But Not To Fly Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Recipe of love and the mortal
You have put soul to the earthen
Of the Moses it was said
In between the palms he would
To the toy doves he would breath
Life and then into the air fly
Like the dove of Moses
To my earthen ware
With love you breathe life
But not to fly
And then into possession
A fiery struggle for the warmth
And to the flight would you leave
Life when you it take back

Holding are you my soul with strings
You make me come but remember my love
Those who from love shall never come
In perpetual pain of longing addict
In emptiness they enter when freed ultimate
Bear with me the longing eternal
Unbriddled have you the power of love
In gradual taming and with tears long
The recipe you made not use it again
Back to the world for someone may think
What a madness you unleashed by a kiss
