Deception

A world where 
Reading between lines
Is a child’s play.
To have it all
Just can’t be a winner 
But a grandmaster.

Love Could...

Love could return us the rest
Of delicious fresh air like a child reading at first
Literal world of live words would do!

the love of my life

My dad

My dad with his dark hair
Is in his room.
He is touching a Qur’an
And he is reading.
I am watching him
From the door.

After Reading Some Chinese Poetry

Wandering freely,
Cheerfully pacing the void,
Coming and going --
Even candles in the wind
Briefly shed light on the path.
