Ceyhun Mahi Poems

You used to be a lamp to nightly eyes,
You are a star right now,
You used to be a rose so fine and nice,
Where is that flower-brow?
...

Before my eyes I see a dreamy sight:
Her sleepy look does glaze over the days,
As olden vintage clothing of her sways,
Absent of strength, away from lively might.
...

The clouds slowly conceal sunlight at night,
Who then slowly reveal moonlight at night.
In this city roams the Moon of New-York,
Who's face reflects the city's light at night.
...

The moon-faces walk by as the rain falls,
Noticed by every eye as the rain falls.

Strangers greet the flowers of art and silk,
...

Through all the pleasures and delights,
I saw one moon who took all sights,
Who always shines in days and nights,
In New-York: the Ocean of Lights.
...

The places are adorned with light,
At this gleaming plaza tonight.
While she's dressed up in pink and white,
At this gleaming plaza tonight.
...

The rain does fall upon the street,
Of Flushing bright at night,
The place where grey concrete does meet
With crystal droplets bright.
...

I am curious to her lovely ways,
Who're shrouded in a distance, far away,
Adorned with lovely scents, as petals sway
With fair beauty, who's hidden in her face.
...
