Poem: Everything you need

Hubble captures spectacular ‘landscape’ in the Carina Nebula

I dreamed of an everlasting light

guiding all our wheels in the right direction

through the years we persuaded ourselves

that the past is just as real as the future

but our vision of space and time is limited

clocks may just as well be an illusion

offering a stairway of back and forth

what if death is the beginning

                and womb isn't our first home?

what if we already lived this moment

                and made a different decision

                in another plane of reality?

what if the things we feel, we have already experienced

                are memories of another self?

what if the things we do shape the current

                in a bigger way than we pay tribute to?

effecting living over longer period of existence

when you tilt the floor by 360 degrees

you find that what matters stays nestled

in the same corner of your heart

there are things you shouldn't and wouldn't do

but that doesn't mean you won't

the shoes you'll wear may have been worn before

but I know you'll take your own steps

for everything you need is already inside you

         and I'll be strong for you

Last night I was listening to a song by Hans Zimmer, Time, the OST for movie Inception. It's just a perfect song for writing... The mood it creates... and everything that you write listening to that song, seems more epic. :)

Poem: We are theirs

Photo by Elena Kalis

                WE ARE THEIRS

water bleeds out the reflection of me

my body can't hide in the blue light

we paint our bodies, setting milestones in time

in the raw pocket of the universe

where we've been for the last minute or two

I crumble into thousand pieces of regret

searching for guidelines, to define a purpose

learning not to let the current drift me away

I breathe the smell of loneliness

above the ashes of burned bodies we walk

let us chase the moon one last time

may the moonlight tie our hands together

and may the wild spirits living in our bones

reach out for the home they once lost

they keep calling through the depths of fire and flood

                -- we are theirs.

 Another prompt by Magpie Tales, for Mag #182. The image and the song Burial at sea by Mono really created the atmosphere from where I could write this.

Poem: Wait for me

This image was used as album cover for Blind kiss by Head on.

WAIT FOR ME

I felt your ribs

when we were slow dancing

drifting through the city

with its dreams painted on the street walls

and I have mine carved in the halls of my heart

where we hide our most precious things

I felt you shiver

if your love is like a sea

I wish your thorax is full of water

draw me – love notes on my skin

till the fire burns up the bones

and you'll look for me through fountain eyes

love – till the verge of madness

I lure you with my words in this game of blindness

 we like to dress in mystery -  defining our morals

you catch me in a moment  and blind my eyes with daisies

I know your voice, it whispers

between your heartbeats

lose your lips on me

            and wait for me

Poem: Bird in the cage

BIRD IN THE CAGE

I'm catching premonitions

   in the corner of my eyesight

like fallen stars, graciously cold

my fingertips found a teardrop

   under my skin – cells made of me,

like my brain or bones

I knew it as mine – yet a stranger it has become

grabbing me by the hand, leaving me searching...

                for the last breath

some force sweeping us into eternity

then we tumble down

in the last minute - we chase it

face falls down when we meet it,

the last time you say farewell

making history in these seconds

   nothing standing in the way

of becoming who you are

    our lives shared across time

and as I'll swim in the ocean

I'll remember your name

 A patient once said she found cancer in her breast, and she described it as a teardrop. Listening to Nick Cave in the late hours of a summer night made the words flow onward.
