Are both eyes
Fluttering their wings?
Both eyes flutter their wings,
Firecrackers burst in my eyelids!
A dream in the heart
Draws the chariot forward at dawn.
Isn't it a day of love?
On this date, I too
Am just what love left behind, girl.
Come to me, my love!
Both my shoulders are a cradle for you.
How did a rock slowly
Turn into soft wax?
The moment I saw you,
How did my soul blossom into life?
You fell like rain.
Like a firmly set nose stud,
A heart that never wavered,
Just because you looked,
Surrendered today.
Why did you turn into a storm?
Like the resonance inside a conch,
I long to hold you within me.
Like a flash of lightning in my eyes,
Is the sound of your image blooming.
For soul to speak with soul,
Girl, love is the only language.
Is this a blessing?
The body yearns for blessings and swoons,
An illusion that pauses and sleeps in your arms.
Is this mere pleasure?
Around the corners seeking sweet pleasures,
Fingernails leave traces of art.
Both eyes flutter their wings,
Firecrackers burst in my eyelids!
A dream in the heart
Draws the chariot forward at dawn.
Isn't it a day of love?
To whisper sweet stories,
Kindle the fire of your lips.
Like a phone buzzing softly,
Tease me right beside my ear.
I will melt and lose myself completely.
The body she possesses
Is like a lush green grove.
If touched by your lips,
Like a path stained with henna,
I blushed completely red.
In my slumbering dream,
A theft takes place in your name.
My night swoons in romance,
As your heart spies on me.
Will they come down to watch this,
Ten million moons in the sky?
Is this a chill?
In the cold hour,
As the shivering body curls close,
In the hearts of both of us,
Lies a thirst as deep as the ocean.
Is that the gentle morning ray?
When the first morning light brushes against us,
It is time for their night to go to sleep.
