The Love-Rose

Give me a rose
I will give you all my force
I know you are the strength of my heart
The blue lagoon and the azure sky
The seagulls beautifully make the link
Matching the environment of the sea and the heaven
I know you remain always by me 
Like the seagulls 
Who does not like to fly over?
Or float on the waters?
Years after years throughout the long future round
The generation must read the way in the twinkling stars 
And can dive deep into the water of the scented rose.

Living in a Circle

I'm wandering in a circle
It's my globe, a globe - like circle
My neighbour came out and asked me
"How are you going, dear?"
I replied with a long sigh
"This is my world getting smaller day by day
Filled with dust from every side of the space
Evoking the past on the spot by the way
I like to think, wander and play
I like to sing, write and recite
Though nothing is certain for performing well
I like to do some more
Being loved wandering in this circle."
