THE WANDERER

Heart is wanderer don’t want to

Stay in one place, hills, canyon, and rivers

Surfing continuously on the air, on the

Flow, as fanatical waves eroding the

Stones, gravel, pebbles, sand, caves

Exposed emotion is polymorphous, shun

To affix with fussy element, it doesn’t

Know dissolving, just moves from one

Awning to other, flower, thorn, wilderness

Oasis, lake, sea, sky, and entire cosmos

It runs and runs behind the thirst, dreams

From where, why you calling me, I’m

Liberated soul, a naked truth, a crazy wind

Don’t try to trap me, confine me, in the

Passion of love, in the physical need, let me

Release from your life, my heart is fragile

Don’t hold in your compacted palm, let it

Fly as pigeon in the blues, leave it as

A cascade, flow of wild rivulet, wings of

Butterfly, it has its own planet, free from

Fences of all relation, open land with

Evergreen blossom, artistic rare creation

Colors and color, the world over, no birth

No death, never-ending emotions existed

Here, all the time it smiles, moves from

Zero to cosmos, you couldn’t see my

Body, it’s transparent, indistinct, and

Wordless beauty don’t try to follow it,

Just let me live with my way, bare spirit

Nude character as an infant inhales first

Breath, without any contamination, geed

My heart wants only purity, completeness.

LOVE ME AGAIN

Lit the candles, silently passed the storm

Lift the eyelashes, let scatter the moonlight

Roses, goblet eager to touch your dry lips

It’s time to share the smile, just overlook

The broken wave’s destiny, don’t turn the

Beautiful face, twilight depends on your

Glance, let me revamp, restore the pieces

Of love, what passed, have been the past

The present is before you love me again –

The flourish wild trail would be come back

Again just wait for next spring, don’t say

Anything, about the reason of breakage

Journey, I was forever in your persona,

You realize, you loved me again, its render

Speechless, often it has happened in the life

We think something, destiny’s desire to be

Different, after a long severance, we meet

Its moment to live for each other, promises

Are made for broken, but love doesn’t fade

In the passion, step sometimes miss the

Edge, but this is not the ultimate, coming

Back on the track says life is beautiful –

Kiss me, hug me again, feel mature affection

Mineral gone through the furnace, prolong

Ignition melted the egos, the glows became

Brighter, in this salient juncture, don’t be

Wordless, just include me in your life –

If mirror is broken, it’s better to replace it

The cracks are foe, teases the reflection!

Let beautify the frame of life with new

Floral dreams, lift the wineglass, sip the

Emotions lay before you dearest friend.

THE DEPTH OF HEART

They do not want know, the depth of heart

Apathetic their eyes to see your teardrops –

The world has its own precedence, nobody

Has time to think for other, bitter truth, we

Have no other way to accept the reality of

Relation, the morning has to recognize the

Difference between evening and existed sky,

Dreams, imagination, seasons, wrinkles of

Face, lines of palm, kisses, affection of body

The allocation of pleasure, pledges to die -

Together, memories couldn’t changed the

Isolation of life, in the twilight I found,

Mirror is asking me the cause of loneliness!

How to explain the realism of life, it looked

Me only external, reflected the ray of

Multicolored smile, inner gloom remained

Untouched, unknown, the flowers gradually

Replaced by pod of seeds, fruit has to split

Shadow chases the image at once sun raises!

The rules of nature doesn’t accept the

Amendment, your efforts couldn’t avoid the

Sun to sinking into the depth of sea, we have

To wait for next day to see the aesthetic sky

Night’s darkness, dissolving moon s beauty

Nocturnal blooms fragrance, your presence in

The life, all together do not allow me to cry

I just desire to love you more than before

The feeling of contentment says it’s too short

Life, heart wants to move toward the -

Mysterious planets, galaxies, unfamiliar faces

A voyage, an adventure, a passion to search the

Meaning of life, discovery for new horizons - - - -
