Necessary calmness
Dana Skorvankova Jun 2016
In that particular moment
I wished for nothing but
To abandon my existence as a human
And become one with the tones
Of the Lord's strings
Indeed.

We'll never be good enough for
Some of the people
Anyway

Is it worth?
All in all is all we are.

Words words words
Dana Skorvankova Jun 2016
These words that fill my mouth
Have nothing to do with what I
Wanted to say  ~


Can we listen to the wind of the past?
Dana Skorvankova Jun 2016
We lay there
I, the *******
Stranger towards immortality

Lying
In the confused depths
Of my fatal sensibility

One piece
Never understood
The other two
Crawl away for good

It all's been mentioned
Already in the written past
Of this world of mad kind

And we keep calling it
Different names,
Yet the same lines

Wasted words and
Buried sound

You saved me the day
You came around.

Black dew
Dana Skorvankova Jul 2016
Black dew into the black night
When falling,
Sadness to my dreams is crawlin'

After the last secret
falls out of me

I laugh at this night
coming out of what was she

And after we wake up the other day
the sun's gonna caress thee
I can hardly breathe now
I can write no more

Teď zrovna (Odpovědi)
Dana Skorvankova Aug 2016
I když nemám co bych ti řekla
A sice rána ještě pobolívají,
Přesto ti posílám
Odpověď zpět
Že teď zrovna
Dobíjíš můj svět

A i když není co by mělo
Jenomže tak to asi u nás bývá,
Že to málo pro tebe nestačilo
Skrývá v sobě
Taky další odpověď
Prý teď zrovna
Dobíjím tvůj svět
Jo, jsou lidi, kteří jsou
Jako stvoření k tomu
Aby se o nich psaly básně

                               .. A to je vše.

Lehkost slova pravda
Dana Skorvankova Feb 2017
Ano, ty poslední tóny,
vždycky ty nejvíce vzad,
to ty si s náma pohrávají,
pro ně jsme lehký jak peříčka..

.. A na vše pozdě je,
přestože sotva padla tma.
Alespoň teď vím,
že už nic horšího, než pravda není.
Mé oči jsou odekryté
a horšího víc nespatří
(ruce se mi ještě třesou)
a všechno se opakuje
v kruzích přibližuje se a předtím vzdálí,
a všechno se opakuje
čím dál zajdeš,
tím míň.

Beautiful paradox
Dana Skorvankova Sep 2016
Only the bottle of liqueur knows
What I mean by these words

Only after someone saves you
You joke about life's overdose

Only
Nick of time
Can send you back
From where the Gods all started back a-while

*Life's overdose sounds so funny after all.

LOVE IN THE SHAPE OF A POEM

Captures this
poem well

Love is

Dana Skorvankova Dec 2016
Nechtěná pravda
Se sama nabízí snad i těm,
Jenž za bílými slovy víry a strachu
Pomalu kradou

A tam kde nepsaná pravidla
Nás drží při životě
Já jednou svedu zapomenout

Na všechno z toho,
Za co před tak dávnou chvílí
Měli se mnozí zastydět

A vynést světlo pochopení
Pro všechny co chtějí
Zavřít oči a uvidět.

Down In The Pines
Dana Skorvankova Jul 2016
We live to cease
To cease existing
As the way from
The birth back
To the past

We die to crumble
To Crumble - to fall apart
So that we're not
That easily given
For the last time

We walk to scent
To scent the cold wind
Down in the pines
For we cannot maintain
Our urge to pass

A Single Fact
Dana Skorvankova Feb 2017
I see what you did
I see some people will never be
Even similar in a way,
And yes,
It took me this long
To finally see.

I realize what you feel
I realize some people will never have
A single thing in common,
And yes,
It took me this long
To realize.

I understand what you've thought
I understand some people will never think
The same way after all,
And yes,
It took me this long
To understand.

Yes,
It took me this long
To understand the single fact.

Too late
Dana Skorvankova Aug 2016
Our doubts are already forming a library
with thousands of books rising high above the wall
Dana Skorvankova Jan 2017
How much do we respect others for what they're like
For the glimpse in one's eyes when watching
Maybe the only object of his or her interest
For how mysteriously they tangle new thoughts in that very moment
And for how mysteriously they're being tangled by the thoughts at the time,*

For when I see you looking through the streetlamps
It's everything
And if I've ever wanted to become one with infinity,
It's because I know I might meet you there.

