My Vigils

'I'm more than ready to embark on my paper plane for ransacking the galaxies, plucking the stars, and embroidering them on your eye-lashes... Tomorrow I'll set sail in my paper boat for stealing the glittering sands, filling up my pockets, I'll be there for rainbowing your garden-croft you plant with care... I'll make the woods jealous of me by rejecting the arrogance of the wild roses blossomed in their native virginity there; instead, the paper flowers I'll make for you and on them spray the perfume I carry in the un shed, un spilt bucket of my love... I am ready! By: © Shahzia Naqvi
