HURRY

Reach in me
Cut those threads
That’s holding me down
That makes me don’t care
Makes me hate….
Unfold those webs
Dust those forgotten dreams
Throw some out,
they are of too simple needs…
Freshen up my cells
Mind so the ones not breathing
HURRY
Find the face
Worn Before
knead it out,
mold me one
that can shine inside
Paste a hundred smiles
all over not just somewhere hidden
Burry the moans far out..
and HURRY back
Color me up,
Some romantic shades in pastel
Brush the gray out gently
I m way too young…AND do not forget
Comb my lashes out of guilt…
Let me blink once not seeking help..
Carefully put on eyes that would not cry
and lips that does not bleed a smear or a single lie
review with me looks I’ve worn,
reminiscences somehow so precious,
so forgotton

Dress me in white
Or in colors of the living
Don’t really care what shade
I will start tomorrow missing
HURRY
Take the voices
strolling deep
Line them up a wall
shout, stop them weep
crucify the guilty
pin me the one
to which my heart really belong
recite new notes
or whatever it is
I was once singing…
Rinse these tears
wash them out
for the salt is cracking
Everything about
Find me some innocence
Or some tolerance to perform
Not impressions of this and that
Or fragments that can be stolen
Oh quite, let me think
Melt the sun in my soul
Stir in my ocean,
No sugar in my drink
It was never sweet as my passion
I’ll drink to all and be prepared
Finally I am ready, do you assume?
To pull up the curtains
Be pushed on stage
Thrush to life..
Is it my turn now?

to try for once act the living..
