Sadiqullah Khan - **Billowing Sail

The masts were on the edge
Billowing sail in the temporariness
Filled the air but the ideas to carry
Heavy stones brought by the rage
Bulls and horses carrying the load

Will they fall one day or still
The architect now has to see
Heaven to imagine breathtaking
Sleekness engineered with utmost
Who shall live here luck shall count

I shall cherish the cool inside you
My breath the aroma my heart soliloquy
I have lived the many thousand souls
Love shall bestow its bounty one day
I shall drink the sweetness of your lips

Time has killed the bigger self of me
As I abandon the potions of the soul
I shall have my dreams come true
To the stars when we shall gaze together
To the garden that lies beneath our feet
