when darkness had taken over
and nothing was in sight.
I was lost in my deep sleep
fancying in my erotic dream
until a thing woke me up
like some little murmuring screams.
I felt hands under my pillow

यो रात, आउदा पनि ऐंठन हुन्छ
त्यो दिन, धाँउदा पनी ऐंठन हुन्छ
के गरू, कसो गरू
सारै गारो हुदो रैछ

You read me like a story
You find errors and flaws
You fail to embrace my imperfection
You try breaking my walls
I got eyes deeper than the ocean
I got smile wider than the sea
I might be an incomplete ve...

“You’re so fragile”, he says, grazing his hands over my breasts. “We should try and sleep”, I tell him.
“We should”, he says kissing my neck, “but I can’t stop touching you”.
I’ll never tell him this but I like when he smiles when he kisses.
My neck receiv...

finally, he spoke words of love
What she craved to hear all this time
His tears were unspoken words.
That was falling freely tonight.
But she remains silent, her hand frozen

excerpt from the sun and her flowers-poem by rupi kaur
मेरो भगांकुर वरिपरिका
कपाल जल्न थाल्छन्
प्रत्येक उप्काइसँग
म खुम्चिन्छु
पिडाले काम्दै
