DESIRE OF MOONLIGHT - -

do not be gloomy in such way, that 
not even reach the moonlight 
in your threshold, at least 
there should be a
little opened 
spiracle,
otherwise the midnight dream will 
return without knocking the 
door of eyes, which has 
passed away, that 
has been a 
history, 
in the shadow of memories, life will 
face suffocation, just open all 
the emotional skylight,
the delicate vase
looking 
so hebetate without the cheerless - -
flowers !

NEGLECTED DROPLET - -

do not ask me about the missing 
droplet of eye, alas ! that 
couldn't get a refuge
in your heart,
just spill
down,
and became vapor in a moment,-
do not ask me the desire of 
my love, it remained
non-luminous,
'cos, it 
couldn't touch your soft emotion -
just scattered on the sand 
dunes with pell-mell
way, couldn't 
ever 
became pearls, don't ask about- -
my poetry, which I had 
written for you,
every 
moment, they can not ever be - - 
published, just remained
submerged into the 
hydrous vision 
forever,
