I haven't seen anything lying
on the cool eye-beds
I haven't watched something smiling
that peeps through into blue room.
I have observed zero dreams
into the reddish wave on the blood
I have detected nil signals
from the coffee-purple aroma.
A snail is moving towards grief-land
in the moonlit night
And a chrysanthemum is losing petals
on the noiseless dust!

Very eloquent. Your mind draws memorable poem pictures. The last lines are particularly effective. Kind regards, Sandra
I have detected nil signals from the coffee-purple aroma........no signal but something new with arrivals, cool moon light, to think of right...10
'.. losing petals on the noiseless dust! ' - Such philosophical imagery! I find them to be absolutely thrilling! 10+ -Raj Nandy
I really liked reading this poem of yours since it has a deep feeling about it where a human is conscious and unconscious about things since it can be felt but isn't shown to be present which is beautifully described when you mentioned the dust moving without making its presence felt.
very depressing it seems, like a late night....possibly insomnia? or too much coffee

I would like to translate this poem
I like your very individual style, the original approach, lack of sentimentality, the seeming coldness even arrogance in some of the poems... 'I haven’t seen anything lying on the cool eye-beds'. It is well measured however.
