Phosphorescence1001

I am Najma Hush and this is my Poetry page Phosphorescence1001.  With an ability to glow and grow in the dark,  I am a Poet, a Photographer, a Daughter, a Sister, a Lover, a Friend and much much more .  Because Phosphorecence1001 is about being one in a million – and so the Poetry here on  Phosphorecence1001 is  just about being another fish in the sea…

            ************************

I write Poetry.  That’s what I do and I believe that it is what I was born to do – if only for the amusement of my Creator , who I believe has blessed me with this Gift.  And so without my prior consent, this Poetry doesn’t come from me, but rather, it flows through me.    Thus, the Poetry on Phosphorescence1001 has solely been written because it has been inspired by raw human emotions and it has been published here only to be shared with anyone in the world, who loves Art as a humanitarian expression of Purity and Love.

Phosphorescence1001 is about feelings that are unique – but only in the way that they have been expressed here, by their author, otherwise these feelings are universal.  Some of the Poems presented have been accompanied with images that I have photographically captured myself or ones that I have borrowed and credited inspiration from; especially classical paintings in Fine Art.  Phosphorescence1001 is part of an on-going project in association with my concept, ‘PhotoGiraffe Live’ to conduct ‘Poetography’ experiments, which I artistically wish to elaborate and develop on further in my career as a Poet and Photographer.

Phosphorescence1001 includes Poems written between 1999 to the present date.  More recent poems that I have written make allusions to public figures from Monotheist Scriptures, Classical Literature, Mythology, Legends, Folk Lore, and more.  All poems, borrowing inspiration from other Artists or legendary characters have been fully referenced, only so as to make it easier for those searching for the topics written about on this website -  but not to make it easier for the reader, because poetry requires patience and therefore authors must make their readers work.

I have been writing for pleasure and therapy since I was a child and furthermore I have dedicated my time to self study the work of some of the greatest Eastern Sufi poets and Masters of English Literature – particularly from the Romantic Period.  Please forgive me for not hinting any names, but having analysed various ancient works in other languages such as Persian, Urdu, Punjabi and Arabic; revising from original text and then relearning from translations and transliterations.  I have practised and worked very hard to master Poetry as a form of art and  I would like to share my Poetic World with you, which brings together both Eastern and Western philosophies to suit the hybrid flaws of our conventional age.

 These poems have been composed with a great consideration to verse. They consist of a measured meter, rhythm and rhyme, as Music has always been considered during their production.  Phosphotescence1001 has been carefully crafted out of love by every bit of honesty that I can afford to share on-line.   I hope that my work may be able to connect with people and make them think – I want to surprise you -  maybe even amaze you  – make you laugh & cry!   But above all, I   would like to create a  place for souls to come again and again to escape the hedonism of our crazed society and contemplate on a beauty that usually tends to get ignore -  but it resides within us all.
