Petals of Rose and Lavender

The chalices are full and the ashtrays are empty

No need to ask about it, I rolled a few already

Pink dust from Venus scatters across the milky way galaxy

I told my brain - to stop remembering that fantasy

But the hearts eye wouldn’t shut

Lovers have these eyes in their hearts

Such chests are not made simply of mud

Such wings are not merely flesh and blood

They can see clearly, while others stare blind

Flying towards angels, hearts win over the mind

Soaring in the well of zamzam springs anew

This blood pumping pupil’s view

Here goes the Kaaba - walking around you

Evening gifts that extend beyond realms of wealth and money

These are baptized with the tears of Persian salt and honey

Before Eve and Adam, when the first flower sprout hurled

As many rose and lavender petals have existed in the world

When God said Kun Faya Kun and the universes unfurled

‘How is that possible?!’ you ask

‘you’ve been around for only a quarter century’

Why do you to take me to task

Imprisoning my soul within time’s penitentiary

How many days and how many nights have dreams arisen?

Of compassions essence served

Just how many times have I gotten lost in the vision?

Of your gentle hips curved

I have a feeling you intuitively know…

I gave it away in the 17th row

It’s from الله‎
