Balance

Whenever I give away something,
I think and think and try to find out
who’s the most worthy of my disposed belongings
hoping to find the poorest,
the one who’s in most need.

The other day,
God, knowing my effort to be fair,
decided I should lose my baby
because I dared to have the feeling of righteousness.

***

Whenever a product has two prices,
one above another (one hidden),
I cannot help thinking that the hidden one is lower.

And what if the same thing happens in life:
at birth you are given a certain route
which will be changed
so that your value increases –

God is always a plus
and we need a certain time to adapt
to other’s happiness,
to His equations.


Opal

An embryo
not vigurous enough
left the uterus.

***

As I passed by,
the old man at the corner of the street
hid his wings.

He was no angel after all.

People say angels are young
and God has grown old
just like an embryo should grow-

larger than mere Hope,                    
more eager than Life itself.

Unless its wings are being hidden on purpose.


***

Trains of faith lose their way in the dark of the memory -
nobody gets brighter,
nor better.

***

The sun plays happy at my sight.
Half-witted,
my shadow

does the same.

Eyes laden with tears

They say :
‘She lost her baby’.

But nobody in sky or earth
would tell her
where.

I’ll try to get closer
to them all…

Seen through a tear,
the air I breathe

catches the colour of hope.

abracadabra

I don’t know why poeple do things
I don’t know why poeple don’t do things

simetry is a rare form of loving the self
simetrical steps
simetrical falls
out of repeated forgiveness

yet we are told to be
different
ever different
further more
to reinvent ourselves

truths don’t get to settle into shape
they pass from hand to hand
from wound to wound

death stays the only one that cures all


lover God

you’re like a word
that doesn’t exist 
in the dictionary

yet spoken

you arouse my meaning




a stream of consciousness


in the city of Dublin
the seagulls cry out their desire
to fly back to the open sea
hearing them I think of my space
reduced to the one-way sky

a stranger tells me
to look at the large picture
I wonder how could I
every second shrinks my shadow
ironically I sip my English tea
when you awkward stubborn sun
make my field hurry towards a late green

I can’t swim against the stream
but unaware of a deadline yet
I linger on the streets of my poems
