Letters Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Letters



In an empty head
Eyes rolling like balls
In the dark
What were you thinking
How could have
You told me all
In so many walls
And my understanding
Going astray
I have lost
A sense of touch
With reality
Today I was not
Looking for the feel
In the bottom of the hill
I reside like an animal
Feeling heavy
I see my eyes
Searching
Looking closely
To the fire
In the hearth
On the painting
Hanging on the wall
My poems
Becoming letters
To the unknown

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Reshma Ramesh 22 June 2009

In all these dried mornings And clear untold evenings With My rambles and scribbles My laments and stories I pressed the nib to paper With my nails wrote on the mud walls Pulled lines with the chalk on the floor But I never knew My poems would be one day Letters to the unknown
