent, to pay no heed
'cuz He hasn't forgotten those few good deeds
For I Am Born Yet Once Again

I just cry when I cant cope
I start to smile as you restore hope
You cover me with your white thawb
I stop my shivers as you carry me close
Over your shoulders I see the Green Dome
And thats when I know that I'm coming home
For I Am Born Yet Once Again

You gesture for me to follow
And I move not less your command
I see myself fall but you still hold my hand
From doing evil, I am banned
For I Am Born Once Again

My nafs brings me close to the flame
Attracts me to join in on the game
You smack my hand and warn me of the pain
Now I see it and naturally refrain..
For I Am Born Yet Once Again

To myself, I hum this tone
Keeps me warm when I am cold
You have that effect, as I am told
I close my eyes and see you here
In my heart, I hold you dear
You have helped me excel amongst men
Look at me now, and look at me then
For I Have Been Born.. Yet Once Again

Well-o-well-o-well.. I am impressed. I like the way you expressed your thoughts, the way you choose your words and the way it turns out into this lovely poem.

Good job bud!

Btw, there's a couplet in the poem which makes me think that it's your experience. :-)

May He bless you!
