Peacefulness

Peace with my self
Who would have thought
It stormed today

Diverted

First the storm
Then the dimness
Stolen

Disappointment

Paying the price
Of not have bought
An umbrella

Doors

The small backdoor
Became a big place
On the way out

Cards

Why bother
Writing old stories
Seven of spades

Presence

Just pick a day
And I will be there
Missing you

Joy

Enjoying the rain
As the clouds galop
Complete without you

Masks

Just pick a mask
From seas of faces
Virtual soul

Dust

Dust washed by the rain
With the gone raindrops
More dust settling in

Wisdom

Heaven and hell
Wisdom settles in
With taste of both

Flurries

Morning breeze
Shaving the blue clouds
Out of nothing

Drums

Splash splash splash
Drums of summer
Echo

Flood

Rapid raindrops
Changed into puddles
To swallow skies

Simplicity

Give me a coffee
To turn it into a cup
A doughnut’s heaven

Sips

Knots of faith
With twists and turns
Tea got cold

Coldness

Once one felt the snow
One’s mind’s aching to touch it
Far away from home

Sailing

I am the boat
Returning to shores
The waves of faith

Shards

Life scattered
Over a tombstone
One calls a heart

Hold on

Hold on to me
My words will make seas
Into oceans

Geometry

Stars leaning
In circles of light
So each other

Kiss

Two women’s kisses
Passionate in a cold crowd
Limpid prejudice

Steps

A beggar’s voice
Disrupts a crowd’s noise
Grungy old steps

Bathing in crowds
One’s steps’ muddiness
Sheer through the night

Grasps

The full blue moon
A pacing red ant
Mind in between

Walk

Tiny spider
Walking on water
Gone fishing

Aim

Start from the stars
Way down in the dark
Their light prevails

Umbra

Those hidden souls
In shades of beauty
More beauty lies

Emptiness

Lost together
In the empty space
Foregone love

Windows

A spectator
Is all what one needs
For a showcase

Scales

A cast slurred
In a broken course
Points of honor

Leaves

Tomorrow
Who knows the dried leaves
When is still spring

Jump

Looking after bus
Lost by a whisker
A squirrel’s hopping

Walks

Walking in circles
The earth deepens under feet
Till becomes one’s grave

Tenderness

Leaves touching
Each other’s blades
Fingertips

Flurries

Determined winds
Within a small tent
A heart trembles

Lighten

Short flashes
In midnight flares
Storm passed by

Flight

So broken
We keep rising
In our fall

Design

The rules one lives by
The geometry of things
Out of proportion

Moonshine

There’s no problem
A moonshine can’t solve
After one glass

Tipsy

Drunk from ideas
Of not getting drunk
Dreamer’s potation

Seeds

The man under tree
Got himself a name
From another tree

Meditation

An old master
Under a stop shield
A tree’s remains

Arch

Turned to the sunrise
To admire the sunset
An arch over time

Tendency

Born to repeat
The wrongs of the past
Spring’s almost gone

Scent

Air-sniffing
The summerlike scent
Freshly cut grass

Tenderness

A swordsman
Caressing his sword
As old friends

Play

I caught God’s hands
Playing with the sand
Clapping waves

Fade

Moments pass by
The blessings of life
Fade in counting

Distance

Between two wrongs
One looks for the truth
Or its shadow

Lost

Roads lost
In city’s lights
Such darkness

Smoke

Long time life was
A fire burning slow
Now it's all smoke

Flurries

The ways of the wind
Unknown till the rage settled
In its feisty claws

Choppiness

Puddles awaking
As the shoes walk by
Morning warm ripples

Origami

Folding the days
Over a lifetime
Broken dovetails

Anglers

Fishing for gods
To ease the hunger
Of faith

Waves

Each big wave
Brings an abyss
Of unknown

Sailing

Islands of despair
Drifting toward each other
Carried away winds

Icebergs

Walking icebergs
Loving more than shown
Less than we can

Belonging

Lead me astray
Where do I belong
Into your heart

Mirroring

Cloudy skies
Change lake’s mirroring
But not the trees

Clocks

An old clock
Waits to get broken
Tick tack tack

Passengers

With each passing star
We are closer to the skies
Light comes - fades away

Gifts

By giving
You’re helping your self
So am I

Insanity

Trapped in cages
Watching birds’ tweeting
Dysfunctional

Lightness

Stars swallowed
By the city lights
Hungover

Halves

Half sunrise
Against half moon
Full morning

Moonlight

Too small to lift
Upon her shoulders
The weight of love

Fall

Falling short
On some ideas
Of surviving

Concealment

Hidden between leaves
Beauty finds the suffering
On verge of winter

Walks

One seldom gets lost
By walking on others’ path
One seldom gets found

Blossoms

Thoughts blossom
In the spring of life
Bare tomorrows

[unnamed]

I started to see
Too late for a difference
To lit the blindness

Play

Give me your heart
And I’ll make it fall
Into mine

Share me your mind
And I’ll make it raise
Upon mine

Show me your soul
And I’ll make it walk
Towards mine

Waves

Sunrise remains
Till the sunset sets
Birth death repeat

Boxing

Putting these feelings
In all kind of white boxes
To hide the darkness

Sailing

Following the sea
Wherever it takes my sails
Just staying afloat

Bricks

Fitting bricks
To close the holes
From our souls

Away

Feeling home
Between cold strangers
Softened exile

Emptiness

Are we so empty
That we look at the moonlight
For vain compassion

Reach

We look to the stars
To find an intelligence
To overshadow

Geometry

Ordered tulips
In chaos of green
Fractals of red

Marks

Sweet cherry lips
Never meant to kiss
Window imprints

Blossoms

Cherry blossoms
Trashed by the flurries
For one’s pleasure

Undisputed

Two peacocks
Waiting for a fight
Not happening

Walls

Walls of darkness
Escaping from lights
In more darkness

Blown

Why do we love winds
When they bring so much sorrow
Blown red rose petals

Waves

Muttering waves
Grasp words one by one
What a glide

Flight

Gliding pigeon
Over station’s rails
On the wrong track

Sigh

Quite disappointed
By the awaited sunset
The clouds rule my thoughts

Steps

Bridges we don’t see
As we’re walking by
The whispering wind

Mirroring

The eyes of old
Weakness mirrors back
In search of strength

Softness

Fluffy clouds
Melting with my thoughts
Then the landing

Design

Building around
The empty spaces
Of my heart

Nonsense

Calling Buddha
For Buddha’s calling
No Buddha

Rivers

Tiny droplets
Create the river
Of feelings

Cravings

In mid of hunger

Fighting with an empty bowl

Pouring happiness

Flurries

The stirring wind
The afflicted mind
Swift movements

Innamorati

Two lovebirds
Goofing around
Of old age

Bending

Bending within
The soul looks its glory
From eyes man’s heart  

Cheat

Cheating the gods
At games they fashioned
Foolish braveness

Remains

Days’ symmetry
Reduced to feelings
Of belonging
