Illusions

The shallow depth 
Of your innate obscurity,
Behind the veil of your serene wonder
Echo-heals my frantic tranquility.

Somewhere 
Between the time and space,
From the push of gravity
	To the fall from grace.

The keeper of the sin 
Grave-digs the shadow of the mist,
But the immortal time of the finite divine
	Flame-thrills the power of the least.

The magic spell of the night 
And the Zen of my ecstasy,
The arrest of bliss
Dream-lights my sonic fantasy. 

(C) Obaidur Rahman. Published in the poet’s debut book of English poetry titled “The Mystic Inferno” in 2012.
