I’Am not the body

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..!
