[Reader-list] Sometimes I’ll come when you’re asleep

[cashmeeri]

aditya
 
it is the story
of all separations
 
rare sightings
rarer visits
tentative
fearful
 
fearful of discoveries
fearful of being discovered
 
should the eyes
kiss
or weep

When I read these lines..I thought of my birthplace too.. It was Rainawari,
incidentally.

Sharing a Video of what remains of my Rainawari -

(received from an amazing personality, Autar Mota, whom i deeply admire and who identifies these sentiments with his homeplace RAINAWARI in Kashmir)
 
Sometimes I’ll come when you’re asleep,
An unexpected visitor.
Don’t leave me outside in the street,
Don’t bar the door!

I’ll enter quietly, softly sit
And gaze upon you in the dark.
Then, when my eyes have gazed their fill,
I’ll kiss you and depart.
