Under racing rays of light, I woke up in dreadful fright.
Darkest vision came to me, black as smoke-ostensibly.
Shallow eyes and stinky breath, held a power in its hand.

Honestly, I had not much of interest in short ...

Okay, my current WIP is not about a world where Death does not exist. What a senseless world it would be where no one dies, right? But the story is close on the tail of ‘what if there wa...

The last thing I ever planned or wanted, for that matter, was to write poems. But occasionally things happened on their own and for past years I've written quite a few dozens of them....

In loneliness, I keep my chair,
In it I breathe, in it I pray.
For every other being there,
I leave a note, a word on it. 
For those, who come,
For thos...

Her skin – a transcendent ivory cream
Lips – soaked with moist ocean
Reflected in her bottomless
Endless eyes &nd...

If depression had teeth
It would be tiny little knives
Meant to pierce
Meant to tear
You and me, and that boy on the street
Sometime...

It’s like a battlefield,
I don’t want any of you in my room
Searching for place to enjoy
In the pour of the Moon
And then as soon
As the light di...

Shelter of my heart was robbed
I let someone too close
without thoughts
of possible bedlam
not caring for the locks
on doors
and bam!
all stole...

So, i wrote...
if you were a grain of salt
i would rub you on all of my wounds,
and you laughed-
master of pain
causing eruption of light

not angry
not with you, of course,

there is no air under water
nor can i see the shores

slender shadows
on my dry-skin fingers,

celebration of the holy night

where two leave
wet tracery

of abandoned ocean

in the abyss
of dead stars

drinking the fluid
of their cries

dreaming to see
the sunrise

and where were you?

i've got a visitor
to countless rooms
of my restless mind

i hear -

rumbling sounds of chains
as a chair's being dragged

echoing pulse...

my bones got tired
to hold me
instead of your arms

[ how plain is my tragedy
how doltish are whines ]

and still
my bones grew weaker,

on the tipping ground
bare
with nothing to hide,

dare me to smell
toxic roses

you brought this sadness
to my feet
this crave
to stay in deadly silent motion

but like a shadow
following its shade
i'm staying

cause my soul is
a hibernation of chaos

two fingers deep
in the glove

i welcome
this passing by darkness

with open arms
and rehearsed ...

your pain
is grotesque of your life

like chevalier of fortune,

peace keeping lie,

and yet

wisdom of voice
that tells you the vastness of c...

each time you look into my fire
you call it warmth of hell

and yet
what if the hell is not the fire

what if
the hell is lack of it?

this world is one gigantic room

feels like there are no windows
to see it through

but anyway

each star above
is soul of poets

who lived an...

or is it just my tears?

no problems

it is not the worst to live in diamond prison
with bound wrists
tiptoeing on the ground of bones

the worst is loss
unfounded yet so brittle
loss of things...

one day, when words are dead
and are forbidden sounds

we will discover other ways
to share our mutual desires

when all the lamps go blindly dark
and we...

among candy wrappers
and broken bottles of wine

in the sour reality
of the evenings

in someone's house
where no one even car...

to the kneeled before your ghostly shape

it made nothing to us, but show
how low will be our grave

this scorch on the edge
of each cell in my body

feels like
i've never been kissed before

feels like I hover,
soaring high and yet crawling so low.<...

i seek you in the Moon
blindfolded
in the dark

i seek you on the side
in torture
sad
and drunk

i seek you like no one
with passion...

i don't know if i dare
to look away
another time
we find each other
in the nest of crowd

two white crows
you and me or me and you

than you would care to count

in sauce of half-breed truth

taste like acrid blood

i had my faith
in a wrong place

not my fault
that eyes are meant
to stare ahead

and finally
i think
i am afraid

to face the one...

you are my path
i walk it bare and hungry

in love
we are two shining spheres of wild

whereas in life
we float like icebergs - quietly 

my shore is a lonely spark
snuffed out by the winds
of your ocean

i'm not a child of devotion

i'm an orphan

of you wicked disbelief.

i'm known
but not by you

time goes
and roof is growing lower

you keep your feet
with hope
to finally become the part
of blooming flow...

i've been ripping myself
from inside out

limb after limb
in savage denial

stubborn and restless
reaching to what?

good in me bleeds
...

kindness is my isolation

i could walk the world
in new shoes

but everyone avoids complications

sad news,
i'm one of them.

for a long time
it lived

for a short time 
it died

legends followed
its game

but then
forgot to warn

dead can't see...

silver melts
on the curves of my throat

why is this city so cold?

