If existence
Is life’s disaster
We’re miracles

A fast rocket
Through Danube Delta
Above the waves

From non-being
The universe came
Into being

The Black Sea
High waves crashing
Against tetrapods
The Black Sea's rage

Sky’s immensity
So many great minds beholds
One mind grasps the sky

Finitude
Before my mind
The bare infinite
Untouchable
Span
From the depth of me
To the width of universe
Rhythm governs change
White Night
Sharing a sunset
As one mind to the other
The sunrise awaits

Divine
A cup of lime tea
The universe before me
Same divine essence
Emptiness
The emptiness
Of human nature
Absorbs the sky
The Mooncat
A cat walking
On the rooftop
Half moon rising

Reverie
Lost in the deep blue
From my childhood’s dreams
With you in my mind
Starry Night
A bright starry night
The leaves in wind’s caressing
Sound like rain spatters
Theater
Two marionettes
Taking a warmless dinner
Long-dusted screenplay

Dreams
Waking up mornings
Hoping to fulfill a dream
A dream in a dream

If
If words could change
The image of me
Time worths writing

Marching
White swans marching
On foggy waters
A black swan’s grasp
Stillness
A horse galloping
Fallowed by a fast engine
Countryside’s stillness

Afternoon Nap
Between silver clouds
The sun loses itself
Into a deep sleep
Rainy Days
Moon’s lonely cry
Into august days
A chant of love
Friday, August 21, 2015
Rainbow
Rainbow's curving
Under the blue sky
A lightful bridge
Curves
Sky’s curving
Under the light
A rainbow
Magic
After thunderstorm
A rainbow shows its magic
Nature’s revival
Reverse
Raindrops leave the pond
Raising high to the heaven
The clouds dissipate

Sinful Years
Fallen snowflakes
Touch plumtree blossoms
Early spring’s sin
Semantics
If late winter
Or an early spring
A tree cares less
Freedom
Where chaos ends
And order begins
Freedom is home

The Cat-Box
A curious cat
Jumps into an empty box
A moving cat-box
Moonlight
A passionate moon
Stumbles between an asp’s leaves
Drunken by beauty
Tango
On the rings of life
It takes two for a tango
Passion within rhythm
Sunset
A purple-red sky
Scattered between shades of blue
A cloud on fire
Memories
Moving with the wind
Between ocean and mountains
Scattered memories
Smiles
A simple smile
Can break the silence
Or ruin dreams

Green
The summer green
Glitters in the rain
Touched by thunder
Fishing
A carp awaken
Into a stinging nightmare
Arches in the air
Feathers
Colorful feathers
Left behind by the summer
Estranged memories

Blind Spots
Ignoring people
Just because they are different
The blind side of life
Egoism
One speaks of heavens
And cherishes all wisdom
But forgets to live
Praying
If one speaks from heart
The sky will hear the praying
Even when silent
Goliath
Anchored in the ground
Upholds the celestial vault
A giant oak tree
Sweep
A squirrel crosses
The pathway between raindrops
Gracious twists and turns
Waltz
Umbrellas move
Through the falling rain
Waltz in the wind

Luggage
Dusted suitcases
Move along the crowded streets
Carried old luggage
Emptiness
I felt an angel
Touching my soul in her flight
Deepened emptiness
Devil's Choice
Avoiding unknowns
Certainty is the devil
That lingers within
Disturbed
Disturbed hearts
Candid feelings
To extremes
If
If I ever loved
It was a pure dream of love
Perishing with years
Deception
On the dance floor
Between clashing realms
Deception rules
Winter Blossoms
Ice flowers blossom
In the morning’s warm embrace
A pale fire lingers
The Way
One walks the way
Not knowing its reach
One has faith though

Truth
Distant truth
A mind’s mirage
Far from heart
Fusion
The whistling wind
Joins the whispering fire
Two breathes as one
Love
No fuel can burn
Like the scent of love
Dissolving hearts
Welcome
I welcome the mind
That can accept to vanish
In the midst of love
The Messenger
A nightingale
Voices in heavens
Sound song of love
Patience
The laws of nature
Laugh at man’s lost innocence
Patience prevails force
Dust
One targets the stars
Until one becomes the dust
Falling from one’s dream

