All You Who Sleep Tonight Poem by Vikram Seth

All you who sleep tonight As lovers on bed entwined Remember time can such unwind And love can no longer be a bind And vows go flying out of doors As pans and kettles with rattling sounds And neighbors enjoy the bout and song Both of you make in your marital discord

Short, sweet and powerful. Perfectly crafted. Shows why Vikram Seth is among the pre-eminent Indian English poets.
