This is not the end,
This can’t be the end

You are covered with the hibiscus smile
I know, by now you have so many questions
But I have only one answer,
I love you and I always loved you

This wind seems like a stranger,
Glaring at me!
Your whispering lips and dry hair
Those are my friends, forever

I know you have moved a long way
Memories are fading
But my Alzheimer’s brain looks for you
I am dark, you are the light
I am hopeless, you are the hope

Dead leaves as blind eyes-
Gathered around me in the afternoon
As a crying new river
You are going away from me
This grief is unbearable
Day light as golden daggers,
Penetrates through my lungs
You are the only flower in my garden
Now my garden ruined in storm
All plants beheaded
The crying night
And whispering crickets all pray for me

My heart is like a desert never discovered by anyone
You were the rain in it
I am the time,
You are the history
I have been defeated in the war
But you are my only success
Under the violet trees and green sky
My love falls unkissed.

Mortuary of love

Jessy, I love you
I dipped my words in my blood
And my breath in my heart
I am empty now
Like a floating sparrow in the sky
I am wandering
Jessy, look at me
The dark agents of death are coming
Just look at me
This room is full of butterflies
Like defeated earth
I stand in front of you
My heart is melting
You are the only remedy for it
I stand in the mortuary of love
Only to get you back
Jessy, I love you and I always loved you
