A Snow-White Damsel Poem by Naveed Khalid

Acorns of rabbit holes, filled with
haystack and straw,
a shaft of green-eyed beans
outspread in leaves of autumn,
yellow moonlite of fair weather days
in the mellowing spring her night-long love;
of thought so insidious this world
against the setting sun my shipwrecked dreams
under the Archangel's brow!
first frost of falling winter snow
at my door of rosemary garden,
a table, a chair, a bed of crimson joy
through staircase window of the wall on high
e'ery throbbing beat my pulse of veneral amorous
runs in deep sorrows,
sticks out his head like a soring thumb impression
this darkly drowned enigma of yore
drifting dream amiss upon the sand dunes,
of laurel wreath thy myrtle crown.
