Uncountable black roses are smiling
smiling and smiling-I've seen
Is it fair or true, mare a dream or nightmare?
A lime-green joy is sleeping
on the dark-purple emotion
Keeping a nil distance between gardenia and bee!
Should I believe what is going on?
Should someone believe the invisible happenings?
Lunatic expression of fanaticism?
Nothing is occurring between the cotyledons
Neither a bud nor a leaf is waking up gently
beside the foot-path!

Your poem is getting in the depthh of life. Seferis, the Nobel-awarded poet (1963) , in his original poems is using analogous icons (cotyledons) to express the complex meanings with simple means of the Nature. Thanks for sharing, I give it a firm 10, dear Ashraful Musaddeq

I would like to translate this poem
the botanists claim that though dormant and latent there is activity, I love your metaphors black roses smiling and lemon-green, my semantic attitude to the lexical term nothing is very different, ie, nothing, is forever or nothing is forever, I am, nothing, therfore I am forever, the poem in a crux is symbolic and well done,10
