One has to be alone on the way of imploring.
One has to look for and embrace trouble.
It is not bravery to run towards Union.
One has to be brave on the day of separation.

We Are Drunk (2/26/17)
We have neither silk garments nor silver, but we are happy.

you will never find the way from words to ecstasy.

Water Is Never Afraid of the Fire (9/18/16)
Love has ruined my heart.
It is about time for the Sun to shine on my broken heart.

The One… (8/28/16)

The One who makes my garden and meadow green.
He shows me to the world and makes me famous in one moment,
Then changes me to one without name or fame in the next.
