Just Be Mine

 

Jealousy in me is the base wall.

With it I am a horseman in a heavy armor in France.

Jealousy in me children's playgrounds.

I, as a jellied, fruit juice boiled with sugar, I feel bored.

In my youth and squeezing space,

I am the professional sworn-dancer.

I'm becoming a lively French dance, I'm dancing.

Music.

The shaving knife is under my throat.

Jealousy, like a fountain from me, popping up high.

I was never born under Jupiter, a happy planet.

My planet is Venus.

To be a clown is my job.

In my life оf toys, I feel pleasure in everything.

I'm going through the time that does not exist

Measuring my purpose of existence with a stake

for point and direction measurement.

I'm late for all the afternoon seats and parties.

I have no aesthetic feeling

for fixed days of receiving on Sundays,

when it was possible to come in without a call.

I get in, they get me out of the whole world.

I fly, I can only fly with my jealousy,

to fly with my stake

and measure my heartbeat

because I love you.

 

Life!

 

Ode of Joy, of life and birth,

Everything in the world

They were already composing many

And only with the heart it can be seen

And feel message of love.

What I feel writing poem,

It is not in silence, only

Where does it start and ends everything

That is the silent one a human being

And it permeates the whole, always

In every breath and a sigh

Creation of the world and universe.

 

She doesn‘t sleep

She is already forever awake

And warns that it is biting,

Like a heart biting...

 

Look at the stars, in the heart

And pick up the stone

And you will see life it is everywhere.

Explainable is inexplicable

And everything is impossible are possible…

Just feel it

And connect with love,

Universal love, what she is

First and foremost

From one God given.

Cosmos,

Without beginning and end,

And it compresses and expands,

Expands and contracts,

All according to God‘s will.

That they created you

And me they live in love.
