One Sin Poem by Afzal Shauq

A wish...

That this one sin
This heart's desire
finally will drown
in my tear's flood
washing away
as wind and sands
destroy mud houses.

For I can not jump
the width of love's ocean
that fill those eyes
which keep me
forever swimming
perhaps soon to drown
in their beauty..
