From The Dust Of Man

From The Dust Of Man

A Poem by Arif Aslam

I dreamed inside the framework of a quiet echo 
As my fingers touched the quill of your soul 
I hid behind the clouds so no one would know 
Of my lonely walks within no man's glow 
 
 You gently untied me from pastels of blue 
From an embryonic womb of darkness 
You gave me to sup of morning's first dew 
Soothing lost edges as no other could do 
 
 You took the nightscape from inside my head 
Your sun-thoughts cloaked my apathy 
In layers of strawberry, silks and red 
You spun every dream from smiles of thread 
 
 I climbed upon the plinth as you held my hand 
You bade me follow across flawless fields 
The windows of time became beads of sand 
As we walked away from the dust of man

Nice write, it's mysterious and thoughts provoking. Strong imagery with many shades and colors. Well done, the last stanza took me away.
