The vast bareness from the haze <br />Soul’s creation with saga the deity <br />Many virgin’s blood in sacrifice <br />Assumed many names wit to the fellows <br />The goddess she was worshippers many <br />In chants musical for the wrath she carried <br />Venoms and snakes like jasmine and roses <br /> <br />A worshipper is me as she moves in dream <br />The zephyr in breeze removes the black hair <br />Thin legs and where meet aroma of saffron <br />Bows to the earth in moon when the ritual <br />Love in making and protection for the faint <br />In love who is she says she has the cure <br /> <br />From the tavern when with the cup I <br />To the goddess in premises sanctified <br />Her soul she said moved as with my hand <br />Like the earth cold in moon and the sun <br />Of my warmth she wept like she had not <br />For centuries O lone worshipper close <br />On thy horse of wings take me away <br /> <br />My beauty is for you my body your gift <br />Free me from the deity goddess I am not <br />A hand in hand and a kiss on my neck <br />In the dens of ignorance they up me bred <br />A walk to the moon I promised the goddess <br />When I woke up my mind was on fire <br />8/2/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goddess-freed/
