Short poems

Author: Fazal Baloch

Tale of a night

I wonder

If it’s a shade drenched in mist

Or sand clad in blue

Rests on the grave of my dreams

The moon

Comes sailing in the boat of my lashes

Far away

The ocean tee scrawls the tale of the night

Untitled

Let the window remains opened

Stay here

Under the bustling sky

From head to heal

I’ll slobber you with kisses

The fall

All the birds have flown off your body

‘Tis only winter

Now rests on my palms

Like dusk

I entered into the house

Like dawn

You stepped off my soul!

The collapsed night

Night has collapsed

In the eyes of a tree

Very much like the fire

That crumbles on my palms

Very much like the sun

That goes down into my soul!

These are English translations of poems originally written by A.R Dad
