Let's be younger
Close our eyes and remember ourself
Ten years ago, five years ago

Just to be younger
Does it require a visa?
Do they need to know how much would I earn now?

You are free when you're younger
Don't love anybody — or do you?
Who really cares, you have as much time as you wish

I want to go there with you
Being young alone isn't that fun
Although it's better than not to be young

I'm not old
Not old yet at all
But I can't understand how to end this joke
Never had such a problem when I was — you know

This is the Broken Dreams Corner
Of my notebook

Several routes I'm not going to follow
A little helpful brochure I'll never write

It's good I'm not an artist
Otherwise, I'd lock you up in this corner too

You're a treat, Goldin .

I know precisely the feeling you describe... being a melancholy type.

It's good to see you contributing here


Love,
Lizzie

Lizzie, YOU are a treat, the kindest person I've met!
Thanks for your reply

I don't feel so badly now, knowing that you're not going to Amsterdam... that's only because I can't go, either

I long to taste again the Mythos
Enjoy the morning harbour view
Awaiting for our further meetups
I'm less a Goy and more a Jew

Other People's Pain

When White Russia turns red
a spot spreads on a linen shirt
a bright balloon conquers the sky
the other people's pain comes to you
and stays and writes in milky letters
words that you are yet not able to read

Thank you for sharing Goldin, keep on with the writings pls and the "let's be younger"

Thank you, Anny!

Dear goldin, the essence of your poem - to me - is in these two lines. And a very substantative essence it is.

Can you imagine to reconstruct the rest form there?

A visa (permit for entering or leaving a country) for the realm of poetry doesn't have to be granted.

Just go on...
