Sadiqullah Khan Poems

I-
Mortuus fui
Vidi
Veni
...

This is the light that goes through and through
The night is evaporating eavesdropping
Finesse of the apparel, red of the lips
The milky sheen of the skins,
...

Could it be some fictional names
To the real characters and one with no legs
Could life be so harsh in treating them
Could answers be so difficult to pose
...

Beginning the day with difficulty
No access was allowed
Old pensioners were waiting
Under the tree
...

The evening’s red horizons drunken heavy gaze
On the lip like a tendril and curves of heavy bosoms
The necklace that kisses the bunch of grapes as I hide
Sweet kisses on the swan neck and antelope eyes
...

From whispers to heavy noise
My art of love as it melted
In fine connections invisible
From below the arch of brow
...

In my laziness
I started late
To meet you,
You talked to me
...

"La- Mort Subite"
Fiery Thai noodles
Egg noodles fried in hot Thai lemon chili sauce
Tapped with medley of veggies
...

The sun went down for the night to cover
The earth that lay bare in front of me
Like the face you hide for the lover to adore
The curves and lines the dusk of your beauty
...

Descent from the ancient times
Pharaoic doctrines and kingdoms
Orient had variants be it continent
Some part of earth or where the sun set
...
