Amazing! (9/15/20240

Night has come.

But, what is this amazing burning in my heart?

I think it must be the dawn of a new day

which the eyes of the lover cannot see.

The eyes of Love do not differentiate between day and night.

The eyes of Love blind the eyes of lovers. Amazing!

Don’t Ask for Reason (9/1/2024)

At night, I turn around the city like wind.

running like water.

How can sleep overcome the one

who walks around the city in darkness?

The mind is the one who wants to have everything in order.

Don’t ask for reason or manners from the drunk.

you will find it only inside of yourself.

Because of You (8/11/2024)

You would never consider praising or loving Yourself.

But, You are so beautiful.

If You were to show Yourself,

both worlds would start fighting each other. Continue reading “Because of You (8/11/2024)”

One Moment for Me (7/21/2024)

One Moment for Me (7/21/2024)

When my Essence turns into a sea of infinity,

the faces of my particles shine.

I burn like a candle on the way of Love

so that all moments can become one moment for me.
