I want to touch you
dry with my body
hide
in your arms
and last
so long
until I sculpt you
in my dream
entire
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?

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

mouth are looking for mouth
between verses
they set free
from the forbidden metaphors
they create the world
without ornaments

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
Anna Banasiak Oct 2022
I’m escaping from my Land
with children
with the baggage of torment in hand
with a sick mother in my head
in a burning house
in the grave of ancestors
incinerated

I run away blinded by fire
stunned by the howl of sirens
by bombing raid of hate

in compartments and on tracks
death validates tickets
without mercy one by one
takes its toll
from the waiting room of life

I run further
to breathlessness
with children with the baggage of hope
Anna Banasiak Dec 2018
Mom
I like when you ****** me
remove weights with touch
in the baby tub
I splatter soap bubbles
with rubber toys
safe
in your hands
Anna Banasiak Feb 2020
swinging
at the stormy sea
the wave sinking in pain
distracts the darkness

caress me
immersed in foam
copy every touch
kisses
go away
swim further
in the past unknown
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

You’re a breath of eternity
in the infinite space
the sense of my existence

lost
on the desert of nothingness
I still feel your kiss
it’s in me

touch me
and set free
from the cage
of loneliness

the prophets fly free
passing the eternal walls

bird’s silent singing
captured in the morning dream
wakes to new life:
pirouetting in the air
disappears in the rainbow
Anna Banasiak Mar 2022
light up in me
with purple of languages
until I go out in you
out of desire

sway me
in the arms
as before

because today black snow
on white earth fell
and life without you
froze
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
Anna Banasiak Mar 2018
The rustle of wings
in the shadows on the sea
the music of peace
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 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
Anna Banasiak Feb 2016
in the mirror of reality
I 'm only the shape of the shadows
looking at hidden light
nothing matters any more
I'm coming back to myself
discovering the sense
of being
Anna Banasiak Jul 2021
closed in time
I’m looking in memory
for days spent with father
making
memories on the crochet
I confuse years unravel
hours escaped us
and smiled
I make a warm sweater for dad
for life
once it loses once it arrives
in strong arms of reality
I find the sense of this moment
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

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
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 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
Anna Banasiak Feb 2020
the rustle of autumn leaves
lulled cats
cuddled on the porch

under the dark blue sky
full of stars
in the moonlight

I see my children
sing them lullabies
read poems
happy
in my real home
hugging my love

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

slowly I find myself
in the dark and bright
future
Anna Banasiak Aug 2019
I apologize mom

that I do not care about the future

when listening to jazz

I write another poem

I find the desired peace
dreams,jazz
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.
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

languages of love
burn inside me
kisses caress
filling
with sensual music
I want You to play it
without words
I will never
let You go

set me free
calm the heat
sway
take in your arms
and hide
from the world

the fluffy dog
searching for the cone and stick
in the nearby park
plays happily with the wind,
neglecting the flow of time

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

In a rocking chair at the window
she was left alone tired
unwanted
still behind the glass she sees
her sons grandchildren
little granddaughter behind the curtain
sad Anka
only old furniture
faithful to death
remained
Anna Banasiak Dec 2016
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.
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
Anna Banasiak Apr 2017
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
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
Anna Banasiak Mar 2016
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
Anna Banasiak Dec 2018
fleeing shadow is afraid of loneliness
looking for heat
purrs in the arms of mother

on the run loses clues
confuses dates and time
twist numbers
in the waiting room of life

tangles
in the ball of memories
intently weaves each day
as if it were the last
Anna Banasiak Jun 2017
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
Anna Banasiak Dec 2018
to my mother

I
in you
without words
with you
the whole world
is laughing
in memory
always together
lulls
my childhood
without you
there is no us
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

“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 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
