Paradise lost

 Paradise Lost


— DEEN SAYEEDIN (13.02.21)


I was a devil —

God’s own freakish soul.

Being cursed,

I lost paradise.


My stubbornness went on and on;

God’s curse was upon me incessantly.

My naughtiness flowed on and on

Among the love-birds of paradise.


Sometimes, in the skin of an ant,

Sometimes, as a silent spider,

Sometimes, as the little black mamba —

My mischief crept on and on.


The love-birds cried,

Their agonies grew;

And the more His ruthless curse expanded,

The more my wild perversity burned.


Then — vanishing — my daring heart

Opened its eyes anew;

And light, pouring in,

Flooded my vision.


I heard the weeping

Of the female love-birds.

I trembled, bewildered,

And called my Lord aloud —


No answer came.

Then — in a breath —

I found myself again in paradise,

Resting beside my godly mother.
