Foreign Beauty

[Ameen]

A restricted soul

Forced to keep the gaze low

Trapped my desires in a cube and its temperature, cold

 

I walked into the classroom alert as a soldier in battlefield mode

Taking a seat on the opposite side of a woman whose beauty drew the attention of my soul

I summoned my desires and locked it with a foreign code.

I lowered my gaze and embarked my mind on the day dream road

I fantasied about meeting popular figures from the people of old

 

I felt a sense of comfort while trapping myself within my own mind

I discovered lessons and felt a rush in my body like that of a free fall ride

For writers, write

Politicians lie

Cowards hide

Hypocrites are the lowest in ranks from mankind

And I’m just a man who takes countless trips through his own mind

That’s the reality of my situation and the present time.

 

I heard a pen drop and my mind returned to find my soul seated in the room across the exit doors

I look around seeking to find the source of noise

Instead I found the beauty a woman who is unknown

She spoke out aloud and my mind rushed to free itself from useless thoughts and listened with care

 

The fight within began when shaitan challenged me to a game of truth and dare

I sat patiently and started to plot plans to become the city’s next mayor

I entertained myself until shaitan offered me a question of truth and not an action of dare

He asked, whether I assumed the woman with foreign beauty was from Arabia

Or maybe she was a product of Persia

I quickly glanced over, failed the test but discovered that she was probably from Asia

Or maybe remote parts of Pakistan or even from India

But her beauty seemed to be a collection of different cultures complied within one figure

 

Had I not known of the stories of men who had seen beautiful women only to sell their souls

In order to fulfill their desires and add to their evil scrolls

I probably would’ve become a victim to shaitan’s plots and only Allah truly knows

 

But knowledge served as a protection

It kept me firm in the right direction

As I became guilty of letting loose my imagination

And in the end, all thanks be to Him who released me from all evil tension

[Haneefah]

The ultimate war within, eh?

 

She must've been a stunner.

[Ameen]

A stunner eh..? I dont know...but what I do know is, she trickered my poetic mind. And as they say, we might loose a soldier here and there but the war must continue

 

What can I say..Im a SOLDIER! lol
