Poems That Just Get Away
Poetry that just comes out of nowhere
You don’t need to give up
and worry about the madness that has just come to you,
then rush away to get to your house.
Maybe, you never doubted it,
but seventy full moons is so long make you lost like:
in the grasslands at night, so don’t worry about the poetry
just slipping away because, he has found himself in other stories

At the end of the Dagger
Cry, Under the sun
There is no longer any hesitation to
Run the grass stumbles in the man’s
Tripe.
Really, on the edge of a dagger
The eyes have no love anymore

To you
To you, read all poetry
So you can understand all the
Stories there.
But, please don’t grow it again, it’s
Painful for it, let it grow in new Fields.
Because, all the stories
The long ones
Now it’s just a prison
For rain and sun.

Waiting for the Moon
Waiting for the moon
So much missing there
Along with a soft echo in the chest
And the tears that fall
Over and over again.
The stars are coming
On mountain peaks
Next, are you
Take it for granted
There’s all the dowry
You have given it.
Perhaps, as radiant as a bride
Only for the moon and stars
Then I miss the shady lake of your eyes.

Memory
The branch broke
Shed a tear.
Fire burns in all shapes
Then dissect all the feelings,
And I was amazed to hear your
Words “the moon is lost in Memories”, then In vain do flowers
Hug each other intimately
Because he disappeared behind the clouds.

Silent After Night
Subtle rustle
Knocking on the door of my heart
Like wanting to ask for it back
The light just goes away
Even if the birds sing later
And the rooster’s crowing will
always come to greet the morning.
