I Painted Her In My Poems Poem by Mohammad Younus

I painted her in my poems,
With the brush of my love;
I little thought to find
She was holding the brush
In her hand
So this painting depicts the features
That she wants to manifest to herself;
She gave her painting eyes mine,
She gave it a face mine:
I came to find my own image,
In her painting,
I blushed as I saw my picture,
In her painting's mirror.

She drummed my ears this evening,
I got filled with melody divine;
I wish that I could hug her
A somewhat impossible hug;
And if you ask me how her painting
charms you?
I might be speechless.
How would I tell you I love myself!
