Sufism
Sufism (an esoteric knowledge)
A new man comes the Earth
By bright deific leaven
A new leaf blossoms out
At the top of highest heaven.
Following the way you've expired
Steps of penance, fear and hope
Approaching to God-admired.
The heart from wishes you release
In dance, devotion and the rite
With the aim to reach a bliss.
You penetrated into occult state
Inquired into codes and ciphers,
In the dream you saw a fate.
The wine will make the time delay
All your concerns it can sopite.
The red nectar runs you away
From the world to the insight.
You'll be clean without any spell,
Through the vigil, zuhd and fast
As th
Show this lover the tallest tower,
he would climb it in an instant,
Show this lover the mightiest mountains,
He would crush all to dust and scatter them,
Show this lover the freezing cold,
He could warm it all with his breath,
Show this lover the roaring thunders,
he would best it all with but a clap of his hands,
Show this lover the swift zephyr,
he would overtake it in but a step,
Show this lover a searing iron,
He could fashion it using his bare hands
Show this lover,
the oceans,
the seas,
he would drink it dry,
Yes, friends,
This Lover can do anything,
everything,
Except when this poor soul's love
said goodbye.
I have been enveloped in a whole new phenomenon,
I have been drained empty by this strange ritual,
Shrouded in this alien fashion,
This bizarre phenomenon taking wing inside me,
Like the feeling of seeing dawn's light shine,
where troubling nights laid just moments ago,
pray, take a moment, stay by me,
Please, listen as i try to tell,
of the forces that be, and within.
I feel as if i am cloaked in mists,
a fog has descended upon mine eyes,
Blinded and confused,
I have become a total stranger to myself,
and to my friends,
and suddenly,
i am surrounded by enemies,
Because of this haze,
I have forgotten my memories,
i have even

The drink of Lovelyness..
Love is like a drink,
I take one sip.. and i am intoxicated,
The aroma of a thousand roses in a thousand gardens
The finest of quality
We all yearn for more..sips turn to pure indulgence
Take perchance the lovers,look at them
they are drunk with their love
they love each to death,or even to eternity's end..
they have no choice,Not that they seek any others.
and here i stand
Drinking what may be,the sweetest of pleasures
the finest of vintages and the best of taste..
Love is poison,we take poison and we die..
but death is not the end,Just a mere beginning
Love,the poison that boils in our veins...hurts us..we feel overwhelme
It's all false!
It's all a dream!
It's all crazy!
It's all over!
It's all right!
Let's see what's next?
I sit down peacefully...
concentrate, meditate, slowly I elevate
As I chant a mantra from my memory...
I remember this mantra which elevates me slowly
Meditating---concentrating as I peacefully take a seat
Chanting and chanting trying to attain felicity
I stop because I have this problem surely...
To me it seems like
It's all false!
It's all a dream!
It's all crazy!
It's all over!
It's all right!
Let's see what's next?

Life is thundered into the dead and the dying,
whirling, dancing and laughing,
they know,
the winds blow and caresses the wanderer,
beckoning him home..
to his beloved's flower garden,
where deep nestled in a throne of thorns,
lays a rose,
Every Rose has it's thorn,
But, could it matter?
Reveling and dancing and whirling,
Cutting and slicing,
These, all of these,
Were but my fondest memories
Entwined in vines and hidden daggers,
Sweet splendor,
Blind
I cannot fathom,
Dare I trust myself and my senses?
Be still my heart,
I chose to forget the naysayer within me,
so i closed my eyes,

remove your worldly percepti
I searched for your face, my love,
It has been long, but at long last..
as i gaze upon you,
i am bewildered..
I bore testimony to your magnificence..
oh how i wish i could look on with a hundred eyes,
Those that mocked and scorned me yesterday..
are sorry and regretful they haven't looked like how i looked today..
This beating passion,
My endearing affection,
How i yearn this to be true,
a love... a love..
I am ashamed to call it human..
but i fear god to call it divine..
Your breath as fresh as a cool spring breeze..
like a wind in a dream in a dream..
I could await for eternity..
and listen.. to silence like that of the gar
Hark, listen..
like the silent whisper of the wind,
look! over there!
Alas! It is gone,
You are too late.
My word, do you feel it?
That warm sensation?
forgive me, i am wrong, there is nothing here.
there is no wind to greet me
or a sight to beseech me,
there is nothing here,
But the frost and sleet,
Alas, what destitute times these be,
a man is entitled to what he deems his,
with grabbing hands, alas doesn't he know?
the world is his!
Let him have it!
but he will not be happy,
I am cold! a furnace once said to me,
Let me bring you some coal,I offered
no! bring me matches! bring me my desires!
I do not want anything else
I saw my lord with the eye of my heart
I said, No doubt it is you! it is you!
You are the one who
encompassed "everywhere"
So that there is no "where", except you are there
"Where" has no "Where"
in regards to you
for "where"..
is to know where you are
Nor can imagination,imagine you
for imagination is to know who you are
Your knowledge encompasses and has encompassed everything
so that everything and everywhere i see is you
And in my annihilation,
is the annihilation of my annihilation
And in my annihilation,
I found you
