Nostalgia Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

In my youth
And many a long nights
Discussions
And talk
About you
Your imaginations
In my head
Like wine rising
Like the drift
Of the cold breeze
Like pain unending

Every where
Your scent pervaded
Dark and sweet
A mystery around you
I could not conquer
I wondered only
And only on those
Whom had you allowed
The presence
Of your sweet company

The colors of your apparel
Red and green
Stature terrific
You always made my heart sing
In delight and enchantment
But I did not know
What you thought of me
A glance
A smile
And I would think
The world is mine

My love story
I told everyone
I lived in you
I knew what you do
Such restlessness
I drank rich
The wine of your beauty
The enchantment it gave me
I was lost in your surroundings

With nature
Identified
My past and present

But some unknown inhibition
I did not see you close
It was my enchantment
That had made you so beautiful
It was the beauty in me
That made you unsurpassable
For otherwise
Someone told me
You were not so beautiful
And later
Perception?
I never saw you again

Its better
Something remains unseen
Unexplored
For it destroys the beauty
But today
I want that state of drunkenness
That enchantment
And mystery
I am addicted to love
Can you bring back the circumstances
This time
I want to die for you
