THE CORRIDOR

From here goes the corridor

Toward to absolute truth of

Of life, a route to consistent

Smelting the egoism, proud

Omnipotent character into

Ash, lowest temple staircase

Washes burnt bones, pieces

Of red flesh, nucleus point of

Corporeal proud, river has no

Discrimination, king, beggar –

You, they, and me everybody

Has alike destiny, the beauty

Of heart remains only in the

Pages of memory’s album, as

Sky leaves teardrops over the

Lotus leaf, on the rosy petals

Before the dawn, it gradually

Puts down the night robe, mask

Sun absorbs all the darkness,

Venom, addiction, gives entire

Emancipation, as soul flies near

The horizon, together the white

Swans, no one knows ultimate

Destination, it flies and flies -

Leaving back clouds, stars, moon,

Flowers, fragrance, passion

Love, hate, repulsive, gorgeous -

Faces, familiar, stranger, priest

Underneath planet looks some

Colorful bubbles, it laughs, no

Attraction, no interest, cipher -

Feeling, nomadic winged creature!

THE IMMORTALITY

Inscribe some wet emotion on the rim of

Wineglass, leave few fingerprints on the

Smooth periphery, let remain a slight

Respires on leftover drops, later than –

Give me the half-empty glass, tonight heart

Desires to feel you in nerves, blood

In the cells of soft tissue, you gaze me in

A way again that synthesis of passion

Will travel as subversive boiling waves -

Under the infinite depth of ocean, it flows

Invisible, but creates beautiful fogs on the

Surface of hilly, blooming, magical islands

Keep drowsy face on the bulging chest

Love me further than wilderness, tonight

Let say good bye to earth, across the

Sphere I heard that a planet is subsisted

By means of transparency, ease, releases

The mysterious, everlasting flow of love

In that world nothing has concealed,

Nobody carries the outer layers, complete

Nudity, aristocracy has no space,

Camouflage life is forbidden there, every

Person has to leave the false acting, an

Extreme devotion has to be follow there,

However, that’s not a mythical land,

No deity, no divisional lines, simply two

Elements rules the entire terrain, he and

She, apart it nothing any hypothesis, theory

Let go on that genesis point to get the

Authentic meaning of life, love me in that

Way tonight, to touch the immortality.

ON MY WAY

Let me live on my way, I’m willing to go

Across the odds, myth, man created rules

They cannot prevent the venture of

Winning the heart, in the filthy congested

Narrow lanes, among the revulsion

Faces I found life, hideous, secretion of

Pain calls me to love them, the lotus stalks

Hyacinth roots, the blemish planet,

I feel their image in the algae merged lake

Moon has assured, to lit them with

Beautiful milky ray, heart wants to hug them

Love them, keep their wounds on the

Lap, spring is not bias, generous rain eager

To outburst on the infertile terrains,

In the distressed faces the booming smile

Wishes to share unexplored flair, here

Dreams want re emerge lost beauty

Sun has no prejudice it desires to swallow

All the darkness, I wish to go trough

In the path of neglected, abandoned world

I feel suffocation in your luxurious arms

Let me release, don’t need any name, fame

Identification, I love to see only smile

On the discarded faces, junkyard made by

Society, in the brothel, casino, dance bar

Unknown faces wish to bloom like you and

Me, lesser destiny’s creation screams in

Night, the flame of abdomen, circumstances

Of life is harsh, everybody loves his life

Everyone looks the dream, but condition

Forces to sell the body, hope, an unwilling

Compromise unfolds the reality, but soul remains,

untouched entire life with restlessness -
