LIFE AND DEATH

Life is to become existed

From nothingness.

Death is to value everything in life

At the last moment of life.

Life is the  way

That you know where it leads.

The road is full of wishes

To press the feeble heart.

Love is to get over the fence of heart

To a near heart.

Birthday is

To approach death a step.

TO BE WITH YOU WHILE

BEING WITHOUT YOU

To be close to you is so fine,

To master to your spirit, your heart

And to be lost in the depth of your world!

But to be far from you is also fine,

To remember each moment spent with you

To be out of reach in your thought and in your heart.

You are love  breeze for my lifetime sail,

Those who knows you has no grief in life!

It is fine both with you and without you.

THE STATE OF BEING WITHOUT YOU

I see you as soon as I close my eyes,

When I open my eyes I see the state of being without you.

When I ran towards the state of being without you

With the help of the sail of grief I return to you.

My state of being without you

Is like a gulp of breath

Or a gulp of fresh air

On the way leading you.

After a quarrel with you

My state of being without you

Is a fight inside of me…
