**i Broke The Rules Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

The master wanted to round me of
To his own disciplines and subjugation
Elixir of love that had not touched
His lips he offered with a bow
Before I touched the earth from underneath
The feet travelled thousands distances
Cleansed with holy waters
For the senses I picked the reed
For the heart wine
Enlivened spirit for consumption
Body of earth to the purity
Of the universal soul
From self to self the journey of love
I wanted to see the self
One to one myself
My sacred blasphemy
I broke the rules
I refused to follow
The form was like the rock of Sinai
When on the earth I descended
To the commonness of belief
Self needs no master
No rules
No ablutions
