**touchstone Of Love Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

I am born from your love
The adoration was still on the beloved
How the anchor that to the sea
Ship shall sink in storms or astray
With all the fingers of your hand
When what the needle did do
Dances in heart when seen
Her reflection she in the mirror
Worn in dust by the love in worship

What if you had not said that
To the world did when in rust
On your forehead was already
Unspoken are the tones in strings
Mysterious is the touchstone of love
That resides in heart shall know the difference

What if letters unknown from and to
Notes from under the ground
The pain of love in the chest my heart
Some chants of love to drink in holy water
Around the neck when they opened
The name of my love holiest inside
Word on earth written this or that
My heavens has many ways for the distance

Space and time are in the bottom
My cup of wine O Saki closer
Be seated from self to unself
Beauty unfolds in many colors
