NATALIE BISSO

 

Turning Poetry Into Prayer

 

Tell me the righteous way

And save from lies and revenge,

Let there be no place for flattery in us,

And there will be no resentment in us.

 

Whatever anger we have,

And we did not know the despondency,

So that we do not become nerds,

To do us good deeds.

 

So that the pride does not get sick,

So that envy does not eat us,

So that the soul does not suffer from everything,

Give us the strength to defeat her.

 

And from greed, clean up,

And from the fornication of sinful too,

If we judge ourselves more strictly -

Steps will become easy for life.

 

Continuing brand path,

I'll only think of the eternal.

I don't want to be careless.

Isn't life the point?

 

Help to silence sins!

Save and save us, God!

Because we can be better,

Turning poetry into prayer.

 

 

Write While You're Breathing

 

Write while you're breathing! Hurricane

Turn in your direction, it's your turn,

And the thought is your guest, sometimes unexpected,

Stop at your gate.

 

Past hopes and excuses

You will not find it in a piece of paradise,

And your unjustified wanderings

Like a forest, he will appear before God.

 

And at this moment, simple and strange,

You, so driven by a sense of revenge,

left your dear father's house

without healing your wounds.

 

You are taking revenge on yourself for the stinginess of words,

For not sleeping at night,

For the fact that the poems are ready again,

Which is probably a penny price.

 

A vendetta that burns in the mind,

Perhaps your best strategist,

Write as if you are in exile,

Prepare tactics, escape.

 

Write while you're breathing! In a foggy moment

Do you follow the rhythm of the lines,

You will find the desired flower of love,

And exhale the desired syllable.

 

Vendetta* - revenge
