In abolition of freedom


My love,
Even if you set me free
I’ll be known as your slave
Forever.

Kunaer


In the cold lonely nights of foreign land

You are
The only poem that fires my Kangri
The only name that warms my Phirin

Seasons in love


My love,
Such autumn in your eyes
Forces winter within me

Smile
And I will believe
All the rumours of coming spring

Coldest night


My love
Today was the saddest day
Tonight is the coldest night

Tonight,
I fall
Like December snow
Like false promises of the moon

Tonight my love
Cast some different spell
Conjure some other magic
Even your smile tonight
Can’t cure the pain

Tonight is the saddest night
And nothing of hope is left


Tonight,
I am an orphan dream
No one dreams me
On the cold streets of hope
Except me

Tonight,
Like the lonely traveller
I sit by the fire of burning past
Tonight,
Like the dying farmer
I love the rumours of happy spring

Infinite ground


My love,
Broken clocks don’t stop time
Broken hearts don’t stop loving

I love you beyond the limits of time
Far beyond the recurring meeting of days and nights
I love you beyond the comfort of your approval
Far beyond the spells of your bewitching beauty

I stand on infinite ground
I exist in your timeless dreams

Twin soul


I feel it when you breathe hard
My heart is entwined into yours
We are the twin drops of two different rivers
Both merging into same sea of pain
We are the twin stars of two different nights
Both intensely lonely as the moon

I feel it when you dream fear
My sleep is entwined into yours
We are the twin lamps of two different streets
Both leading only to one place
We are the twin souls in two different bodies
Both living a single broken dream

I feel when you feel
I am entwined into you
We are one to the other
There is no other to one 

(Dedicated to someone whose nightmares became my nightmares and whose happiness became my happiness.)
