Japanese Cherry

Me stays with me
Every time other passengers stand up and disappear
Leaving their shadows on the opposite seat…

Me reads to me
Every time my eyes give up torching
Throughout the corridors of countless pages
As if wading to deep cellars allurement of which
Is the promised unconsciousness,
Another form of sobriety.

Me colors me
Every time light beams within fail
finding a glossy finish outside
to reflect on freely.
Stitches purple dresses for me
Every time It feels cold
While touching the bloodless shadows.

Me speaks to me
Every time I miss badly
The fruitful conversations I had in the past
With those generous people
Who are now possibly under the risk of extinction.

Me invites me
For velvet evenings
Every time I get forgotten by those
From whom I least expect it .
Then hands me Japanese cherries
Playing a song from Lady Billie
Tenderly…

Mirage Talks - I

Able to release the angel laughter from the invisible ark lost in the deaf Earth?
Able to catch the feather of Pegasus before falling to the hungry Earth?
Able to tie colorful strings around the fingers of the most precious dreams? Able to save them from drowning in the seas of the forgetful Earth?
Able to sow words and reap the meaning on the lands of the illiterate Earth?
Able to blow yourself out onto the galleys of the stagnant Earth?
When a fat , black cloud sits heavily in your chest?

Redemption

A friend of mine suggested once that it would be better if I stopped running after things (in this case a better job if not my dream job) that I desire to get. “Stop chasing your fate, then things will find you and come to you easily”. I can’t help imagining now silver platters in the air for everybody, flying smoothly each routed to different destinations. I think fate is way intelligent that there would be no need for traffic lights to avoid crashes.

The times when Fate and I agree on making peace (actually he is always cool and peaceful, I am the spoilsport and bitchy one) I promise him to be more patient, more mature. He gives me the feeling of contentment in return. I can’t help questioning now if autopilot can be used as a metaphor while talking about him...

Bob Marley is alleviating my worries today:

What else is there?

Baffled! Stopped!...

But still, I have to eat, sleep and talk to others...And be one of the registered witnesses to life...

hummmmmmm....

Humor and Music have found out that they were siblings.
Watching Humor’s face, Music recalled her orchestra.
His 32-smile was as shiny as her 35 white keys; and his constantly moving eye brows were as agile as her bows. Moreover
the dance of his wrinkles had the same rhythm as
that of her strings. ..
Now they are assured that they were born by the same creator whose witty song is the universe.
