Bruising me inside.
"Chronic Lust"
She was the cure for
His warrior soul — first aid
For his chronic lust.
She was a tribal
Amazon in the jungle
Of sensual desire.
He inked his black rose
Of despair on her skin with
Each touch of his sin.
He was a ghost ship
Haunting the depth of her soul
Drowning her in love.
He could not contain
The storm within as passion
Cast its spell on him.
Beauty blushes as
It weaves a seductive web
To capture its prey.
"Jerusalem"
The Dome of the Rock
There’s a man knelt in prayer —
Connecting with God.
"Insomnia"
Not sleeping tonight
Thoughts incoherent in mind
A lucid dream gives solace.
Micropoetry
"Knight’s Move"
Man with the chess board
Eternal moves
Birth of infinity.
The serenity of heart
It comes from inside yourself
Existing in strength.
"Life on the Nile"
Under the gold sun,
Open to every whisper
My vehicle is lost.
A camel
Sharing his raindrops —
With the desert.
Sand on the dunes.
Migrating birds on a wire,
Making a rest-stop.
"Life Behind Bars"
Down between the walls
Where the iron laws insist
The dusky voices echo.
"The Carpet"
Don't let the rocking chair
And don't let the couch
Take you from this earth.
"Baku Spring"
A fragile line peeked
As the sun awoke from sleep
Stretching in the sky.
The first day of spring —
The tree trunk blooms green
Moss.
"Black Swan"
Glass black swan
On the mantelpiece.
Memory of the lake.
Lake’s anniversary
Swan tried to seek peace
In the tranquil waves.
"Like a child"
Be like a child,
Act like a child.
Go from one rose to another.
In your heart-garden
Until you find perfect joy
And complete satisfaction.
"Black Friday"
Beneath the white cloud,
Black Friday in New York.
Crowd rush like ants through the hourglass.
