Love Poem: Hamd's Haven In Hammam

Hamd's Haven In Hammam

Hamd in Hammam 

His or her word is everything resolved

Absolved enlightened entwined where

Mistress and master join in passion in

Birth and rebirth recant their solemn prayer


In every flower deed conviction praise

Nirvana even in the Turkish bath where


Harun and Hafeeza in separate chambers

Adhere to cleansing body mind and soul

Miraculous to every pore and purified

Mantra tantric to the highest order

A ceremonial purge in steam in heat and

Measurement of heaven haven Allah’s creed
