Long awaiting on shore

for mysterious nights,

that come to your doorstep,

holding a dandelion in their naked hand.

Light reflections of riverbed on the sleeves,

all the white candles that we bear without burning them,

as if we wouldn’t burn ourselves

on the threshold of an agonizing encounter

with desire itself.

But the brave one reverses the curse,

knows how to touch glaciers without melting them,

knows the nature of love affairs.
And in repose, glances at the face that holds immaculate grace,

without attaching it to their own possessions,

without possessing the heart of this face.

Adept of gentleness,
of mature patience.
The wise nights.
What a reckless bird,
Snitching the snow under the legs.
In the omnipresent blueness of this night,
Which is held by occult hands with
Long black nails,
In openwork lace.

And the sky has its eyes,
Chestnut curls spiraling glaciers,
Cut and chipped,
Onto our eyes as needles falling through,
Sewing the horizon.
As if poked, named papercards with the red thread,
During the conclave.

Stretched cardinals through the starry path,
Indicative of a new heart to arrive
On the prolonged, upside-down riverbed,
Provident messiah.
Will come as Minerva came through her father's head,
Fully grown, wearing golden armor.
Some things you just love,
and you love to love them:
prevalent fresh breath with a strawberry finish,
pleasant aldehydes.

Some looks just burn,
and, aflame, they guide you:
a corroded car on the highway,
where now fungi grow, nurturing a flower.

Some roads are detested,
and so, they face no suppression:
never saying hello to the acquaintance.

Some arms rise to the skies,
dreaming of affection.
Bubble gum blows into the palm of your hand.

Some hearts leave space
for opening and staying,
while other hearts hesitate,
knowing the price of paying.
Slightly opened doors have a habit of opening wider,
letting the cold in.
The owl of Minerva only flies at dusk,
and the stellar seed of the philosophical zoo,
on its final flight, is destined to **** history.

Meanwhile, in our nocturnal richness,
it’s the galloping through our phantasmagoria that we fear the most;
for the impossibility of motion in a dream stands as a gate to unreachable power.
So, we accept a little death, it seems,
as a gift of armor,
to start the journey of breaking through.

Alternative ways do exist,
but each leads to a singular outcome:
walk through the mirror fearlessly,
and in each death find eternity.
Centrally influenced by Hegel’s philosophy
Dreams
are melting glaciers under my eyes,
when they first meet the sun
upon the dawn.
Tower of ivory, as cold, white hands—
yet soft.
don’t open them—
let them preserve
their enchanting form,
so my eyes shall keep all magic.
For a beautiful moment,
I want to stay in phantasmagoria;
for never, nor ever,
do I want to flee the dream room.

Let’s leave all flowers here alone.
our hands,
these are our hands holding a tender white bird,
an elegant creature of signal,
feathers of brighter times,
glances of loftier views—
ones that we, on land, must wait to understand,
with time, which stands far more mysterious;
time that crumbles and stretches,
dies without being born,
lives without comprehending its body.

The war for boundless and infinite satisfaction
happens to be the most complicated—
simply because we tend to understand only finite things.
But besides,
because we despise pain,
fighting to endure only pleasure,
which itself is the most bitter poison.
Living one day with eyes closed,
another without windows and doors.
Looking at your eyes from underneath,
with a heart too full of words.

Imagining you see the endless journey,
bountiful panoramic views.
Let me enfold you with my soul in this forever image
of graceful frolics by the sea,
by mountains, and fields of daisies.

Please see, please see what I long for you to perceive.
Don’t let yourself go through any more turmoil.
Forget the pain,
and just keep frolicking with me.

I hold your hand and heart—
there’s no more loss,
no more horrific means.
Your eyes shall see the light,
my love and my devotion.
That’s what I will be putting in your sight.
The sun prolonged the overture,

two red carnations facing his face,

his body lying on white satin.
Waxy and cold,

My face tilts toward the corpse,
no longer here, yet definitely present.

What is this feeling?

And is there a being,

or is this the swan song for his soul?

If there ever was a soul,

If there ever was an everlasting spirit,

that drives this car,
then crashes into stone,

stays alive,
but not its vehicle—

by far, it’s him alone

who continues the journey

by prudent legwork.
And as he lies there straight,

i see his pale face,

knowing that this is the farewell,

yet he’s not there to listen to goodbye—

Or is he?

Accept the two carnations, Dad,

and rest on that white satin.
My thoughts of gentle kindness,
birds in metamorphosis—
fly always above the sea,
as if the sea were the mind.
An individual storage of memories and missions,
to which
mortal challenges
do comply.

Going further,
they would become canaries
in the coal mines.
For each artistic sensuality,
danger is the loftier flight.
Thought, without aiming heavens
rests on the earthly side—
ambitious yet bashful,
pious to its soul’s plan.

Mary Huxley
I miss those days when we had those funny girl talks,
Gossip about everything and anything,
Laughed and judged every creature that came our way,
Talk about how rich we wanted to be,
Our goals and dreams,
And where we wanted to be.

Then life took a turn,
A sudden turn none of us expected,
You changed how my name was saved in your phone ,
From girlfriend with heart emoji to my bare surname,
When I saw that my heart broke into pieces,
It's funny how you act as if everything is okay.

You smile at me, walk with me, laugh with me,
Pretend as if everything is OK,
But you clearly knew something is not right,
Or should I let bygones be bygones?

The memories we made are like precious gems,
Glistening in the sunlight of our minds,
Reminding me of all the joy we shared,
And all the love that we left behind.

So here's to those days and all the ones to come,
May we always find our way back to each other,
And keep the magic of our friendship alive forever.
I wrote this poem two years ago.
My friend at the time was distanced
We do talk but not like before
It's safe to say it was a one way friendship
I loved her but she loved what I offered instead of me.
It took months for me  to see that
