I don’t believe in “God,”
but the way your breath goosebumps
my soul
and controls every thought
only proves
that we must be sinning.
how could anything
righteous
feel so good?
you are naked,
bathed in sunlight
and you tell me again how
you wish to practice an ascetic life;
then let me teach you
how to turn my water to
sweet, sweet……
worship over my *******,
kiss my neck and
resurrect the animals inside us,
watch how we shine.
Oh.
Practice with me
I’ll show you how
your head can bow
then rise…
Ruku
then rise
and oh, I promise,
my palms will lift upward
toward your holy skies;
I’ll pray
the way only you
can make me do.
For the love of Allah
bury your face between my thighs,
lock your hands with mine,
look into my eyes
I want to watch you
come
bow into Mirhab
turn to Mecca
Please
I beg you raise your face toward
the heavens
while we fall down
from grace.
Please, oh god, please
don’t stop.
Glory awaits;
whisper me prayers til
your words drip
from your lips
down onto my sheets,
Oh
please whisper,
make me quiver
til I see God
and believe
that you must be right…
Alhamdulillah.
With you,
I’d pray every night.
