Terrace In Azayba
Terrace in Azayba
On the white terrace
the sky sieves
sapphire earrings.
From the nests of the minarets
deep trembles
embalm the horizon.
White halo
the city travels
through the desert -
a ship
of prayers....

Snowbound Xanadu
Against barren cliffs, daylight enters , finding
glistening horizons ,iridescent jewels keeping
lovely minarets near Olympic peaks, quietly revealing
snowbound turrets under velvet winds ..
Xanadu, you'r Zion

One Last Forbidden Kiss
Church bells were heard nearby
As minarets tall, made prayer calls
When they stood on war torn bridge
Parting with one last forbidden kiss.
Sirens of war were loud too,
But bombs much louder, blasted inferno.
Bridge collapsed, bodies shattered,
No voice dared to claim the silence.

God's Voice
Whether Jesus comes to hear you pray,
Or the Moon and the Stars show the way.
Whether Buddha sits smiling over all,
Or Allah listens from minarets tall.
Perhaps, Hindu God’s guard your dark nights.
Or Jehovah sees your minorah lights.
The Sky Father may brighten your day,
Earth Mother’s eyes may watch as you play.
No matter the season or the choice.
Know, All Goodness speaks with God’s voice...

The Unanswered
The Unanswered
A mass murderer
Should there be room for pity
A crime so awful
Yet he was born an infant
Innocent eyes seeing the world
Forgive our hatred
If we have not the power
To forgive his sins
Forever we see him as a ghost
An echo of forbidden thoughts
From all minarets
The cry of one rightful god
A dominant faith
Too much for a godless land
Can we defy its command?...

Sailing Somewhere
I was placed in my boat of reed,
And placed in a river run smoothed.
I drifted past Moses’ landing place,
Nestled amongst the rushes,
Past Peter’s boat and fishing nets,
Past reformed basilicas and black minarets,
And factories of manufactured creeds and needs.
All, whose only purpose is to clean the streets,
Tattoo feet, and recycle old shoes and dirt.
I sailed, past them all,
Into the unknown of the ocean....

The End of Islam
THE END OF ISLAM
On the bay beach at Belyounech
Just east of Tangier
From the old whaling Station
You can see Algeciras and Gibraltar
And there on the beach look up
And see the Rif of the Atlas
With beyond them ten thousand miles
Of Sahara sand and muezzins on minarets.
The northern horizon exudes
The smells of hot-dogs
And the sounds of Pink Floyd.
The south shore on the beach
Is the end of Islam....

Land of Canaan
Where is your Baal, land of Canaan?
Where are your people,
smart and courageous?
They discovered an alphabet.
Greeks took it
and also the credit.
Where is your schism Constantinople?
Is it hidden under the minarets?
For Buddhists there is no God,
but we still have our Manitu.
Where is your land,
Indigenous people of America?
People of different religion displaced us.
Talk to us Great Spirit.
“Do not follow Jezebel.
She is a false prophet.”...

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 the aura of peacocks....
