Last letter


After everything and anything
That world could say or do
My love,
It has come to this only

You and I
Have to die
Doing
What we do best

“Love each other
Unbearably.
Incessantly.
Eternally.”

Metaphysics of love


In your love
I am the universe

In your love
I am an atom

In your love
World is a living metaphor of God
And 
We, the similes of each other

Tonight, I am Gaza


Tonight, my love
Don’t love me
Tonight, don’t!

Tonight, don’t tell me
The pains of our separation

Tonight, don’t show me your tearful eyes

Tonight, don’t hold me back
With your sweet voice

Tonight, don’t ask me to dress my wounds

Tonight, don’t remind me of our dreams

Tonight, don’t sing songs of our love

Tonight, just stop!
Stop!
My love, just stop

Tonight, I am Gaza

Tonight, let me fight
Die
Tonight, let me die
Fight

Love in exile


In exile, love is a different magic
Its spell is unlike  

Your eyes are mystic
Your smile is sorcery
Your hands are hypnotic
Your touch is trance
Your lips are mysterious potion
The spell is unlike

In exile, I have become so small
You shrunk my world into you
Now
You are my only family I live with
You are my only neighbor I speak to
You are my only home I live in
You are my only lawn I play in
You are my only garden I rest in
You are my only dream I dream

My love
In exile, love is a different magic
And your spells are unlike

The story of my death


Death is a brooding thought
A firefly in the dark
I think it
It vanishes
Somewhere inside the labyrinth
Of my head

Death is a culled flower
On my careful palm
I smell it
It dissolves
Somewhere inside the capillaries
Of my chest

 Death is a story
Handcuffed to my life
It searches me
Every moment
Somewhere inside the fabric
Of my time

Someplace
Not far from the place I die
I know
I am
The death of death when it reaches me
I am
The end of story of the story of death

Purana sweater


Tumhara
Pyaar mai buna
Purana sweater
Aaj bhi

Judai key sard mausam mai
Mere badan se
Purani yaadon ki tarah
Besaakhta lipat jaata hai
