CIRCLE

Symbolism
of a perfect circle
saved for centuries
storm is getting closer
the wind is getting stronger
door almost closed
mirror of perfection
danger is coming
without warning
from all directions
warriors without mercy
in tears
no way out
the red light is almost
covered the whole
centuries
legend still
lives in silence
the mystery of the
invisible
door almost
closed.

BLACK ANCHORS

Legend
about the ship
with slaves from
an unknown place
that took shelter
big storm
symbols mystical
magical powers
the sound of
heavy chain
hitting the ground
causing fear among
the population
unknown force
pulling the chains
bound edges at sea
as ghosts
shadows in the night
to the sea
black statues at sea
unknown symbols
island with black anchors
still standing.

FLIGHT

Traces
wings
held
to the skin
bloody
wounds
earthly
fall.                                                                

In the shade
of lamps
speech                                                
with
silence
in the Night
of Creation.
