KOZETA ZAVALANI
1.
Fascinating
winter
Winter as there
is a veil
that envelops
everything,
makes suggestive,
appealing, mysterious and profound,
not just the sky
and the flowing waters,
but also the
cold,
from which you
seem to feel away, as the lover of a woman
who has not been
able to conquer him,
although he has
dreamed all his life ...
In the wind of
fear,
which fills the
silence,
we cannot predict
our own destinies;
a timely praise
or greeting
brings however
little pleasure.
We struggle to leave
our mark
in oxygenated
air,
which lies in the
interior of the sky. The sweet taste of life
is left to me
inside an empty box of chocolates,
enjoyed decades
ago.
I hope to
perpetuate my impressions,
from memory
filled to the brim.
Like opaque
membrane
create a
fairytale world
on the Sisyphean
hope ...

Don't be silent!
Freedom and progress were not born of
silence - Hillary Clinton
Why do not you
talk?!
Don't be silent,
man!
On the roads of
the world without any harbors, do not roam!
Do not be silent,
immersed in the abyss of silence,
Without saying a
word!
Don't let the
darkness kill the light!
So I don't even
know,
If you are dead
or alive ?!
In the pond of
the soul, the sky breaks like glass!
Throw away the
heavy cross that holds on your back!
But do not
forsake any hope!
Because even the
twilight of visions
The dream of
sleeping does not wake up!
Get the word out,
scream!
Don't hold it in
chains, handcuffed! ...
The Word keeps
you alive, man!
3.
My land!
Have said that
here
It's sweeter
clay,
That honey…
But have not said
that
Hopes are lost
too
as in the Bermuda
Triangle,
across the
stations,
waiting to convey
the pain,
full of
departures, farewells ...
My land,
where people's
eyesight is broken
and loose it with
hopes,
in a mystery.
Only the idea of
abandonment remains,
because people
cannot survive,
on such small
salaries,
in this deep
crisis.
The seasons go
away repentant!
Maybe they too
are looking for better luck,
a place where
they can find spiritual rest,
a place where
people live to hope!