Mighty creatures
Dana Skorvankova Sep 2016
Look for the reason
Not in the child born this mad,
This very existence
Is the best I've ever had
And somewhere there
All of my past I-s live on
They keep on giving substance
To what I was once made from
I've always tended to picture them
Feeding the loyalty to which I clung
Expressing the native creatures
Which I longed to appear among.

Shattered glass
Of every pain that put

Submissiveness
With its meaning long lost

I've never once felt loved
Dana Skorvankova Jul 2016
I've never once felt loved
But I've been fortuned just enough
To belong among those few ones
Who've never once felt loved

I've never once captured a smile
But those many houses I've walked through
Thumbing mile after mile
They've never once captured anyone's smile
Next time you see a storm on the horizon please don’t fear 
Its just heaven doing me the favor of taking you my kiss
Walk outside and kiss the rain whenever you need me

Radši budu sám
Dana Skorvankova Dec 2016
Je to jak vystřižené z filmu
A scény jsou dlouhé jak rok
Ale ten režisér stojí támhle
Někde tak daleko
Jak by mohl vskutku rozumět
Příběhu těchhle dob

Když se poslední záběry točili
A že z tak mála vzniklo tolik ran
A to všechno odešlo, jak přišlo
Že nikdo toho nebyl svědkem
Tlačí mě to u srdce
Ale radši budu sám.
Dana Skorvankova Jan 2017
Doesn't matter where I am
If I am dead or awake,
For everywhere I'll go I'll be aware
Of all the places where I am not
Of all the air I'm not breathing in
Of all the moments of someone else's life

In-there it holds a hell of a mist

A mist so intense I cease to exist

Probouzení
Dana Skorvankova Sep 2016
Dnes v noci si povídám
S milou slečnou
S mou Samotou
A někde tam ve tmě
Cítím její přerušovaný dech

Říkám jí:
'Nikdo se ke mně nehodí
A já k nikomu nepatřím'

A ona mrká na znak souhlasu
Po chvíli odpovídá:
'Jo, tak jsem to pro tebe
vždycky chtěla.
Vždyť víš,
Že má víra je ta nejsilnější.'

Tiše si budem šeptat
Takhle až dlouho do noci
Až dlouho dokud jedna
Po druhé neusneme.
A kdo se probudí dříve?

Saxophones of the world
Dana Skorvankova Jun 2016
The muted state of this world
Keeps disturbing
The shivering noise of my thoughts

..Then I close my eyes..

THE SAXOPHONES OF THE WORLD

I heard them saxophones
In the air

I heard the only saxophone
In this whole world
With its tunes
Floating
High

I once heard the song of a saxophonist
Who died in the gutter,

However,
Something about painting the open seas
is so refreshing.

A Brief look inside
Dana Skorvankova Jun 2016
So take a look inside
For there I left my smile
A note I had to write
That I've found my velvet mine
And I'm gonna sit here till I die
That my eyes are tryin' a-hide
Yet inside my ever-shifting cry
And I guess it's just tonight
And I'm gonna sit here till I die

Take one last look
Strengthen your word
For every mood
The soil's being ripped out off the root
And I'm gonna stand here for good
Blurring the truth underfoot
And the voice is soft and mute
Echoes in the misunderstood
*And I'm gonna stand here for good

Ticho uvnitř
A z vedlejší místnosti
Hlasitý smích

Málo stačilo
Ztratit jediný den
Z těch všech sečtených

Zůstal jsi
U zavřených očí -
Světu venku neuškodit

Nezbývalo mnohé
Než zpod váhy kouře
Dech vysvobodit

Brána uvnitř
A zpoza stěn - veselí,
Hlasitý zpěv

Málo stačilo
Rozevřít hruď, poznat srdce
A uvidět krev.
Lidé se mě občas ptají, co cítím
a já se na nich v duchu usmívám úsměvem ztracených

Too soon
Dana Skorvankova Nov 2016
You said you'd tell me

something about

how does it feel to

lose it all,

not all at once,

but just slowly watch it

crawling away one thing

after another,

that feeling when you

sit there watching,

knowing too well

there's not much

you could do about it.

