The Destiny Game
Folder:
Selection from English  I have come to you from a thousand feet Crossing through forgotten memories and drums beat Hidden secrets left at the corner of fairy tales You welcomed me at your doors with carnation flowers Your carnation flowers whispered to me You have gone away across the sea Whispering eco was loud in the room side Your cactus looked at me aguishly but in lover's pride Our hands touched, hugged, explored and left The thin lines of destiny in our palms were felt And one silent question was raised WHY We have went through the same place and time Why we never reached our hands then We walked the same long way We felt the same storm pray And the same green valley In the same old place I could have seen you You could you have seen me Was it you who did not care Or me who was unfair Was our destiny is only a game Or was it time to blame © Ozjan Yeshar http://www.postpoems.com/members/ozjan_yeshar/ |

Destiny
~~~~~~~
I am a moth and you are a calling flame, oh Love.
Are you saying that it is my destiny to be consumed?
If so then I am not a Moth, but candles winged bread
My blood not blood but wine, spirit and fires fuel,
and my life, which is not my own, a smoking sacrifice
and I ernest not ernest, but a self indulgent christ.
Tell me, Oh love: what is to be gained at my death
that is of any worth beyond a flicker and orange sparks?
Oh, if but the hands of Allah could reach through
the portals of my thumping heart which keeps the beat
and pluck me swiftly from this intoxicating flame
between his thumb and forefinger release me...
back into the night to fly like vapor instead
among the soft lights and less violent stars.
