I WISH I WERE A GUSH OF AN AIR
If I were a gush of an air
I would have flown
With the dare in my strength
And arrive at the doors of your soul
And enter;
Enter paying less attention
To your cruel stares
Your hate
Your nonchalance
Your fairs n unfair
Everything-
Because I know
You’d never let me in
So I wish
I were a gush of an air
I would have stolen
A thousand kisses
Not only on your face
But oh yes
Your stony soul
And it would melt to butter
With the touch of my lips
And in my heart
A thousand butterflies would flutter
With ecstasy
But no,
You won’t know anything
Because
I’ll be a gush of an air
That you would love
To have it reside on your skin
As it’ll bring warmth
And compassion
That it deserves
And craves for
When the outer world
Is so hot and cruel and cold
And absurd-
How sweet would it be?
That I would be ruling
Your majesty’s skin
With all my mighty powers
Piercing through your unkind cells
Tearing all the curtains
Deteriorating all the walls of distances
Killing your pride
And I can tell no more!
Oh My Beloved!
I can tell no more
Of the feeling of me being breathed in
I’m cherishing that trance of
Journeying through your throat
And making my way to your veins
And getting mixed with your blood
And becoming your very own part-
Oh how strong this desire is!
HOW STRONG!
Can you not discern my love?
Can you not see me falling apart
And getting worst?
Oh My Beloved!
How about softening your brutal heart?
And taking accounts
Of your cruelty towards this
Very disoriented soul of mine?
So that I would not
Just be a gush of an air
But a whole lot of clouds
Raining over all the delights
And blessings of the worlds
And extracting
The entirety of torments
And distresses and troubles
And grieves
And all the wreckages
And rubbles
That would ever come in your way?
Oh My Beloved!
Just one wish
Just one desire,
Soften your heart
And bless me with a little corner
In your kingdom
Or I would warn you
With the passion of my heart
With the depth of my feelings
With the strength of my pen
And vigor of my words
That
I would stab my soul
And kill myself and die forever
For you
Because yes,
I am obstinate
And inflexible
When it comes to having you-

Desire wonderfully expressed, Rehmat. And let's face it, who can not breathe that gush of air in.
