free love
Anna Banasiak Sep 2018
set me free
calm the heat
sway
take in your arms
and hide
from the world

Dark Light
Anna Banasiak Sep 2018
Dark light


words still tremble
in your mouth
even in silence
they speak for you
and for me

don’t go

from the darkness of this world
into the light
of a new kingdom

Rio
Anna Banasiak Sep 2018
Rio
Rio


go to Rio
without a ticket
drink wine and dance on the beach
love till dawn
on the hot sand
harder
and then caress with foamed wave
born from desire
in my dreams

Woman on the turn
Anna Banasiak Sep 2018
My life is racing with time

I’m running
beyond the boundaries of this world
behind the turn
of love and death

On the walk I wobble like willows
crying in the abandoned park
nature blows up with colours
It’s free like a wind
Men come and go
In an empty house everyone is a stranger
I don’t want to run without You

I turn
into the tunnel
without exit

Autumn thoughts
Anna Banasiak Sep 2018
park like an old clock
stopped
over time
trees told their stories
moved by the fate of a stone
leaves played
like notes
in the autumn sonata
everything has its sense
and a new beginning

salsa
Anna Banasiak Sep 2018
set me free
in the summer salsa
calm the heat
sway
in the sounds
of the summer
I’m fragile
like the porcelain doll
hide me
from the world

Dream
Anna Banasiak Sep 2018
white horses jumped  
from the black thoughts
closed
in the open window
they rush play  
grow in a dream
sharp words
fall into memory
wound
outside the existence

white horses
run
helpless
in infinity

Pajaros
Anna Banasiak May 2018
Eres un soplo de eternidad
En un espacio intemporal
El sentido de mi existencia
Estoy vagando sin ti
En el desierto de la nada
Recuerdo tu beso
Luz como el cielo
Quiéreme
Con tu toque eterno
Y liberarme
De la jaula
De soledad

New Life
Anna Banasiak May 2018
He saved her life. But it was a long time ago…
People were just shadows. Every moment was filled with longing for the lost presence. She has always wanted to stop time. Everything was just a mirage of a changing consciousness. She wasn't sure whether the surrounding reality exists. She felt like a spider tangling a net of events. Among whispers, glances and voices she created fictitious worlds. Every word was a story. The moment reminded her of a river of childhood. She waded in the water like a heron. The water was calm, clear as a mirror. Everything was possible. The boundary between childhood and adulthood did not exist. She has always lived in a world of dreams. Mother told her to keep her feet on the ground.
-Life is a way-she remembered her mother saying it-people can change it and make You happy-there are many ways that You can choose, but it’s not always Your way of life, sometimes You can wander and return, the way can be far away, but it’s worth to fight for Your dreams, always cherish yourself and don’t give up
She liked to listen to the sounds of life. Existence seen through the mirror was falling apart to pieces. The shapes seemed unreal, immersed in a pure form, without beginning and end. It was closed in the microcosm of her visions.
She wanted to spread out wings and fly away, look at life from a distance. Mother, father, family, it was the world that ensures peace, time was playing her like a doll in spite of passing…
She has always wanted to see him once again and thank him for everything: a new life, friends, family and a helping hand…
Suddenly she saw the light. She listened intently to the melodies of existence woven of the finest matter and dreams. Place where you can immerse yourself and observe the surrounding reality. Light and darkness, colour and sound, everything was repeatable, reflecting the circle of life.
She met him again.
-J. is that You?
The cry of her son has interrupted her musings. Life has come back to normal.
She was happy.

The Game
Anna Banasiak May 2018
I'm searching for Your caresses

Let me drink the heat of Your mouth

I can’t stop

My hands wander in darkness

The waves hit the shore With desire

The island is free Like a bird

Warm me up With Your love

In the endless game

Garden Of Peace
Anna Banasiak May 2018
I'm longing for my promised land
words fly free like birds
building bridges between cultures
the world is whirling
in the words of Li Bai
peace is a flower
it blossoms gently
in the Chinese garden
opening the sky for everyone

The Meeting

Mother's Hands
Anna Banasiak May 2018
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.

Van Gogh's Ear
Anna Banasiak May 2018
The space is blurred
I see men in the fur of red birds
yellow clocks wearing hats
are sitting at the table
mirrors are laughing at me
things are ticking
in the echo of chaos
I spread
burning wings
suspended
in doubled dimensions
the sea of colours
is shaping sadness
I feel so lonely
in my locked reality
May 2018 · 95
The Flavors Of Love
Anna Banasiak May 2018
I am the source
drink me
blossom in my kiss
I want to feel Your touch
in me
don't walk away

without you
I'm the crying desert.

