22/M/Zagreb A russian poet who has decided to try his word in English.
Here I am and here I’m not, and, will never be again. Prisoner to my own thoughts; way too mortal for a man. When you’ll see me talked my lips, life be drained and be I dead, place two tulips on my chest, pray for me, and then forget. Close my eyes and let me rest.

Here
I wish i was here, still, i wish i was here. I wish that this thrilling film had lasted for more years. The minutes and hours spun, your palm was in mine, warm, It was always the second hand i wish i had held on. The quiet is now loud, a life has been muffed, well, i hear in this dead sound a crippling church bell. I see it, the golden domes, white walls and the old fence, with my lips as the closest for the silence to speak itself. Oh, like gaffed dice in street craps are the seconds, how they fly, and only a picture traps her in a moment of time. But the mirrors are covered now, the chambers of heart - locked. Isn't it strange how life constantly gets mocked? Yes, life constantly gets mocked, with its loves and its hot teas. I wish i was here, still, i wish death has mocked me.

The mockery of life
There is nothing to gain, nothing to lose. Nothing. As the smell of oil and tar has soaked all realms, God gave men free will, but they knew he was bluffing. All men got was a heart as a battlefield for themselves. All heart’s matters are individual, and therefore can be disputed, and are private, and them staying that way is vital. I am walking a marathon to the wall where I will be executed on the black path of a repeating Radiohead vinyl. In the naphthalene on your lungs, in your teapot filled with cold water, in your cupboard behind the cups, in the endless line to your doctor, in the smell of your favourite flowers and the dust of your favourite venue, there is a lit candle bleeding wax on the poems I’ve never read you.

In on you
I've seen her hunched over the river, i knew she held the waters back, never alone, but always single, i've seen her hunching on the bank. I've seen her fingers - fragile, thin, reach down towards the mirror she had cried over her many tears, i've seen her fingers move in key with all the loneliness she bore. I knew she nested many wings, and was allured by scales untouched, but in this neitherness of worlds she stood alone. I've seen her hunched.

Willows
I recall leaving, the silence shattered by cigarette butts quietly whimpering the absence of your company, having been martyred, but they were only half as quiet as your thirty- -three meters squared killing themselves on my departure.

Faraway shore
It's Sunday, October twelfth. The kitchen sink, still full of yesterdays memorabilia, eats at the opaque sterility (read solitude) of my apartment. It now appears to me that rearranging things does not reanimate my heart, in that department making distinctions (read fortifying patterns) does not appear to cleanse my soul of innate sin. As winter is a sparkplug for a spring in this perpetual concoction of disasters that seems to be but annual nepotism of seasons, i cannot wait for you in any way that matters because waiting for you does not require reasons.

Sunday, October twelfth
In the noose on a dusty loft or the thunderous champagne fizz, in the so everlasting mist of this life, so unjust and morose what gentler death there is than to the hand of love?

Graveyard
It's Tuesday, August fifth, wind's brushing alleys, streets where we no longer exist, where estrangement completes the picture we once took together, and commits suicide just to leave the outside to the heat. And as i sit and sip my coffee, i can hear departures of the dew from its beloved leaves, and back, again, it brings the so unneeded plea of my soul's deepest hue- a reminiscent you in a still present me.

Tuesday, August fifth
"What is truth?", Pilate then asked, turning his back, about to leave, "I bear-", replied the Lamb of God, "... witness to truth. The truth is me." A question posed so long ago, but to this day ferments the mind, as though a cataract which grows to leave the eye completely blind and doom a Man to only seeing the world as flat and lacking depth, a half-a-lie or half-a-meaning, but bear a cross of equal weight.

Truth
Terraces, people, smoke rising above their heads, all of them hiding talks in the so-needed shade. Everyone's outside, interior's empty, but i think i will go inside, into the silent gut of this cafe that i have been to so many times. It's seen me when things were rough, granted it's seen my smiles. Two weeks left until again the calendar sheds a year. The volatility of Men forces the eye to tear. Twenty-two, although not much, is more than i've ever been, and it seems my time tries to catch up to the time after me. What is it that i feel? hard to tell, stillness perhaps, but pinned down with barren fear. But had i another chance to choose what i could've been, with all of my blunders in sight, i still would have chosen me and still would have come inside. Having been safely tucked into the sleeve of my congenital distortion, i do my time at mercy of today's luck but still consist of yesterday's misfortune.
