1. Poem 1 Three coffees and a private conversation…
Three coffees and a private conversation
with the dancing waters
My dream says: “I wish you were here“
We would get the first boat
that challenges the ocean
and if we drοwn
We would become a single mute fish
That swims into a world of nothink
and performs a mutant jazz ballet
2. Poem 2 Crying with anger for thee self…
Crying with anger for thee self
And one helpless lie is unfolding
For no reality exists
worth your exploitation
You think!
And then absorbing pain in your inner emptiness
Survive thee in unclean water
Be a king of all you
3. Poem 3 Reveal that strong like a stone heart…
Reveal that strong – like a stone – heart
that exists inside of you
And when you achieve that
approach all the other stones
in the one and only way
That makes stones sing
and dance and laugh
4. Poem 4 See the last replicas on earth…
See the last replicas on earth
mirrored on a regressive community
one by one
they land on the one tree planet
this rare species has no expectations
cause it found eternal peace of mind
I can see the perfectness
of a lonely world abandoned by time
5. Poem 5 Travel with their inspiring voices…
Travel with their inspiring voices
and still the fire burning
I nearly burnt my finger
A scene of the past lives
All the unknown people
who sometimes smile
and usually weep
Gather together
for a ship memory photo
I paint a smile on my finger
It points to happiness
6. Poem 6 No rhythm or steps, only passion…
No rhythm or steps, only passion
A passion to live and die
all of the time
Mr. Dreamless Sleep
who walks in vain
Though is everywhere
In subway dances he melts
Like water his life falls into the ocean
And the ocean becomes an iceberg
Condemned to a life without change
7. Poem 7 The sheriff of rocky islands…
The sheriff of rocky islands
Inhales the forbidden image
of gods and kings
Beautiful it seems
and I was tempted
The moon entirely relaxed
behind the harbour
8. Poem 8 Use of hands…
Use of hands
Mind and soul in harmony
First the hands
those make ceremonial acts
Playing with air light and materials
Then the mind analysing and composing
vivid sequences of living
And finally the soul
the rhythm machine
detached from logic
Creates dance sessions
for emotions
9. Poem 9 Space intro…
Space intro
Look right
Left silver
Left with more yellowish gold
Blatting naked bodies
off hours
Greys kissed by the sea
Waves taming the rocks
10. Poem 10 Keep rolling…
Keep rolling
Now you caught the edge
Of the rope
Keep scrolling
Your footsteps are stronger
Now
Keep praying
11. Poem 11 Abolish fear establish trust…
Abolish fear, establish trust
Give!
And take baby kisses in return
Appreciate a baby’s kiss
Do not question
Suffocate and die of love
