Flesh, Blood and Soul

*

*

Death!

Lustful eyes

And stray thoughts

Pushed far enough towards

Damnation.

*

*

*

*

Hope

Is forgiveness.

It’s  not me.

But Almighty Being Himself

Redemption.

  1. Oh Lord..
    i must be
    psychic
    again
    as usual..
    synchronicity.. or
    whatever Acausal
    connecting principle
    iS in play now as when
    i was arriving here at your
    site.. the strangest thOught
    popped into my head before
    i arrived at your new poem here..
    and that was
    how are
    you
    mastering
    your passions
    these days.. Rafiah..
    as i surely cannot imagine
    you as a greedy person in less
    you would love more attention from
    your bestie girl friends from over ‘there’..
    in Pakistan Land..
    anyway..
    i must
    say you
    are becoming
    a very innovative
    and creative poet
    as Lord knows i see
    a phallic symbol there
    at the head of your poem
    about lustful eyes.. stray
    thoughts.. death and my
    goodness..
    damnation..
    that is
    surely
    a worse
    fate than
    only death..
    and below that
    the spirit of redemption
    when one sees lust as evil..
    Hmm.. funny.. you kNow.. i read
    the title of your site for i guess over
    a year before i looked at it as potentially
    literally meaning mastering passion and greed
    in terms of you as a person.. and i suppose that
    it is my pre-conceived notion that women find it
    easier
    to
    control
    lust.. particularly
    Muslim women and
    that is just another
    preconceived notion
    as underneath the clothing..
    yes surely.. more than we see over
    ‘heRe’ there is a beating heart and
    flesh that is flesh and beating like
    any other
    human
    alive.. now..
    yeah.. i face
    up to my lust..
    master it too..
    and never fall
    to the actual act
    of it to harm anyone..
    in real life now.. and greed..
    and jealousy and other human
    nature to regulate and control
    is always a mastery of life
    my friend..
    from
    wake
    to sleep..
    i focus on giving
    more than taking..
    sharing more
    than
    controlling
    and here in my later
    years.. i find it works for me..
    and what i love most is friends
    with smiles my friEnd..
    sure.. with words too..
    that you often share
    and give me.. too..
    yet sure..
    i am
    human.. too..
    and this life is
    both art and practice
    oF LiGht above dARk..
    and oh by A way.. been reading
    a lot about human archetypes and
    Carl Jung lately.. so sure.. that could be
    just
    a
    pyramid
    up tHeRE too..
    and perhaps
    not a
    partial
    womb below..
    but in Jungian
    terminology that is
    how Jung describes the
    anima that is the diving feminine
    as female sexuality as spiritual
    and nurturing
    and male
    or animus
    in divine masculine
    as part
    of the
    earth
    as
    more flesh and blood
    than in terms of Romance
    Novels and imagination.. as opposed
    to visual images in more ‘down to earth’
    way.. it does seem to be an appropriate over
    all symbol for our general human nature here..
    as the
    spiritual
    life is more in
    emotions and the
    earthy one is more
    in raw senses as such..
    anyWay.. i could go on.
    as this is truly
    fascinating
    in what
    Jung Terms
    Synchronicity as
    the closer one gets to
    the source.. the force of God
    iN alignment.. synchronicities
    rain in one’s conscious life as God’s Painting..
    as a work of art and masterpiece of tapestry
    comes into greater view..
    and evidence
    of God
    is most
    all one
    experiences..
    surely in heaven now..
    as when one is in personal
    contact like this with God all of liFe is MaGiC..
    but without belief in more than one reads in books..
    it often
    is sadly
    missed and
    non-existent
    and that my
    friend IS A
    lesSon
    oF
    liFe experience
    as without the experience
    it’s hard to relate this all to outside in..:)

  2. *divine feminine
    ha!..
    diving feminine
    could be a Freudian
    slip of the lip… i guess..;)

      I know its been really long since I have been here. I wanted to write few times, but muse and will to write evaporated as soon as I started. But dont worry I wont be abandoning this place, as this is only where I can be comletely free from all kinds of guards. 🙂

  4. SMiLes.. my friEnd Rafiah..
    all muse of liFe is EmoTiOns
    and sENSEs and as they say
    in biology and chemistry
    neuro-chemistry of
    what
    moves us
    in life and sTiLL
    sadly.. little science
    is taught of this in big
    picture art of life in western
    schools at least and i surely
    cannot speak for yours.. however..
    the more patriarchal a society is the
    more emotions and senses are usually oppressed
    and repressed.. easy to see in the most patriarchal
    assessed metro area in the United States in terms
    of being
    different
    sTiLL and
    expreSSinG
    different as free..
    as patriarchy.. naturally.
    as a state of human being
    in response to scarcity of resources
    seeks to dominate and control all resources
    including human ones.. particularly females
    and children as both the prize and potential threat
    if those in turn set themselves free from a patriarchal rule..
    it’s a mix.. not all good or bad.. depending on which side of
    the coin one lives on
    as majority
    rule..
    what i
    do know and
    feel is this i can surely
    express more divine feminine
    grace and love over here in ‘big man’
    land with will and Strength that is easily
    felt afar by anyone so far who would challenge
    my freedom all provided as such by local.. state
    and federal laws.. and the Internet provides.. yes.. an
    avenue like this.. for those not nearly as privileged as i
    to both live somewhere where
    this freedom iS even possible
    for me.. in the flesh
    and blood
    DancE
    and
    SinG
    oF LiFe FReED
    as me.. and God allone
    as surely all animals.. including
    human have a natural desire for the
    pursuit of life.. liberty and the pursuit of
    whatever happiness meets a thrive of life..
    perHap..s a flutter for a butterfly… a spiral around
    a Sun for Seagulls and a taste of milk and honey for those folks
    named
    as
    human now
    and animal too..
    other than that happy to
    hear you are pulling through the
    best you can my friend and always happy
    to see and feel and sense you pouring out what
    lives within you.. namely God Free.. heAR.. thanks
    for dropping
    a note..
    my friEnd
    as you kNow
    FeeL and SeNsE
    i’LL be around these pARts
    iN the future too.. namELy
    nowthen.. Rafiah’s places too..:)