Sips
One presumes to know
The wellspring of one’s knowing
A glass of water

Compass
The moral sense
A compass for storms
Pointing the light
Musica Universalis
Candles fill the sky
Carried away by the wind
Sounds of the spheres
Wisdom
From wise or fool
One learns to be wise
And when act fool

Teardrops
The rain spillovers
Into a sea of wind bursts
Heavenly teardrops
Wild Roses
Fields of wild roses
Spread over the Red Mountain
One settles to one
Magic
Cutting an onion
Tears flavor the well-cooked food
A smile brings sweetness
Boxes
One escapes a box
To find other bigger box
Nested illusions
Strategy
The dragon confronts
A tiger stalks behind trees
Masters of terror

Control
Man raises dams
To stop sea’s fury
Then typhoons come
Walls
Man resists change
By building fences
Around own thoughts
Distance
A war brings distance
Where none should ever exist
Disconnected hearts
Balance
Two dragons fighting
One pushes the other pulls
Moving in circle
Existance
I create
Thus I exist
In my art

Haiku
Condensing words
Limitless grasping
In expression
Parenting
A parent’s wit
Is to make kids grow
With pairs of wings
Falling Stars
Far beyond the Earth
A soul’s looking for a star
To find its way home
Duality
A mountain moves
With the rushing streams
Still remains still

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Whether we see
Monsters or angels
We will be right
Limitless
Amazed by greatness
A human mind’s grasp extends
Beyond its limits
Travelling
By mind we travel
From sun to the end of times
No limits one knows
Trust
Without trust
Humanity’s
A lost cause
New Chapter
Beginnings
Harder than ends
Baby steps
The End
Each verse a story
Depicted in a journal
Here comes the last one
Possibilities
What would have been
One never stops to question
Too many answers

Patterns
Parting a world
Into known patterns
Leaved out unknowns
Stairway to Heaven
The old pine tree
Candles reaching high
In stairways
The Long Way Home
The long way home
Through short distances
Brings us closer

Broken ships searching
The wind to carry them home
Each blow’s a bit hope
The Pack
The wolf one feeds
Finds home in one’s heart
With one come two

In other’s darkness
One can find a glimpse of light
Searching its way out

Remembrance
All his soul wanted
Was a bit light for the mind
An anchor of love
Remains
Each soul a story
Broken hearts discover love
In others’ remains
Stormy Days
The storm in her eyes
Froze my feelings in midair
A lightning seems near
Epigraph
Here lies a dreamer
Who saw all life as wonder
Back after a nap

Stories
From book to book
Searching for wisdom
One finds stories
The Lighthouse
A heart awaken
Lights the pathway through darkness
Lighthouse for others
Fast Asleep
Asleep between words
Worlds move into each other
The wine was gentle
Heat
The golden sand feels
Bare feet faster than the wind
A fish cooked slowly
Wednesday, August 05, 2015
Pretences
Words can be weapons
In the depth of cyberspace
Masks with hidden names
Change
No change is real
Unless perception changes
Ponds need fresh water
The Fool
Never knowing love
A fool takes each smile as real
Misère happiness
Charades
Time plays charades
Souls merely playing
On world’s big stage
Shades
Observing the time
Going with the summer leaves
First shades of autumn

Enjoyment
One new book
Two wine glasses
Till midnight
Old Wine
The old wine whispers
Its years spent in oak barrels
I share its freedom
Nudity
I have tried to lie
The truth in front of people
Bare words seen as masks
Nightlight
Between mountain’s tops
The sky’s a moving nightlight
My kaleidoscope
Monday, August 03, 2015
The Thief
A handful stars
The sky uncovers
The town’s a thief
Success
Chasing a moment
Life flows between one's fingers
Beauty's felt in nows
Grayness
Between white and black
Grays flourish in multitude
Dualities trap

Scars
No scars are deeper
Than those made to each other
Lost humanity
Saturday, August 01, 2015
Meanings
It’s not what’s written
But what’s left out from a verse
That changes meanings
Transformation
One feels like a cloud
Pushed by the wind in the far
Settled in raindrops
Change
A heart touched
Never turns back
It moves on
Momentum
Waves gather strength
To touch shores’ vastness
Then disappear
Becoming
To become a tree
One has to be first a seed
In nurturing love
