I’ve just made a pause

Because of so many things,
swirls and underlined words,
unspoken thoughts wrapped in
cellophane, glowing by night
twinkling under the day light

I’ve just made a pause

At a loss for words
speechless and torn
from the inside out
twisted and restless,
moving while dreaming,
standing still walking


I’ve just made a pause

Filled an empty cup
with cold, sparkling water
took a sip
to throw out all
the *******
I’ve gone through

Because of you
Because of you

Having you,
having me
there is a place
where
we should be
- wishfully
but, time planned
sharping edges,
leaving you
leaving me
- breathlessly

S.G.
Somebody..
Somewhere..
Sometimes..
Somehow..

Will walk
beside
with radiant smile
catching the Sun.  

Have you been born jet?
Are you alive?
With radiant smile...
For fifty cents
we bought ten eggs

For fifty cents
we bought a kilo of oranges

For fifty cents
we drunk espresso
in a coffee
across the street

For fifty cents,
at the flea market,
they were selling
at the car hub,
Jacque Prevert’s
- Charmes des Londres…

We bought that too

Driving through the clouds
Chill breeze,
Boring rain

No Sun at all

Just a cold
Chill flows,

At the wings
of gold
I miss chill breeze,
sharp peaks,
pair of gloves,
gentle smile
on your face

… meadows and planes

Obscured by the clouds
of thoughts,
floating above the ground
stretched on the cold,
high peaks
- windy lines,
like a puppet
on a strings
of dream

… miss you in all
high above …

If
If
If there is a place
in time,
will you just give me
a shred of your
smile?
I was at the Moon tonight
there was nobody there,
it was a Sunday!

I was spreading out my hands
towards the icy scenery,
away from other people eyes,
away from the words

I was swimming to the Moon,
took a long journey,
dressed in silver cloth,
walked across

on a Sunday...
Simplifying
helps you reach
a solid ground
and the blue sky
behind

Drawing patterns
of life,
with a tips of fingers,
mixing colors
on a palm,
without having a strength
for a firm grip
knowing things,
deliberately letting go

And, why asking
questions, when
everything is so simple?

Even the blue sky,
highlighting
all around
Just ask, simple
why?

Thinking of…
Mountains...
Meadows...
Sea...
Sky...
Sharp peaks...
Cold leaks…

Mostly,
of the time,
that passes by

Horizon
that shrinks,
into the tiny
blue line
shivering -
so far
Have you ever seen
the blue light shining over
the flat field in the night
under meteor
light?

Stop! It comes from
the Lion constellation
shiny like a pin top
at the start -
lighting at the end
like a glowing ball

Stop! And come beside -
just lit the light
with a smile
gentle smile,

just try…
Some people wander around
while other wander by mistake
I just hope, for myself
to overtake

Flows and thoughts,
lines and words,
having on mind
meanings and deeds

If there is something,
somebody,
so exposed indeed?
Wrapped in a cellophane,
like a sweet need

I’ll try than
not to overtake,
but to wait -
reordering scope,
compassing
my deeds
Straight line
cold scenery
icy water surface -
just perfect
stage for
a hug

White lace
of snow contour
attached
to your eye brows
and lashes -
just perfect
scenery for
a kiss

Isn’t it a beat
too sweet
to wrap a hug
or a kiss
in a perfect scenery
when you
miss somebody?

When, any place
will suit -
when you’re
gasping
for the moment
...
instead of the place

Hope?
- NOPE!
For fun?
- RUN RUN RUN!
To drink?
- ONE OR TWO!
To live?
- OR TO DIE!
To love?
- OR TO SAY GOODBYE…

Having no reason
to write this -
I’m writing.

Having no reason
to love someone -
I do love.

Having no reason to
say something -
I’m shouting.

Having no reason
to be happy -
I’m smiling.

Having no reason
to be what I am,
I am - for so many
reasons
Swirling my mind
in a kaleidoscope
of thoughts -
trying to find
simple line

letting go,
having on mind,
all that was left
behind

with a smile,
just with
a smile

It snows,
and it occurs to me,
to go there -
on that same path of snow,
surrounded by trees,
with heavy branches
to the ground

But since, you’re
not there
anymore -
all that is left
is just simple
white,
crystal clear
snow

and it snows

So
So
So,
do you think about autumn?
Leaves and winds,
just for a while...
Can you stop the time?
         Slice of life
taken from photographs,
kaleidoscope of life,
leaves and wings,
put behind
- time from time,
just behind

So,
do you know about
circumferenced dreams?
         Trapped inside,
whilst autumn leaves
falling down,
yellowing scenery
all around


I was sitting by the river side
watching the waves -
yesterday noon,
mighty river runs,
crushes and turns

Wind was so strong,
so was I – sitting there,
at the same spot
we were for the
last time
together

And the shimmering water
reminds me of
the moments…

*
Now I know that
everything was
fake -
every single smile
you gave,
word you said,
kisses and hugs,
simply fake.

… so rude
It reminds me of you
and radiant smile,
while vanishing points
are so far
and it makes me wonder
- why?

Blue shadows in the courtyard
covered with yellow and red
flower pistils,
white petals shiver
under the chilly breeze -
breathing a new
spring time

And, I keep asking
myself
- why?
I can climb
I can walk through thin walls
of desire
I can swim
I can run, run, run
- Having fun!

I can see if there is something
to be seen
I can be free if I’m willing to
BE!
I can love if you’re free
I can be strong if there is a need
I can be so many things
If I want to be

I can set you free,
wishing you to be happy
Yes, I can
I can
I can

The me I never was
still, listless or dull,
catching winds
and waves, talking
with a seagulls
passing by
above

And sometimes,
it seems to me,
that the life is
like a big blue
whale,
cruising around
in miraculous way

So stay,
just stay...
Here is the place
where the light
comes in,
and a few scattered
things, at the table,
in front of us

Orange, sliced at the half,
grapes and hard cheese,
open book,
with underlined text,
paper, with drawings,
and the silence -
all around,
like a stranger,
between us

How to end
the endless year
Fulfilled with such
loss and pain

How to overlap
the gap
between me and you
Simple...
Don't have a clue

Just a bright light
twinkle around us
in a form of newborn life
emerged in this world
as a ball
full of love

- glowing from above
Try
Try
If you try…
It depends on you..
...Know
Just if…

Than,
the sky will go brighter,
or, just time will
swirl around, helping you
- while trying,
to stay on the line
- so, try,
just try
Urban or rural?
Singular or plural?
Natural or artificial?
Real or fake?
- Mostly mistake

It's always the same -

Kind a jealousy on a chill
breeze floating through
vast nature at the mountain Ural

Like unforgettable moments
in parallel universe,
underlined with
reddish line -

Sometimes

Like a scream,
viral in time
where there is no space or time -
when the limits has been
shown as a thin line -

Just thrown
far behind
First, there was the air
then, she came along
with turquoise winter cover,
hands covered with
snow white gloves
- wearing a smile,
leaving the footprints
behind

Cold wind came silently,
playing with
blankets of snow,
covering sparkling sight
and blew,
blew

It was silent,
chill and bright,
- a moment mixed
with desire,
and the wind blew,
crystalizing site
in a blue,
dazzling ice

— The End —
