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.
Dana Skorvankova Mar 2018
There is nothing,
no, there's nothing quite alike the rain at night,
maybe a gaze into the stranger's window,
mouthing 'Hello'
along with a nod in sight,
and the stars up there nodding in agreement,
yet nothing like this rain tonight.
Fresh air inspires

Musí to přeci jít
Musí to jít
Žít bez citů

Vždyť svět o sobě
Neví, že je má
Tak, jako neví,
Že vnímám

Musí to přeci jít
Musí to jít
Dívat se bez slz

Vždyť dokud v naší zemi
Nebylo lidí,
Nikdo nebyl s to
Slzu utratit nad ní
A je ticho,
tak, jako bylo
tak, jako bude
Dana Skorvankova Sep 2016
Kousek nebe spadnul ti do cesty
A pokud pro nic jiného,
Tak jen proto si jej važ,

Že ze skromnosti se nelze vypsat
Pokud jste znaveni čtením o cizích životech
Vyčtěte z nich ten váš.

Night breeze
infinite breath
it's been nearly century

If I can't breathe this air in heaven
then I don't even want to go there

Om
namah
shivaya
Om
namah
shivay

If I can't hear these words in heaven
then I don't even want to go there.

'I haven't heard about you
Since we were young
And I wanted you to know,
Even though it's half-a-life ago
Once in a lifetime we were of same blood
Standing hand in hand in the same row'

*- Now that's long time gone
But she was a friend of mine
And I cannot help myself -
For what's been left
Is only love so humble
Made to help me mourn
Cause she's dead now for a day
And I missed a time with her to say
She was a friend of mine.

We need just
One more sun to shine
On us.

Understanding is what wearies us most of all
And behind all this, O sky my sky, I secretly constellate and have my infinity.

Vesmír sedmi dnů v týdnu byl už daleko
Daleko v nedohlednu

Dalekohled večerů do jiter
Zůstal stát nepozorovaně u postele

Jejíž plán v středě vesmíru sedmi dnů
Způsobil ono těžké uzavření srdce

---------------------------------------------------------
­*Daleko v nedohlednu
Vesmír sedmi dnů v týdnu byl už daleko

Zůstal stát nepozorovaně u postele
Dalekohled večerů do jiter

Způsobil ono těžké uzavření srdce
Přes jeho plán v středě vesmíru sedmi dnů
- Jako noření a vynáření z vody

dark wooden walls
solitude
deep in the woods
naked flower
there in the only corner brightened by the
memory of a morning sun -
steam
coffee on the sidetable
by the opened door
the forest air flowing in

Paint with words.
Keep an eye out as the spring will be coming in.

I often already remember things in the future
with the nostalgia I know I'm bound to feel.
Dana Skorvankova Nov 2016
Kdy už přestaneš bít
Zmatené a zametené
Pod práh lidskosti -
Srdce ve své skořápce

Ale co tluče zde uvnitř,
Není srdce mohutné
Není srdce pesimistu,
Je srdce prostě jen smutné
A to tak nějak znamená,
Že jednou najde duši
Své podobně čistou.
Dana Skorvankova Aug 2016
Padněme k zemi před tím velkým světem
Protože nikdo z nás ať řekne cokoliv
Nebude silnější

My všichni tady jsme mrtví
I ty jsi mrtev
Pohřben ve vlastních verších
Které tě přerůstají
A smrtí se pak navrátíme životu -

Padněme k zemi před tím velkým světem
Protože nikdo z nás ať se stane čímkoliv
Nebude větší

Only photographs

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?
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 Jul 2016
There in the city they were even shadows bright
And among them one over your house and the land,
I can't hear what's that you said long ago,
But when you speak love I understand.

There in the valley they were always men who's right
And among them one - bird in hand
I can't hear what's that he sang this morn
*But when you speak silence I understand.

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.
Dana Skorvankova Nov 2016
I'm back
where I found myself long ago
and again after some time
am unconsciously returning

Though this time arriving with scratchy eyes
and undermined self-distraction
And now I say,
admitting that I've surely pictured it differently,
I must be healed over
and over again.
Both bound and frightened of
staying here.
Dana Skorvankova Dec 2016
You did not need me and anyway, who else did

If I'm wrong then world's got a thing to dismiss

How much I die if I feel for everything

And when I'm right it still ain't nobody's lover's business
Get mighty
Dana Skorvankova Nov 2016
I love you* from the deck rail
as when two ships pass, and there's
a mysterious longing and regret
in their passing

It got me into pieces but
I shall not be here
In pain anymore

Shivering life
& I love its poetry
But I must go.

