Sadiqullah Khan - Before You Leave

A pyramid of goblets
Trickling wine down
Filling each
Who shall take what
And how it blends
In the blood
For the spirit
In the head
Is a matter
Of luck and chance
We move
In a dark maze

The only good happening
While finding
A way out
We meet
When your laughter
Like petals of roses
Your red lips
In between the dimples
On your cheeks
On a sad evening
When it just happens
That we talk for eternity
In a moment
Before you leave

And then all the long night
I talked of your long hairs
