No mendacity in these poetic words!
Great gulls swallow great shares;
pigeons live for a better future!
Flowers drift down a river, head resolute
However tall a fall is – its
crushing course may grind them into liquid;
Flowers can become aromatic molecules
No matter how insignificant
Among the leaves decayed
Nothing’s here forever to stay
An’ found no reason – to be
missed an’ longed for...
Or maybe one day,
Deposition will fill the sea
Ocean will become so shallow
Everyone may cross it on feet
On the healthy silt that
inspirits every seed
Toward nutritious vision in the fruitful
landscape;
Farms are planted upon the silt
they received
Where weak is the meander far from
the peaks of chaos:
Tide an’ Torrent devoted to erosion;
Thought and dream flowing into a titillating
stream modestly,
May them be weaved into a deft delta
Triangular and diamond as poetic
words!
The sun should remind the quicksand
an’ immature soil
How nothing stops in the same
space an’ time;
The whole universe flies through the
infinite obscurity;
2.
Reality is just ‘life & death’
Poets hate war, given life to the
truth
Soldiers hate indecision, given
life to the people
Let some leaders decide what to
do,
Given life to YOU;
But they may fool!
Depends on the mood at the time
you read, poems may appear good or bad – meaning your mood changes the poem you
read. But good poems can change your mood and idea for a moment. Great poems
could change your view of life forever.

[Get some chips and feed the gulls and pigeons together and
find out. It’s not a socialist motto. There are intellectual gulls.]
