The day I loved thee <br />The day I have forgone my will <br />To the whole world I turned my back <br />My face towards thee <br />I am all praise for thy beauty <br />Like a devout wanderer in search of self <br />In ultimate destiny finds the goddess <br />The goddess of love <br />And the last sighs for a kiss divine <br />Put the hemlock of thy love aside <br />Killer art thou for in search of myself <br />Drunk am I from the bounties of thy love <br />Hold me dear for I am the reflection <br />In the mirror of thy beauty <br />Deep in my heart a desire springeth <br />Like falcon I have wings to fly into distance <br />In thy remembrance in my dreams my love <br />When I woke tears flowing down my eyes <br />One moment of bliss I wish <br />For the holy waters of thy presence <br />I shall drink like wine <br />For thousands years my yearnings <br />Thou respondeth yet thou art <br />So near and so distant <br />11/10/2008<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-near-so-distant/
