Speak truth in the dark <br />Studded like stars <br />The veils in folds <br />Seven thousand in number <br />The penetration needed <br />The gaze of highest intensity <br />Beyond time and space <br /> <br />How would have the splash <br />And the music of water <br />The splendid water lily <br />Had the scents of jasmine <br />From the back of antelope <br />When the last breath <br />Before the explosion <br />Of the mounted masculine <br />That creates <br /> <br />The music was celestial <br />At the ascent <br />That might have had <br />Notes we discover <br />A string of rebeck <br />Or the hollowness of reed <br />Hearkened <br /> <br />One such note <br />Half breathe <br />Your body turned fluid <br />In ethereal evaporation <br />The dark feminine cloud <br />The dark womb of earth <br />Into smoke in waters <br />By beast birds in space <br />Like aroma of wild flowers <br /> <br />The intensity of love <br />Was the song <br />That leaning neck <br />On the shoulder of beloved <br />There are reflections in illusions <br />For the eyes to behold <br />Of the unseen<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reflections-in-illusions/
