To Lena R. 'LEAF' with my love and admiration

Another day is fading out
Leaving this place to the reign of the night
Which is to calm away all sounds,
To cover with gloom every eye.

But still there are some silent questions,
Some thoughts and dreams those fly away
Leaving only the bright sensations
With the first lights of a new day...


Odyssey

I’m coming out from the deep
Where all what’s Truth and Lie to keep
Are doomed the spirits of nowhere
Those are unable even to dare
Just to reply to any why
Though this world’s filled from hell to skies
With questions – why it all exists,
And why mankind ignorance mist
Is covering their minds with grey,
Why for millennia it stays
Without any change yet now!
And why I was created proud,
Why Thine Will threw me on the way
That leads beyond both nights and days
And where is the end of this? – I don’t know...
But nothing’s ever going to show
The way back home to once left Eden...
One moment there a chance’d been given
To dash across Eternity!
Some brothers those had followed me,
Lost their light and wings as well,
And in the darkness since they dwell...
I watched the first dawns of the worlds,
Those were created by my Lord.
I saw first steps of new-born men,
Their spirits bearing light...
But then, I had been given with my goal
To fill with darkness their souls
For whole the universe, I see it,
Exists by balance between evil
And good! that is Lord’s providence
And no one doubts in its sense

Except those mortals whom I tempted,
So on the darkest way they stand,
Walk towards my long hatred home
Where every one will be alone,
Although there’re millions of them
They roam not to find in the end
At least each other, not the light.
For all they’re held there very tight...
Now, I can say, my goal’s achieved
And even more, for I can see
Those cold seeds just within themselves.
No need to interfere for hell
To tempt some innocent... They’ll do
It gladly to amuse, and doom
Their neighbour to eternal fear.
The End of this Time's coming near!
But I believe that one day Lord
Will touch the strings of souls... The world
Will resurrect as His Son did,
And that one day (and soon) I’ll see
Eternal Light of Eden’s dawn...
That I’ll be back for just to roam Across the Rivers of Beliefs!
And lightly, smoothly touching breeze
Will bring all those Damned Ones to Heaven
For God will take them all forgiven!.. And me.
For I’m exhausted hard
With evil I create in dark.
Sometimes I see that I am there
Without pride, in light forever –
Another Angel leaves it all,
Another Satan starts his role.


To be back

You have said,
That I compare that alien land
To something like Lost Paradise...
You could not know,
That one day you would feel the same
And now you just cannot say
These words with lightly mocking look...
You also have
Some place where you seem to belong
You whole wait for that blessed hour
To be back...
To be back...

Sometimes, when grief steps back,
I can see I am not alone
For those ones who seem to belong
Other places, Other shores, Other worlds,
They’re around beneath the same moon
And each one has something within
Like the star, that crashed into the Earth...
Each one has his own Eden lost!


Tower

In the stormy sea of gloom
Where every soul finds its own doom,
There’s an impregnable high cliff,
Where stands a tower not to leave.
There are the greatest halls,
Where you can see your home world
With all you hate and love within
With every place you’re long to be in
But have you ever thought before,
About things out all these walls,
That sea of gloom which is all around,
About the light of its grey sun?..

When you’re trying to break out
From your life,
Do you ever think about
Those ones
Who had found the way out,
Out from here,
Where are they roaming,
Where do they disappear?
Closer to the grey sun,
Listen to the prayer sounds,
Prayers are flying high aside
Into the Darkness 'neath the Light.

Closer to the grey sun,
Traces, shadows are behind
They can’t show the way to roam
Never clear whereto and where from.
Cold as the grey sun,
Quiet as the roaring sounds
Are the dragon’s eyes
Those reflect whole mankind...

Legend

That awesome year was signed
With a comet revelation.
For long the pale eye
Watched every dusk and dawn.
Several mighty kings,
With not a shred of mercy
For their unhappy folks
Raised their men to war,
For each one had a dream
‘Bout the Universal Power,
How someone pale-eyed
Presented it to them.

Meanwhile from the north
Plague appeared crawling,
And Death with its own scythe
Crushed, tore, cut the life.
But even dying men
With their arms ‘coming weaker
Were trying to destroy
The things called for them ‘foes’...
And then colossal rains
During over forty days
Washed it all away,
For new life comes again.

That murky year was signed
With a comet revelation,
But if it caused that evil
Nobody ever knows...

...And when you’re opening your wet eyes
From those cold procellous dreams
Dissolving in the air and grey light,
And flying high there with the wind,
Awakening is like resurrection
From death which crawled from deep within:
‘Good bye. There’ll be another action,
When the night will touch your skin! ’

Earthling Gods
They’re always amongst us
Expecting to be idolized,
And to acquire Glore and Force,
Dub men their children and to curse,
And crush whatever human beings
Created during thousands years,
And to construct of bones and blood
The Newest Order born in minds
Of mad precursers who had died
With words of hailing shrilly cried...
Then hither all they come
To lose men all their utmost calm
And mighty armies must be raised
Of young men who have lost their Faith,
Great Earthling Gods give now them wrath
And Fair Duty made of earth,
The oath of loyalty is cried.
Go now, go to collide,
And crush the foes whoever they are,
Drink now their red blood, yeah-ha!
Cheer Glore to Earthling Gods!!!
Cheer Glore to their Power!!!
Demented, open now your eyes
And face the coming hour...

Have you been


Have you been to the spaces
Those lie far away
From the Universe’s edge?
Have you seen all those places
Of an ideal silence
That will never be changed?
I used to be there when
I’d been falling asleep
On the dawn of the night
There’s absolute nothing,
even no fear of Death,
Neither darkness nor light.
In the New Year Eve smoke
Little sorrow is gone
But the bigger remains.
It’s so now and forever for all time
And what else can I say?
1995 made me whole upside-down – both, my heart
And my mind
Now I’m a man of despair
with the stonely cold soul
Just a fool on your sight.
I’ll go back to the spaces
that lie far away From the Universe’s edge,
And I’ll see again places of an ideal silence
That will never be changed...

The voice of autumn woods

Watch another day
With its mercury dawn,
Pale moonlight has turned to mists...
Burning autumn leaves
Like The Fairies dance
As I’m walking my path away...
I’m going away from home
Haunted by the ghosts of love
Where every shadow under spider’s web
Has its own song.
My eyes still watch the light,
Winds graze bright leaves by my side,
And Morning Glory, Voice of autumn woods
Will be my guides... There’s nobody by
No one’s shaken by fear
Heavens are so high and clear and bright.
People I left behind Build new hell for themselves
And nobody can tell me why...
I’m going away from home
Haunted by the ghosts of love
Where every shadow under spider’s web
Has its own song.
My eyes still watch the light,
Winds graze bright leaves by my side,
And Morning Glore, the voice of autumn woods
Will be my guides...


A Visionaire’s Creation

When the sunset’s rests
Pass by the part of skies
Forbidden for the sun,
And when the eagle-owl
Rings over blue swamp fog,
And hears its crying’s sounds
An Odd One then arises
Observing ‘round...
See it.
