Soul Needs

Do you search for deep wells?  Dry desert land, is that your soul?
Rushing waters through underground caves, in hidden door soul?

Arabian master, the women are all the same without the drink of life,
you perish chasing after wind, a bored soul?

They offer you their bodies, leaving you wanting much more
than just sex, a little satisfaction empty whore soul?

Submit your passion to Allah, beloved and be filled
with the offering of sensuous delights, restored soul?

Life with meaning is sanctified and satisfied, blooming
in the desert sun, do you need spiritual amour soul?

Fulfillment is stimulation of body, mind and heart,
let me capture your passion, you see what you yearn for soul?

The Prophet moves between heaven and earth, so the sensual
must be consecrated to be enjoyed, an open door, soul.
