    I Don’t Like Writing

    I don’t like writing
    Nevertheless, it is an unavoidable activity for me, such as breathing
    As long as silence talks to me, many impressions crowd into my mind
    Often I stay idle, wondering about random ideas
    But I am not able to rationalise all that is inscrutable
    It is as time shows me life in pictures
    Like a collection of many old miniature paintings
    Some of them are blurred
    And others are very unambiguous
    All those words of mine give only sporadic impressions about myself
    All those poems of mine are only fragments of me
    My poetry is accessible for everyone to read
    My poetry is not trapped in a book
    My poetry is absolutely a wild living thing that breaths
    Hence, I chose the freedom to express myself straightforwardly.

  • My Words

    My Words

    My Words

    There are not enough words in the dictionary
    To describe all my emotions and mindsets
    Most of the time, silence is the way I express myself
    And I stay idle like a dead leaf floating on the smooth watery surface of a lake
    Memories, good and bad ones, drag me into a timeless place, which is all mine
    And where I can stay until my consciousness brings me back to reality
    I will always question myself over and over
    Wondering if it is worth sharing my feelings
    And pondering whether unknown strangers will understand my thoughts
    Sometimes I am afraid of revealing too much about myself
    Nevertheless, my words are the only things that remain of me.
