Said To My Love At Last Poem by Mohammad Younus

My past! all dead, blind, deaf, and mute!
And yet it seems alive...
...trying to rise from dead!
Causing tremors in my heart!
The strings of my lute are quivering!
I drop down on my knees...
...to my frightening past, imploring!
Please, don't come in my sight!
Please don't spoil my present!
This said, I wished my past to go out of my sight!
Once, as a friend: now my cold enemy in winter!
Sending chills down my spine!
I am fixed now with my friend in spring!
To come and touch my head with musical winds!
A divine thing!
I've been aspiring for him since my remote past!
I longed for this friend divine impatiently for a long time!
This my friend! ... the sun's light and celestial music!
Dear, I love thee; and I sink in your musical tunes, and awesome light!
God's presence lighted on my present!
This done, He said: my dear!
I have been shining on you in past as well!
But you were sitting cross legged with eyes closed!
I am thine! You are mine!
And so I woke up, and opened my eyes...
...with my heart beating too fast!
And thus, O Love, your musical touch and sweet words have unveiled to me...
Your face! My True essence!
This is what I dared to say...
...to my Love at last!
