Your bed, my desire
Your embrace, lighting fire.

Your eyes, my gaze
Setting our bodies ablaze.

Your love, I relinquish
Your touch, my only wish.

everyday I go to sleep
flowers grow on me
like they grow on graves,
sensing death bit by bit

midway in my dreams
I wake up to pull them away
maybe I still see life in everyday
I'm too fertile,
like the cracked open soil
eaten by worms
qualified to become a good flowerbed
with tinge of salt and warmth

what when one of these days
I sleep with no feeling of grief
and lie down welcoming
the smell of poppies and lillies?

everyday I go to sleep
flowers grow on me

-

बिस्तर नहीं है तो क्या, नींद तो है

-

I hug the other half of my bed
while sleeping,
so that your absence
doesn’t feel alone at night.

-

Before marriage,
Our bed stories.

After marriage,
My bed stories.
His bed stories.

-

Darling,
You drink me like
Bed tea drinks safety.

ग़र मै चारपाई पर आराम कर रहा होता

तो आज ये चराग़ मेरे नाम से ना जल रहा होता।

She went to bed
With the pillow of his thoughts .

She rose from bed
By the clock of his memories .

-

Alone and I start to notice
The cracks on the ceiling
The need for heater
And the same bed we shared
Is larger than before.
