Reasons To Myself Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

There came
An insidious feeling
Like visiting the abandoned house
The winds for sounds of echoes
In the hollowness of eaten up life
There again by the stream
That has not been revisited
By any water
And the ducts
Have lost all the habitat of fish
Then moved up and down
Like breathe inside a living body
And without caging it in
It comes and goes
With the stopless beat of heart
Have you ever seen
The sun going down
In utter despair for what it has seen
During the day
In the cold afternoons
Need it be that I enter
And become so much a part of you
That beauty in any form loved and betrayed
I look for reasons to my self
