I am not the body you want
A torrent of compassion
Hides the stones and thorns in my stomach
Blesses with tides
Besides the flows of your lives
Manifests many forms
Submerge your ponds of tears in me
Touches your tongue like a sweet drop
Which dried up in the thirst of life
Stop your wandering
Of physical pleasure
Look into my mother hood
Find your faces like babies
Walk holding my little finger
I will take you to the galaxy of stars
And satisfy your hunger with my breastfeed
Don’t admire your skills of
Catching the curves of structures
the fish of beauty and temptation
Widening eyes gets me
Many pearls of solace
In the sea of friendship
A cool lap of moonlight
When insomnia affects your eyelids
As you are tired due to the journey in the desert
I will shower on your eyelids like a droplet
Sing a lullaby like a sibling
Bestow upon you
The sparks of sunlight
Like a warm dawn
Apply a bandage to your wounds
Inculcate courage in you
Wear an attire of dreams to you
Make you fly into new worlds
I am like a transparent crystal
Don’t crumble either a shady tree beside you
Or me into pieces
Even though
What can you get in the bags of skin
Except the traces of your birth places
I am not the body you want
I am like a fragrance
Which gives breath to many flower gardens like you
I am the personification of womanhood
Which entangles you in my heart..!
