FREQUENTLY IT’S HAPPENED

FREQUENTLY IT’S HAPPENED

You have obsessed the life

Like a passionate addict,

Day and night, every moment,

In your possessiveness I feel

Superfluous joy and glee,

In a dream or opened eye, the

Reflection submerges me,

Often I think, that someone

Knocks the doors, frequently

Wind breaks the delusion, in the

Portico of emotion everyday

Somebody keeps the cluster

Of jasmine, beneath the lower

Lips a warmth sensation, I walk

On the galaxy, over and over

You carry the touch of dream,

Several times in the twilight,

You lit the candles of hope and

Desire, often I wake up in the

Midnight, moon smiles in

His planet, whole the cosmos

Converts in a pause, horizon

Seems more beautiful,

As Decorated with tiny millions

Bloom in a straight line, breathing

Becomes the wind of sandal

Forest, often I sit near the

Window alone hiding your love

In the heart, looking hours

The changing colors of sky.

THE RIDDLES OF DARKNESS

THE RIDDLES OF DARKNESS

Ingrained conviction sometimes

Creates the never-ending spot,

But its life, after prolong use of

Venom, it becomes the antidote,

In the souk of planet every thing

Was available for sell, clienteles

Have had the rights for bargain, I

Saw the auction of season many

Times, nobody was present in the

Arena when autumn had emerged,

Tear drops alone advertised the

Show, audience laughed on clown,

Good days swing on the legs of

Acrobat, emotions lost in the mass,

Clapping sound have had nothing

Concern, though someone really

Wept, whole the night a violinist

Recited near the moonlit stream,

The fragrance was unable to know

The pain of heart, the frantic waves

Eroded the bank, river extended its

Bulge of flow, uprooted tree has no

Option it had looking toward the

Destiny with sinking eyes, stars had

The limited illumination, morning

Had the preset arrival, slowly the

Beautiful line of horizon vanished,

The moon had closed the window

Night concealed riddles of life.

THE TOTALITY

THE TOTALITY

That’s nimbus of your affection,

Gives the life to my quiescent

Thought, I feel blessed,

Endeavor to win the planet with

Love, however you’re silent,

Coronation by your eyes makes

Me imperative soul, I put down

All superiority, egos, pride,

Wilderness, attempted to follow

The bleeding, thorny path,

In wet cornea I have looked the

Colossal sky, a world of ever

Green spring, beautiful blooms,

A soft feeling toward the

Awful faces reminds me that I’m

Human being, gradually all

The negative energy escapes one

By one, I keep the neck over

Your lap, miraculous fingers

Creates dreams into the pores,

This your drizzling inclination,

Makes me perfectionist, your

Fidelity opens the gate of

Numinous planet, a giant misty

Flow moves on the way to

Intensity of life, kneeling

Down to praise you I keep

Aside the crown of proud, leaning

The head I kiss your delicate

Fingers and offer the compliance.
