THE RING OF FIRE

layers and layers, pitch dark clouds
thunder,uncontrolled wind
together all in the provocation fuel
earthen lamp of ancient temple
a survival for the last breath
evening goes through the miles long
infinitive deep wild caves
promise to be fulfilled, any how
meeting rock is far away
thorny land, dense jungle, blind valleys
have to cross the tidal river
clapping hands, the invisible faces
preparing to throw the stones
mysterious,poisonous smiles
every where, in this merciless universe
face the chalange,the ring of fire
the cross over the final destination
to hug the beloved
be ready for the fire baths
proved homself the twenty four carat.

the negative album

all the shining faces vanished, one by one
promises hanged on the wall
mistakes some times alter the reality
every one performed excellently
the spell bound acting is ended
no more clapping, zero stage, empty chairs
lights off - - - deadly darkness prevailed,
eclipsed all the myth, an emotinal hypothesis
bleeding moments, broken chandeliers
melted candles, flameless inner fire
fumy sky, dissolved moon,
the negative album-- a broken easy chair
an image extinct before the development
a person died before the midnight,
just keep some floral lines on the coffin

may be artificial -- once you loved me.

endless -- search

two eyes, languages less


something searching all the time

on the rail tracks, besides the roads

on the ruined temple stairs

...just searching all the time

human, inhuman, some use to laugh

on her, some feel sorry

summer, winter or rains

two eyes weeping persistantly

but no tear drops-- unvisible stream

seismic memories, people say her- mad

commenting is the easiest thing

i heard, she belonged to some

aristocrate family,son is in america or

in london, i dont know exactly

what is lost -- how to say

silently she searches on the earth

some times towards the sky

endless -- search

the riddles

neither you asked nor answered by me
i do not know, how it happened
an unseen relation between us developed
without the meduim -- strange -- but true
i feel your presence in my individuality
an image often moves
silently around the my shadow, i confessed
someone merged or
its the waves bringing me away far away
oceanic blue sky becomes suddenly
mosaic art of renaissance era - - -
leonardo, picasso, micheil angelo --
often sitting in the midnight together
my living room becomes the art gallery
i feel, they talk only for you -- i found
myself in athens, sometimes in florence
the crowd of question marks
chasing the days and night - - -
beyond the definition, a feeling is growing
like a cilmber creeping, on the body, mind,
hundreds desire erupt in a tiny moment
the agitation wants to drag me in the
virgin wilderness -- the purity refuses
to accept the submission --
who cares, the whirpool, the cyclone
i am the moth -- the short life, just want to
die in your arms, the endless passion gives me
incarnations.

lost pages

after a long, dark, alone, journey
looked back my inncent days
hiding somewhere in the country side
died that tiny stream in the summer
and turmoils in the rain
foot prints disappeared
no one remember forever
times heals every thing, a process
in natural way, images, love, hate
relations deposited in the heart,
its difficult to eras the primitive arts
centuries passed no any change,
vibrant wild flowers still bloom
hot wind brings the winy fragrance
a channel of fire goes
from one end to other --
mountain ashamed to cry
silent night looks more beautiful
necked rocks becomes ugly
in the light,
precious, fragile memories
makes wounds untreated
in gray shades on the secret place
some other rainy days
please turn over the lost pages.

precious moments

in the region of your existence
a magnatic field react the full life,
a traveler forgets the path, roams
around the starry - - magical eyes
please keep enclosed emotion, tonight
let to be grown more sensation
tonight let me to divide in particles,
love me extremely over the expectation
a long separation bring us so closer
let live in this precious moments
and die jointly before the dawn appear
dissolve whole the planet in a touch
my persona wants to melt in you
as iceberg sinks in to the ocean - -
the summer gives the chance to the blooming,
release all the desires, -- let seeds to be
germinated, tender leaves want to touch
the blues -- give the new meanings
the love beyond the discription,
a divine feeling, delighted the heart
please do not remove your face
from my dried chest -- just keep your
eyelases on the thirsty lips -- let me
submit all the flow of passion
as two unknown rivers meet somewhere
and become an individual giant wave,
flowing towards the horizon
let go, away far away, holding hands together
in that point - - - the ever lasting night sustained!

a vacuum

a vacuum is prevailed
around the individuality
whenever you left the space
felt myself unfamiliar among
the friends, murcury less mirror
golden frames without image,
an agitation of feelings, wants
to revolt, the moon looks pale
the charmless object - - - - -
in a moment the sea becomes
the miles and miles arid land,
the invisible flames, sky turns
suddenly an inferno -
whole the night, endless burning
moment converts in decades,
sleepless eyes, night passes with
heavy steps through my chest-
an affection, everlasting love
do not allow me to die,
waiting for your re- presence
i prepare to face every day
as a new life, again and again

extinct moments

magical full moon
moves slowly in th silver blue
night birds singing or calling to
each other, difficult to recognize
the mysterious beautiful night - -
reflections asked many questions
answers are crazy
no permanent shelter
roaming in the land of tuber lilies
gypsy thoughts want to settle down
somewhere in the dreamy island
do not ask the introduction
just sit down the nearer
no expression, no discussion
tonight i want to walk
on the lunatic path of moon rays
wilderness will break the limit
tonight do not go away
just to closer to my heart
i have been requested to the morning
just wait in the horizon
till our return
from the unknown land of passion
the flowering valley -- every where
desires are blooming in masaic colours,
do not release me tonight from
your ocean  deep  eyes, just hold my persona
in your gorgeous encloser - - - keep
my emotions on your delicate lips,
as a rare moments i want to dissolve myself
tonight in everlasting love.

it s destiny

the dogmas were white clouds
and reality, contradictions
dreams are under the shards
the procession passes, organized
hired slogans - - - jay ho - jay ho
the forced adaptation another
origin of new exploitation, innocents
in the margins, raising the hands
the hands are empty, as eyes
the chest - - inspiration for the
contemporary art, cross lines
skeleton remained for beautiful
poems, progressive writters
the celebration whole the night
just tag a stamp on the forehead
backbone less man, i have no regret
for that , it s destiny - - -

the reincarnation

 the reflection of your love,
makes the full moon more
magnificent and closer to
the heart, the emotions
are hidden into the nectar
of night lilies, wants to move
through the nerves to mind
the strokes of your beauty
conducts the experiments,
bit by bit till the widespread
of my body feels the sensation
an unknown compulsion
makes the night heavenly,
my desires depart the layers
as petals unchained its
drowsiness to get the moon
light, droplets of honey dew
i feel, breath, your existance
in the each body parts - - -
in proximity, i relinquished
the masculine, egotistical feel
i love my defeat in your arms,
because the conquest appears -
in your face, and says me
the life is short for an endless
love - - perhaps, the reincarnation
is possible, to love you after demise
i do not know !
