Message of Love, a poem by Asif Sultan Matta
Message of love As rhapsodic with the upsurge of love, I turn on the tap of my dry pen; The ink of blood slowly trickling Down on the paper of my prayers That waits to ascend to the heavens I make a paper boat of my hopes Only to make it float on the dry Running Stream of my prayers And be adrift to your home With the wind of my yearnings And knock at thy door Saying salaam And give the message of love. ~Asif Sultan Matta 23 September 2018
