Soul Migration

Soul Migration I believe in the eternal all-knowingness,In civilizations created by aliens,In worlds we perceive as parallel dimensions,And the growing clarity of reincarnation.I believe in everything that is actually good,Even what cannot be tainted or misunderstood.I believe that for my soul, all will be worth itAnd that after I die, a new life will surface. When my soul returns for […]

The Old Actor

The Old Actor The show is now over,The curtain has fallen.Nobody is clapping,The air is still, sullen.The lights have gone out,Darkness swallows the stage,The floorboards creak,Set pieces all packed away. No trace of words,The crowd silent in their seats.Tense and in suspense,Unsure of what still succeeds.The spotlight illuminates,Casting a circle so bright.Revealing the outline,Of a figure hunched in light. He […]

The Ballad of Mrs. Terri

The Ballad of Mrs. Terri Mrs. Terri, in sadness, bowed down her head,Her small steps followed her husband ahead.In front trotted two black horses by the priest,While behind trailed the casket of the deceased. Oh my poor Joe – the old woman sighed,After twenty-five years, he left me and died!She was never one to complain about him,Even if she did, […]

Forgivennes

you can listen to Krisztián Füredi’s presentation (in Hungarian) Forgiveness Ever since I was born I lived as I could.Shivered in rags, slept in any neighborhood.Walking the streets, I was always hungry,I lied, cheated, and sometimes stole some things.A few times it was coins the blind beggar had gotten,Or the farmers’ honey he had long forgotten.If I got caught, they […]

When?…

When? … When will that particular morning comeThat I realize, I’m not a reason for the rising Sun?I wonder, when will the shadows on the corner of the wallTurn into actual nightmares by nightfall? When will it come, that I can’t see the other sideAnd will there be a hand who helps me cross the street as my guide?I wonder, […]

Cannot see

Cannot see The day has come and thoughts of you come to me,“Don’t worry, it’s okay”… I justCannot see. I write, I read, I speak, like everybody,I am still alive! … I justCannot see. I live in darkness, only awaiting thee,I am patient… I justCannot see. You look at me strange, something has changed.I am still the same… I justCannot […]

The Last Supper

The Last Supper It was on that night that they took to the streets.They seemed to be angry, but they came in peace.They stood in the center of the square in silence.Children of the nation, now standing united. In a house on the square, on the fourth floor,In a civic apartment, with ‘four/fourteen’ on the door,At a set table, the […]

Morning Blues

Morning Blues Non-stop poundingHungover headIn a hotel roomI woke up in bedA woman, a strangerLied to my leftI looked her overBut I had no guessI was in troubleLast night was a messToo many drinks& Too high did I get. The disheveled sheetsI quietly climbed fromWaking the girl upWas too scary an outcomeBefore to the bathroomI went, silent as a nunAgain […]

Madness

Madness I’m sitting at the tablewriting this poemI am not typing quicklyjust as quick as I’m going.I feel a small prickmy brain goes numbdivided consciousnessI cannot recognizewho I have become.An ambulance came for medreadfully yellowto lock me awayfar from what I know. We walk down the hallwaythe neon just shinesI hear them talk about methat to myself and othersmine is […]

Rendezvous

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3DlLbcvLGM Rendezvous Rendezvous in a smoky barHidden in the half-dimmed dark.Secret, shielded, glancing aroundHand in hand, pondering bound.Waiting always, a fleeting hourEyes of light, lips of moonflowersColor of her hair, taste her voice in the air. Softly touching, gently tastingFrom time to time trembling, shaking.Waiting for death longing for peaceThe fleeting moments treasured, sweetRecalling scenes of hands in handBuried together […]
