The master wanted to round me of <br />To his own disciplines and subjugation <br />Elixir of love that had not touched <br />His lips he offered with a bow <br />Before I touched the earth from underneath <br />The feet travelled thousands distances <br />Cleansed with holy waters <br />For the senses I picked the reed <br />For the heart wine <br />Enlivened spirit for consumption <br />Body of earth to the purity <br />Of the universal soul <br />From self to self the journey of love <br />I wanted to see the self <br />One to one myself <br />My sacred blasphemy <br />I broke the rules <br />I refused to follow <br />The form was like the rock of Sinai <br />When on the earth I descended <br />To the commonness of belief <br />Self needs no master <br />No rules <br />No ablutions <br />12/6/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-broke-the-rules/
