An Allegory Of Two Aspects
When the peacock dances
In a wave of pride and happiness
On its beauty
During the dance
When it looks at its ugly paws
It stops dancing suddenly
Holding tears in the eyes
When unknown-love appears
In the heartbeats
I dance too
When I look at my years of seniority
As a result
Collapses my hopes and desires
I live alone with my loneliness,
Bearing the burden of sadness.
