Laugh In Silence



Laugh In Silence

Whenever the sun brightened

above the hills

i open my window

and with great feelings

I say:

Good morning Dear friend

I say good morning

with my heart beating,

then words tumble down

from the high summits

small and shy

then grow and grow

such as snow soccer

colored and bright

like the rain arch..

************

How you are far from the eyes?

and close to my heart

Dear friend

Whenever remembering you

laugh like a girl

running in the fields..

Hide my mouth with my hand

and laugh in silence

laugh and laugh

and see your warm

honey colored eyes

through shrubs

also laughing in silence

*************

Excuse me my friend

Have you been waiting for long?

The summer dust

fill the place,

i'm a lonely daughter,

and it's my duty everyday

sweeping the house courtyard

very soon will be the time

for the afternoon tea..

There beneath

the old pine tree

the family gathering will take place

They will eat and have fun..

************

Are you tired of waiting

Dear friend

Please be patient

we will talk in the evening

wait for me after sunset

the kid will sleep,

and parents will be busy

watching the news.

You will see my windows widely open.

I'll tell you all about

my wonderful stories,

and you'll listen like every time

until the end

Hear without fatigue

*************

And you dear beloved

Is it not your turn

to read your poems

and recit your verses

and feed my soul

with the golden love wishes..

You don't know my friend

how much i'm tired,

and how iam exhausted

Dear beloved

just tell me

when the moon will rise again

just tell me

when the flower will bloom again..
