In the name of Allah
A free verse about
ZenuS
The goddess[1] of union
By: Persian Hoopoe
We were living in the God's mind/
He remembered us and we were fashioned.
God pronounced us/
and we came into being/
in the figure of antonym words/
so we are the earthly translations of supernal synonym worlds.
Though we were born in two separate beings,
We were created as one thing
One sole in two bodies.
In our Kindergarten of Instincts
were playing unconsciously and cheerfully
The other demigods
While we were arrogantly dividing the existence during a long destructive war / into two mental separate Worlds: Hell and heaven / War and peace / Hate and love / rich and poor / West and East / South and North / I and she / mine and hers….
All of the Athlete's part for me, Zeus,
And the entire Virgin's part for my playmate, Venus.
A half part of me was she /
and a half part of she was I.
And the world was a simple sample of our toy room.
After puberty we were silently attacked by a common/ appetizing assailant/ and were drunk by "nectar" of forbidden fruit/ and discovered the hidden hemispheres of our needs/and were exiled to anxiety desert of youth/
We, both, were captured by love's elegant fingers.
So, real battle was launched between us to capture the other half part of the rival's world.
When she mincingly knitted her brow/ my pacific ocean of patience became stormy/ and when I frowned, her Equator of desires became frozen.
We were always at "zero hour" and lapse of time didn't awake us.
She regarded her beauties with a deep holy respect/ and always venerated herself/ and I always boasted of being Emperor of "us".
She wanted to convert all of my particles to her Lovers/ and I tried to make all of her cells of beauty my Beloveds,
We were so selfishly interested in "ourselves" that we missed and forgot our "selves".
The final war was going on/ and the Third World of our innate needs was reaching to maturity zone/ and the other demigods were awaking one after the other, unexpectedly.
We happened in the mind of death/ and lost each other's godly "selves"/ in a breezy annihilated clarity.
At our mental palace of Olympus we were nightly attacked by other wakeful desires and instincts and we ought to run away to skies of wisdom.
We wanted to rule over the cosmos but we were tired and wanted to rest to save our rest of powers for tomorrow "battle of stars".
We found an empty snail-shell/ at the crowded pavement of Milky Way/ but we were such Great heavenly beings! that we couldn't "take place" in that cozy furnished territory/ since, that "Space" had been made only for one god! And we were two/ so a half part of us left and remained behind the door/ we came out and began to search for a two-spaced Empyrean.
None of us could live solely; we always needed a virtual war and crisis to be alive and proof our dignity beastly and 124000 prophets were dying in our prison of ignorance.
We were separately living in each other
But false pride didn't let "us" to be united as we were in our childhood gnosis.
Meanwhile, we heard a loud voice in that breezy nice night/ Angeles were laughing at US and the God was smiling.
You must not try savagely to conquer
but to surrender yourself to your mate.
Your heart is my Capital of existence and all the creatures have one religion.
We were burnt in our flames of shame and disgracefully crept into the same snail-shell.
The God's empyreans were inside
And it was as large as all created things.
and the voice was continuously repeating.
I am everything but nothing is me.
Miss yourselves to find me and your "selves".
Because I am your "selves" and you are my "self"
You have been unique being at the first/ and must be united again/ so leave yourselves outside and come in with only your "selves".
Who was speaking?
- Every cell of us and existence.
If you want to reach to unity your remaining parts must be tied to your partner's.
We didn't understand and the old snail thoughtfully enlightened us and explained the paradigm of unity:
Venus must leave her "VEN" part/ and Zeus must leave his "US"/ the remaining parts are ZE and NUS/
And Zenus is your newly reborn demigod with two different natures: ZEN[2] and US that should be coupled again.
ZEN needs US
and US needs ZEN
and the combination is ZENUS
which is the united states of antonyms.
and your missing Utopia.
She must stop her eastern Venerating of herself/ and you must finish your western consecration and only sanctifies and worship your Lord.
We whispered voicelessly: but we are demigods…
He interrupted our "thoughts" and replayed:
Everything is a demigod and God created them in pairs but Man is the superior of the creatures.
"Man is a small (sample) of world
And world is a great (sample) of Man[3]".
Each single only can be completed by its "missing link" and your "selves" is your missing link of yourselves.
We were returning to our everlasting roots of being by drinking the NECTAR and AMBROSIA of wisdom.
Everyone's chest is the battlefield of these two superpowers/ if you want calmness you must make peace between them/
Everyone's chest should be the nuptial nest of this bride and groom.
In the light of delightful youth fruits we reached to singleness and global unity / and every cell of existence celebrated our victory /
Now we are such little nothings! That may peacefully occur in an infinite eternity/ even at a timeless part of Silk(y) Way.
Our children of merit recite the evolving history of our lovely story everyday in all places and times. And we repeat with them:
She was I / I was she / we were one
I was two / she was too
I became two / and she too
I fight against myself / and defeated myself /
and was defeated by myself / and won myself
Now I'm my "self".
I am two "ones" / but one is not two
You are I / and I am you /……. /
