She Looks To Me Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

She looks to me
With the longing of a child
In a wondrous gaze
Fluttering black eyes
The chains that you want
To break are the chains
That I wear from the eternity
Hidden are though they from the eyes
Of those who see but are blind
Tongues I have placed in every lock
Of the chain and the music
The chains when they cross each other
Like a curve and lock of the beloved’s hair
Stories of the yore and like soothsayers
The destiny that I have when those lips
Reveal to me the mysteries of universe
Torn am I for the triangle I see
But love am I for you look into my eyes
Pour I the red from the heart on the page
The longer I ponder the longer gets my line
From distance you see a mountain of love
Diamonds are hidden as deep desires
Like an incarnation of the god of love
Love you cherish and you think it shall cease
Like one my heart throbs with yours
In distance far but look at the stars
You will see us chasing and hide and seek
