24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
Poet, essay writer, amateur philosopher
Sir, lend me your Black Pearl
Or tell me a good price for it!
I need it and I need it now to leave
The sea of sorrow where I can drown.
I was not inspired to make
A voyage to the past and now
I risk to get drowned
In my own tears and memories.
And something magical he said:
You need no ship to get you out of here!
Just wake up, live the present, feel the future
And hope will bring you safely on love’s beach!
I am what I am
And what you aren’t.
I need no gemstones to shine
And I could write my own song of ice and fire.
I am no caped hero,
But I have my own battles
Where good usually prevails.
What about you stranger?
What do I see at my window?
I see birds playing and singing,
I see flowers trying not to wither,
I see you passing by every day.
And guess for whom do I look at
the window each and every day?
Where will I find my love?
In a museum or in a concert hall?
At the market or on a bus tour?
Why can’t I guess the right location
for our very first encounter?
Magic would make all much easier!
My life was black and white
until now; when will I have colour
in my life? Maybe my next love will
bring some colour into my grey life!
Mountains of lies and of garbage,
that’s all that I get from you.
Are you not willing to change anything?
Don’t shed crocodile tears because
I won’t receive you back.
You let go of my arms and now you
are on your own. Life sucks, right?
I love nature and she loves me back.
The wind caresses my hair, the waterfall
caresses my ears, clouds simply embrace me.
Butterflies spread their wings, bees do their work,
everything is fine when I plant flowers in my garden.
And I do this thinking of you my love!
Love me for what I am,
Don’t try to change me much
and I’ll try not to change you much.
If you don’t respect this, we might
have couple problems and lose what we have.
I don’t want to lose you, but I also don’t want to
lose myself; is that clear? Will you respect our pact?
I invited you to my place
to drink a tea together.
I liked you and wanted to
be with you, but you told me
clearly that you came for tea only.
I was so disappointed that I swore to myself
that I’ll never again invite a man to tea!
It’s better to sip a coffee in town on a neutral
ground than to be offended in your own house!
Where are you? You ran away
and I lost you forever.
No sign from you, total silence.
What a pity! I really loved you.
But my pure love did not reach
your heart, did not reach your soul.
Is that because you are shallow?
Is that because I was stupid enough to love you?
I did not fall in love, I just fell.
I fell in depression because of you
but I promise that I’ll rise again!
You mocked me enough, I will
come back to life as Phoenix!
So guys, where are my diva glasses?
