Between lines, between breaths, you will journey to the center of a poet's dream-room.

Haiku Poems

"The Elevator"

Shared elevators:

Exchanging spent breaths of air

Instead of talking.

"Summer Sun"

Sunlight serenade

Glows withing the rising dawn

To console my soul.

A thousand miles away

Colors of the summer sun —

Eating more than words.

Under cloud filled skies,

The planet recites its verse:

For the summer sun.

"Caspian Sea"

Impatient tide rides

To shore on the back of a

Bolting stallion.

My dreams of the sand

Underneath the Caspian sea

Sleeping with the wind.

Sea uses dress style

According to the climate.

Changing with seasons.

"Forgotten Ghosts"

Meteor shower

The wind burns with the silence

Of the forgotten.

Drifting in the wind

Whirling dimly through the night

On a warm spring night.

"Firangiz"

Between Baku walls,

And Glasgow’s Clockwork Orange —

The girl of my dreams.

Her exotic voice

Kissed by the romantic breeze

And fantasies bloom.

The Queen of my heart.

With enchanting smile

Giving hope to all.

Love is in the air

Soaks the earth before dusk —

Close your eyes and feel.

Beauty of her eyes,

Descend upon straps of light

Magic in one glance.

I confess my love

Firangiz is my whole world

There is no corner.

Sakura breathing…

Nothing captures me like you

In love forever.

"Betrayed by Shadows"

Darkness is real, love.

Your best friend is your shadow.

Now it’s leaving you.

Senryu Poems

"Unforgettable"

Two hearts fall in love

Walking through life together

Unforgettable.

A love so sincere

No loss to sinful wishes

Only me and you…

"Saudade"

You think you know love

Until you are bleed and hurt

The glory of pain.

Your razor sharp words

Flaying my skin red and raw

Bruising me inside.

"Chronic Lust"

She was the cure for

His warrior soul — first aid

For his chronic lust.

She was a tribal

Amazon in the jungle

Of sensual desire.

He inked his black rose

Of despair on her skin with

Each touch of his sin.

He was a ghost ship

Haunting the depth of her soul

Drowning her in love.

He could not contain

The storm within as passion

Cast its spell on him.

Beauty blushes as

It weaves a seductive web

To capture its prey.

"Jerusalem"

The Dome of the Rock

There’s a man knelt in prayer —

Connecting with God.

"Insomnia"

Not sleeping tonight

Thoughts incoherent in mind

A lucid dream gives solace.

Micropoetry

"Knight’s Move"

Man with the chess board

Eternal moves

Birth of infinity.

The serenity of heart

It comes from inside yourself

Existing in strength.

"Life on the Nile"

Under the gold sun,

Open to every whisper

My vehicle is lost.

A camel

Sharing his raindrops —

With the desert.

Sand on the dunes.

Migrating birds on a wire,

Making a rest-stop.

"Life Behind Bars"

Down between the walls

Where the iron laws insist

The dusky voices echo.

"The Carpet"

Don't let the rocking chair

And don't let the couch

Take you from this earth.

"Baku Spring"

A fragile line peeked

As the sun awoke from sleep

Stretching in the sky.

The first day of spring —

The tree trunk blooms green

Moss.

"Black Swan"

Glass black swan

On the mantelpiece.

Memory of the lake.

Lake’s anniversary

Swan tried to seek peace

In the tranquil waves.

"Like a child"

Be like a child,

Act like a child.

Go from one rose to another.

In your heart-garden

Until you find perfect joy

And complete satisfaction.

"Black Friday"

Beneath the white cloud,

Black Friday in New York.

Crowd rush like ants through the hourglass.
