Everything I Don’t Have Is You

 

Waiting...

To close my eyes

and to see you before me.

 

Waiting...

For time to pass

and to hear you.

 

Waiting...

To hear a bell

And you to come down.

 

Waiting...

For a bus to come

and you to get out of it.

 

Waiting...

For a miracle to happen

and bring you back.

 

I'm waiting to come reconcile with the fact

that everything I don't have is you.

 

 

There You Are

 

I look up

and I only see

a black line.

- It separates the sky and the hill.

 

I look in front of me

a lighted scene stings my eyes.

Around me - just heads.

Darkness hid the bodies.

Sounds of violin

they soften my heart,

and thoughts fly far, far away ...

 

I wonder where you are.

 

And suddenly,

a bright star

appeared from behind the cloud.

A strange idea came to my mind.

I read the poem again,

And I wanted to scream there you're!

 

         

Moonshine

 

You hear what he says,

but the words are mixed.

You hear everything from word to word,

however, you do not understand anything.

You want to answer

you don't know if you should…

 

The right words seem to be avoided

and they don't go through your mouth.

You know silence also kills,

nevertheless, you decide not to utter a word.

 

There will probably be a rebuke for not speaking,

because you are present and you do not respond.

It will catch you in a tight spot,

 you will not get away easily,

the phrases will haunt you and will not stop until you speak.
