Comfort Zone

She sailed into my life
Like a fresh pink rose bud;
Tender, fragile, delicate.
...

You repose in your tortoise shell
Your perfect comfort zone.

Let’s have a pillow fight.
...

Upar se khushk,
Andar se narm;

Thori si sehmi,
...

Let me press my seventh sense -
Upon your cardiac desire,
And transcribe -
Your each pulsating beat
...

When did I ever intend
A vicious power game?
When did I have malice
To make a single claim?
...

When I perceived you
As the way you ought to be,
I groped -
Searching in front,
...

My Love,
Teach me – how to make love
So that
When we merge into one,
...

I once met a person
Of profound knowledge
Wisdom and experience.
...

In the guise of a father
God came to me
He knew I needed help
He let out his index finger
...

Soy una roca endurecida que
soy un blanco me levanté yo
soy una abeja
soy un océano del tranquil
...

In a magic painting book,
I tried conjuring up your image;
With hues of transparent tears,
And brush strokes of gentle poetry.
...

Rimjhim barasti ghataaon se saawan,
Jaise kehkasha mein lipti jazbon ki ulzhan.
...

Hazaaron khwahishein unsunee,
Tere mere darmiyan;
Hazaaron bandishein unkahee,
Tere mere darmiyan.
...

I fathom every secret
Of your tender heart’s desire,
And utter all you want -
To hear me say;
...

I chanced upon a mirror
Along a boulevard - less travelled;
Picked it up,
And held it before myself,
...

Scanned the whole world through,
Never found a second self -
Who hurt me more than you.
...

In every rendezvous –
With my scorched, ruminating consciousness,
I endeavour to excavate the stifled “me”,
Amidst a mound of endless creepers -
...

Jhulasti dhoop pe bikhra
Baadal ka dilkash saaya;
Hawaaon ke pankhon par utrey
Boondon ki haseen pariyan;
...

On a beach of love-sands
I strolled lazily
Collecting red crystal hearts
And pocketed them
...

You peeped into my room,
To take a sneak preview-
Of my wedding night;
And vituperated
...
