rain comes and wets nature
dogs, cocks,...

the third floor of a six-storied building,
silent room of three family members,
father, mother and a son

the son corporate job holder

rings out.
Vartan turns over
and looks at his wife
safely on the side of the bed

Our present is dark and  full of sorrow
And fog is blocking our view of tomorrow
But your fate and mine are intertwined

 Melancholia of past raves disappear heat drenched haze
 footwear absent psychedelic conversations to shift a score

Your balmy reams with angry portents roll
A bleary tempest o'er your tranquil plains doth roil
Blackened tenants perch on your billowy shoal

Whispers in desire as fingers cross,   
Thresholds flaunting the soft lewd curves,
Yield, fruit drops and body preserves.

Considering its strict principle of full execution
being its major peculiarity, especially when handling a task.
It discharges dominance which makes weather’s thought go blank
to thrill climate in rejecting...
