fairy tales like butterflies
wake up in the darkness
the words rattle over the cradle
father fixes the hands of the clock
mother staples the shreds of the past
dog goes beyond being without a leash
I build with blocks the tower of time
rocking horse lulls me to sleep
I fly kites
free
from the world
behind the glass door
I’m looking for the light
on the way home
Anna Banasiak Nov 2016
Sunrise
stops the essence of existence
ducks immersed in silence
fly free like flames
they dive
stagger sacred circles
my soul
spreads its wings
flying between two worlds
happy upon a moment
brightened by a light
approaches infinity
Anna Banasiak Nov 2016
You're a breath of eternity
in a timeless space
the sense of my existence
I'm wandering without You
in the desert of nothingness
I remember Your kiss
light as the sky
love me
with Your eternal touch
and set me free
from the cage
of loneliness
Anna Banasiak Nov 2016
Our love is infinite
Your voice
echoes eternity
The sounds of the sea
absorbs moments
Ships sail lazily
Fluttering waves
fill me with desire
I see You,
as in my dream
Stay with me
forever
Anna Banasiak Nov 2016
You baked for me the world
smelling of bread
of childhood
still warm
from words and emotions
Your hands full of memories
stopped time for me
run out from my poems
I will hide you in dreams.

“I’m leaving my body
the costumes are borrowed
from the changing room of life
my face belongs to a foreign person
for the moment
someone’s invisible hand
removes my life
as a used prop
I’m leaving
to start playing
in the new mask”
Anna Banasiak Nov 2016
Grandma, is that you?
I heard your voice.
Why have you gone?

We’ll go to Saint Anthony
to find the keys and glasses
in the lost past.

I can’t sleep in an empty house.
It is so dark here.
Loneliness drowns out thoughts.
I'm afraid of the noise of silence.
Tara doesn't want to go
squealing with grief.
I'll take the grid,
make the tea,
find the keys
only come back.

Without you I'm lost
in the clutter of life.