street after street
in wander I walk

so many roads
but all seem just wrong<...

cracked like a dry clay
how can i stay?

fear me, my darlin'
fear me for who i am

for no one is coming
to save us today

and each tender mo...

this voice
inside your head

these spoken
words

that spin
your head

belong
to someone else

so why 
you trust it?<...

some come to purify my darkness

but all they really do

is pouring bleach 

on my flourishing in storm murk.

why this witch is dancing
when half of the world is on fire?

because she lost the weakness
to love you like an impire

as if no tragedy was gonna happen <...

if i can't breathe again
i force myself wake up

and walk

where?

does not really matter
i'll figure on the way.

my roots
spread wild
in the foreign ground

no place
is allowed
to leave behind

memory's touch
leaves prints
on the trunks

never
too short
for a promise

given
no price
and no order

abolished
in reeling
of notice

distilled
by vangeance

this rain
in my heart
is more of a honey water

dripping
this flesh of my insides
like a flood
of celestial event

pure
and

who is next?
this heart is such a mess

for hosting someone special

all the sweet
wonderful
sunny
things
are sinister

to the mind
that

through the curtain
of tears bitter

there is magic in fog
and darkness
in all that is white

there is no warmth
in cold

to search for that

it feels like home
to suffer

tearing myself
bit after bit

no need
for judging

masochism is
my kink.

you mean to me
what thunder means to ocean

when life on the wave
crushed against ridgy cliff

i try to hold back
my emotions

but there are day...

don't give me hope
for the days
that yet to come

stay with me
on the day
that is here

howling through night
holding so tight

that never gets better
no matter how many times
you agree to repeat

no one is meant to walk
with a scorching feather

i cannot know
ahead

when turning
by mistake

away from
dreams

and towards
tears

sliding
on the ice of grieves

remind me
how quiet beats the heart
once the love is dead?

how cold
all the hands in the world
suddenly feel

how senseless is
morning and...

stand still and wait
this rope
is going down

my sense of pleight
is crumbling
falling under

before my eyes
an inch away
from touch...

my father was a man of picture
his brooding stare
sharpened by the cold

he wore the stones
deepened in the fiction
of his shortly cutted soul

hi...

you're lulling me
on words
emerging
from the folds
between the sheets

i will forget more times
than usual

then ask you,
to rem...

he comes and goes
i come and stay

as if my time is longer.

he asks and takes
i ask and give

as if heartbreak is normal.

for everyone ...

i gaze upon your ruse
you're like wounds
that ooze

in crimson decadence
your form
is dripping sadness

in hands
that trusted you to ho...

i broke a twig
and perished all my love

it flew away

like smell of dripping juice
through weakly breathing trunks

and rattled though my skull

she bloomed
as plague
in early 19th century
adored all shades of red
and taste of bloody tragedies

ignorant of the worst
tragedy of plague

you were a ghost
who never uttered
a word, kept paralyzed
in the jar of your mouth

colony of undefined
illusions
you were its only
and favor...

in beading sweat - knee deep in murky water
i saw a vision of my poetry
dead.

it was drifting away
on a radio wave
crashing in sway
smoke of a bloo...

i stopped to think about rain
and got a tear
inside my eyes

do you remember evening bench?
that porch, cascade of downpouring night?

the road back home...

i was left in the solace
of my chaos
among misplaced things
i've been owning
for life

in silence of figures
between arrows
of my dusted ...

i want to fall in love
but so afraid of falling

tripping over leg
that was supposed to hold me

following my dreams
and then forgetting road

your dagger in my starving chest
is tipping to the tender flesh

of heart that beats
for no one anymore

but trust is overrated

where only one is dancing

i received
with the glow of the moon
a new lullaby

to accompany me in the night

and new pair of eyes
in the leaving
on sunrise
stars

see,
he is a tangle
in the pit of my exhausted thoughts

black ink
that makes my nights a terror

he is a savior
who saves the storms

inside my heart
that smolder 
through my flesh

at my sides

Go save them all – go, save the most

In wander locked behind the wall.

I am the things you dust in October

Safe in the fold of your scarf,

I am the bone in the broken wing

Of a loner

Not lonely

I took the stone and turned in stone

As if I was not born and never ever lived

I left the piece like leaves the soul

Cold body of the weak.

This city is too tired

To live in foot with me,

Slouched buildings -

Cold and violent,

Canned people - all I see.

And soulles...

There is a roof

Where one sits, smoking silence

Mindless to the noise

Of the passing cars below,

Drinking looming sadness

Like it’s only...
