XXLove letters

 

When everything was on steroids,

 

 

 

My brain is a nest I build for you,

You are worth pounds of top quality coke,

My verses are a perfect excuse,

With a pretense of indifference they are my mischievous gift,

Storming your heart and head,

The former is always ready to break,

It hides behind the silk of your shirt,

The latter is like almost invincible Trojans,

 

Welcome, stranger, to my place,

Windswept moor and no home,

I apologize for my manners,

You look very tired,

How long have you been lost?

In dizziness of wine, among shadows of years,

You remind me of someone I used to love,

Before you found me in the arms of shame, indignity, sorrow,

 

I’ll abduct you from your sanity,

I’ll take you to the alley,

It soaks up wine and bistros,

It’s pretty low even by my low standards,

Here no one fears to bring disturbed dreams and unwanted sickness,

It is forbidden reality,

The road to my serenity is paved with slippery words,

 

Here I’ll share my story with you,

It happened one day later or maybe one day earlier,

I was very far,

I missed chapters and years,

Loud voices brought me back,

Swear on chicken feet,

You won’t be ashamed to tell my story wherever you go,

Every day white gets  dirtier,

 

Eyes shone in the light of darkness,

The skin was smoother than silk,

Inside it smelled heaven and watercolors,

Outside everything rotted and stunk,

We couldn’t see the world behind our walls,

We couldn’t see faces behind millions of masks,

Behind cynicism of time,

Behind stiffness of judgment,

 

Then remorse came,

I was told that you were somewhere near,

I tasted the dew of silence,

I felt the first frost on the lips,

I was born once,

I died two thousand times,

It gets darker and darker every day,

I’m telling the truth, dear,

Like a watch on your wrist.
