The kiss that had once on the cheek <br />In youthful joy as the first of the gift <br />Of bridal delight when life was to show <br />Echoes of love in the reflections <br />The mountains and springs of beauty <br />The music I had learned emanating <br />From those chords and the sound of cradle <br />The beats in nature from my very past <br />It still puts me in rapture when a note <br />Similar in character and pitch divine <br />Of the many memories written <br />On those hands were the passions of love <br /> <br />Like Marry to Jesus or my creator <br />Has the creator been created it is asked <br />For the glory of the woman who on earth <br />In majesty the creator herself <br />Her eyes were like a shining jewel <br />The way she would sing me rhymes <br />Prince of her imagination and fantasy <br />I slept in the velvet of her lap <br />From under the holy book from evil <br /> <br />I am a part of thee in thy bosom <br />Nourished on thy blood and thy milk <br />Nourished on thy love and compassion <br />Nourished on thy prayers and thy hands <br />Nourished on thy door on the last kiss <br />Nourished on thy presence thy discipline <br />Nourished that in heaven we would be <br />Nourished for me she said the prettiest <br />Nourished on the love my eyes sought <br />Nourished on life in bounties I had <br />I shall also nourish from the spirit <br />The soul that thou shalt enlighten <br />All the times like thy soul itself <br /> <br />(Dedicated to my mother, on my visit to her in hospital) <br />27/3/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-a-part-of-thee/
