NATURE’S
FRAGRANCE
I am not here on Earth
To impress the World
But to freely express myself
Through my humble words!
Mind filled with imagination,
Heart full of love to share
With the entire humanity,
Reinforced by determination!
Madly in love with Nature,
I would love to find comfort
And great inspiration
In a surrounding untouched
By the hands of man!
How much I would love
To touch the morning’s dew
And watch the rising Sun,
Magically caressing the Earth
On a peaceful morning,
Swimming in a river
Of unpolluted water
While breathing pure air!
I want to go where I can
Feel the fresh pollen
Of beautiful flowers,
Instead of suffocating
Gun’s powder filling
My now weak lungs!
How much I wish
To run away from
This landscape
Of concrete and steel,
Decorated by colorful
Neon lights!
WORLD PEACE
Today, the Sun is sad,
The Moon is crying
And the stars are hiding
For down below on Earth:
Brothers and sisters
Are blindly fighting!
Created by the same Almighty
And living under the same roof,
They seem to misunderstand
And disrespect one another!
Blood and tears are mixed
With pain and agony!
Departing from divine laws,
They no longer care
For human’s values
And peaceful ways to resolve
Their minor differences due to
Lack of common sense!
Today, the whole World
Shouts aloud in one voice:
“STOP THE BLOODSHED”
“GIVE PEACE A CHANCE”
“FOR MANKIND SURVIVAL”
“UNITED WE SHALL STAND”

THE POET
Now, strongly he stands,
Completely healed:
The humble poet
With a crystal-cleared soul!
Plenty to share
Besides his honest words,
Nothing to hide or fear
And embedded with love
For the entire World!
Many wounds on him inflicted,
Many tears in silence he dropped
But, he never gave up!
Sometimes he felt in the bottom
Or joyfully on the top
But nothing he took for granted!
Inner-strength he found
To resist and bravely survive!
Coming back stronger
Like a hungry Lion!
Past buried
And heart and mind
Finally reconciled,
He finds only words
Of encouragement
For those now
Going through
This painful ordeal!
He always finds beauty
In nature and so inspiration
In all his surroundings
While still concerned
About the well-being
And survival of Humanity!
Dreams and thoughts
Magically blended,
Filter through his pen
That echoes in words,
The feelings of his soul!
