whatever horrible situation
people put you (me) through
do not worry dear sailor of mine
for you (me) will soon eat fruits
of karma and the universe.

maybe few gods and goddesses
will get their hands ***** in
your (mine) garden preparing
the soil for you (me) to grow.

even angels could be by your (my) side
flapping wings whispering quietly
you (I) should pay attention

to all the signs
universe

is showing us.

my sailor, my harbour
Patricia Cikus Jan 2018
you rugged old sailor
get lost in the sea
let your ship break
if it's meant to be

drown, sink to the bottom
let vastness of the ocean consume you
then you'll realise
that you have to drown first
to be born again

amidst salt sand and waves

now come to the surface
breathe with your lungs cleansed
and your soul cured
by the powers of the abyss

Stargazing
Patricia Cikus Feb 2016
they say when you put your finger into the sea
you're connected to the whole world
but when i touch your skin...

i feel like i'm connected to the whole universe
to every atom in your body which was once a part
of some other being, some other thing

star, water, air, earth, animal, human

and when i think about it more and more
seems like i'm attached to you because
maybe - just maybe  - some atoms in my body

were once part of some other being,
some other thing, along with yours.
and i believe more and more in carl sagan's quote that

*"we are not figuratively, but literally stardust."

From Ashes We Will Be Risen
Patricia Cikus Jan 2016
i know there is a little spark
of your love for me still in your heart
you should know that my heart burns
you set it on fire with your words, hugs and kisses

and that love you set fire to it will never be put out.

i want that love to burn us to the bones
and cleanse our souls
from pain and negativity
from fear and misery

so our love can flourish and bloom once again
just like plants bloom on the burnt soil
after the forest fire, young, fresh and pure
and they grow, grow and grow to become

big, tough trees putting shadows over
every problem we will encounter
because no problem will ever be bigger
than our love.
This is for us, Mr. Brightside. I love you, please free yourself from pain, fear and misery.

after four years of loving Him,
i have finally gotten over Him
in just two gorgeous months spent with You.

and now He wants me back
but i don't want Him.
it's too late for us, He had waited for too long.
now he suffers just like i did for four long years.

i build a three story home
inside my heart for You,
next to a river of my blood,
river flowing through my body
near the forest of my veins and arteries.

and there is no room for Him.
only for You.
Thank you, Mr. Brightside, for being one of my biggest inspirations.
Thanks to Him, I've learnt that what goes around, comes around.
Patricia Cikus Jan 2016
i walk down the street alone
through the crowd early in the morning
wishing you were beside me
so i could show you all the small things that make me happy
and i'd feel my heart is heavy like it's made of lead
because you're so near, yet so far
i can't get to you, i can't make you happy
you have to find happiness in yourself
then you will be able to love me back
to tell me that without hesitation
and we will be able to be happy together.
Please, be happy and content with yourself, Mr. Brightside. I love you.

Prayers
Patricia Cikus Jan 2016
you will always be on my mind
you will always be every one of my thoughts
you will always be what i have been looking for
you will always be someone i never want to let go

i want you to be happy
to find peace within your soul
to realise we can have it all
to come back to me

i am thankful for meeting you two and a half years ago
for every precious moment we had had
for your smile, laughter and provocations
for every virtue and every flaw of yours

i pray for you every night and day
for you to be content with yourself
for you to find what you are looking for
for you to realise you are worth all of this pain i feel for you

you will always be the one who changed me.
i want you to be the one who will change me once again.
i am thankful for you who succeeded to change me.
i pray for you to be the one who will change for me.
This is for you, Mr. Brightside. I will never let you go. You are my biggest inspiration.

A Blessing, Or A Curse?
Patricia Cikus Dec 2015
why do i always
fall in love with broken people,
thinking i can repair
them -  their hearts, their minds...?

i want to fix them.
i pour molten gold out of my heart
and into my hands.
i burn them with it so i can
repair their cuts and put their broken pieces
back together...

but for them, it's hard to say that they're beautiful,
even after they had been broken,
even after i've poured all of my molten gold out of my heart
and burned my hands to blood with it
trying to put them back together.
Thank you, Mr. Brightside. You changed me, showed me what my purpose on this world is.

Silence
Patricia Cikus Nov 2015
silence so loud
but not awkward at all.
it's kind of enjoyable to sit there
next to your grave
just like i was once sitting next to you
in your hospital room.

at least i know you're at peace.
Thank you, Grandmother. I love you.

Light
Patricia Cikus Nov 2015
just like the long distanced supernovas
the deceased people cast their light upon us
years after they're gone
I think of you from time to time. Thank you, Grandmother.

Flight
Patricia Cikus Nov 2015
take me higher
than the lakes and rivers
forests, hills, mountain peaks
among the clouds and the cold
among the stars and meteors
the comets, the planets
the stardust

take me higher
with your love and passion
with your provocations
with your whole self
(but you've already done that)
and there's no return.

Silver
Patricia Cikus Nov 2015
moonlit pale, sweaty skin
ghastly darkness surrounding both of
us.
Us.
we are children of cosmos
we are walking uphill against the wind
we are fighting our inner demons
demons stopping us from loving each other
strong wind messes with our hair
it's chilly outside on a windy november evening
i could walk that path with you forever
if only it could last forever

Wonder
Patricia Cikus May 2015
i wonder
if i could make you happy
if i was able to hold happiness
firmly in my hands.

if you could reach for it
like a mother reaching
for a newborn child
like an addict reaching
for another drink.

i wonder
if that would make me happier
aswell.
This goes for my best friend of almost 16 years. I hate to see you miserable and sad... Special thanks to Her, Nedys and the biggest motivator, Poet.
Love you all.

Sunlight hides a secret
Patricia Cikus Nov 2013
Sunday morning.
You are fighting against
dreaming and sleeping.
Sunlight sends its beams
through the window.
You look at it half asleep
you see tiny little dots
dancing in the air
in the beams of the morning light
little dust fairies
with wings so fragile
a breath could destroy them.
Special thanks to Her and Him.

Jealousy
Patricia Cikus Nov 2013
I* am jealous of
your *bed

your sheets
your shirts and perfume
and smoke of your cigarette

because they wrap and cloud around you
touch you, feel your dark, soft skin
feel your warmth

when I cannot do those things
when I am too far away
spending my lonely afternoons
wishing to be

your bed
your sheets
your shirts and perfume
and smoke of your cigarette.
Dedicated to Him. I spent more than three years loving him, and I've learnt so much during that time. Thanks to Him, I've learnt what love is.

— The End —
