THE DEEP SILENCE

The dream gets down through
The orchid creeper, on the
Shrubberies, moon rests for
Some moments on the canopies,
Walking parallel to silent
Lagoon edges, we reached on the
Land of mystery, the moist
Proximity, and the blooming night
Throws the fishing net, the
Restless expression of passionate
Face, it’s difficult again to keep
Away from the wobbly lips, in this
Frisky moonlit, wouldn’t you like to
Blend the blissful submission,
Whispering wind passes softly over
The dripping leafstalk, uneasy
Tiny blooms don’t wish to fall down,
Dreamy eyes spray the extreme
Mist, how to hold up dwindling legs,
Circle of arms, addictive breathe,
Desires walk on the spiral of spinal
Chord, drowsy moon sinks into
The flying thin clouds, vivacity fills
The cavity of gloominess, on the hilltop
Smokes have risen from the
Crater Lake, a stagnant volcano wakes
Up, the reflection of the moon floats on
Scarlet lava, stubborn, dense clouds
Flown the entire night, arctic wind
Before dawn, closed the open
Windowpanes, after that deep silence,

THE UNFADING BLOOM

Into the abyss, depth of heart

A gleam, unfading bloom resides,

All the time the grace comes out

From your innocent face, this

Purity reacts magnificently to my

Life, I try to follow path of love,

Peace, tranquility, harmony, it

Gives me a diverse sensitivity, in

The inhospitable condition I feel

The startling tenderness, every

Time, where did you amass the

Beauty of winning heart, I often

Think that, the sweet accompany

Opens the entrance for patience,

The despair, gloom of life goes

Through the process of liquidity,

The series of your illustration

Moves in the wet corona of vision,

Heart searches, immensely your

Unseen kindness in the faces

Of hurt persona, in the discarded

Soul, salinity of tear drops, I don’t

Know, never seen to that icon,

However, it’s true that someone is

Ruling my body, in the subliminal,

That illumination shows the trail

In the subterranean darkness, this

Belief that you love me, never

Allow me to hate anyone, even if

They don’t follow the way of sacrifice,

I have nothing except to share

The love beyond any description,
