Because of You

An extremist is always avoidable
Yes; nowadays I am addicted to you!
O Love

In me the thoughts of you are poisonous
I know my addictions are excess
Excess anything of necessary is poison

But I do not know what’s heaven
I do not know where’s my goal or who’s God
Love for you is everything in me

When I imagine heaven 
Then it seems to me- the heaven is beautiful,
Eternal peaceful because of you O Love
If you are not with me heaven will be hell

In the seraglio of heaven
I am the sepulcher of any hate

Let me come to the caravansary of heaven
Let my serenade be the seraph for you
Let me be more addicted to you
Let my heaven be more seraphic
Because of you let me be poisonous, extremist of love

To Drink I Make

I was born there
in a naive village
now this is my city
I walk on the city path

now I walk by the royal path
like the mouth of a hungry child

there suddenly the piece of onion
shows me the path of cost living

I'm in the bed-sheet of sleeping child
the biting cold of winter drives me to a winter cake

dogs are very happy with the street fire
barking they are very much in the cold of the night

withered mouth feels grief
no food for the hungry belly

the light of lamppost in the tempest
speaks with twinkling stars daily

no dream, no desire I have
I walk and observe my life

moon speaks with her beloved
and makes the dragonfly her dove

no caravansary is near to my walking path
no hard drinks I have

walking path is very long
rightly I think I need to drink

I buy the letters, the words, the sentences
by my whimsical thoughtful press
to drink I make by these all some poetry
everyday surely I pursue the life of dignity!
