Molotov

[Read the full poem below]

A black petroleum soaked rag

Sags from a bottle of corona

The aroma smells like an un inhaled breath

Mixed with ammonia

Over 700 years of bottled up black rage

Uncaged is so potent

A single fading spark of life

could ignite it in a moment

Black trauma written in white ink

On a white page cannot be read

Like black blood scrawled

Bound By Her Curls

I am lost in the curls of her hair

She smiles

Whilst each lock enwraps me

My eyes are chained

Bound by each ringlet as it falls

As her eyes brand my heart

With the kiss of her loving soul

The Kiss

I kissed the face of tribulation Laughing I said Stay if you wish to burn with me In this love It cried out and bloomed Into a fragrant rose Then ran into the arms of oblivion Like the twisting smoke Of fine incense Evaporating like tears Upon the sun baked earth

Khidr : The Archetypal Gnostic

“When Moses said to his boy, “I will not cease until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period.” [Qur’an 18:60]

Al-Khidr upon the fish between two oceans.

In chapter 18 of the Qur’an, Al Kahf (The Cave), we find the story of the archetypal gnostic. It would of course help at this point to define the terms gnosis and gnostic in the Qur’anic sense of the words, for…

Moses Take Off Your Sandles

“Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.” [Qur’an 20:12]

The story of the prophet Musa (Moses), is full of rich symbolism, allegory and metaphor, which if understood can guide us to the Divine Presence.

When we see very specific details mentioned in a story, especially if those details seemingly hold little significance to the overall…

Welcome Dear Friend

Poem: Welcome my old friend If you but knew I have missed you sorely

I have yearned for you Since you last departed Searching in your footsteps For blessings left therein

Come, let me sit with you My beloved comrade In my moment of need

Bring me the tiredness Of long nights spent conversing As I serve you with bowed head Until weakness grasps my limbs

Take my share of food I will trade you For the…

I am the secret held within the bud

The quenching of pure waters

I am the consuming of the flame

The deer of the untrod forest

I am birdsong of the coming dawn

& the dance of all creation

But who are you who made me open

Who made me thirst

Who set me ablaze

& who enraptured me

In this dance of love?

You are the secret

That causes words to prostrate

Hearts to open and lips to close

Poem:

I became a waterfall compelled by love

To constantly throw myself

From the cliffs of separation

Into annihilation within Your eyes

As The Virus Spreads

It has long been the tradition of Sufi poets to compose works as a form of social commentary. Calling people to reason and justice in the face of widespread social ills, and warning leaders against oppression, greed and the misuse of power. In this tradition I have composed the following poem, to call people back to reason, love and selfless care for one another in this time of fear, tribulation…
