Good Night Gorgeous

Greetings gorgeous, What do these night stars have in store for us,  as their travelling light pours upon us,  and sadly very few skins are porous to the ink of their light, very few nostrils can inhale their blossoming brightness,  to smell the phenomenal fragrance of the kneeling night, very few souls carry lanterns like her sparkling sky,  in order to return the greeting of her travelling light,  very few hearts, beat between the layers of light upon light,  very few thoughts can be carved by the Mastery of The Throne,  for egos refuse to die in order to be reborn, they instead ingest forgetfulness and yet some how claim to be born again, or primary walkers upon a known path, light years away from The Son Of Man's saying: The Kingdom of the Rabb is within.... So join the colourful chorus,  of velvet voices,  whose inner essence is perfumed with praises, that raises their status, light years past ephemeral spaces,  and centuries past the scent of speeding seconds, to drink the nectar from Realities from which all else rose,   the poetry of all prose, for those binded to their blindness remain with only themselves to blame and darkness to gain, as for the seekers of The Real who give life to their flame, what they love is what they attain and their germinating gratefulness gives a full harvest of a golden gain....for us  the over flowing glow of Barhama certainly suffices, a precious provision, that enables  the lovers of the one beloved to Love, to hold onto a Radiant Rope,the Hidden Seal's perfected perception that is fixated to the luminous laudation of The Master of Creation.... so as the night pours our light soars

My Scars Seep

My scars seep
I'm standing knee deep
In the remnants that drip
From thoughts about I's
I thought I'd forever keep
I'm bleeding beats
Bitten by beauty's beast
Fattened by fantasies for a fair feast
Regretfully roasting over these flames that breathe
Pain into the flesh of my sleep

My scars seep
My Mind muted by memories
That even time can not keep
Soul silenced by the sound of a lesson
That reason could not leap

And even after it all
The skies will speak:
The lie of love is ocean deep

But in the hand of Hope
Is a golden grip
Upon Truth's thundering Trumpet
A declaration from love's lips:
That love is the light of every light
The song to every sight
The bringer of ease in every plight
The ravishing rose whose red
is perfectly right
The palace of praise whose praises my pen pours to perfume the night
with Love light

I leave you with your love
For how could I seek you
If I am a lantern of love
Why would I nibble on need
If it is indeed
Love that empties me
If it is indeed
That love fills me
For love loves me.....
I Feel love flowering
Love
Around me
Love
Above me
Love
Before me
Love
Beyond me
Love
With in Me

WE LOVE HIM

We love 

beyond our senses

Not because we have no control

over our senses

but because we know with certainty

that it is precisely because of him

that we all are

We love 

we love him dearly 

Not only because

we are commanded to do so 

but because loving him is 

in reality the source of all love

The soul of all things created

We love him

we love him immensely 

not out of misery and 

loneliness in our hearts

but because our hearts 

have been carved out

from the Creator's love for him

We love him 

we love him intensely 

not because we have been 

overcome by madness

but because it is madness 

not to love him with all intensity

Our love for him 

is far from blasphemy

it is the distance between 

faith and hypocrisy

we are only beggars at his door 

because he is the only door to Allah

Allah is The Bestower but he is the distributor and nothing 

reaches all creation from Allah

except that it reaches his hand first

For he is the first slave

Whom The Master made master 

of all things created

Placed beside him 

the sky has no height

the sun no light

the ocean is void of vastness

the earth no expanse

time no measurement

and space no kingdom 

Only through him is 

The Artisians Skill shown

It is by him that The Unkown becomes known and unknown again

He is the furthest depth of all mysteries

the scent that sheds light on all subtelties

His physical body  

proceeded past the point 

where Gabriel's angelic anatomy  

would turn to ashes

he is the perfection that all existence mirrors

The wonder of all wonders

his station is a statement from 

The Originator 

not given to him 

by our love for him

but by Love out of love for itself

We love him more 

than we love ourselves

this love will suffice us 

throughout the worlds

for no love is true 

unless carried in a heart 

that loves him

because that heart without love for him is foreign to love itself

May The Creator's love and peace

descend upon the source 

of all love and all peace

our love and our peace

the light that illumined

every excellence that 

The Excellent exudes

That the perfected perception recieves

The ocean whose waters  water

blossoms that bloom

to give light to the moon

from the depth of the first dawn 

to the last dream of doom

By Your slave's scent

grant us ascent

by the magnums means

grant us a piercing proximity

by Love's lantern

grant us The Gold of 

Your Glorious Glow

Indeed it is sown

Indeed it is so

MY BELOVED

In what language have you not been praised in?

For in every millionth movement of this moment

Every continent contemplates

about the light that radiates from your face

Your greatness is a tale that time cannot translate

Your noble character is a jewel for which space could not find a place

And though space spread

And Time talked

neither could attain the full expression

of your perfection

Souls struck

by your benevolence pour out layers of love

Placing abstract dimensions in humanity’s palm

Proving that poetry was created

Precisely for your praise

And that all forms of praise to you

Are poetry inked in infinity

An action by the Absolute

And His angels

A personal invitation to the faithful

From The Supreme

What fault do you find in the lover’s adoration?

Let it be yours

Let me be!

For love is the language created to praise my beloved

Love is the explosive expression from my heart to Muhammad

Love's sacred salutations are upon him

LOVE LETTER

Love Stories tickled our ears over ages

Poems of love have poured from hearts that have been under love's spell

Love's marvels are said to be too magnificent to tell

Love 

For you hath humankind poured palaces

Whose walls and floors 

are a cement of wars, ink, myths 

and marble made from paper, legends 

and poetry perfumed by pearly prose poured by Persian Poets

For you hath nations beaded patterns of volcanic emotions,

Many souls have sought you in the chemistry of  magical potions

Many hearts have consulted the stars the wise and the deluded

and so many hearts remain awake in the sleep of love in hope to dwell

forever more in your gardens that flower with fantasies most supreme

many souls remain in the imagination of love

imprisoned in the melody of the passionate flames 

of a fire that promises pleasure

But you remain hidden from the eye beguiled
by the garden or the fire in places higher

preserved for those who understand the harmony that harps havoc in their hearts  

The scent that sent their souls on a soul journ

So many have spoken of and yet so few have seen and even fewer tasted

leaving those that tasted wasted in wander

And so I ask
In the alphabet of time and all the letters written by humankind whose pen has unearthed your secret and the secret of your secret?

Love my desire
Though dozens upon dozens are drawn to your dancing flame  and others  disappear in the motion of your melting melody...you remain my desire

Love my desire
Though many faces are light with delight from the delicacies of your garden gorgeously laid with bewildering beauty...you remain my only desire

Love, leave not my side
least insanity eat me alive

Love, leave not my soul
Least my breathing becomes lifeless

Love leave not my mind

For if my thoughts become 

void of your thunder

My universe is split asunder

Every Moment an immortal torture

That would leave me mind less

Love forget me not

For you are my only Alphabet
And you are my only letter

POETRY'S PILGRIM

Poetry's Pilgrim

Her soul branches
like pillars carrying the sky
her journey is greater than 
the bark of the great baobab
Pen and ink are her only provisions
With every tear that falls
A line of ink evaporates
as she remembers
she forgets

The beloved is dear
The abstract is near
Her canvas is clear
There is no thunder
pouring in hear ear
The end is here.

The pilgrim once plowed
The poet once penned
The world was once loud
The universe once weighed an ounce.
