***yesterday Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

You came in my life yesterday
A lost shadow for freedom looking
Search the newness in my life
Life akin to images breaking
Without transparency opacity dark
Beauty stepped unto space wild
Yesterday worn in anguish trot
Wrenched the soul each moment past
Brand new day may the sunshine
Deep breath before the dawn

You came in my life yesterday
Intensity of vision with shine
Eyes betrayed a sleepless night
The Corner is empty for hot coffee
My canvas is small for the paint
In The Groove warm water from the tap
Signs of rebirth in waters once

You came in my life yesterday
Bruised and injured and beaten to death
To be carried to the bed this time
The messiah real in monologue
Freed shall be the disillusioned
You came in my life yesterday
Bursting with life and tapping the table
