NO OTHER OPTION



Destiny's cycle moves on its axis
rotation of life has its own priorities,
midnight caravan didn't wait for me,
on the bank of the Galaxy, the fair of 
dreams held at the end of the night, the
merry-go-round moved in the sky,
laying on the sand of the Sahara, my 
heart experienced the realism of life,
I have read and deciphered the words 
containing romance, love, pledge of 
living imperishable way, slowly your
finger split my hand, couldn't yell, 
before daybreak, perfume faded!
in the bookshelves I had searched,
emotion had been dried before falling
down on the floor, whining sentiments
couldn't sleep the entire night, in the foggy 
dawn, a shadow blearily immersed
for a few moments, in the empty palm 
remained only, some words of promise!
oriental sky colored the ventilator again
the sun has no vacation, a bonded service
glassy ewer desires some fresh roses,
life follows the path of rising hopes,
