I'm looking at the mirror of memory
thoughts are melting in the past
forgetting everything
in the river of changes
the world is whirling
like a bird
the emperor of it all

I wear a cage
in myself
in a changing rhythm
of life and death
silent space overwhelms
in a world
full of countless doors
nothing was like I thought
stairs without exit
everywhere

I hear their echo…

they’re running through my world

in the inner Jerusalem

the faces scatter

like the broken vessels

I wear a cage in myself

in the clothes

of memory

silence overwhelms

in the trains

of thoughts

doors without exit

everywhere

the trains are hiding

in my dreams

I swim into
The sounds and shadows
Of the past
Shaping sadness
Time stops the existence
My soul sails
To the border of life
I pass
In silence

My life is baggage

I’m leaving my home

In suitcases of memories



I’m a stranger in the world

Wandering in the chaos of hate



I’ll go again somewhere

Trying to forget the past

On the road to freedom

I’m finding my identity

Among people and things

Rushing nowhere



This journey never ends



I’m looking for the meaning

In a new life

Carrying the baggage

rustling white aprons
entangled me

it’s dark here
I can't fall asleep without you
why can't you come back

Miles Davis
cuddle with jazz
loneliness
and scattered past

moth whirling in the jar

Sylvia Plath
with her head in the oven

dissapear

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?

Fairy Cat furry philospher
has plenty of wisdom to offer
he looks at the sky
and wonders why
the world is so improper

Dad
tell me a story
enchant words
subject to You
as the Egyptian slaves
we rule the kingdoms
we start the new dynasty
in the House of Dolls
plans scatter
we fall asleep
in the ibises of dreams

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.

fairy fantastic Irish setter
wrapped in a dream
cuddled with life
maestro of being
beyond words
playing with time in the park
barking at eternity
in the fur of a man

subtle sounds and shapes
vanish in Your voice
mouth desires
I touch You tenderly
feel the fire
rising from Your kiss
in Your arms
I enter infinity

The world is running too fast
I swim in the river of things and memories
see the pictures which I have to leave
I close myself in loneliness
locking in the past
hiding my fears and dreams
the river of life is flowing
faster and faster
I close my eyes
and find
eternity

dance with me the last salsa
in the bedroom of desire
I can’t breathe without you
I'm free
when you give me
your nakedness
I’m searching for
the taste of Your kiss
come back to me
today I dance solo

Mother
is like sunrise
she brightens
allows to leave
from the black
powerlessness
flows like a wave
floats
and safely
lulls me to sleep

I think about you every night
you are a rising sun
let me fall asleep in Your kisses
waves of nostalgia rustle in the shells
I can’t breathe without You
like a fish
captured in the net

I think about you every night
you are a rising sun
let me fall asleep in Your kisses
waves of nostalgia rustle in the shells
I can’t breathe without You
like a fish
captured in the net

I think about you every night
you are a rising sun
let me fall asleep in Your kisses
waves of nostalgia rustle in the shells
I can’t breathe without You
like a fish
captured in the net

I think about you every night
you are a rising sun
let me fall asleep in Your kisses
waves of nostalgia rustle in the shells
I can’t breathe without You
like a fish
captured in the net

Daddy
where are You
I can’t fall asleep
will You show me a film
on the wall
tell the story
of the golden duck
together we will find
the enchanted pencil
and we will write from the start
my dreams

life goes in hand with death
takes off her clothes
playing roles
covered with
non-existence
dancing like a shadow
in the cyclone of white
parodies all in the mask
body tired of being
silent
in the dance
of non-existence

they run through the world

ardent gazelles

split tongues of fire

burned images

in anxiety

go to the sea

without measure

black clocks
walk in me
blurring
reality
as if
I was not here and now
but always there
suspended
I’m just ticking
between two worlds
erased
from life

thoughtfully
slowly I grow up
to myself
I distort time
with words
I turn the world
upside down
stopped
in the land of my childhood

quiet rhythms of jazz
flow in the pouring rain
we cuddle the pillow
my dog and I
lonely jazzmen
we fall
in the bliss
of freedom

I'm listening to the immense sounds of the sea
amidst the echoes of the past
the sky absorbs moments
I forget the names and shapes of things
in the chaos of passing
standing on the shore
in the absolute loneliness
the waves are taking time
which has left
turning the memories
into emptiness

I’m looking at people
lost in the rushing universe
I’m only a drop of time
in a gust of eternity
I’m searching for the truth
in the music of things
wandering in the world
like a blind bird.

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

I'm looking
at the slow ripple of time.
In the rhythms of the ocean
moving away into the past
The waves take our words
and cast into the abyss.
My soul is floating like a feather.
The darkness
absorbs the fears and anxieties.
Close my eyes.
Do you hear an echo of God
amidst the waves?

The heart beats faster and faster louder
sounds words and thoughts quiet down
I drift off to the islands of childhood
body and soul are still muted
they float on the other side
thoughts merge with water
I swim deep into myself
wandering without tips
for transformation
I drift off
getting ahead further
deeper and deeper
heart beats more slowly
becoming quieter

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

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

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

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

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”

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.

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

sway in the cradle

woven of our dreams

when you whisper in my ear

the words fragile as life

the whole world wavers with me

so much

that I can't go away

from you

to me

crush in our dreams

remain

in my poems

lost in language
I float on the waves of words
in the sea of voices
looking for reality
I'm only the letter
in the alphabet
of life

a drop of water
unique in cosmos
in the changing river of time
passing like a single life
I'm only a shadow
dancing in the emptiness

I was looking for God
in the echo of the waves
I heard
the music of things
the light of the sea
filled me
with tranquility

streets as sacred books
the city light as the sky
the flight of the soul

the wall of brightness
in every drop of the past
the sounds of the harp

The rustle of wings
in the shadows on the sea
I hear the music

The sky is flying
like the light echo of time
life is infinite

Take me with You to my language
I’m whirling in the wind
whispering an echo of things
touching eternity
take me to the thought I almost have
my feet are dancing with reality
dancing beyond the beauty of cosmos
Where can I free myself
I’m the dancer of the inner world
my soul melts in light

I listen to the rain in Istanbul
birds sing silent melody
the streets are full of mystical light
I walk through the Sufi path
recite the poetry of Orhan Veli Kanik
and my eyes are shining with sweetness
I listen to the rain in Istanbul
the voices of the Grand Bazaar
merge with the echo of the saint texts
I taste the sounds of the eternal Istanbul
and my heart is filled with joy

Childhood in Poland.  
Carefree and warm.
We flounder in the water like beavers
and although leeches pinch us in the calves
we build the dam.  

The river is dreaming.  

Reflecting as in a mirror
the familiar faces
of friends and loved ones,
they forgot me,
their children have grown up
and gone into the unknown.  

The river is dreaming.  

And I’m still standing on the footbridge.
I'm afraid to jump.
Cross the dam of time.

the prophets fly free
passing the eternal walls
in the sea of light

rushing people
rattle in reality
remain unreal
crowding everywhere
disappear rapidly
in the roaring
rattle of time
