Believe Me, You Don't Want It.

What if I tell you that I'm perfect?

Beauty is what I breathe out - into the world,

I'm the pious disguise you can never unveil.

your saints reflect back the wisdom of my words -

Don't you know the moon?

Oh, yes, I am the sun.

Would you like to have a divine cup of coffee?

Something that kills all the imperfection - wait! It might kill you.

Your thought is the residue of the fuel burning inside my mind.

Your breath is my will,

your soul - just one of the flowers in my garden.

What did you think?

A garden full of flowers in itself?

Nay, you're just another organ in the holy body.

Oh, do I sound too mean?

But dearly beloved, you wanted perfect.

Here is perfect and believe me, you don't want it.

Unfortunately most admirers consider a perfect person as someone who’s perfectly malleable like a lump of clay or lead, a puppet perfectly willing to be changed into an assumption of what they consider to be bliss. A predator always admires his prey. Humanity hasn’t strayed very far from the jungle. It’s a power game.

Powerful words, my friend. Thank you for stopping by.

"Would you like to have a divine cup of coffee?
Something that kills all the imperfection
-wait! It might kill you."
This small verse stood out to me because perfection is so unobtainable that we all want it, but cannot reach it. This is a really powerful poetry.

this is a bit funny, truthful, and clever...

~ being perfect depends on the perception of each person...

Once again...you end with a bang. "Clever girl"

Thank you. :)

[symmetryAsymmetry]

If perfect makes one this clever with words, I want it. ;)
Specially liked this statement:
"Your thought is the residue of the fuel burning inside my mind."
But even the rest of it is awesome..
Thanks.. :)

You're poetry is always very clever and every reader can extract meaning according to their perspective. It seems your father's sufi poetry has influence on you which shows in your work.Very nice.

[Mehak Mushtaq]

Thank you so much. My father has given me all the wisdom and skill. :)

[Zahra]

I like the perspective you hit with this one. You can really feel that underlying anger in the Speaker, I like it.

[Mehak Mushtaq]

I'm glad. :)
