Why Do I Love You?

your eyes look at my eyes

your fingers touch my fingers

you smile, I’m flattered;

a simple beginning of love

because

Your love is no more than a morning

that always wakes (me) up

you open the net of my heart,

you pour the wine into my cup,

two centimeter from the bottom,

‘I don’t want you to be drunk’, you said

because

your love is no more than light that

accompanies the night

no enchant chain of words,

my words sink into your hugs

your words are foundered in my hands’ reach,

your heartbeats thunder my chest, explode but does not

scratch, ripples but does not become waves,

moves softly,

closes my eyes and your eyes in the beauty

that does not soar

because

Your love is no more than a swallow of water that

quench my thirst

you do not let my sorrow becomes cry,

you do not let my laugh makes me be forgetful,

you never put stocks in my leg so that

I can walk, run,

you never tie chains in my hands,

so that I can hold the world,

to materialize hope,

because

Your love is the blanket that calms me

you let me:

go and come in your poem

to choose the lyrics to write my story

because

Your love is the wind that guides me

you liberate me

into an independent soul

that’s why

I love you

indeed…

Good Morning, God!

I open the window,

God greets me

"what do you want today?"

"God," I said, "liberate all the oppressed souls"

God smiles through fragrance of roses

My parrot sings happily enjoying the smell

I open the cage

extend my hand inside

touch her

She looks at me in doubt

I nod my head

She flies to the blue sky

Good morning God

Thank you

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry,

I cannot write a lot

the ink is empty

I scratched the sky last night

with your name....

A Bathroom's Daydream

It might be good,

not to take notes of life

in the pages of diary book

One time,

if we read it again

sweet, makes us want to go back

bitter, makes our sorrow unforgettable

It might be good,

reflect on life

in a quiet bathroom

No need to be ashamed,

to remember, smile or cry

After that,

flush all of them

be ready to receive new food

that is better than yesterday
