5 Winds

My left hand has five fingertips.

In old stories, 4 winds cross earth, and universe.

My right hand counts five fingertips, too.

I’ve been writing letters, that’s all.

My signature

I learned how to write.

I learned how to read.

All in my advantage.

I know the first letter of the alphabet

and the very last one, according to modern ways.

I understand how to listen to a story

when it has been told, more than two times.

Because I think twice when I made a signature

once, for a whole human race.

I type blind and act blindly

while silence of the wind is a guidance.

It is silent here and everywhere, somewhere

because a writer’s block does not exist in my vocabulary.

A whisper has been heard.

It was a man. He has a silence in his ears.

I can understand, it sounds beautiful

and it does but someone has to tell you,

a writer and an author do write like a poet.

1000.

And another 1000.

A million. And a billion.

I learned to walk.

10. Thousand.

I learned to fly.

100, trillion.

It was a mistake.

A cuckoo clock strikes another hour.

Lantern

Lantern

A difference is, between a lantern, an umbrella

and a name. No difference, is.

A human brain is not made

by light but by another substance.

A lantern and an umbrella need two hands

but I do not like to share my love.

A name has been told by some old old legend

and I know that you’ve forgotten about it.

People in a country have one luck

when a poet lost her mind…

A woman has been known a knight;

she holds it, All by her human nature!

Misty mirror

Misty mirror

Suddenly, I saw it.

I was able, to see it, All.

It was not easy.

It was hard.

To make a next decision.

The name was given

but I gave another direction, at least.

I have been looking in(to) my mirror

but I did not see the beauty of her image…

A face appeared to stand next, to me

and by the way, I did not see or feel, something else.

Do not think, it was easy.

At Last, all that it gave me

will be given.

A mirror is just a reflection.

It is a woman.

She started.

It is a girl.

She began.

It is a human.

She writes.

It is a poet.

She quarrels.

It is an author.

She lost it.

A small light

A small light

It was a small light, that night.

It was a small light, during that night.

Do not guess, how long time

is a part

of happiness.

Do not think, too long.

It is a small light, old ages.

Small lights may have become stronger

because that’s how it works.

Do not mention, the importance

of a small light

which stands by a small light.

Fog

Fog

A white fog exists in my green meadows.

I used to walk there, cycle to school

and running for time.

I never wandered

because a wonder has been wondered.

Fog exists because of small, little and fine drops of water;

I do not see but smell.

Most of the people are afraid in circumstances,

environment of times of fog.

I feel comfortable within fog

because when it seems to be clear,

I know for a long time,

it may be foggy.

By far

Signals were, are received by other signals.

It is normal, not regular

but kind of peculiar and particular.

I love the silence in the night

when I listen to the ticking of my Clock,

on the white walls.

The Sun disappeared for half a minute.

The Sun became grey, for a little while.

The Sun, it disappeared, half a minute.

Clear nature

It was All given in my hands.

It is trusted.

I did not ask.

The most beautiful light has not been shown.

It is all written.

It is more than history.

It is the love of my soul.

My body is an answer by nature.
