Broken desire
He harnessed his desire
The desire was
Smashed to bits
Crystal fragments
were seen in his eyes
He absorbed in thoughts
hope it’s wise
God knows!
Like a nestling
He took his heart –
Which is upset
over the world’s turmoil –
in his arms.
This God’s slave
Is sailing in the wilderness
of silence like a ship
and injured soul.
Oh, plenty of sunshine
Heats up his feet
Like a burning coal.
There is still a long way
Till Sacred Destination
But the nestling in the hand
sans wings and aspiration.
###
Comprehension
I suffocate in
A dark trench
It’s stuffy
I shake all over.
A dagger
In my hand.
My soul is heading
To the skies.
It breaks its wings
Unable to get rid
Of the night’s cage.
Is it not a good
Time yet to fly?
I need to manage
To fly myself!
###
Buoyancy
Like the sun
That completely wiped off
The footsteps of darkness
No room for grief
remained in my world
Upon your arrival.
Glory be to God!
Being in deep thought
Achieving salvation
Pining over you
Is extreme elation.
