Cuckoo
Anna Banasiak Feb 2022
tree bent over the water
looks at itself in a stream
reads my mind
I looked into my soul
and I trembled with fear
there in the distance the frog is croaking
dogs complain about their lot
Cuckoo counts my days
And I’m thinking of you

Pájaros
Anna Banasiak Jul 2017
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

My Boy
Anna Banasiak Sep 2019
I can hide You in my hand
and put
in the house of dolls
don't be afraid
You don't have to grow up
You can play
in life
You're too fragile
for this time
I'll save You from the world

The Game
Anna Banasiak Aug 2017
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

The Rhythm
Anna Banasiak May 2017
Mother
is like sunrise
she brightens
allows to leave
from the black
powerlessness
flows like a wave
floats
and safely
lulls me to sleep

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

Insomnia
Anna Banasiak Apr 2017
quiet rhythms of jazz
flow in the pouring rain

my dog and I
lonely jazzmen
we fall
in the bliss
of freedom

Infinity
Anna Banasiak Jan 2017
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

Cakes
Anna Banasiak Dec 2018
with afternoon tea I come back
to the past
when you were here
we baked apples
with crumble
dog in the kitchen
fawned over you
the smell of baked cabbage
teased everyone
nicely
smelt this time

The Little Mermaid
Anna Banasiak Dec 2018
leaning over me  
you read me fairy  
sang
lulled to sleep
you saw before me
future fulfilled
today I can return
and ask
why I’m still
your little mermaid

The trains
Anna Banasiak Jun 2017
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

The Moment

In your arms…
Anna Banasiak Jun 2017
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

magical cats

The River of Reality
Anna Banasiak Jun 2017
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

The ticking
Anna Banasiak Apr 2017
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

The rustle of wings

the music of peace

bird’s silent singing
captured in the morning dream
wakes to new life:
pirouetting in the air
disappears in the rainbow

The Past
Anna Banasiak Aug 2019
the rustle of autumn leaves
lulled cats
cuddled on the porch

under the dark blue sky
full of stars
in the moonlight

I see parents
grandparents' house
burnt by war

listened to the croaking in the pond
the dance of leaves
dreamy

slowly I find myself
in the dark and bright
future

The Sea II

dances on

The Fish
Anna Banasiak May 2017
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

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

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.

moth whirling in the jar

with her head in the oven

Masquerade+ poems
Anna Banasiak Aug 2019
Masquerade


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

                                              

Van Gogh's Ear

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

                                                      
The Walk

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 astonishment
the waves are taking time
which has left
turning the memories
into emptiness





Infinity
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

Meditation
The heart beats faster and faster louder
sounds words and thoughts quiet down
I drift 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
getting ahead further
deeper and deeper
heart beats more slowly
becoming quieter

The Dancer
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
169 · Dec 2017
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
168 · Apr 2017
Poetry
Anna Banasiak Apr 2017
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

Words

Fantastic setter
Anna Banasiak May 2018
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

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
162 · Nov 2016
Meditation
Anna Banasiak Nov 2016
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

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

Coffee
Anna Banasiak Mar 2018
I sail through the cosmos
blowing thoughts fly away
in the path to nowhere
bird's silent singing
captured in the morning  
wakes to new life
I drink the cup of dreams
feel the joy of existence
159 · Dec 2017
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
158 · Jun 2017
Time
Anna Banasiak Jun 2017

like a bird

The Eclipse
Anna Banasiak Dec 2018
Mom
where are you
I’m afraid to be alone
with the shadow
come back, turn on the light
as before
I’ll cuddle you with a scarf
by the lamp
I’ll read
my poems
silence only moth in the jar
fights for life
155 · Apr 2017
The Fear

ardent gazelles

split tongues of fire

burned images

in anxiety

go to the sea

without measure

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
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

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

The Flavors Of Love
Anna Banasiak Jun 2017
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.
