Thoughtful (Apstract)

 Book

(June 2021)

What is book, but an object

Item made of wooden corpse

And though I love that smell of paper

It´s not alive, has no soul

But on those pages words are written

Thoughts presented by the ink

That´s the subject, that´s the story

Heart and narrator´s glory

So when you ask me; what is book?

Is is nothing in itself

But book contains riches rare

Imaginary, borderless

Dead leaves

{November 2021}

Collect those dead leaves

before they turn to dust;

colors of dead nature

invoke romantic´s lust

Collect those precious Nature´s gifts

and preserve them fast;

their memories and memoires,

mourn their knowledge lost in the past

Ribs

(August 2022)

If I could, would I break my ribs?

Hear them cracking

As one of them slits

Through my skin

Will it reveal my meaning?

If I could, I´d break my ribs

Just to see what´s behind them

There´s a heart pounding anthem 

And our bones are meaningless

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Walking Calculator

Walking calculator/Wannabe elevator

Poor misunderstood machine/creature

It can´t rise to the 2nd floor

But it can do so much more

What a purpose, just to count

Produce equations, multiply

Still this loser even can´t

Change its destiny 

Lacking wits to go against

Mechanism in its chest

Engine just does what it must

Empty knowledge, worthless dust

• Corset
• {September-October 2022}
• 
  
• A girl disappeared
• Locals call her weird
• Her absence was a bliss
• But now she´s missed
• Do you know where she is?
• 
  
• At home, all alone
• In her comfort zone
• Locked up in a closet
• She takes in a deep breath
• To fin in a corset
• Squeezed in it real tight
• Ashamed, deranged
• It´s a poison, a remainder
• That she´s a failure
• 
  
• Doesn´t want to be seen in this state
• She´ll come back with a smile on her face
• Bones protruding through the corset she wears
• Do compliment her because she looks so well
