Reflections In Illusions Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Reflections In Illusions

Rating: 5.0


Speak truth in the dark
Studded like stars
The veils in folds
Seven thousand in number
The penetration needed
The gaze of highest intensity
Beyond time and space

How would have the splash
And the music of water
The splendid water lily
Had the scents of jasmine
From the back of antelope
When the last breath
Before the explosion
Of the mounted masculine
That creates

The music was celestial
At the ascent
That might have had
Notes we discover
A string of rebeck
Or the hollowness of reed
Hearkened

One such note
Half breathe
Your body turned fluid
In ethereal evaporation
The dark feminine cloud
The dark womb of earth
Into smoke in waters
By beast birds in space
Like aroma of wild flowers

The intensity of love
Was the song
That leaning neck
On the shoulder of beloved
There are reflections in illusions
For the eyes to behold
Of the unseen

A striking poem, which brings the reader into a universe of sensations, from visions to scents and music, both surrealistic and immersed in a reality described dot after dot, like an Impressionist painting which one looks very close and in the following moment very far, so as to understand each moment as a whole in itself and as part of the whole at the same time. A sensual world which raises the mind very far. Great job! 10
