Some statistic


Was I too far for your eyes
or too close for your whispers 
Was it too early for a moon-watch 
or too late for a sunrise 
Haven't we earned  
in the past millenniums
 of wandering
around the volcano of desire
to see the butterfly's dream 
in a blink? 
Have you count the times
when you actually mistook 
a worm for a butterfly? 
Have it ever occurred to you 
that they are 
both -a worm and a butterfly
in the same time
and neither is possible without 
each-other's existence,
but, sometimes 
they
just reflects differently in your eyes...

Was it too colorful the dream of the worm
for a simple butterflies like us?

In The Arc of Your Mallet by Rumi


Don't go anywhere without me.
Let nothing happen in the sky apart from me,
or on the ground, in this world or that world,
without my being in its happening. 
Vision, see nothing I don't see.
Language, say nothing. 
The way the night knows itself with the moon,
be that with me. 
Be the rose nearest to the thorn 
that I am.
I want to feel myself in you when you taste food,
in the arc of your mallet when you work,
when you visit friends, when you go
up on the roof by yourself at night.

There is nothing worse than to walk out along the street
without you.I don't know where I'm going.
You're the road and the knower of roads,
more than maps, more than love.

Open window


I used to know 
if the birds cry or sing
now even my own voice 
seems distant 

I used to walk in my own circle
with days
now even stillness 
makes me tired 

In nights like this
when I sleep with open window
chasing stars for my dream
you can enter as a thief
and take what is yours

忘れ物


I found the wind in my hands 
and the dust in my eyes 
that you left behind 

Tuesday, September 09, 2008


There-between new stars and old lights
I will look for the secret 
hidden from me 
as the day from the night

Here-between today and tomorrow
I will ask the same questions 
again
walking the same walk 
to the wall of confusion 

Inside this balloon of your creation
I will disappear as a bubble -
that is the law of the existence... 
All the comings and all the goings 
are inside of me 
I haven't moved an inch 
from this center 
of circling around my longing 
for You.
