In Search Of That Face Poem by Afzal Shauq

Mirror...
haunting my mind
dreams possess
revealing...
one face.

Every time
Its the same face
lifetime's face
reflection
not mine...


So I touch
over again
with great love...
now mind etched
that face...

Often asked
relationship
answerless
just a thought
that face...

It was fate
that on one day
mirror drops
and that face
shattered...

So I search
seeking that face
every girl
here's my heart..
cup begs.

But these girls
shards of that face
maybe the eyes...
perhaps a nose...
soft lips...

But the whole
the one I seek
that one face...
will forever
elude.
