As the sun is setting down Me settling at the peak of skies Wearing my luminous gown I am a beacon of the stars

The Laughing Heart

Oh Child  My dear

Find what you love – and let it kill you

Let it devour your remains

No, do not fear

Of this end of life – the most beatifical

For your heart is yet off the mundane

I Love

I love the colours of red weed, cornflowers

Daisies and bluebells beneath the sweet briar

I was the same child with my mind fragile

I love red wine on my bold lips carmine

A nice gin and tonic with a slice of lime

And four cubes of ice  The liquid-crystal shine

I love small cabins hidden in the mountains

Where there is nothing but gentle breeze humming

Eros is hunting  Eros is hunting

I love the lakes guarded by fish and snakes

Among the conifers touching its surface

Concentric ripples shattering our fates

I love the lightening – inspiring and frightening

Strucking the feathers of summerlove frail wings

Zeus is fighting  Zeus is fighting

I love the stars, the bygone rousing sparks

Of the eternal hope flaring up in our hearts

Even at times when we were so afar

I love his blue eyes burning like pilot lights

Despite an old strikeout, the last line survives

I love you until the Sun turns to ice

Wisdom

With the firts move as I unfold the light

Withal a small sparrow

waiting at the window

I fly aloft and off

To the dawn’s scent, to the wordly delight.

The world of wonders where is no track of time.

Each with all at the feast

Swaying under the sea

Sky-coloured masterpiece

In Mother’s womb where deep love, peace and quiet is easy to find.

If only we would believe again

Why can’t we treat our Mother well?

If we would take one-second stop...

Then each of us will turn to dust!

With the last move I am closing my sight

An owl bows above me

Then gently, covertly

though intentionally

Drops a tear on my cheek.

To remind me forever

Animals, plants revere

Just cavort in the grass.

Fill your Gift up with joy, dance!

White Lies

If you would ask me How I have been

I would not understand, undoubtedly

If you would next try How is life going

I would cast down my eyes, just kept on smoking

And if you would inquire How am I feeling now

I would think ‘I don’t know’ Is it worth reading?

Why?

Is it a treasure or dream?

Lucre or power?

Intention or spree?

Love or wildfire?

I used to smile

But white lies taste vile

If you would question me What I have been taking

Cutting, polishing opals on my fake ring

If you would repeat What are you feeling

Translucent pride with guilt No one could see it

And if you would shout Where are you heading to

Away and far out. If you would let me

Who?

Is it a pleasure or gloat?

Fealty or failure?

Emotion or thought?

Umbrage or anger?

Everything once decay

My white lies turned deep gray

Nothing Above

The breath in my mouth sounds like a symphony

But once it gets in, it breaks into agony

Anyone around might be an enemy

Is there a way out? Out of this anomy

We don’t know how to pair off what is all this about

Living in ceaseless chaos, heaven remains a doubt

They all say: There is not such a thing!  Laughing at every sin

We are floating in chaos wherefore we accuse God

Asking where the hell he was yet we’re worshipping guns

It feels safe... Suddenly they stepped in –  Laughing at the worst sin

Is there a way out of the mind?

Is there a way out of the body?

Is there a way right to the heart?

Is there a spirit to embody?

Earth is floating in chaos, it is a proven fact

Creatures drowning in castoffs, gold-mines of bitter death

Look away. Let it burn, let it din. Reasoning every sin

Life is floating in chaos bigger than the Big bang

We stray among betreyals, unable to get back

God please, stay! It was us who killed Him –

To resurrect Her in this Age so-called New

There is no way out of this fault

Nothing above all what we know

Can ever be found anymore

So, what do you still pry? Embrace how small you are

Is there a way out of the mind?

Is there a way out of the body?

Follow a way straight to your heart

There is your own Divine melody

Morning Star Dreams

I was flying up high in the violet sky

Of a wonderland wild where the people just smile

In the blinding sunlight

Some call it paradise, others come here to die

In peace, and so am I in my dreams every night

Since I left our love behind

Incredibly far

Like the Morning star

You were waking up from your mad dreams, sweating cold

I was standing alone on the path leading home

To the heavenly glow

“Are you ready to go or do you want to fall

off the ground and dissolve in your darkest sorrow?

I ain’t wait anymore.”

Incredibly far

Like the Morning Star

The darkness underneath clutters your memory

Makes you drop to your knees yet hell-bent to eclipse

The inferno we live in

I settle at the world’s peak, my burning light sets you free

All of your nightmares are deep below, there is no fear

To fly high up to me

Incredibly far

To your Morning star

Decadence

All the nights we’ve spent up dancing in the closed down bars

Are the ones I miss the most despite my bleeding scars

All the days upon just seemed like perfectly surreal

Cringing on the windowsill yet I am full of zeal

All the nights I dropped off to my vivid dreams about

Hiding from my evil sister, she was seeking out

All the days of decadence just semed like pure divine

Shaking on the windowsill yet I am feeling fine

All the nights I woke up with the steely morning sun

Were the times I saw the clouds freed of their silver line

All the days ahead just seemed like already outdone

Sitting on the window still yet I am falling down

Sad Songs

I would like to revers all the things that I am doing

Just to make you happy again, just to see you laughing

We could dance to our sad rap songs and forget everything

All I want to do is get real drunk with you, my darling

Now I’m getting drunk alone and I think of you, darling

Listening to my sad pop songs to remember something

Like true love, like that strange feeling that was always missing

All our friends are going high but I’m on the floor, weeping

(September 2019)
