"The deeper sorrow carves into your being,

the more joy you can contain."

— Khalil Gibran

sun-[melt]-down

А Вам я Небо напишу, 

И званый бал цветов и листьев, 

И свечи звезд не погашу – 

Ведь в сказке нужен свет их истин. 

Нужны надежды и мечты, 

Скользящие по глади пруда, 

И дар любви и красоты – 

Хотя бы маленькое – чудо. 

Еще – часы переведу 

На много дней назад и в вечность! 

― Уджал Ахвердиев

flowers! for you

Sunlight replete

Fluid abstractions

                                             in shades of light ~

Water drapery

Low ebb

At the low ebb

I traipse the rippled

Ocean ground -

reasons for being this vast

paradox state of [e]motion ―

swelling lashing spilling

peripeteia's leaving

intense elusive pervasive

incessantly persuasive

impermanent

(the one immutable thing)

and bound to return

by a single irresistible pull

of a distant

ever [r]evolving Moon

drawing near

"The essence is never the form."

Receding shoreline

Overtly inverted

Overt summer dream
in a wintry pool of thoughts ―
inverted presence.

Blazing flames

                                                                           for Iulia Flame

Sunset bonanza

Moonrise over Coal Harbour

Unravelling pattern

"If you go as far as you can see, you will then see enough to go even farther."

― John Wooden

Out of the daylong fog

Thought in a bone

Feather 

[next] to bare stone

brave thought in a bone

words on the outskirts

of what once they stood for.

Beneath my rubber boot

— squelching mud

decks the barren ocean floor —

slow bleeding the unspoken

or perhaps it's spectral 

connotation.

Rising horizon

Sunset on the hill

Blue thistle at sundown

Crackled skies

"Nothing in the world was more difficult than love." - Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez

Shaggy stars

Along the grassy seaside

shaggy stars are shimmering, at sundown.
