I seize the night sky

It started
when they constrained me
they harboured
brittle talks
It is within our own walks
that we are steady

Bear no spate
every tongue too weak
to relate
what we speak
the strength within our backbone
only skill to hone

They drown me
within scores of sheets
My name tag
it repeats
Foe within chest as I gag
spewing remedy

My chest weighs
a hundred kisses
like feather
moss and heather
everything my heart misses
that their henchmen raze

Levelled grounds
witness the lost heights
Dire straits
steer off sounds
Composure of lost powers
plunge from high towers

Open eyes
speak to me of sighs
Love wholesome
within bosom
opening my wings to fly
I seize the night sky

Нас бьют, мы летаем

Darting rays
stray on my figure
steel back stays
keeps my rigor
Icy bone follows my stare
sprinkles snow in air

Tall and stout
I wander about
white hairs play
with the sun
I was once the chosen one
now battered relay

Clouds are lost
in my sullen hope
I will frost
to delay
lessons teaching ways to cope
between night and day

Challenges
tear my thinning hair
Wilting mind
avenges
airborne strikes that rip me bare
blizzard’s shapes to find

Packing bags
other places rise
once in rags
now arise
treasures born from my own kind
other days rewind

There is light
in the raging snow
I must fight
sleet to go
wading in ice to the knee
An endless journey

The ominous ice

The ominous ice

Sulphur glides
under earthen crust
Fire flies
within skies
Erupted volcano rides
blackened soil and dust

Lava flows
onto reddened Earth
Changed the stance,
lost the mirth,
they survey the starlit dance
as the twilight grows

Moon looming
overlooks Big Blue
rockets flung
Mars grooming
Pretext that turned so untrue
Just a trompe l’oeil hung

Time matters
As the clocks unwind
hide of blind
Blood splatters
over eyes that do not see
stark reality

Parched throats cry
symphony of dark
their chests sigh
while they flail
their bodies search the lost spark
one that told a tale

Angels start
the oncoming flight
they play part
through stark plight
Dominion’s auction set price
the ominous ice

Summertime
dawned on me to rest
sizzling heat
earthen wine
a closed circuit to repeat
explosion of chest

I breathed low
laden particles
Like first snow
within lung
bringing cool of icicles
to my frame they’ve clung

The ice froze
the daylight’s dazzle
splinters cried
as they died
ice and light relentless foes
a misty frazzle

Hand absorbs
the sparkling shimmer
Flowing orbs
show so slight
the fluctuating sunlight
its pulses glimmer

As ray sits
I see the shadows
their grey shows
inner light
It reveals a different sight
within opposites

See through me
windows within frame
I foresee
what they show
the tender limbs that they maim
a stark death to flow

To forget
what transpired within
body kept
paper thin
The borders that became blurred
from reasons unheard

Get me maps
of ancient lines drawn
under wraps
over trails
extent of which my mind fails
to see those withdrawn

I will walk
in valleys strewn red
where roses
their blood shed
in dilemma this poses
for the biased talk

I tower
vengeful and irate
through power
over fields
Passion in my body yields
old codes to translate

There is fire
diluting in veins
it brings stains
into heart
burnt cinders that charred higher
vessels it could smart

Hark listen
music to enthrall
Naked call
of the wild
it takes me to inner child
her fingers glisten

Silver falls
from her leaking hands
Leaves rustle
as she calls
she beckons to foreign lands
to stretching castle

Blinded sight
gathers memories
She points straight
heart at ease
I weather the wilting wait
She crouches in me

Putting on
another layer
I pull tight
shuttered sight
I am the dragon slayer
though we breathe as one

The veils smart
Flames I can't forego
It is me
I am he
The killer of it’s ego
Ruler of its heart

Fireflies light
lulling you to stay
in the night
took away
my breath that seeped over sand
creeping into hand

Flowing through
a composite make
Feel the ache
pulsing through
you are only one who knew
the growing heartbreak

Twenty times
sounding church bell chimes
you give love
from above
wounded soldiers giving forth
seasons’ deadly crimes

Surrender
the fighters are fierce
dark glimmer
of their oath
hundred of them my chest pierce
deathly reminder

I count twice
the riddled heirlooms
They are mine
dark outshine
bringers of light to the wombs
We shift humans thrice

Lightning hurled
onto my ceilings
it unfurled
body curled
I expand into the light
spun power and might

Rumbling on
the thunder follows
jaws of sound
dreary hound
it speaks of deadly gallows
where dark shadow flows

Venom hides
deep within my blood
Red to flood
their insides
corpses strewn where my frame rides
my will in the flood

A cross hides
under mighty waves
Yesterday’s
helpless slaves
they chatter as the hand lays
their bodies in skies

I raise them
above eventides
their insides
bleak anthem
their guts raised a message fall
inside the ocean

The salts waste
my willful hunger
The mind raised
breath to taste
millions of silver-white drops
tomorrow’s red crops

A flashback
your image hurtles
Screeching stops
blood curdles
the memory of you calms
like olden-time psalms

You and I
a sacred union
The shared thoughts
they vibrate
hastened more to love than hate
they create new world

We hold hands

in memoriam

A time spent

within heart

An era that love demands

never to depart



The ship sails

its masts setting course

Teetering

heart on brim

I hold onto direction

that my compass fails



The wind blows

on our memories

I skim slow

unleashed flow

I search for the trace of love

gifted from above



Fluttering

my eyes miss deltas

that describe

what it was

a pillar of salt forming

where trust lacked resolve



Tomorrow

knocks hard at my door

Like a show

of puppets

it pulses and carries strings

faint rememberings



Forgotten

the days are silent

Trails we made

lost their shade

The sea washed over our names

for nights to repent
