Poems

Yellow and grey

 Gold and ashes

Clattering noises

 Make me alert

 I desire the gold

But find nothing than ashes

 Who told me that is gold?

 And who said the noise

 Is the rhythm of your life.

15.02.22

I hold the sun in the universe

Spreading day across the earth

 When the night puts us asleep

 On my breast moon takes the lead

To send thirstiness into a vein

I’ll feed you with clear pure rain.

This poem is coming from my novel ‘A Letter To Heaven’, chapter 4.

Black swan, black swan,

White’s heart is on run,

Don’t follow poisoned gales,

That wraps your mind in veils,

White can’t hear black’s voice,

It has made its choice,

With a twisted heart, it sinks in a river,

Where it feels no pain forever.

I am a song

 Not a rock,

 Sing me out,

 Don’t roll me

 Down the rock,

 I am airy,

 Not heavy,

 I won’t take space

 In your pocket.

11.06.23

I cannot change you,

 Spare parts these

  They don’t produce

 Anymore,

 It’s better

 If I let you go

 The way you are.

08.06.23

My life is

 A river

 With its turns

 Sharp,

 Waterfalls

 So deep

 I don’t mind

 If I fail,

 I let it

 Take me wherever

 It wants.

This poem was quoted at Batley Library, Batley Poetry evening on 18/11/23

When the sun stops shining

 Above my head

 Hiding itself

 Behind mindful clouds,

 I take my heart

 In my hands

 And let it shine

 Over me.

16.06.23

I came naked

 I can’t fake it,

 And I’ll go naked,

 I can’t take it,

 All that I have

 Is just a show

 Before I go.

18.06.23

Rather water

 I take,

 Not your love,

 It’s too thick

 When I drink it,

 My throat

 Goes thick,

 Please,

 Dilute it,

 Otherwise

 Keep me away

 From it.

24.06.23

I want to swim

In the cerulean sky,

They bring me memories

Of the Baltic sea,

I wish to dive

In them

And pick

All the stars

From cosmos

Blue universe

To bring them home.

26/11/23

I inhale innocent clouds,

Contaminated

By human minds,

My roots grow

Into grounds

Affected

By human hands,

I twist my body

In and out,

And around,

Trying to get there,

Where I can breath

Fresh air.

30/11/23

You twist my work,

My desires and wishes,

You drop poison

In my aged hands,

My mouth and face

Along my voice

Goes informed

In shadows of humans.

30.11.23

One day

I'll give up,

One day,

I'll have enough,

My strength becomes weaker,

I won't be able

To protect,

And that day

Will be a day

Humans will beg me

To stop.

I visited Beijing on 20 December 2023. It seemed so welcoming that I wrote a poem to this beautiful city.

 I read it on Beehive Poetry evening at Josef's K Cafe in Bradford on 15/04/24.

Hello Beijing,

You greet me

With ice

In your breath,

Your loving hands

Wrapped into

Golden sun rays

Stroked my head,

Welcoming me

To run free

In your endless maze.

I visited the Great Wall in China on 22nd December 2023 and decided to write a poem dedicated to it.

 I read it on Beehive Poetry evening at Josef's K Cafe in Bradford on 19/02/24.

Your winds of North

Must not love me

My dear Great Wall,

They hold me tight

In their bony hands

Leading me away

From your mother’s

Loving heart.

This poem comes from my book ‘A Letter to Heaven.’ Originally written on 12.02.22. This is an edited version.

In the sky during the day

The golden sun I lay

The moon from my chest

In the night its silver light rest

I give you water from the rain

New strength for fighting thirstiness

To gain.

This is a poem from my novel ‘A Letter To Heaven’, chapter 16.

 I read it on Beehive Poetry evening at Josef's K Cafe in Bradford on 19/02/24.

My clear road goes hazy

When night falls over me

The moon casts light lazy

To make sure the road I see.

I think I walk on my own

To the place I call home

But angels are looking down

Leaving me not alone.

22.01.24

This is a poem from my novel ‘A Letter To Heaven’, Chapter 18.

 I read it on Beehive Poetry evening at Josef's K Cafe in Bradford on 15/04/24.

Petals from pure gold

Made by the sun

My tired hands bold

Giving me fun.

The sky of rose pink

Spreads petals golden

Making my sadness sink

Freeing me from burden.

Again I can talk

My lips covered with smile

Now I can walk

Another endless mile.

I tend to be

Not such blue,

But I can’t

Get rid of blue.

My mind is bright blue

Early mornings,

But it goes dark

When things get

Grumpy.

But it turns

Back bright blue

When time goes

By.

24/02/24

You are so blue

Moon out there,

So many stars

Surrounding you

Up there,

But there is none

To share

With.

So many people

Gather around me,

But there is nobody

To spare

With.

25.02.24

I’ll bring you blue

My bower bird,

There won’t be reds

Or oranges to fight with,

I’ll heal your wounds

Wrapping them

Into warming

Blue words.

02/03/24

They say,

It’s a blue hour,

But is scattered

With pearls of silver and red gold,

Lined up

Into blue twisted ropes.

Endless colourful images,

Changing and lingering,

On massive canvas.

Trying to mince my brains,

Sky dark,

But glittering blue

With a damaged silver coin

On its chest,

Smoky clouds

Trying to contaminate

Its innocence,

Satellites,

Airplanes,

Spaceships

Are fighting for space

In the blue

Eternity.

My soul feels calm in this navy blue darkness

The silver moon casts its vanilla light in my dusty window.

I stare at it seeing images flashing from my past

And images from tomorrow.

Daylight scares me

It brings new troubles and worries.

I feel as if I’ll wake up on day which is gone again.

23/03/24

My breath comes back

Through rain and moist air.

It’s homesick

Longing to be in me

I breathe it in and out

Letting it re-enjoy adventure again.

20/04/24

I asked the time

Where does it run?

It replied to me with raving engines of cars,

Clattering people's footsteps,

Voices of birds, the noise of the wind,

Moving clouds and shining sun in the sky.

I’m a river

That streams to the point

Where humans think

There is no return.
