UNFORGETABLE NIGHT

Do you remember that rainy night?

More beautiful than expectation,

Those delicate moments, dripping

Down water crystals, wet intimacy,

Some shilly-shallying candle lit dinner,

In that misty darkness, slowly -

Touching by you to my shoulder,

Arm, closeness of shivering lips, the

Extinct of exotic, exclusive perfumes,

Rising the addiction, armpit odors,

The winy smells with long breathing,

Going up the smoke of half burn

Cigarette, I have surprised when you

Said me “yeah, its manliness, full of

Vigor, a passionate experience to

Play with flames “that inflammable

Desires had the rare beauty, beyond

The description, it’s difficult to say

How much time consumed the

Flying gray smoke to turn the

Cigarette in particle of ashes, candle

Was melted, or someone blow off,

Mystery remained in depth of eyes,

Tuber roses might be invaded the

Solitude of our soul meeting moment,

The blooming perception replaced

The smell of tobacco, the sweet pain

Prevailed through the body to mind,

Nocturnal anonymous flowers had

Scattered on the surface, the terrace

Garden was looking more dazzling

Than ever, though it was clammy,

I looked first time dew drops in your

Inclined eyes, in the first ray of life.

THE UNSOLVED MYSTERY

Revelation of truth has a reflective

Beauty, a person needed to walk

On the thorny path, bare foot, the

Sensation of pain when becomes

Zero, cactus blooms with aesthetic

Touch with flamboyant shades, the

Short-term conflict between us was

Nothing than superlative complex,

A desire to win the universe by

The muscles, money, dogma didn’t

Work, a pure smile of love changed

The complete life, on the bleeding

Battlefield victorious king had no

Escape, before the heart he routed,

On the dead silence, the perception

Penalized millions times, he cried

With dried eyes, confessed the error,

The glow of crown was impermanent

In the darkness, he searched eagerly,

The soul rejected the dominance,

With empty hand, he left the planet,

The screams of wounded emotion

Didn’t left chasing him, innocent

Painful cry had no ammunition but

It killed him consistently whole the life,

The death in installments was the

Severe punishment, though heart

Followed the path of peace in the end,

Did he salvaged the lost soul, it’s a

Question of mystery, hidden in the mist,

In the deserted street of that

Dark night, a hobo, stranger man

Sang the mourn song in pathetic

Way, the trembling breath didn’t

Allow me to sleep, tried and tried

To get the rhythm of life, which

Floated on the air through the

Flute of that unknown man, on

That misty night, the pain of

Heart I felt first time, mysterious

Lyrics said in the life, breaking from

You was not only reason to weep,

The earth rejected I could realized,

However, why the sky turned down

The appeal for a galaxy night,
