DREAM WITHIN A DREAM

Cross perforation isn't new for me, since
the entire birth, life slept on
the bed of prong, on the
burial ground or the
dreamland if
heart and
mind
becomes atrophied, exhausted, it -
hadn't option, just a moment
after laying on the rough
surface, eyelids fall
At the end of
intermezzo,  
the
desire to spurse the precious gem -
studded crown on the forehead,
nothing was wrong, it's a
different matter that
times have given
the crown of
thorns,  
your love wasn't a mirage or rare
object, the bet was very simple
related to corporal, you
reached, achieved!
May be satisfied
for certain
extent!
But is it the conclusion of life or, the soul
desires endless horizons,
the reason to live wasn't
so simple I know, here
unquenchable
emotions
have
multidimensional expectations, your
love has a solo interest, my vision
beyond the sky, as multiple
the reality, a planet of
kaleidoscopic
dream within
a dream!

OLD MIRROR WITH NEW LOOK

Nothing is changed amid us,
as usual, the unceasing
bridge remained in
the depth of
heart,
tho' year is passed on its way
of the serpentine graph, 
sometimes you've
forgotten to
open the
door,
perhaps sometimes, I couldn't
be heard the knocking
sound, however the
flow of emotion
remained
as
usual mountainous stream - -
there's nothing here to
account, just clean
the old mirror
with new
hope,
the blooming valley is waiting
for you - - that's the life's
real essence - -
