I Search Myself Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

I search myself
In the creases
Of your costume
In the colors you choose
In the life you give
From down that stair
From the bend of your spine
In narrowness like hour glass
Like tulip tapering
The fall on your contours
In the hairs perfumed

I search myself
In the swan like neck
A chin like apple
In the honey of your lips
In the depth of your eyes
In the self of self
Like a branch laden
With fruits sweet
Shower on me
Your love like rain
Soft drops of water
And rainbow imagined

I search my self
In your songs
In your laments
In the voice eloquent
I read twice
I search myself
In your poems
In your words
How many others
Like me
Are in search
Of themselves
