Every Moment with You

Everyone’s born
From darkness - total black
Walking through the tunnels of light
Since a cry in a pair of hands
We end up back in black
With a sleeping face decaying
Friends are few that still remain
Other than the ones in caskets
I’m sitting here blankly
On this hospital bed that sinks
And hon, I’m watching liquids fall
Into your bones through your skins
And you weakly hold my hand
Telling me I’ve got you enough
And let you laugh
Till away you’ll pass
Any music in you touches my heart
Any gift from you brims my soul
Any confession of you makes me crying
Every moment with you
Every moment with you
If life’s a journey
On a train that goes somewhere
I scan through window panes on my shoulder
Where changing sceneries blur
When there’s no rail ahead
Has the train a terminal?
And on the quay the bells will toll
“It’s the place one must get off”
Doctor alluded
Showing me a calendar
So while confided are your mistakes
They stop mattering more
When a song is gonna end
So is sweetest music you lived
It pains to sit
Or defend
Or accept it
Any music in you touches my heart
Any gift from you brims my soul
Any confession of you makes me crying
Every moment with you
Every moment with you -
Flipped through
Till there ain't pages to turn
With heaven beams I pray
You be reborn
God bless us
To be travellers in our own vessels
To love and be loved
To live and be survived
If you are the truth
To remember
I won’t forget -
Any music in you touches my heart
Any gift from you brims my soul
Any confession of you makes me crying
Every moment with you
Every moment with you

Ukrainian Flowers

He was born on this independent land
That wasn’t much older than him
There were lives to hatch
And flowers to bloom
But in the east the neighbour was daring to flare
Their troops and violent wills
After years of scare
They stepped the sill
At that dawn
Missiles on the skyline
Declared wartime over his hometown
This young man
Picking up a rifle and camouflage
Got to fight
Where an expected mother
Stayed in their kitchen to make bread for squads
She wanted
A future unscathed where kids could bud
And grow in fearless
The bullets flied
They had no eyes
Ricocheting was death in wind
The heaviest thuds
Gushing out the blood
One more collapsed onto the ground
Where soldiers are tools
Serving whoever rule
Kneeing behind their beasts to laud
They boast to kill
Innocents on sill
Despite God’s eyes on the mud
Ukrainian flowers
Sprang out of corpses and charred debris and ash
Narrates the mother
The past of war to her cradled newborn homelander
And the boy has grown up, learned to spell
And learned the glories as well
The heroes like his dad
Fought back their foe
Woh
“Only if he lived”
The boy never stopped dreaming at night
A man that
Had given him life
Has given in his own
On the field
Whispers and wind
Travel down the granite headstones
He visits
Sweeping off the snow or dust from the one
He lays a sunflower
The bullets flied
They had no eyes
Ricocheting was death in wind
The heaviest thuds
Gushing out the blood
One more collapsed onto the ground
Where soldiers are tools
Serving whoever rule
Kneeing behind their beasts to laud
They boast to kill
Innocents on sill
Despite God’s eyes on the mud
Ukrainian flowers
Sprang out of corpses and charred debris and ash
Narrates the mother
The past of war to her cradled newborn homelander

Here, Today

Breezes pause
Wanderers cease ‘round this tent
White chairs are arranged in lines
Seating our families and friends
Trees stand taller
Attesting love ‘round this altar
Where you stand feet away from me
Like a dream
Staring into your eyes that beam
For the rest of life
There is no more need to ask who and why
Gently clicked are your lips
With three words and I am struck
By the bliss
On your blush
My dear
Part of me
In perfect ring with part of you
Here, today, I
Am bathed in the ecstasy undenied
Solemn words in left ear
I won’t never ever leave you away
Taking place
Many years
Of our own
Yes, I do
Here, today
Where the doves and tie are sacred
An imprint of life
Is taken with the truest blessing when guests rise up
When I’m holding you in my arms
All the chairs spill the hymn
Still we are
Let us kiss
My dear
Part of me
In perfect ring with part of you
Here, today, I
Am bathed in the ecstasy undenied
Solemn words in left ear
I won’t never ever leave you away
Taking place
Many years
Of our own
Here, today
Many eyes
Testify

Look up
Seeing through the starry doves
Fleeting are travellers
‘Round this revolving Earth
The black
Devours an existence
That’s worth a celebration
But disappears in vain
I saw you on the brink of the rooftop
I never would know you and your cracks
I saw you on the fringes of backdrop
If I could have stitched your breaking wounds -
When you freely fell like an astroid
The world was watching
A birdie destroy
Your crackling flames shone once in a life
In another hatch
You’ll really fly
Heavy
Is pull of the gravity
For trying to flee the Earth
As well as our absurds
To shine
As an imagined starlight
You’ve only closed your eyes
And fallen from blurry high
I saw you on the brink of the rooftop
I never would know you and your cracks
I saw you on the fringes of backdrop
If I could have stitched your breaking wounds -
When you freely fell like an astroid
The world was watching
A birdie destroy
Your crackling flames shone once in a life
In another hatch
You’ll really fly
Abandoned little star shines from afar
Abandoned little star shines from afar
