Windstorm

You came into my life a windstorm of confusion and a soul that can only be described as “frustrated”

Your smile was an entertaining sight, and the view of your happiness was an enlightening dream

Unknown to your power at first, I would say it was respect that brought me to you

Respect that keeps you in the light to my years of darkened view

Through the windows of life, a clear understanding of the word “friendship” was developed

My constant sarcasm and my closed heart were still characteristics that wouldn’t turn you away

I never tell you that a true friend has been you, no matter that shortened time of our encounter

You point out my faults, my awkward persona and the fact that I can never do anything right

While you seem like the perfect person to makes me try to obtain that level of respect

That you seem to constantly attract

Perfection, not in the sense of being inhumane, but the variety that is obtained through years of experience

Even if I may surpass that number

Years are counted through the scars of yesterdays and the healing of tomorrow

I never in my life thought I would consider someone not my sister, but to be blood deeper than any DNA source crawling in any human body

This poem is deeper than a friendship poem, because those poems are as deep as the edges of the sea

Law men of beauty, arrest us.

My light who has shined my armour
and trained me for the missions that I will undertake in this world
and for that I thank you.
for you have stained and exposed me to a world that
judges me not by the substance of my words
or the knowledge that I sustain but rather
how much flesh I am willing to reveal
in order to be called beautiful.


Con men of imagery
Who Hijacked innocent thoughts and turned them
into self-inflicting wounds. Please, tell me what is your definition of beauty?

Another young one taken.

Olisadike Okoye and another boy were playing near the icy edge of the Rideau River when Okoye slipped and fell in at about 2 p.m.

A person walking by with their dog called 9-1-1, said fire service spokesman Marc Messier.

Emergency crews rushed to the scene and a firefighter spotted Okoye floating 800 metres downstream near Strathcona Park. The firefighter waded into the water and brought Okoye to shore, said Messier.

He had no vital signs.

This story personally hits me because Olisadike was one of the children that I had the pleasure of working with in the summer of 2010. Olie was the type of child who would do anything as long as if it had to deal with having fun or going outdoors. He was a sweet child and honestly, is someone who I would never forget about. He loved all sports and was a kind and smart child. It breaks my heart to see someone so young and so smart and someone that I just saw not to long ago pass away. He didn't even get to live his life. It's sad, but its Gods plan.

The family is having a hard time to raise the money for a proper burial for Olisadike. I am personally going to do everything in my power to raise as much money as I can for Olies burial, but help is always wanted and needed and cherished and rewarded by Allah, Insha'allah please brothers and sisters just do your best to help out with the fundraising for Ollies burial

To the individual that I met this year, its truly a blessing. Well, everyone that I meet is a blessing but, this year it's different I met people whom I can be friends for life with and people that I could have a deeper relationship with. I'm blessed and happy that I now have you guys in my life.

Accept the things

To which fate binds you and
Love the people with whom fate

Brings you together

But do so with all your heart.

Love.

I think I'm in love,

I was walking and he basically hit me. Words couldn't explain the feeling that I had when he graced me with his beauty. He makes me weak in the knees. Makes my heart feel like it's about to explode. I have yet to see something so beautiful and so magnificent.

He is my calling. My goal in life. He is what I hope will be a fruitful and satisfying ambition.

I desire to help those who have passion, but lack the resources to hunt for it. I will, by the grace of Allah, assist those who have never had the opportunity to apply their passions or desires in life and give them a stage to display it while loving what they do and finding who they truly are, a creative and an enthusiastic individual. I know this might be a difficult task but with Allah in mind and a heart of a fighter, I could do this.
I will do this.
Insha'Allah.


I'm in love with you passion, I think I'm going to call you Rasheed. Yeah, I love you Rasheed.

The Tao of Pooh.

"On monday, when the sun is hot I wonder to myself allot:
"Now is it true, or is it not
That what is which and which is what?"

On tuesday, when it hails and snows,
The feeling on me grows and grows
That hardly anybody knows,
If those are these or these are those.

On wednesday, when the sky is blue,
And I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it's true
That who is what and what is who.

On thursday, when it starts to freeze,
And hoar-frost twinkles on the trees,
How very readily one sees
That these are whose-but whose are these?"

Manifesting epiphany

There is always going to be that one person in your life that just want to be around you just because the fact that you are you. Dealing with people who always take and take and never want to give is so draining because you come to the realization that you have to make sure that they are satisfied with their lives and by doing this it never leaves anytime for you.

I came to this conclusion today when my two dear friends help me realize that I haven't asked myself  "Asha what do you want? What do you need? Are you happy?"  I would always give and give and never have the time to make sure I was okay. And the upsetting part of it all was that these individuals who would always want something out of me were no where to be found when I needed them. It was a good conversation that I never thought that I would need but thank goodness for those two individuals, if it wasn't for them I probably still be thinking its okay to put my needs and wants and aspirations aside.

I hope this doesn't come off as me being a person who doesn't want anything to do with anyone, that is not the case at all, I would jump through hoops for my family and dear friends. But no one should feel the need to put others before themselves all the time. I understand if its once in a while, but always? It drains you out. My friend said," you have an energy in you that you can give people, but when you give that piece of energy away, its suppose to be filled back and when its not replaced, your dying inside." It might not be the deepest quote of all, but its a quote that helped me come to this new view of things. He helped me realize that, yeah, Its okay to help others in need, but when your needs or wants are put aside at all times its not a healthy way of living.


To these two amazing friends, I want to thank you with all my heart. You two truly bring the happiness out of me and I'm truly honored and blessed to have you guys in my life.

And so It begins..

I honestly never thought I would be doing one of these blogs things, but a friend said to try it and so here I am. I actually use to make fun of the people who write these blogs. I always that the people who did these blogs where just people who were famine for attention. But I'm actually finding this interesting. And so I begin to tell you about myself.

I, Asha Kayd, am a daughter who has nothing but the lessons to learn from her parents, a sister who always has the best intentions for her siblings, even if it means that I have to hurt some people. I am a writer, whose words run out of ink. Islam, I live by its teachings, and work for its acceptance. For I am nothing without its blessing. A student. A lover. I love to bake.

Judge me by the substance of my words, the deen that I follow,the family that I love and the knowledge I hunger for, everything else is secondary. 

My one true love is happiness.
