That Porcelain Body Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

That Porcelain Body



I am amazed to imagine
Your body
The line and the curve
The mercury of your beauty
And the porcelain body
The ultimate finish
Luminescent
Like houries
Alas! God what have you created
The creatures other worldly
The fairies and the queens
Of immense beauty
Are there any distractions
Bigger
On this earth
And they shall leave us
Not alone in the heaven?
Only you know better
Who survives on imaginations only
And imaginations of those beauteous faces
And the porcelain body
And lost in that sensuality
Of purity
The silk of those hairs
The side glance
Dimple in the cheeks
The swan neck
And those necklines
Like the finest artwork
Those hands
A masterpiece
Of sculpture
And those gazelle eyes
Alas!
The sand dunes
The desert Arabian
From down below
The narrow shoulders
The curve of the back
Ending with the roundness
Like the closing band
Of a symphony
And the legs tapering down
And where the legs meet
Only you understand the secrets of earth
And heavens
O universal soul
And my fading youth
That porcelain body
It already is a soul
And it needs no further finish
Inner and outer
For the outer alone
Is beauty perfect
That porcelain body
Let’s end this talk
The talk unending
But
That porcelain body
