FIRE on SNOW
There is a reason why they say hand in glove..
I’d say we loved each other very much
I don’t know what you would say
When I’m not there and you’re alone …
Small fights, Battles between us..
As clouds fight over the mountains
If lightning never struck
There would never be any fires…
We lit fires in the snow
We beat the crazy winter
We grew flowers, made a crown
The souls in love do not stop…

WHY I WRITE
I write in vain, with nothing in the basket,
Because I can’t play the bagpipe…..
Even if I write like Aesop,
I’ll have nothing in the basket again…
‘Cos my verse is caught by clouds,
Even in the light like a ruby,
A wire to play the myth-greats,
It is called Paganini concert.
After all, I will write again in vain ,
I can’t stay silent like a statue,
I can not count the tespis as well,
When I see water’s taking over the boat…
