Not a single cloud in the sky
Only fiery miles away sun
And birds that can never stop
Themselves from flying
Or wanting to sing
My thoughts are the ones
Of an old wrinkled man
The one who is no more
In this world
Only perceives the time
Needing some space not to be
Questioned
To be left alone
Watching the setting sun
Or only to sit with closed eyes
Feeling all the fallen pasts
If only the world could wear silence
Though it seems as heavy burden
For life is no silent task to endure
Even when there is nothing living at all
And there is no one to hear the storm
Sounds of thunder reincarnate
The will to live as it stubbornly calls
For attention

*But gets none

It is now four and the stars
Are beginning to gently fade
The morning tools to eternity
To bring back horses of reality
To wake up this hostile sun
To separate us from hopeful dreams

I'm lying in the bed thinking
Of how I'll never see you again
But feel you beneath this face
Made of pieces of happier memories

It's always you who I make my tea with
Who I spend my days talking to
Who is no longer here
Only the darkness never runs
In which I stand like solitude hill
Afraid of dreams that lie
And then there comes the empty
Malevolent sun

Still the damage has been done
Jozef Vizdak Sep 2016
Do not give my words back
Because they are yours
(Because you are inexcusably
And they are the mirror)
Do not give my words back
For they are the pain
Washed over by summer rain
(Love lost found and lost again
In dirt Lying burning in vein)

Half moon there and
Half somewhere else
Even stars wonder
Only moon knows

How can people cross the night
Without a thought of suicide
When the only light is light
Of cigarette burning in fight
And the stars wonder
Of ones that are dying or getting older
Each day each night
Without a thought of suicide

Half moon there and
Half somewhere else
Even stars wonder
Only moon knows

How can people live through the night
Without trying suicide
Maybe it's the half moon gone
Knowing how it is to be alone
In this long dark night
Having only half a heart
For the other one left
With tears and screams
Hopes and laughs
To die somewhere inside

Come dear brothers and sisters
a generation to come
not with iron chains
and tedious talks of freedom

Come you children of Sartre
and even of Nietzsche
for we head for common ground
whilst they only feed on war

Come forth spirits of the love age
full of Buddha and compassion
for ours is a time to come
theirs exhaling its last breath

No love for
war
        nation
                    hatred
                               racism
overcome prejudice to live in peace
maybe even be sad for a time
but never cause harm
never cause death
never wish ill
compassion
to all

Yesterday the other man
cried bitterly absorbed by
solitude of his blue eyes
Today I smile warming
charmingly (hiding cowardly
in the depths of nowhere
above the clouds under
the sky) people who know not
(do not want to know) about
the clash of storm and light
while stillness remains intact

Yesterday the other man
jumped from the bridge only
to be welcomed by gentle
perishing touch of river god
who gave him his life
(even though death was asked)
Today I fold my freshly dried
clothes and hide them on
the highest shelf never to be found

Yesterday the other man
ran and disfigured his soul
to not understand love’s call
Today I try to find something
I lost but forgot what it was
just roaming through back alleys
with hope for touch (but it
is already far too long)

Yesterday the other man
lied in my bed and through
closed eyes he saw woman beloved
in flowery dress with silent hair
barefooted luminous and fair
his dreams betrayed him once again
for in the morning she was never there
*Today I wake up alone
afraid to die
not knowing how to live

I met her by chance
Beneath her black glasses
She hid sad beautiful eyes
Her lips firm only sometimes
Gave me a pleasure of smile
But still it was sweetest of times
When she talked I couldn't rest
Hanging on her words
In my head and in my heart
I felt colliding of worlds
And soul long lost showed
Itself lifting me from Earth  
My limping life shed a spark
And I knew everything was right
I couldn't believe before
But I found love on first sight
She was sceptical and mocked
Me if I'd remember my love in the morning
But I did and it was only growing
Though I felt she was broken inside
As I was before I met her
I wanted to help so badly
To show her there was something more
In that moment and place
She wasn't listening and did drugs
And I did too to hide the pain
For every moment with her
I wanted to come again
Neither kiss or touch was shared
But it pulled me to her even in
My sleep I cared for her
For her I was mad
Dedicated to certain lady S.
