tides-225x300It’s too late for the destiny, I am too involved now…Silky rain has just stopped…There is this one particular rainbow on top of my head, I know exactly its colors and density, but it dissappears every each time when I look up in the sky…

Our land is nothing but wet, smells like chewed grass…My eyes are hunting the seconds on the clock…My chest is full of fears; just cannot breath in well, and breath out enough…Something is missing in this scene; could it be because of tides?

I was just looking at this fantastic endless horizon line, to my eyes towards the end of my Ocean where the sea and the cloudless parliament blue skies meet each other…I was so myself anymore and the Ocean blinked at me all the way from the horizon line…The Sun was about to set down towards the back hills of sleepy mountains…Every living creature was getting a little bit tired and sleepy, except me…

Moonset

May 5th 2009

moonsetThe moon has set, / You, too, have left…

Your eyes, / Your half an hour long words.
Leaving nothing behind…

A quiet waltz in the evening…/ Like the usual dance of the birds
and of their false friends, the hunters… / […]

Darkness of the Moon

May 5th 2009

blue
Sun is up, and you’re gone.
You will not see the light!
I will be in worse sorrow than
the irresolute desert heat in your eyes.

Letter

storm
In the very same room
behind the doors
are my longing and your Photo
a pot of flower is my freedom
and sweaty loneliness…
My night confessions have a desert face….

…can’t come back

March 26th 2009

sunset
You
cannot come back to me…
You are the one
who left on a Sunday night in July…
Even if I called hesitant
you would turn your eyes away
to the rose gardens of every color
but crimson…
