Hands with an everlasting
smell of roses
might they be here in this room
when my eyes fail to see
might this be them touching
all the other senses
"You will live enough, dont worry,
to burn your sins with tears"
said someone sitting
on the east side of my head and
"You will die young, dont worry,
to turn your smiles into roses
to grow on your soil bed"
said someone running
on the west side of my head
Hands with an everlasting
smell of roses
Could you bring me
soils, eastern and western,
Could you teach me
how to mix them and
plant roses

What a beautiful thought and beautifully expressed to. Sadness and sweetness, soil and roses.
what a beautiful comment...
oh nice, but i wonder where the heart is, i am guessing it is either the master narrative, or the plot:)
oh I cannot help citing this verse, there might be a potential follow up:)
And God's is the east and the west: and wherever you turn, there is God's countenance. Behold, God is infinite, all-knowing.
bakara/115
oh i m getting a sense why it might be the mind, not the heart that has been mentioned, it is the mind's perception that creates the distinction between east and west?
It is beautiful for me to see, that in the harsh deserts of the Arabian Gulf, beautiful roses can bloom, and you are one of them. I loved this, Sherry. There is something beautiful sad about this, as Paul said, but something so delicately feminine about your writing that is enchanting, I think your poetry is becoming more powerful by the day. I love the sense of hybrid contradiction and resolution between east and west in this poem, I think I understand what you mean.
Virtual hug!
Koz, I love your brainstorming like that:) Thank you!
Emandy, you are wonderful! virtual hugs and kisses:)
Beautiful.
Duality has always been a source of pain. I fully understand and sypathize with your deep urge to bring ends together. I personally think our minds are capable of eliminating this virtual separation if we want them to. Oness is the most beautiful possiblity that "modern" societies fail to consider.
I hope you'll live a long life to delight us with your verses :)
DF, I forgot to thank you for the comment:(
True.Oneness is not as utopic as it sounds,I think, especially when you look at it from a sufi point of view...
Hope you are well and hope you share more of your inner talks with us thru your blog.

Since in the universe there is observedly beauty of art, and this is certain, it necessitates with a certainty as definite as actually witnessing it the Prophethood of Muhammed (PBUH). For the beauty of art and finely ornamented forms of these beautiful creatures shows that in their Fashioner is a significant will to make beautiful and powerful desire to adorn. And this will and desire shows that there is in the Maker an elevated love and sacred inclination towards the perfections of the art He displays in His creatures. And this love and inclination require to be most turned towards and concentrated on man, the most enlightened and perfect individual among beings. And man is the conscious fruit of the tree of creation. And the fruit is the most comprehensive and furthest part, the part with the most general view and universal consciousness. And the one with the most comprehensive view and universal consciousness may be a most elevated and brilliant individual, who will meet with and be addressed by that Beauteous Maker; who will expend his universal consciousness and comprehensive view entirely on the worship of his Maker, the appreciation of His art, and thanks for His bounties.
thanks.
Thank you Korhan for enlightening us.
"Conscious fruit of the tree of creation..." I like that and deeply appreciate His art.
