Poetic Musings
By Clear Enigma also known as Usman Khan
Los Angeles, CA
The universal language of poetry has been used for centuries to express creativity. The artist has a message from within the depths of his soul that demands to be revealed to the world. Words within the matrix of poetry, is a medium by which the greats of the past spoke to us. I find it difficult to define myself in terms of identity. I am a Muslim, Pakistani, and American all wrapped up in one body. However, my outlook on life and values are more inclusive. Growing up, universal values were instilled in me. Through my art and poetry I like to express universal concepts that people from various walks of life can understand. As a citizen of the world and an inhabitant of this global community, the goal of my work is to promote peace, love and tolerance. The following poems are musings I wrote about various topics:
The Never Ending Destination
The keys of confusion are locked in my mind
As I drown deeper into an ocean of time
The branches of disunity grow in my soul
The anchor of certainty is my ultimate goal
In an instant of annihilation all time becomes still
My heart, mind, and soul agree with my will
Cries to the Divine are worth more than eternity
Through simple words blind hearts begin to see
In the long river of life we pass through every station
Yet love is the only boat of our never ending destination
