Holy Ash

Writing glances to the sun
bathing in the days sculpted in your inner eye
your skin is turning red while memories are boiling
to the scent that got you drunk before
and burning on your upper thigh
is a portrait of the saint that touched your soul…
but let your head fall
into the glory, to drink up once more
the savage pleading covering you whole
while listening to Pink Floyd,
arms open wide
mouth does speak the words
and it is all but fantasy,
wake up,
memories are cruel
wake up,
before this weight breaks you too…

They once put me on the cross
ironing my feathers next to yours,
how could you keep your heart untouched
plead forgiveness where I cry for war –
it is holy ash
and it is raining from above
brushing colors onto Kafka’s wall…

Follow me,
under the sun I dared to dream
and I was gone so flawlessly
whole world turned dark and I came to be alive
given to feel this symphony
caressing moss that spreads on you
among the hills springs silently
the sea that pours the life in me,
oh, give it back…
for stars bewitched be moving
on summer nights when lights are out
and moments seem to last forever,
I will fall so deep
grasping for a meaning I intend to keep,
it made me kneel
when all prayers in the book have failed
and learned true love can never heal…

The Great Fall

Give me back my summer
and the train trips to the north,
all the walks we took from may to autumn
the hours that we called,
kissed my lips in late October
dancing late on uphill flowers blue,
watching sunsets in the distance
and the purple star of me and you….

All the songs we shared that winter
had a note of missing you,
eased with me in evening snowing
in a room with dreams above,
yellow flowers in the cold rain
we drank red tea after hours,
and the day we left for wonders
I have loved you more the same…

Wildflower

I threw the dice before last night,
in the fortune cookie was a letter asking to be read
and the chariot ran down south,
never got the telegrams she sent so far…

One morning sitting on cold pebbles by the sea
my feet caressed by ferries in the chanting mousse,
I tear down all piece of garment
getting lost into uncharted deepest blue…

Going closer to the bottom is a mirror
looking through is my heart unsettled,
how to love when forgotten where to see the stars
I need a prayer and a lecture from the Psalms!

Alice if there’s really you
there is something that I’d like to ask you to,
tell me what’s your real name –
so by spelling it I’ll find my why…

I, the Sun

I’m a lover, I’m the Sun,
wondering reason and a question in the making
If I’m breathing tell me why
will I love you, will I be the One?
arms unveiled to the skin
when I’m walking do I ever sing?

I am slowly falling,
will you care to hold my hand
the words are all the same…
show me that you care,
steps towards the lightning
write me stories if you dare…

I’m a sinner, rolling in the dark,
feet cold no shoes I am drawing stars,
and the water in your eyes
wash my chest don’t say goodbye
my arms are growing feathers
we are angels nursing prayers in the night…

Alice IV

Hey there Alice, where are you now?
It’s been years since we let our guard down
and the weirdness grew like a garden flower,
oh dearest Alice, I wonder,
if purple stars keep shining
or is it just a thought that I’ve once had
a little sparkle that was only in my head?

Oh Alice, I really hope you are doing great
in that pretty world that used to be so swell,
do you remember the poppies in the fields
upon a cup of coffee in a little lucky town
you flew them home,
and we both got on that plane
but we’ve never gotten back the same…

Hey Alice, what’s your latest favorite song?
could it be a little lion or the western stars,
mind me not for I live just fine
ironically, in the city I disliked,
Alice that I always love and always hurt
were you to see a candle shining in the dark
would you come or would you part?

June 2

First love came like rain in June
second one would crumble down,
and the girls that danced since then
their eyes will fade like misty winds,
but this One, she’s here to stay –
calls you ‘darling’ every day
can’t believe the dream is gone
and you are very much awake…
took her hand one night in Paris
you did help her find the way
kissing softly on your cheek
she did help you cross that bridge….
funny gifts and one pink tie
she brings sunshine on her skies
and you hold her dearly too
like a diamond ring or two…

 

Epiphany

The morning is fine with coffee and wine
sleeping till noon the Christmas tree blooms,
cloudy the sky my heart is so high
the sun doesn’t shine but you do…

I’m falling once more like never before
the sea that was cold turned into gold
and dreams we share are arms to hold
a house of stone for love to grow…

 

Belle

In a foreign land turning on the radio
wakes me up in ages I thoroughly erased,
a tune I used to paint on icons in the church
playing chords in manners they actually deserve
but crystal readings were never my pretense,
some news were always getting old
people open up the eyes they’ve never seen
and the highway to the altar is desert
the band keeps going, reciting as foretold
poetry and shopping lists for lovers that forgot…

Listening this morning my hands are getting bent
skin is softer and my voice sounds clearer
the present opens doors the past has never had
I’m inclined to build up stairs reaching to the stars,
will you be my lover and I will be your grizzly bear
frightening the tourists when I don’t hibernate
I will take you see the sunrise at that mountain lake,
drinking coffee in the cold you’ll pour a glass of wine
kiss the lips that swear and we shall turn out fine
love me in the storm and I will love you to the end…

Poem II

The Red Turtle by Nick-Ian @DeviantART

I walked off a cliff and put my ear onto the Sea
and there were all,
each heart had wings and swam under me
and my love floated through mirrors I was not allowed to see,
for that was my own,
I was here and the doors took to me
new pair of arms to plant one tree
new pair of eyes to greet,
I slept into the deep
with every thought I loved, I lived…
