I BUY THE VINTAGE POEMS

I buy and sell poems

They are as precious as an old rug indeed

So many memories are hidden

I collected

I don’t mind even my memory is mistaken

I don’t differentiate between old and new poems

I find humans and myself

The laughter is echoed in their scream

Sometimes my childhood returns

Sometimes a couple of tears stream

My lines are deathless

My memories become unforgettable

They are to live

I say, it doesn’t matter

New or old poems

I say, let them stay in my soul chamber.
