Winter Scenery

 

Remove the rainbow from the cloud

Leaping the snow to the street

The cloud put on the white curtain

on the day and on the night

 

The white shining of fate gets Baku

The city wearied on bride dress

Birds talking about winter secrets

on the snow early in the morning

 

“White flowers” scattering

desert-straight petal as petal

Snow tracery on my window

Star as star, flower as flower

 

Iicicle one by one

as earrings of the tree

The sea comes up sleeping

from the breath of nature

The first smell of love coming

 

The heavens send blessings

dumping snow on the ground.

It needs Sattar’s drawing brush

for painting of this winter scenery

 

You Wrote A Letter

 

You wrote a letter,

No breath, no smell.

In any of the lines

There is no voice of your heart.

 

You wrote a letter

reluctantly, desperately

Without the pleasant words

How did you send it?

 

 

You wrote a letter,

unfeeling, senseless.

My thoughts so wandered

I was left without sleep

 

You wrote a letter

 As a stick of the blind

scratched the land

as engraver….

 wrote tombstone
