Paintings Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

For a long time
I had not seen
Your paintings
An argument
Abstract
Or impressionist
How to define you
But your portraits
Close to my chest
My only possession
A remembrance
Time gone bye
But today
I want to delete
Remove and destroy
Determined
Searched
In a hurry
Memories are enough
And the abstract
In the philosophy
Only abstract
The argument goes
Abstract is but
Higher consciousness
Look
We like god
As abstract
Tour portraits
And my philosophy of abstract
In delusion again
Went through the paintings
Searched deep meanings
In each shape
Am I pantheist
Yea I am
But the abstract
Is more appealing
It has no boundaries
Of time and space
It’s for me
And every one
I carry it in my heart
A deep longing
Some deep meaning
I searched in the paintings
My beloved
A fire you have kindled
In the heart
A pantheist again
The conflict goes on
But all is the name
Of one great being
The self or unself
The story of love
Every body tells
In a different way
Humanity’s divisions
Are but frivolous exercises
Search a Shams
Or follow the master
Open thy secrets
O goddess of nature
The universal soul
