come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
the ice floated across the river;
for a while it lingered
momentarily as if it was dreaming
in the middle of the desert swimming
through thousands and millions of grains
of white snow flakes waiting to melt in rain;
but, for now, it’s calmly glaring into the sky
counting its blessings, staring into the eye
of the sunset,
the inevitable end.

that hint of grinning
that I catch a glimpse
across the miles of smooth surface
like vast waves a washed under sun’s grace
I wonder how I shall pray tonight
grateful for moment of warmth that delights

liquid nitrogen can burn
nitrogen glycerine can burst
we could’ve been breathable air
but no, our dreams must be shared
as we drink our bitter sour black liquid
thrusting ourselves against the limit

digging the tunnel in the cave
light shines in and shapes it gave
made me wonder possibilities
that could happen as reality
yet I wonder
if I should dig further
to reveal the truth
hidden behind the light’s route

yes, let it snow,
though it may melt
let them sow
what will be met
with ultimate virtue
of serving the multitude

when everyone’s asleep
there are subtle gifts
the clear sky above the head
the peach orange light ahead
as if you are still in a dream
the world reveals gems that beam

if you are in this half-asses
you’d better get packed-up
‘cause I am coming at y’a
with everything I’ve got

spoon, oh legendary spoon,
come to me with inspiration soon
I’ll let you roar with mighty curves
so help me dig this cave to preserve
sparkling ideas into a paper
I’ll let you sing all nighter

sometimes it betrays
your true inner age
sometimes it testifies
your true virtues you exemplify
sometimes it serves as a reminder
sometimes it helps your mind wander
a photograph is worth more than a book
a photograph is valued by the one who looks

it’s a Cold War in the middle of park
a dog playground filled with dogs’ barks
human owners awkwardly standing around
neither acknowledging nor neglecting; just frown
upon their iPhones and their dog leash
not to lose them nor to hurt them at least
spending time just like a scarecrow
there, but not there, if you know
what I mean.
