Loan
Holding hands you walked
One night and a dawn has passed in the street
One day has passed in the tamarisk groves
The loan that you have touched my lips.
You have given me no chance to pay it back in this life.
The Dream of Buying
Such a difficult day. Yet, I wrote you in the dedication part
Keep well.
The sound of the bombs, breaking down is going on somewhere
The locality is of farce.
The dream of buying sweater in this winter has gone in vain.