Are we yet able
To recount our whole-life story
Within one day?

We haven't experienced that much then..

Memories,
Masses,
Sundays,

was there really ever a clue
how to stand
against them
or get through?
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.

Each night is good for reliving
the inside wrath over again
just as each day is good for
dying without pain

I'd look for it at all the same old places
but again, I've got stars in my sight.
FIRST words always come so fast and easy, but they're the last ones that make all the difference.
Dana Skorvankova Oct 2016
I remember all of the
Shattered glass
Of every pain that put
Me here,

The unbearable sound of its
Submissiveness
With its meaning long lost
In the wind
Dana Skorvankova Jul 2016
There's a rain on the inside
It falls,
It falls,
In tears,
Vanishes from the memory.
I know
The past beats inside you
Like a second heart.

I've never thought I might hear you
Without a thing being told
Well and I've never thought you're not about to
Write again a single word
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
Dana Skorvankova Jul 2016
Those who sleep with angels
Could never reach the depth of you,
'cause when you've got nothing to care about,
You've got no one to talk to

Those who stand alone straight
Can't never stand behind
'cause the shadows would spread over
Blinding the stars above that shine
And those lights spread widely into the air
Of the moaning stars,
Moaning stars of tomorrow's night.

We all lose in this game
Though
Dana Skorvankova Dec 2016
..
And through the changes
In his silence I could tell


Something's been missing
There oh so well

And I can remember once
Me standing there
Him sitting behind

And though I knew he's there
I was scared he'd be
Nowhere else to find

And through the changes
In his silence I could tell


How was I to fall in love
Into the spheres
Every young girl fell
Dana Skorvankova Jul 2016
For what on Earth
You remain in what you do
May you still have
Blood in your eyes for me
What kind of sin that is
To fall in love with you


What kind of sin that is
To become one with you

Our doubts are already forming a library

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
Dana Skorvankova Jul 2016
You said you ain't got nothing
Just to put your hands on
No rhyme, no song to sing,
Nor place to hide or hut to build,
Have no sacrifice nor strength to feel,
And though you tried so bad
I know It's been so hard to tell
That you're almost gone
That you're hardly standing straight.

You said you surely don't need
Any more time for yourself to bleed
And I heard you spent hours
Sittin' on the shore,
You stood back up with words
That the last book you wrote
Is almost done.
Dana Skorvankova Jul 2016
I never knew I loved someone
Until he'd be gone
And I could never call it by its right name
Until I woke up one day
And something was wrong

I enjoy the breeze I'm given and the soul I was given to enjoy it with

Tyhle básně se tak staly po čase vskutku božstvím -
Patřily do mimolidského světa, ale do lidského světa zasahovaly,
Zauzlovaly jeho příběhy, intrikovaly a prozrazovaly utajované.
Dana Skorvankova Nov 2016
I'm sick of this
I can't cry anymore
I can't live
I won't die
Dana Skorvankova Sep 2016
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
Dana Skorvankova Jul 2016
What if the rain stops falling
What if it never really fell
What if your wishes all came true
And my words replaced your spell

What if a soul is nothing but a trick
What if it's made to make us blind
What if my part is not enough
To make you never feel apart

What a love does to your spirit
What a pulse means to your heart
What if that never had no end
And it's been all the way the start
Dana Skorvankova Aug 2016
He may have been labelled 'God'
But in our most secret hollow
He's not much more than a whisper

I have to say
I'm afraid that
You may have been returned to God
So you remain silent at the break of the day
Whereas here, your echo lingers on
Dana Skorvankova Nov 2016
And ever since I last
Saw you passin' by,

I know,

One day I'll die with you
In my mind.
I cannot think about any other way
this could end up,
love.
Dana Skorvankova Jun 2016
I need to be woken up
Twice
Before I die

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 Dec 2016
You know,
World is full of
Broken people & broken thoughts,
And though everything hurts
And it might be worse,

They're all somewhere there
On this vast night's course
Any day now, you'll admit
The truth has yellow eyes,
Even if the heart's what hurts the most.

Though back then
We all could swore
We couldn't get any more

Let's put it this way:
Someone came just to break a heart
But that's not what I came here for.
..and how is it that each story got only one ending?
