Read Me My Love Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Read me my love
If you want to see
Your sketch

While writing
It was your image
Like the wine
Of the last night
Still singing
In my head
In the morning

Read me my love
For today
In my hurried movements
I posted the letter
To someone else
Thinking it was you

Read me my love
For I commented on “life”
Today
When I felt
That under the tree of life
Not only birds
But me and you
Will one day
Sit and sing

Read me my love
For I am like the book
Of thousand and one nights
And each night
The story speaks
Love of ages
