Denizen Poem by Adnan Shafi

I am the denizen of the place
of martyrdomambrosial,
The claviger of truth recondite
"La ila"
The Vanquisher in my own
premeditation,
The effigy of Eden/Valhalla
owned by the essence of
paragon slain in the battle.
Far-flung from the place,
beaten paths, and
paraphernalia,
Extirpated the idiosyncrasies
'tween compatibility and estrangement,
Etched the drapers of mortiferous
character,
Freed from the boorishness and
predilection;
And from the percipient and
benumbed trepidation,
Bid a sendoff to blues and
annulment,
Exterminated the demarcation
of name and fame eulogized,
by battling triumphantly in the battlegroundwith my carnal
desires and profanity.
And, I became the manifestation
of the path of divine reality.
