O ravisher of hearts <br />For the treasure <br />Far and distant <br />If I <br />Had not found <br />Closer in my heart <br /> <br />If I <br />Had not kissed <br />The softness <br />Of those lips <br />Had not beaten <br />My chest to mourn <br />Not tasted my tears <br /> <br />If I <br />That rebeck in hand <br />Had not sung <br />Flying free <br />If the beats <br />Of the music <br />Had not <br />Put me in raptures <br /> <br />If I <br />In the moonlit nights <br />In your remembrance <br />With cups of wine <br />Had yet not <br />Abandoned senses <br /> <br />If I <br />Had not placed reason <br />On your door steps <br />If unreason <br />Was not my creed <br /> <br />If I <br />Was still <br />Asking for more <br />When like rain drops <br />Your love <br />Poureth on me <br />8/4/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-ravisher-of-hearts/
