Radiant Poem by Naveed Khalid

Lo! Las vegas lights of unattended looks
to e'ery passer-by o'er the rainbow bridge,
parked beside the clover beach,
I could see thy iron car
of half-baked masonry's night
o'er the wall on high by two lovers dead
against this world forlorn,
that bright-lit mirror of thy most high deserts:
has a hold me height in heaven's high bower,
above a funeral pyre, of snow-capped myrtle,
that day of unaltered eye in my bed of crimson joy,
apart from where you tread the mundane shell;
of furrowed fields against the harvest moon,
the farmer still works to land, day-in, day out
of paradisaical injunctions in haystack of woods,
full glorious sun of our common affairs at sunset of the evening sky.
