It snows… With every snowflake A grain of future Is planted In the heart of the earth It snows... The snow is falling Over the past And putting it to rest, Quietly It snows... A morning is Opening wide Her amazed purple eyes To life It snows... And it covers my heart beat With a cushion of love In a white Dance It snows... An infinite symphony Pours the grace Of a restless Conductor It snows... Rare silver drops Are melting Like rare Happy days

It Snows...
It was morning And I loved Your steps Feeling the strength of the earth In a steady breeze It was daylight And I loved Your hand Resting on your forehead In a thought It was night And I loved Your smile Hesitating Towards the stars It was us And I loved Your unbearable joy It’s the end And I love Your silent memory

Love at all times
Un autre present Crafted in evening rain Of a shattering beauty Un autre present- -Mystical time Filled with magnolias And april’s words of love Un autre present- -Old bookstore With red wooden ceiling, Your fingertips touching verses Un autre present- -Deep as the ocean From which the white Saint Mary’s statue Was gracefully greeting Un autre present- -Eternity-pouring river Filled with reflection of the red city Like a glittering blood Un autre present Was overflowing our nights With love

Un Autre Present
I mixed you up with the sky In the end of the day With the leaves Of the forest glim With our song “Landing like a stranger” With life, I filled my days with you My ears, my laughter, My echoes, my hopes, My steps, my nights, My wrinkles, my sighs I should forget How the world is rolling The same colors for us, The same seasons, Same words Same smile I’ll efface you As a candle - dying, As the snow on your path Before walking From my ears, from my laughter, My echoes, my hopes, My steps, my nights, My wrinkles, my sighs Still, could I ever efface you From the orange sky of a sunset From the leaves of the forest glim And our song - “Landing like a stranger”? Without you I’m landing like a stranger Into this world As into any other

Landing like a stranger
“How sad and bad And mad it was - But then, how it was sweet” Robert Browning Infatuation Closes your eyes Love Opens them Infatuation Lives in the dark Love In the light Infatuation Says I’ve always known you Love I’m still learning you Infatuation Writes verses On a page Love Writes pages Of life Infatuation Lives the second Like an eternity Love The eternity Like a second Infatuation Says I love you Love Wipes away your tears Infatuation Burns you Love Warms you up at night Infatuation Is a quick, tumultuous river Love A deep, silent ocean

Reflection on the Past
I am born from your lips - the poet would say I am your creation You’ve made me The being I am today You’ve opened my eyes And guided my steps While holding my hand And my heartbeat Only sun I remember Abundantly, burningly Over dry cornfields Of September One side of my face Flooded by sun The other Drowned by love

Born From Your Lips
What should I do With my life I have a rose In my hand A white rose I don’t know Where to plant it I’m turning around Petals are flying One by one Getting ready For emptiness

White Rose
I have one last desire Let me die In the evening silence By the sea Let my sleep be a wing And the lime tree be near Let my skies lay blue Over water Let nobody mourn me Besides autumn Through the song of her leaves Falling Let the springs run down While the moon will slide Through the eyes Of pine trees Let the sea moan with passion In my loneliness While I’m silently turning To dust

One last desire
“Those who wander along the beach Find conches and shells But those who dare to venture Into the depth of the ocean Discover precious pearls...” Of blindness must we suffer not to see The hidden pearl into the imperfection How many lives May pass around us Before we notice beauty, Force, or splendor Soul-stirring people in the day Arose to my eyes Somebody thinking of ending her life Somebody terminally ill, Praying for courage In the ones that will be left behind So many people we don’t look upon Because they don’t seem good enough Bright enough To get our admiration Spectacular enough Young enough Or maybe rich enough Joyful enough Or full of life enough To catch our eye To rise our glim Our interest or our closeness... How much distress And how much desolation Must we endure now Before we see them Embrace them Treasure them Learn from them Cry with them Grow with them They slide unobserved Soul-stirring Like shadows Shadows of thoughts that we are Sky-stirring Those who wander along life Find conches and shells But those who dare to venture In the depth of the soul Find pearls

Those who wander
We are Shells on the sand The wind turns us to dust We are Two birds Touching their wings at night As sparkles are falling From their wings We are trees Embracing each other Holding tight to one another Until the wind is sleeping away through our leaves And throwing us apart What you see on my face is time It is nothing but time And time means nothing Compared to spirit Compared to what we are Compared to love Don’t be afraid of time Somehow it’s unimportant Insignificant What you see on my body is time Only time Unforgiving, implacable Harsh and demanding Time What you see in my eyes Is eternal A light and the flame Of the spirit that loves you That cherishes you And your being Your loneliness Your deepness Your mortality Nobody goes through life Without scars Time leaves scars You should not look around my eyes To see the scars But inside my eyes To find soul
