God Where Art Thou? Poem by Takbeer Salati

Into the shallowness of my memories,
Between the wars of two heart halves
I craved for the eternal list of my life,
Which guaranteed my death and
Not my beloved's mirage.
I prayed and bowed, 'till
The sunrise and Sunglow'
I cried and beat my chest for the union
Had I known the time had yet
again traveled far away from my thought.
That night when the chill winter air,
Penetrating through my raw bones
Creeping my accomplishments to the heart,
I rose and Died a million times.
I could not breathe till I could resonate
Through my shadow
The touch, the feel, the encouragement
I resurrected from my false belief,
I touched your skin and died
A living.
