During sleepless nights
Sometimes I was afraid of sleep
Because to some extent
It was like death.
But unbearable the pang
I murmured sleep !,sleep !
I did not know
When I slept.
When woke up in the morning
I felt the satisfaction
Of the sleep I had.
You are a child
Taking me above to your paradise
Embracing tightly
I  afraid of such a flight.

And you are a mother
Careful of my grooming
Chiding me often
For my carelessness
In looking after myself.

We are inseparable.

So I fear,
I should not be
Your incompetent protector
When we fall.

I feel
If accidents don’t happen
We have an excellent life.
I could be trapped in any place,
She'd still be my soul escape.
Her eyes glow,
To shine the beauty of her soul.
And if you witness the smile,
You too, can escape for a while.
I dream of your smile
upon my throat.

I dream of wine
trickling,
and you
kissing it.

I wake,
light-headed.
