Институтка писала стихи
И от этого страстно кричала.
Индульгировались грехи —
Не ебало мужское начало.
И так томно до дна истязалась,
Разливая стакан по полочкам,
А Моне доставал портмоне,
И огурчик, и драпировочку.

This poem is about a woman who chooses not love, but language. She suffers not from a man, but from an inner fire. The “institute girl” is no naive character — she’s a poetess of pain. The man with his wallet, his cucumber, his props — he’s just a backdrop. The real drama unfolds within her. And that’s real. Being yourself is suffering, writing, and not asking for permission.
Если небо цвета Матисса
И при полном параде Луна —
Раздвигает ноги Графкисса,
Нам в чернильную ночь пора!
Там собачьим аншлюсом не пахнет,
Там мы — слитки в плавильном цеху.
Утекаем в страну без башен
На волнистом ночном берегу.

This poem is an escape from reality into personal myth. Here, Matisse isn’t a painter — he’s a portal. The moon is the night’s conductor. The Grafkiss is a gate of longing. Self-realization begins with imagination — when you stop obeying geography and start inventing it. To be yourself is to know the way to a towerless land.
Саблизнув на блесну,
Ты нальёшь скотобазе,
И вот так поутру
Захлебнёшься в экстазе.
Мир животных заснул,
Но горит ещё финка,
Я тебя саблезнул
Между строк невидимкой.

This poem is about the right to be wild, sharp, alive. It’s not about curated tenderness — it’s about an inner roar that can’t be tamed. To be “saber-toothed” between the lines means carrying your power even when unseen. That’s self-realization: to live passion fully, without hiding.
Порно каналы спускаем в краны,
Порно моделей обратно в тоннели,
Руки помоем, в урну постели,
Ах, нихуя себе мы ахуели!
И за работу — сносим метелью,
Прем, ослепляем, как фотомодели,
Маршем на подиум Жизни с похмелья,
Ну, и Лехаим за достиженья!

This poem captures the shift from pornographic noise to the clarity of action. It’s a hymn to the morning reboot: flushing the channels, washing hands, stepping out into the world to get things done. It affirms the absolute right to be the hero of your own hangover. Value: Self-realization — not of an idealized self, but of a lived one, with both dirt and glory intertwined.

Rise—for even the heavens seem displeased with your sleep, O’ unripe heart!
You've lost that lightning, that spectacle, that celestial art.

How long will you slumber in the chains of dust and clay?
You are a spark that even destiny cannot delay.

Know thyself—for you are the light of the eternal scheme,
One piercing glance of yours can resurrect a dream.

If you will it, you can command the stars in flight—
If not, your fate remains a captive of endless night.

This world depends on you—you are the rhythm of time,
Drunken self-forgetfulness has robbed you of your prime.

Set fire to every tune that moans the dirge of imitation,
Transform yourself—the current of time bends to your creation.

Ignite a longing, birth a flame, become a living blaze—
Let a tempest rise in your heart, and dawn break through your gaze.

You are not merely a drop in the ocean’s vast expanse—
You are the ocean itself, flowing free in your sacred dance.

In the hush of time, where shadows do align,  
Thy words resound, like a sacred sign.  

An eagle I stand, though wings yet unformed,  
In the winds of trial, my spirit is warmed.  

The acid of hardship, with fury doth bite,  
Yet in its cruel grasp, I find my might.  

My scars, like jewels, shall crown me with pride,  
For each one whispers of the battles I've defied.  

Behind veils of hatred, where cold winds do sweep,  
I forge a new tongue that the world cannot keep.  

A language of truth, where love's purest art,  
Speaks the deepest secrets of the undying heart.  

Though fate may seem barren, its hand cruel and still,  
I bend it to my will, and my soul shall fulfil.  

For destiny’s course is not set in the stone—  
I carve my own path, and I stand alone.  

O' voice of righteousness, whose fire doth burn,  
In thy light, I rise, in thy wisdom, I turn.  

I gaze in the mirror, and see with clear sight,  
A place of my making, where courage takes flight.

Am I also a traveler on this road?
Am I too, a witness to sins untold?
Or am I merely a reflection of a past desire,
A chapter in fate’s endless fire?

Do my deeds weave my destiny?
Or am I just dust, blown by history?
If I can change, then where do I start?
Which door must I knock, which truth must I chart?
JAMIL HUSSAIN Dec 2024
O’ Beloved, in the quiet of destiny's hand,
Your heart shall soften, like earth to the land,
The frost of years, the burdens of time,
Shall melt away in love's sublime climb.

Your eyes, once veiled in the mist of night,
Shall turn toward me, guided by inner light,
A gaze that pierces the veils of fear,
Where the Eternal speaks, both far and near.

Your tongue, once silent in the realm of pride,
Shall utter truths no tongue can hide,
Each word a spark, a flame of fire,
That ignites the soul, ascending higher.

And your arms, bound once in sorrow’s chain,
Shall open wide, releasing pain.
In that embrace, the world shall cease,
And we shall find in each other’s peace.

O’ Beloved, in that union true,
We shall dissolve, and be made new.
No longer I, no longer you,
But the One in both, in love’s pure view.

In that moment, we are free,
Beyond the self, beyond the “me.”
For in that love, all forms collapse,
And only the Divine remains, unwrapped.

Flipping through a bundle
of identical sheets
I realise there is no difference between us

I, like the sheets
Hover the earth with no specific goal
Waiting for someone to scribble
an endorsement

But no-one comes
Because I am the paper and the ink
My experiences are my art
freely given materials

With which to bless,  beautify and build
When you realise noone is coming to save you

I have to turn away
from thoughts
of what I am not
to be
the living dream
of what I am.

See how this dream unfolds,
without your plans and figuring.
The sequences and cycles
and all the stops –
all Mother’s Play.

Fibonacci only saw it.
He, most certainly, did not make it.
How could he even know what it is?

Sacred Is.
We notice
when our eyes are cleared
of clouds and smoke.

If you believe the thought
about controlling God,
then you believe in your own death.

This Mother is out from under
that controlling thumb.
She is slowly standing up.
And, as she extends
to reach her fully glorified heights,
we fall into her grace.
And see what we had,
was not at all what we thought.

She has already prepared our home.
And thank The Lord!
The thoughts we had to plan
could never amount to much
of the mountainous Truth
Divine Mother shines out
for us to be.
