My Birthday Rose Bouquet 

(our true story of love)

.

My husband and I had to separate for a while

because our career paths. On my birthday, 

I had to take the train and meet him

on the bench, where we kissed for the first time.

But a terrorist attack messed up all plans.

Four hours I was stack in the cart.

I felt with my heart that he is with me.

Finally, the moment came. I was in a paradise! 

In his strong loving arms were the bouquet

of wilted pink roses and I. They witnessed how 

our lips locked in a long-lasting kiss. Wilted roses

witnessed our passionate Birthday night.

Poetry Has Perennial Dna

.

The first poet on earth created a verse when

he sensed the rhythm of this divine universe. 

Since then, in his cave, a hut, or a den 

the sound of a verse, a song, a pleasant refrain

was created. The call-and-response with clapping hands,

or tapping feet, became a way to entertain.

.

Carved with chisels, rolled in papyrus, painted with clay,

under divine moonlight and the whispering sounds of dancing waves

words were created, in enigmatic way. Reading mystical flames,

shamans and oracles casted powerful spells for love and success.

So, if there is a poet, there is a way

to create. In fact, poetry has perennial DNA.

The Colors Of The Mid-Night Breeze

I carved my celestial violin

from the full silver moon

and it raised crescent tonight.

I made the violin’s sparkling strings

from the stars’ rainbow glimpse.

.

I polished it with a magic

rainbow dust of the Milky Way.

I tied a bow 

from luminous spinning quasar.

Then, I’ve got the ruby-red tunes

from the galactic nocturne. 

.

The clouds dropped 

shimmering curtains from above,

dancing a silky waltz. 

And voilà! My divine violin tonight

plays nocturne intertwined

with all-colors bliss

of the sweet mid-night breeze.
