The One... (8/28/16)
The One… (8/28/16)

I am a slave and servant of the One who takes me to His soul,

The One who makes my garden and meadow green.

He shows me to the world and makes me famous in one moment,

Then changes me to one without name or fame in the next.

A Lover’s Heart (8/14/16)

Revolves around cold, frozen people.

There is such a giant sea inside a lover’s heart

That its waves make the sky turn around.
