YOU ARE GONE…

Love — the illusion of wings...

Sydney Smith

You are gone from my thoughts

like an angel

Quietly and noiselessly

Indifference

took me by the hand

Pulled out like a tooth

Longing

Quickly and painlessly

AS IF IT’S COOLER

As if it's cooler

between ourselves

This autumn

the fire in the fireplace

went out long ago

Mr. November

into a grey mouse

has turned

The warmth of your hand

he hid in the dream

IN THE WINTER

In the winter snuggling up to the fire

I will blow out the snowflakes

With the dreams I will trot with a sledge

I will touch the edge of luck

And I will see in all its glory

a falling star

Maybe it will resurrect the old love

now dying

SO MUCH LOVE IN YOU

To Grażyna Skowron-Matkowska

In you there is so, so much love

not a sea, but an ocean of loving

In you there is so, so much tenderness

how so the bitterness of sweet waiting?

You still love the one you do not need

the volcano of feelings erupts at the wrong time

The lava must bury the naivety

you no longer will raise the flame that went out

This waiting for fate as in a fairy tale

maybe longer than life

All the nights will find their way through the fingers

Your days are in the summer bloom

Do not run away from yourself, from people

what has to be, will be

When the mind is asleep, the heart awakens

The temptations will not leave you

Again, you stand on the platform of life

here is the cash, here a ticket to paradise

In the mirror, your reflection in the veil

white winter will greet you in May

In you there is so, so much love

not a sea, but an ocean of loving

In you there is so, so much tenderness

how so the chill of hot waiting?
