Rock Drawings

 

“Poetry is eternal graffiti written in the heart of everyone.”

- Lawerance Ferlinghetti.

 

I have a lunar name,

it stardust alludes

and whimsical flowers.

 

Astrologically I follow

the lunar north node

with the flow of Aquarius.

 

I rediscover the sign of Mars

and ancestral desires

I embody in poetry.

 

The Ancient March from the East

is shining above rock sanctuaries

in a pulse of celestial graffiti.

Sceptre And Crown

 

The mistress of hearts passes by

underage nobles accompany her –

the shop windows look at her with envy

and their footstool is blooming.

 

Waves of mirages hit the glass

in the radiant arrhythmias of the risk

and glances - lightning-fast and meek,

are crowning her without her even wants.

 

With a sprained neck the most worthy falls,

in plebeian sweat drowns the most called -

the blood is squeezing still from the breakthroughs,

an incurable wound will torture at them.

 

On the path of beauty it will hurt,

oh wonder of nature. Horizon over the abyss.

In the hearts of men, the love scepter

recreates her image gratuitously.
