BOOK OF POETRY

Imagine the day of justice
The time is quiet and infinite
Nobody can be seen anywhere
The desert-fish flies in the sea of sand
A vast emptiness touching the doomsday
Nature trembles fearing the fog.

Look closely, a poet stands alone
In the north-eastern horizon
You may think he holds his fate in hand
But I swear that God knows
It is his dearest book of poetry.


FREEDOM

I read and write in my own language
I learn from the school of trees and plants
Even the ants and birds understand my meaning.

Just as King Solomon understood the essence of grasshopper
As Buddha knew the rewarding of man based on his karma
All animals seek freedom and the religion of venting their opinion.

I am walking after putting my two lips on words
I am swimming on the words all through my life.
