Lingering Satisfaction Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Lingering Satisfaction



Yes the satisfaction lingers
Like a lull before a storm
Or like a very tired boat
After days on sail
And then
Having been brought to the
Shore
By sea winds
On its own
And without knowing
That there is an inhabitant inside
And when after a cold night
Lying in the open
A sunny day
Slowly warms
The boat
And the one inside
Heat falling on the naked body
A slow emergence
From the deep sleep of unconsciousness
Blood running in the veins
And a rise
A hot sunny day
A tropical sun
Palm trees
And the man comes out
Sleeps on the sand
Looking at the sky
That sunny afternoon
Lingering satisfaction
After cold nights
And storms
With memories so painful
But
He has survived those
And now his body
Gaining his heat
To begin
The struggle once again
That sunny afternoon
And
Lingering satisfaction
