if right now
I were to tell
of a thing that I’d do
for the rest life on
you know I’d say this

this is… magic
poetry is magic
and in this
I feel like only in this
am I ever true
and good

good
it is a strange word
one does not hear words
this simple
a lot now

good
it is so honest.
in its mediocrity
it leaves room for nothing else

right now
I think that poetry is good.

There goes... I know some bits of poetry, and I know this is not it. Simple poems, stumbling poems, repetitive, childish (the very modern poetry that revolts me), ugly in their mediocrity, like countless faceless folks - don't care, will not let myself this time. Thought I would not reveal these, so I tried to write for nothing, and managed to write for little. I like these, perhaps much more than my fancy poems. My exams had been from 18th June to 4th July, so that's that.
Nights are pretty. I like them more than the moon.

what would it be like to let go?
to let myself get that low...
what would it be like to jump?
to let my demons have triumph...
what would it be like to fall?
to never wake up from it all...
what would it be like to die?
to let my soul fly...
what would it be like to cease?
to let myself rest in peace...
a contemplation on mortality. i am okay.
When you are in love
Daybreak brings you fairy dust
Glittering on fields of four-leaf clover.

When you are in love
Crows take music lessons
And sing to you Brahms Lullabies

When you are in love
The clock turns into Jello
And time loses all meaning when together

When you are in love
The Moon becomes your closest friend
And you can tell her all your secrets.

When you are in love
The world becomes a magic place
And you’re the Head Magician.

Just leave me alone
I don't need your hand to hold
just give me my space
until I'm right for this place

You and me

Were meant to be

Because you’re the one piece of art

forever in my heart
You are beautiful
Inside and out
