SOLICITOUS TUNE

Riding on a piece of all time

All organs are relaxed

My eyes start to close

Beneath drooping eyelids

 A sea swells

A large canvas of unfulfilled desires

Moves continuously

With an anonymous restlessness

Hot lava flows in the body

In the mind

Prohibited, frozen whimpers

Start to sing a solicitous tune

And gradually…

The body becomes lyrical

By scattering mind-moon

DECODE

Incomplete without the river

Is a reality, known to the sea

And it is incomplete without

The waterfalls, knows the river

The waterfalls too don’t exist

Without their sources

All are attached to one another in a chain.

Not to stunt is the symbol of progress

While expansion is of advancement

Servile to desires

The image of life-flow

Leaves impressions as such

In the sphere of the Earth.

At the same time

Like the mysterious smile of Mona Lisa

The entire universe keeps striving

To decode the secrets of Earth’s birth.
