Narcissus Poem by Naveed Khalid

When oft the sun from nowhere arise,
Of what in beauty's look but you suffice,
That I can ne'er be, thy love no more;
Nor by what capacity of Poet's mind,
Methinks not in vain of thy unattend'd presence,
For what in yellow leaves of thy age-old book,
I still behold thee in youth's eternal hour;
And through such overtly seminal works,
One day that I, too, shall cease to be
Before all else fades away from thine eye,
This world alone bears witness to thee.
