breach was necessary
to purge the unnecessary
clearing grey matter
as all matters matter
to bring us closer
to essential unity
the only matter

Questioning Lotalty
you prematurely
questioned her loyalty
forgetting she is a Hussaini
who knows not to love
but loyally
to whom
he confirmed
this quality
she’s baffled
she would rather be a nun
than a foolish one
who falls for mirage
after mirage
one after THE one
Hafiz Speaks
Opium of freedom
Hafiz speaks
I’m delirious of the gravity
of words in words
Feeling into his Kalaam
I am feeling into the caged bird
Of the soul
Desiring the same opium
I want these wings to set me free
To let me be
The bird desiring it’s very nature
The purpose of its existence
Soaring over a desert oasis
Lush green fields
Skimming snowy mountain peaks
Tasting the fresh snow fall
This bird continues
To dance in the winds of grace
Embracing the sun’s rays
Over oceans
Observing this beautiful reflection
She continues to fly
Until love commands
A halt
You’ve arrived
At your destiny
and there I found
an exact reflection of me
To Sway To Swere
sufism / Ihsan recognizes
the fallibility of humans
as this is our very nature
to err, to forget
to sway, to swerve
only to return
back to our centre
the core of our being
the qibla, our heart
layla
illa layla
spiritual excellence
is what
the Sufi aspires
not perfection
as only Hu is
perfect
the lover is a seeker
of beauty
beauty is sought in all
essence is beauty
form is beauty
why differentiate
where essence
is beautiful
form is seen as divine
making love eternal
Who is the Servant
are we servants of love
or is love the actual servant
of our servant hood
Best of Me
to work on myself
means to return back to myself
An ongoing effort
In the presence of love
you are love hence
I am guaranteed a return
Yet I desire to be my optimal
Me to a better degree
For her to see
The best of me
So I chose to work
On me
Love Whispered
Love whispered
into my soul
I am the Angel of life
I am the Angel of death
Wrecked by Love
at your arrival
you basically wrecked
everything and everyone
in my life
you
are not only a heart breaker
but a home breaker
how ironic
I still chose you
above all
The Introduction
The introduction to a beloved
through a beloved
is not the same
as through yourself
Simply Love
all you did was
simply love
your association
was enough
to bring forth
spontaneous healing
beyond time and space
as the associate is not
herself anyways
all you did was
simply love
