Seven Heavens

Seven Heavens

Oh,  my feeble fragile being!
Oh!   God of seven heavens,
Coal-black veil of nights,
Golden-lit yellowish sun
Whose pale skin fades away
As night kisses it by sunset,
God of Adam and Eve:
The cascading waterfall of heirloins

Mouth agape,  bewildered,  struck:
"Subhanallah,  Alhamdulillah!  Oh!  Lord,
Tabarakallah, Masha Allah! "
Were the only wisdom I can vomit
For I have seen what eyes
Have never ever met
Since the creation of earth

Could I say she,  it,  a fiery,
Human,  a gazelle or an angel?
For what I see with my  heart
Is a hybrid of beautiful creations

A moon-lit vision did I see
Glittering in her golden eyes
Whenas star-like sparkles
Were  the adornment of her gums

Her lips were  the innocent
Honey-laddened flowery petals
From which a zephyr
Of musky redolence
Speaks out love and wits
Casting a deadly spell of love
Upon its hearer