Well, after all,

I tell you,

I tell you how does that feel

to know too much

about yourself

and yet too little about

anything else,

I tell you I cease

to understand,

but no, I understand very well

every feeling you've ever

told me about, because

someone else has already managed

to explain it to me

a few times, which was

half a life before you

but is still just a couple of pages back.

How can I ever stand up again?

Now go ahead,

you tell me.. :
spaces between the lines hold just about the right time to think about it

- Čas
Dana Skorvankova Oct 2016
"O tom, co stalo se s námi doteď
Od té doby, nevypoví čas -
Čas někdy nejde měřit časem
Ale hloubkou změn v nás,"

To, že už si neklademe
Navzájem otázky tak složité -
Znamená jen tolik, že ty prosté
Stačí zodpovědět rozvitě,

"Z toho, čeho jsme litovali kdys,
Teď umřelo již víc než dost -
Vždyť dospěli jsme v průlom,
Jenž vše proměnil to na radost,"

To, na co vzpomínáme s úsměvy,
Že jednou bolelo za slzy prolité -
Dnes už jen těžko uvěřit,
Jak věci můžou vyznít dvojitě.
Pakliže se celý dav lidí otočil
Zády k oné veliké pravdě,
Já jsem se prostě musela podívat

A než jsem se stačila otočit zpátky
Stalo se, že přešel jeden život
A to jen chvilinku jsem se zadívala
Té pravdě do očí -

A tak se vzdávám
Dana Skorvankova Aug 2016
Usedla jsem a chtěla jsem
Napsat něco silného a velkého
Ale jak jsem se zaposlouchala
Do bolestné hudby venku
To silné ve mně vyhaslo
A stalo se vším, co dokáže rozplakat -
Ztraceným úsměvem včera
Zábleskem vzpomínky dnes
A tak se vzdávám
A smutnější slova
Jsem jakživ nenapsala
Natož abych se je odhodlala vyslovit.

Nepřeju si nic než
Poslouchat tuhle hudbu
Přestože je hudbou bolesti
Nemůžu si pomoct,
Připomíná mi domov
A tak moc bych chtěla říci
Že to je naposled
Jenže to už jsem si mockrát slíbila
A tak se vzdávám
A smutnější slova
Jsem jakživ neřekla
Natož aby je někdo slyšel.

A housle hrají nám

A doprovázeny

Zanikají tóny ve vlastní hloubce.

Kámen
Dana Skorvankova Aug 2016
Před nedávnem byl nalezen kámen
na tom kameni vepsáno slavné slovo
nebylo to 'svědectví' ani 'kletba'
ale něco mezi tím
něco mezi tím mi vnutilo vzpomínku
na ten dávný čas kdy zrodil se kámen
a s kamenem slovo
a se slovem výpověď
a s výpovědí déšť
jenž by ** smyl
a výpověď tak nechal čistou.

Ne všechno se dá vepsat,
ne, zbytek obrazu je třeba dokreslit myslí ~

Each night is good for reliving

Dead Monk

"Death's for the Saint" - 's been said long ago
Time when his sins have all vanished
Been took back from a corner of the soul
Where Monk's life was held and punished

"Lead me, oh the Way, to where I long to be" -
As from the Golden Ones I am now banished
Wash away the country where I was once set free
Where Monk's life was reached and tarnished.

The moon was so majestic and delicate too
And oh I wished so much to bring it down for you
But the sun rose up and told me not to..

Where they tangled up so perfectly, they sparkled
And then suddenly they melted away in a twinkle..

God's march
Dana Skorvankova Jun 2016
That life as we heard of
For those who live it
There's a kind of sad happiness
I enjoy differently,

Incurable is this weight
Descending with the smoke
Rainy landscape is the only
Attitude worthy.

During three straight days
Cruel fate of the dead and punished
Love wearies or disappoints
On the God's march,

No inner dimension
O tarnished happiness
Wondrous lands sheltered me
Left in peace so cold and large.
