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

[cashmeeri]

(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.
 
-'To my wife' by Nikola Yonkov Vaptsarov (1909-1942) Bulgarian communist revolutionary. Executed at age of 33 by a firing squad
