i live my life …

i live my life 
in a solitary confinement
i breath stifling air
in a four-walled apartment
i wish i could 
unfurl the walls
and words i write
into a string of letters
meaningful and bottomless
bleeding with love 
for freedom
they’ll serve as
torching light
that would design 
my own path
for better…

break up

i wonder what happens
when you put a full stop
rather than a comma
at the end of a sentence
which has been spanning
for four long years 
unhappy sentence
full of confusion
and misunderstandings
time almost distorted
the endless crevasse 
of broken 
aborted
spitting water of
insults 
words offensive
and hearts…

new world

i want us to build a universe
of little broken particles
of furniture and glass
however polished
that you cant hurt yourself on
chairs and beds and windows 
and shiny plates
all put on display
in the living room
and perfect family of two
not three or four
because thats easy to
disguise
under the masks of…

nsfw

you are hot
like a cup of coffee
you undress me
just by touching my lip
like a brim of a cup
of a double espresso
burning my throat
with your phallic
pretentiousness
with your masculinity
you weigh me down
so i drown
in bed of whiteness
of blankets
of scaring blackness
of nights
and sensuality
like a promiscuous…

inner battle

demons
they live in your mind
loading bumbling uncertainties
in your brain
building complex narratives
at every level of consciousness
they want to breed
multiple tragedies
writing material
the more events the better
sadness perpetuating
the mere essence of existence
and you strike against them
like…

dostoevsky

part one
stefan trofimovich
looking for a goal to live
or rodion raskolnikov
looking for some kind of 
punishment
for his crimes
psychotic almost
indiscernible
thirty-two years of pages
reading someone else’s mind
makes you pretty much
deranged
crazy
and somewhat blind
you want to bury yourself
in pages…

dress

nice little thing 
she wears
something that can easily 
be put on and off
by a bit of a motion
hand or leg
lips or teeth
like a whip of a wand
belonging to a magician
or kapellmeister
in-breathing life
to an orchestra
and multiple
musical instruments
she wears
a perfect dress
for the date

nothing

nothing
a very short 
introduction
minute rectangles
of sunlight
be it a sunrise
or a sunset
a rambling story
of things
that dont really
exist so much
in this world
codified principles
of religions
or code of honor
whats even that?
formless chips of
nothingness
the color of the sky
mirrored
in your perception of…

or be intimate with
but i am blind either

things
which are not even there?
curse.

old books

i love old books
i dont like new books
whatever they are
however they smell
of a fresh print press

like seventy years old 
at least
and have a special shelf
in antique bookshop
then im there
smelling you
looking at you
holding you in my hands
touching your pages
with my…
