breath is the spirit speaking
breath allures the soul
more than anything else
so follow it
like a lover
till nothing remains but breath
breath is the spirit speaking

like a lover
till nothing remains but breath
This quest for monotheism
lead me to worship love
seeing love in all forms
I became a polytheist
in every prostration
love appeared
who granted you entry
into this chamber
I am the idol of your heart
worship me
as I am reality
appearing through forms
I’ve come through a veil
her name is Dost
this remembrance inwards
loosing voice to silence
if you desire to listen
hear me in breath
you remind of paradise
on earth
you remind me of paradise
the algorithm
etched heart
inspiration is unbound
to obligation
authenticity makes one careless
I am consistent
in my inconsistency
to remove myself
from the false notion
of time and urgency
without authenticity
to speak or write
is pure falsity
On the day of ascension
I was brought to a sanctuary
the land of SakinaTabut
your appeared on my heartscape
so I uttered your name
summoning your soul
the dome, olive trees , stones
travelers and seekers of ascension
all bore witness
to this heart’s testimony
every name that embodied Sakina
was called upon
one by one
in a land sanctified
all bore witness
to this heart’s testimony
every name that
embodied
Sakina
was called upon
one by one
my voice reached you
beyond land and ocean
you knocked
I responded
finally you arrived
If you can hear me in the silence of my silence, then I commend you for listening deeply.
She became mute
questioning love’s cruelty
who tied her in chains
as a prisoner of love
love caused the love
love caused the pain
love selfishly relished
to watch her heart bleed
desiring her to herself
the prisoner pleaded
saying all is but you
in all I saw you
so why this jealousy
love mocked her
saying I want you
all to myself
it gives me pleasure
to watch your heart tend
to victims I send
causing two hearts
to separate and break
as I partake
for Laila’s sake
how cruel she replied
but why oh why
love replied
your heart is my prey
I am the predator
why would I share a pure
heart so sweet
with anyone else but myself
The Final Act of Jealousy
orchestrated by you
who taught her to love
unconditionally
conspired by you
barring love
as though forbidden
directed by you
scandalizing love
in your scripted satire
assuming the midas touch
her heart; liquid gold
melted by love’s many glances
she questions your jealousy
to possess her solely
she pleads innocent
absent of witness
save her heart
petitioning judge and jury
every love was you
every guise you
cleverly masked
to beguile her being
her crime
falling in love
with love
with every glance
that befell her heart
a guilty verdict
decreed by you
crushing her existence
a recipe for subsistence
fana to baqa
a theatrical tragedy
devised by you
the Last Act of Jealousy
a life sentence
to solitary confinement
as prisoner of love
we are a living revelation
the past pointless
in our oneness now
every version of you
exposes you
states of consciousness
ever changing
varying forms
detach
as you evolve
and witness you
pay attention
to these reflections
as they appear
and vanish
