The Safety of Idolatry

By -

 


There's nothing left that I can say
Nothing written can ever change
It's easier to run away
It's easier to curse than pray

I can never be all that you want from me
And I am broken, I will fail you constantly
Shall I return to the worship of the Onliness of Thee?
Or remain in the safety of idolatry?

I wish to lay my doubts aside
As faith has left me nowhere to hide
You're the One for whom I wish to recite
I'm the one my fellow Pakistanis despise

I can never be all that you want from me
And I am broken, I will fail you constantly
Shall I return to the worship of the Onliness of Thee?
Or remain in the safety of idolatry?

Maze of Uncertainty

Whispering in small, invisible voices Strange and mysterious Opportunities pass me by Like the scintillating snowflakes falling from the sky That melt when they touch the skin Leaving the sensation of regret and of guilt As a chilly, deathly wind blows These snowflakes fall into the soiled snow Piled high, covering the entire street This graveyard of opportunities Ignored and unseen. Upon this snow, stands a snowman With a furry coat, a colourful hat And a big, comical smile on his face For a moment, light reflects off his surface Sunlight,as it manages to briefly escape the clouds All around, A dazzling yellow glow For me it my be a symbol of hope Yet for the snowman it spells his death. But still he got his chance in the end To have lived, to be content and happy Unlike me And unlike the homeless man that shivers on the bench Whose only protection is a tattered blanket. The snowflakes fall down like his invisible tears His face contorted, teeth clenched, in...

The Lust Has Gone Will it ever feel the same? My body is forlorn We should have played it safe Wake up beside you to see you naked And my heart is throbbing in your hands No one else could imagine the love we make You’re the only woman who understands But as I orgasm I come to the realization That you’re forever gone And I can’t go on The Lust Has Gone Will it ever feel the same? My body is forlorn We should have played it safe Why did you have to deceive me? Did you forget all those lovemaking nights? The things you did to please me Your sultry lips, your leather tights But after the sensation You come to the realization That you were fantasizing about someone else While we were having sex The Lust Has Gone Will it ever feel the same? My body is forlorn We should have played it safe No man or woman could ever come between us I’m no boytoy and you’re not a whore So let’s get back to our sensual sex Please come walking back through that door.

Redder than any Rose

Oh, how you let a man yearn Cause his heart to burn Without even trying Oh, how you tempt a man into your life How you exempt a man from your life Without even crying Your beauty radiates It glows further luminous than the moon Falls down harder than the monsoon Your beauty radiates Brighter than the sun Makes every guy's head turn Oh, how your eyes gaze into my soul How your complexion makes me whole Is above me Oh, how your lips are Redder than any Rose How is our story still untold? May be because you don't truthfully love me Your beauty radiates It awakens the heavens You make all the angels your servants Your beauty radiates It makes me feel alive Hypnotizes me into thinking I'll never die And how I'm caught up in those eyes of yours Even after death we could be lovers If only you'd love me too And how you are my every sunset Your words would truly be heaven-sent If you'd only not let them hurt me too...
