I watch as you weave <br />As you pull the silken thread <br />The aging hands <br />Blurring visions <br />Between the tips <br />Thumb and finger <br />Wet from the tongue <br />Bitten by the lips <br />The little song <br />For your own heart <br />The thread of life <br />In such delicacy <br />For the discerning eyes <br />Arabian nights <br />You weave and unweave <br />6/3/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thread-of-life/
