I would have not lived in you <br />Had I not given you the breath <br />Feelings in the cold bronze blackened <br />Had I not given the smile on its lips <br /> <br />From the grammatical personal <br />How could I have been in such a distance <br />Your pride in bearing a detached poise <br />Unsoiled from love you would how <br /> <br />To the duckling I left asking in my palms <br />Warmth of breathing life into her nostrils <br />I picked and left but I did not pick her to fly <br />In the balloon lighter than air through thread <br /> <br />Infinity saw flight of freedom left alone <br />Pink in dark and white clouds and hope <br />We connect through not just talking <br />When I cannot make the stone wall talk <br /> <br />Don not see the narrowness from where <br />From the rocks grow junipers tall in the air <br />I walked in abandon in the court of mud <br />You had been my host behind the curtains <br /> <br />Not dreams when all I see is amazing <br />Humble I go to the bouquet of flowers <br />How can I not be that necklace like moon <br />The I that hangs on snow clad hills<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-i-2/
