What love hast thou inspired <br />In loud laments I sing <br />The goddess of night <br />With the tinkle of music <br />Slow and slow <br />The book of love <br />The visions slow <br />For yet another night <br />In the nest of love <br />Like Heer* adamant <br />For eternal breathe <br />In the open skies <br /> <br />Hidden is not <br />Once you wear <br />The cloak of love <br />Like a monk <br />To the monastery <br />Step in slow <br /> <br />The beloved in dance <br />For the body bends <br />In the distant wilderness <br />Love celebrates <br />Sans rituals <br />When the costume slips <br />Down the mounds <br />The silk of her love <br />The zephyr in the night <br />Under the moon <br />Lit the fire of love <br />With vintage wine <br />And her bending body <br /> <br />(*Heer was the legendry beloved of Ranjha, a love story) <br />16/1/2008<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slow-and-slow/
