Intro

Before I crossed the threshold into that pulsing underworld, I handed my soul to a fallen angel at the door—sealing a Faustian bargain for women who existed only in virtual promise, illusions spun from desire and digital haze. Inside, the club drowned in dark misty buzz, hypnotic music clamping my mind like a vice while friends turned feral, circling for lust in the crimson gloom. I met their eyes—those angelic women whose irises burned like red moons multiplied tenfold, searing seduction directly onto my thoughts. Wine fueled a rising confidence, false as sunrise in hell; their hands clasped mine, lips brushed my neck, electric shivers racing down my spine. Then the mask slipped: the space grew haunted, their beautiful faces melting into faceless voids, hollow and ravenous. On the throbbing dance floor they encircled me, devouring my very countenance until I was nothing but a sacrifice stretched across their altar, offered up to goddesses who were never holy—only devourers wearing borrowed skin.

In the end, standing outside myself like a stranger watching the wreckage, I see it clearly: the soul wasn’t stolen in one dramatic theft but eroded night after night, song after song, sip after sip, until only a hollow silhouette remained on that altar. What I once called desire was merely the echo of a bargain I never read to the fine print; the red-moon eyes that promised ecstasy were the same that measured my worth in shadows and traded me piece by piece to goddesses who never needed names. Now the club is silent, the mist dissolved, yet the heartbeat I traded still thumps faintly somewhere behind closed doors—reminding me that freedom was never lost in the darkness inside, but in the moment I chose to step through them anyway, knowing full well I would never truly walk out again.

Intro

Sometimes I think about why the urge to create feels so natural, almost unavoidable, as if it was placed inside us long before we understood what art even was. It makes me wonder if creativity is part of the reason we exist at all—like God invented us so imagination could move through human hands and fill the world with poetry, colour, music, and ideas. That’s why attempts to suppress beauty or expression always feel strange to me. Throughout history people have tried to control it, whether by policing women’s appearance and radiance or by telling artists how far their voices are allowed to travel. Yet beauty behaves like the sunrise—it arrives without permission. Even in places where expression is restricted, creativity still leaks through the cracks. And in places where it isn’t banned, it can still be quietly reshaped, packaged, and branded until art risks losing the soul that made it powerful in the first place. The more I reflect on it, the more it feels like a contradiction: if creativity and beauty are woven into who we are, then no system—political, cultural, or commercial—can truly contain them. What ignites in the human spirit eventually finds a way to shine.

In conclusion, In the relentless grip of strict Sharia interpretations under regimes like those in Afghanistan, Iran, and parts of Saudi Arabia, women’s lives remain profoundly diminished as of March 2026, with systemic discrimination enshrined in law and enforced through violence and fear. In Afghanistan under Taliban rule, over 100 edicts and the 2024 Vice and Virtue Law—bolstered by new 2026 criminal procedures—have banned girls from secondary and higher education, prohibited women from most employment and public spaces without a male guardian (mahram), mandated full-face veiling including burqas, silenced women’s voices in public (even reciting Quran or singing), restricted healthcare access leading to preventable deaths, and criminalized defiance with arbitrary detention, flogging, or worse, amounting to what UN experts and rights groups describe as gender apartheid and persecution. In Iran, the intensified Noor Plan and draconian compulsory hijab laws threaten death penalties, imprisonment, flogging, travel bans, and facial recognition surveillance for non-compliance, perpetuating male guardianship in marriage, divorce, inheritance (where women often receive half), and custody, while exposing women to unchecked domestic violence, honor killings, and impunity for abusers. Even in Saudi Arabia, despite some reforms, lingering guardianship elements and unequal personal status laws continue to limit autonomy in key life decisions. These enforcements—rooted in patriarchal readings of Sharia—strip women of education, economic independence, mobility, bodily autonomy, and justice, fostering isolation, economic disempowerment, heightened gender-based violence, and a denial of the divine radiance and creativity your poetry celebrates, turning what should be uncontainable light into shadowed existence under human-imposed veils of control.
