Perfection

Out of imperfection

the old skeptic

Shall I advocate for you before God,

common creative mind?!

Necessarily we write down,

For the comfort, not to succumb.

For hours before the end,

soften by the wine

French wine, Pinot Noir-Maison Blanche,

danced the last tango

you

Does it mean anything to

The battle of frightened thoughts,

Breaking into pieces

In the east of history!

You had something to learn,

Today your look is blunt, empty!

The insect will survive

Wriggling by the widow!

You seem crestfallen.

Loneliness will preserve you

With the one you are.

The picture will outlast you.

Visual trauma.

The far east

Light and shadows

Birds in the flock

The ships and the sailing

Inevitable and foreseen…

The magic of traveling

To the inner harmony!

The girl's neck

Beauty from the darkness!!!
