A Boomers Late Bloomer
Skinny in youth thick in later days
Champion for truth despite delays
As a late bloomer in thought process
Born to a baby boomer and so blessed
Believed in God but didn’t get much church
Felt so odd how the church clicks work
Rather open to explore other fuchsia faiths
Went to the mosque just couldn’t be great
And with Buddhism she

Obsidian Mosque
I'm fading away to oblivion
Fates lead me to having a heart made of obsidian
Shatters easily but cuts deep
I'm feeling so weak, I can't believe it's been weeks
Since we last had the chance to see
Each other, its tearing me apart
You're about to be my baby mother, and I don't know where you are
We met

Mosque Kettles
Because of mosque kettles,
Mama stay because
Grammar loves you,
I will sell for a billion trillion dealion peppers
Tricked for a thousand years,
Ask Babangida or Buhari,
They dine at the throne and palace,
While we pay subservience at their feet,
We went in with tools,
Came out with rules
With His sons,
Drank holy communion,
Which healed them of Corona Virus

Mosque cowed covenant I keep Putin off...

the following communication
tucked away these many years,
when president number forty five
donned, jump/kick started, and tweeted
thru his musky, albeit flabby mantle,
a rallying cry forewarning onset of Mag(m)a
bubbling, gurgling, lobbing, and spewing lava
against backdrop of his trumpeting vitriolic
political preservation, salvation,
and veneration, though with hold

Midnight Mosque
In translucent silence
sapphire-capped minarets
stand like ardent rose buds
under glint of a firefly moon.
Gone are birds of day
like ruby breasted dawn
spilling ashes of roses
on a saffron horizon,
rhododendrons and azaleas floating
up high to burnish
the mosque's ghosted towers.
Through night's brisk lapis
the hushed teal dome bides
wafting apple breezes
as walls and turrets lumber,
shielding the tiled plaza
until morning steeps the landscape
in

Friday Prayer At the Mosque
The holy sermon reverberates
across the mosque
I see rowdy boys in uniform fooling
They gather in cliques at the back row
And what radiates from their vicinity
an aura, that makes the lord's home
akin to a playing ground
where ungodly names are tossed around
sounds of trivial chatter, left and right
just an exasperating game
of

Inside a Mosque On a Friday Prayer
UhUhUh! Even cattle on sunny hot days
Feel suffocation
Inside windows-doors-shut sheds
(yes! i have seen it, how their eyes bulge out and redden,
And they take deep sighs,
And look perplexed in fear.)
And no one! no one! minds it, here
In this huge crowd!
Even this arrogant hands-raising-high
Moulvi...
Oh! I get

Mosque Crawlers
CIA & the NYPD’s got a thing for hassling those who
get down on their knees to “pray” to one kind of
fiction, as opposed to another---
in Jersey,
they got a way of always being around when
Jersey muslims are trying to dwell in a specific delusion
on their own, whilst good ol’ christians get nothing of the
sort---
saying that

The Imam Runs Only To the Mosque
Will you break off with me,
my beloved,
morsel for morsel laddu*?
My dream doesn’t come to me,
my bed is divided,
my heart – dry,
fire is rankling me.
You’ll regret,
my beloved,
if you taste it –
outside it’s sweet
inside – bitter.
Twice more,
my beloved,
your tear will run fast
if you pass me by scornfully.
In my chest
I wear a diamond of snake,
a lion-hair on

Absolution's Font: Mosque of Ibn Tulun, Cairo, Egypt
Await the zenith of the sun,
cross clay courtyard a beckoning
barefoot walked, heartstring undone,
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.
Soundless clarion of tears fall
toward absolution’s bright blessing,
within the domed sabil I call...
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.
The fountain's dry, but not my eyes
sounds of grace rebound, amazing,
Amazing Grace, sang such as I
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.
We

Mosque Controversy
I'm non denominational. I practice no particular religious faith.
My religion is plain and simple: Love, Don't Hate.
I can't understand for the life of me
all of this "Don't build a Mosque close to the 911 site" controversy.
Muslims as a whole DID NOT launch the 911 attack.
It was carried out by a bunch of religious, fanatical maniacs.
If
