Storyteller Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Storyteller



Storyteller bring words
Drenched heavier, tender.
From sweet lips of nature,
Like lute, a pastor plays.
Relieve me so that
I loosen the grip
Of troubles on me.
I savor your agreeable presence:
I am weary of my this life,
Like the painter, who after
Coloring the gold tresses;
Takes his life. I pity
Myself more than him.
My unsatisfied longing
Be alleviated by your importune.

Pathos, longing....something about this resonates with more than the Mountain Path, it is as if the pen bleeds something more than ink.
