my vision-in-verse universe

Don't question me!
Don't you dare,
Tell me 
What I can
and I cannot!
Don't doubt me
for a moment!
I will become a beast,
a dragon,
fire-breathing 
terrifying one,
And somebody will regret,
having me 
awaken,
with that strength
and that new meaning!
If dare you will,
don't you dare.
Of me,
For both,
I care!

I'm looking for that
Community of joyful spirits
Where you Drink joy
Share joy, Bake joy
Shake joy, Flip joy
And Dance joy
And glasses full 
You empty joy
In souls of emptiness
Finally full
Till a joyful sleep...

The rain is gone
No flow of water
By the road side
But the sparkling
Goblets and droplets 
Still there
Hanging on
To the branches
The brown thin branches
Under the cold
Rays of sunshine
Half in shadow
With one bright side
Still there
Crystal clear rain droplets
Full of bright
And there...

Crystal adorned branches
Dripping thin branches
Brown chocolates branches
In small goblets
Droplets of water
Sky tears
Or simply relief sprinkles...
From a heavy day...

Bubbling streets
Gray reddish pavements
In flowing waters
And under shocking 
Brief car tire interruptions.
Floating bubbles
Popping bubbles
Breathing streams
Boiling feelings
In a shower
With endless circles
Moving on the surface
Of reflective liquid
And fluid souls
Of a gray day.

Ode to A Bath

12/9/2020

1 Comment

 
From a mother 
To you
Lifesaver
Soother
Smoother
For the Skin
The Body
The Soul
The Mind

To you 
my Dear
So thankful
I am

A mother 
A lover
A dreamer
So heavy 
And impossible
My Being
Without you
My bath

The water
Running
Down
In showers
In Streams
In Waves
In Soap
In Fluff
In Bubbles
In Scents
On Me
In and Out
Of this world

To you
My dear Bath
Cheers 
Blessings
To you

Lemons
They tell you to squeeze them
And Make a Lemonade
But Nobody asks Who is Going to Drink That
And Miss the Point 
That Lemonade Makers
Are not necessarily Lemonade Drinkers...

Curiosity

Curiosity
Observes
with Sparkling Eyes

It has Impatience
and Patience

It waits
It smiles

It has an Open Mouth
of Awe
of Excitement

It jumps
It hugs
It embraces

Curiosity 
Makes the Cat

Dje kuptova
Te jetosh
Jo nuk duhet te kerkosh
Thjesht te dish te qendrosh
Ne qetesi
Ne shtepi
Nen qiellin 
Me erresire
E yje te shndritshme
Ne blune e paster
Prekur me re te bardha
E driten e henes
Nje dite dimri

It's ThAT O'Clock

It's eight o'clock
Birds at work
On the covered ground
Through the fallen leaves
Beaks take peeks
Robin beaks
Bluejay fluff
Squirrel tails up high
Red woodpecker heads
To naked tree bodies fly
Birds at work 
It's food o'clock
Breakfast time
