The Death In Your Eyes Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

The Death In Your Eyes



Three decades later
Unblinking eyes
Upturned
On hairy nails and a voice
Trembling
Traversing the flesh
Of mango wood.
The friendly gesture and
Awaited…
Between them
They were looking for something
Around themselves -
A palpable darkness.
They want freshness
Of the morning
Or just sleep away.
To avoid
The death in your eyes.
