My Babel Tower

Silver raindrops, the sky cries
On this mirror maze,

Lonely I feel, even if
My reflections are all around me,

Sad and empty inside,
Building a Babel tower,
With these mirror bricks!

The gods fight me,
Sending down a storm,

I fall...
And so does my tower of dreams...

Shards of mirror,
Shards of my reflection, in my skin...

Cruelly Pure

Swan like movements,
“Swan Lake” melody bursts out in the air,
Slaying it with the greatest ease!
Beautiful in white you are,
So beautiful and pure,
So beautiful and rebel at soul!

Mute swan until death comes,
Wing shaped flames burst in my soul,
Slashing it with amazing grace!

Yes, Love burns slow,
Love crawls inside,
Cuts you so deep
That you’ll forever remember,
Never regret!

Beautiful and cruel you are,
So beautiful and pure,
So beautiful and rebel at heart!

But then they fall again...

I am walking on a path of poetry petals,
Why is my poetry tainted with
Your kisses,
Caressing each petal of mine?

Rain starts, all the poetry
Is washed off those petals,

Land Of Innocence

Nightfall in my childhood,
Memories of my future send
Their scent in my mind...

My life and my feelings now?
A knife through my heart,
Sins that torn apart
The once-innocent mind...

The moon’s glance falls over the
Garden of my childhood,
There, where beauty is still untainted,
When I was as fresh as the morning dew...
I remember those feelings so well,
I keep them hidden in a safe place,
Locked inside my heart!

I believed then in the snowy-egret nymph,
I thought she came to me at night,
And carried me above the water
