Poems

by Noshi Gillani

Please bring home a souvenir when you return from journey
Bring your exhausted feet and the butterfly wings

I am writing a story about your companionship
If you can please bring a good word

I hope love will not drain us
Try to find sparkle in romances

If you visit the fairyland then...
bring a sculpture of beautiful faces

In passion for a journey you have left home
but please bring some sorrows in your spirit (damun)

we survive in strange surroundings
If you have written love, bring wet eyes.
