Desperation Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Cold creeping on from the feet
Into the legs with injured knees
The last dance when for the rhythm
That girl did show her legs
And in a complaint of a music
In voice died by liquor and drugs
How many hands shall touch her
Like the stone of cemetery blackened
By kisses and eyes with mascara
In disappointment the evening passed her
To the night with the man of broken jaw
She also sang the song for the man who
Being most demanding and yet
He thinks who is doing a favor
Her black skin was soft to touch
Who she was and for how long
I only knew that she went with the man
Of broken jaw for he was
The ultimate savior in her desperation
