The rhythm of paces that shivers <br />Curves like jelly under the skin <br />Sustenance is life abstract known <br />To the few in the struggle to serve <br />The purpose is the incent to give <br />Desire to the heart to hold on <br />The breath intact in another mass <br />Of flesh when adored to the sight <br />Senses from else to give it eternity <br />Had not been the flamboyant youth <br />That shall die by the foist ray <br />Of the sun as the moon holds the seed <br />Smallness of life whoever did understand <br />Not the moral or ascetic but for the exuberant <br />The prayers shall restrain or the law codified <br /> <br />Let loose the self like water that flow <br />In sandstones like the serpent find path <br />The fountain of eternity had symbols of love <br />Erected or in rich softness with peaks <br />In one spin revolves the beauty of Self <br />Me and you and those who passed <br />Who shall come like in tornado is consumed <br /> <br />The greedy Soul of life shall not in peace <br />Leave us to ourselves every moment <br />Decisive to remain alive remains <br />The ultimate purpose what cost we pay <br />Heal the wounds for yet another battle cry <br />The morning rooster announces for all <br />For a little pleasure here on earth alas <br />What the divine snatches from us <br />For the eternal love like slaves to master <br />We yield our smaller souls in gratitude <br />In fear and in hope of paradise anon <br />18/11/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-battle-cry/