A Kitten
Anna Banasiak May 2018
Don’t run away from me
I just want to talk
touch You tenderly
purring like a cat
on a tin roof
I will enslave You
to think as I do
about me and in me
though it is dangerous
open me to the world
because mine is closed
baby kitty
don’t try to fight
and so you are mine
shall we purr together
dancing on the roof?

Birds
Anna Banasiak May 2018
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
May 2018 · 130
The Sea
Anna Banasiak May 2018
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 May 2018
Hidden under the books, surrounded by pens.

White-but he has a soul of gold in a sense

He wants to fly away from the table.

Maybe then the world would be…

more wonderful.

My once favourite subject of play… with a doll;

Now broken and abandoned under the wall.

He was replaced by a NEW,

much bigger and colourful too.

I tell him of sorrows and fears.

He consoles me, wiping away all my tears,

and brings all the children sweet dreams…
Anna Banasiak May 2018
When the night comes, I hide

fears, sorrows, bad memories,

I wipe down tears and display children

colourful films

once milk has split

and there was a spot

our mum washed it a lot

and again there were dreams

and memories of good things

when the night comes again

I will unfold my magical power then

Winter Moments
Anna Banasiak May 2018
Winter Moments

thoughts fly away
obsessions slowly flow

I‘m
sinking
in the snow

fluffy paths overwhelm me
with their gray
I close my eyes

white walls and insomnia
do not go away

Coffee
Anna Banasiak Mar 2018
I sail through the cosmos
blowing thoughts fly away
in the path to nowhere

The Rain in Hong Kong
Anna Banasiak Mar 2018
I listen to the rain in Hong Kong
birds sing longing melody
the streets are full of mystical light
I contemplate the Man Mo Temple
recite the poetry of  Su ****

I listen to the rain in Hong Kong
the voices of the SoHo District
merge with the echo of the saint texts
I taste the sounds of the eternal Hong Kong
and my heart is filled with happiness

On The Other Side
Anna Banasiak Mar 2018
to Tomas Transtromer

barred birds
suffocate on freedom
they circulate in closed circles
slowly untangle from the net

I enter the boat swimming away
in a dark eternity
contorted faces grow from the trees
resound in dreams
they call me to return
into a dead forest

I’m searching for the exit
from the stone world
into the endless carnival

I fight for breath

The Swing
Anna Banasiak Feb 2018
Fallen leaves.
Withered tree.
Time stood still.
I will come to the garden
caress dreams
of children and our home.

I left love
calming for me the whole world.
I was looking for her all my life.
Now it’s too late.
Miles Davies cuddles loneliness.
I’m a girl swinging in the past.

Christmas Dreams
Anna Banasiak Dec 2017
Christmas is coming gliding through the world
everyone is sharing a wafer and warm words
carp smells with memories
animals tell stories like real wizards
snow covers sorrows dancing with the wind
presents rustle under the Christmas tree
father fixes the hands of the clock
mother staples the shreds of the past
I build with blocks the tower of time
rocking horse lulls me to sleep
first star makes dreams come true
I'm going home for Christmas
Anna Banasiak Dec 2017
bird’s silent singing
captured in the morning dream
wakes to new life:
pirouetting in the air
disappears in the rainbow

The Stairs
Anna Banasiak Dec 2017
My time is listening
to the steps under the door
they are growing
everywhere
they approach and move away for a while
I’m afraid I don’t want to be alone
I’m once again a little girl
standing by the window and preview life
I see everything through the fog
there was always this curtain
between me and the world

The Art of Calligraphy
Anna Banasiak Oct 2017
I open the mystical Book of Light.

Jerusalem blossoms like the eternal garden.

God goes back to the beginning.

Words escape from the exile

free as birds.

The sky is open

for everyone.

Varanasi
Anna Banasiak Sep 2017
water like a mirror reflects faces of the dead
in the play of light and shade I melt

time has stopped in the flight to eternity
bodies sail in the cycle of birth and death

river accepts everything
it takes the memory of things

in tranquil breath of reality
I float on the other side

I can fly higher and higher
passing the limits

born from a drop of creation
in the last gasp of life I pass

Un gatito
Anna Banasiak Aug 2017
No huyas de mi
solo quiero hablar,
tocarte con ternura
ronroneando como un gato
en un techo de hojalata.

Yo te esclavizaré
pensarás como yo
sobre mi y en mí,
aunque es peligroso
abrámonos al mundo
porque la mia esta cerrada.

Bebé gatito,
no trates de luchar
y sabiendo que eres mío
ronronearemos juntos
bailando en el tejado.

El mar
Anna Banasiak Jul 2017
Nuestro amor es infinito.
Tu voz,
se hace eco de la eternidad.
Los sonidos del mar
absorbe momentos.
Los barcos navegan con pereza,
las olas agitándose
me llenan de deseo.
Te veo,
como en mi sueño.
Quédate conmigo por siempre.
