Лента хокку черная

невод заброшу
у моря безмолвия
ловлю тишину

в стакане с водой
разыгрался шторм
двенадцать баллов

опять шепчешь спи
а я и так уже сплю
куда уж крепче

в порыве ветра
закружилась в танце
пара снежинок

as cold as it gets
frozen to the core
the time stands still

living on edge
of the Occam razor
reality hurts

going off line
curving somewhere
out of control

unstable reality
like a nuclear bomb
that didn't explode

how can I stay
in this promised land
where I don't belong?

retired from reality
into this imaginary
paradise of yours

in a place called nowhere
time has lost it's way
it's going in circles

three black arrows
out of the deep blue ocean
aiming at distant star

some people don't change
no use trying that
you can only accept them

unity of the three
energy, mind and spirit
make emptiness dance

nothing to prove
in timeless void
with noone around

when reality becomes
a caleidoscope
all pictures blend into one

shadow has mastered hiding
from bright sunlight
so light never can find it

when all hope is lost
take a look at the children
who play with each other

a sleep of a dragon
another knight comes
insomnia

a sad and lonely spirit
unwilling to see
that it's not alone

any star has a name
you want to know it?
you can just ask them

пение эльфов
тихий плеск весел
в шуме ночного леса

riddles of fate
are easily solved
by the moment of time

hellbound heaven
to open the gate
that doesn't exist

I feel deja vu
some part of me knows
what will happen next

countless butterflies
all of them pinned
to a white paper plane

time to sleep
Morpheus offers
a box of pills

eternal sleep
wrong side of the road
in the middle of nowhere

returning sequence
of unchangeable states
nothing ever happens

reasons have changed
everything disappears
after it's been understood

time plays it's part
on this empty stage
that cannot be found

almost finished
all pieces in place
except for the one

hidden in twilight
a crystal orb
shows only mist

all lightnings strike
at the church cross
that rises up high

don't let illusions
steal from you vision
that shows you the truth

still lost in shadows
even after myself
turned into one

being very simple
makes things easy
for the ones who are blind

Light travels fast
But sometimes it's better
To go sideways

it's only ourselves
and we cannot part
believe it or not

we could imagine
and change our life
into anything

all shades of gray
eternal twilight
the darkest embrace

you can see dragons
they travel through time
in eternal slumber

no time to cry
sound of a horn
summons for battle

singing and dancing
women they love it
we men like war

except for the gray
there's a place for one color
the color of blood

No use running away
Anywhere is nowhere
Any place is your mind

All those things in the mind
I guess they don't bite
but why do you keep them?

nowhere to hurry
anything takes time
and we have it all

being a true lie
is said to be better
then a lie false

the memories fade
into black&white
and disappear

at the beginning
it seemed so real
but it was too simple

this life offers pain
to all who can take it
and nothing but pain

no rest for the wicked
their countless sins
can't let go of their soul

from time immemorial
these things cannot change
maybe now is the time?

It's never too late
To fight off all the demons
From the palace of love

Lost in an ocean
Of empty words
With no sign of the wind

If I study myself
I see an emptiness
That doesn't exist

If you say good bye
To the shores you have been to
You'll see them again

Swim in the ocean
Never seeing no land
Just wind and water

spirit rises high
until it disappears
somewhere in space

looking for love
they search everywhere
except for their heart

It's hard to believe
Cause it never rings true
This ocean of lies

On a high mountain
We are still and thinking
Of lands beyond

Another day scratched
Out of this endless calendar
Just like this life

Over and over again
This song is repeating
But it's been better before

Nothing to say
Buried under a mountain of words
That fall from the sky

test of time
by the trials of faith
I wonder if it passes

You can't run from self
Even if you change completely
The mirrors lie

Demons fight demons
I don't care who's winning
They'll perish, I hope

Even the final battle
Has not affected
That chaos of yours

As I observe the mind
How it changes in turn
I don't ever change

Over the rainbow
Flies a lonely cloud
Melting under sun rays

Energy from the void
That is never dependent
On illusions around

You call that Freedom
Being a statue
Holding a flame?

Valiants fall
They never come back
To the beginning

Mirror reflection
Tries to be like me
But I don't even look

Mistress of shadows
Unites all the powers
Of darkness and light

If I try being true
I become impossible
Cause I truly am

One day you'll see
How blind you were
Along the way

Regrets and sorrow
Joy never had a chance
To have a place at this graveyard

A reason to live
A light on the way
That never goes out

Whining in darkness
The labyrinth ends
By a door with no lock

It seems to be true
Sad I know for sure
That it is a lie

Climbing a mountain
Just to have one look
At the world below

It's never too late
To start again
A million miles away

Amidst a stormy ocean
How can a lonely teardrop
Remain itself?

Alice departed
Leaving a smile of a cat
To slowly vanish in mid-air

Something to start with
A first step on the road
That goes a thousand miles

A need to be distant and cold
So far away from the sun
That it seems just one of the stars

All revelations fail
To reveal the truth
That I feel in my heart

Destiny's written
But those who write it are free
To be what they want

Creation routine
To let the creator
Dwell in his dreams

I can hear your thoughts
All green and wonderful
On my background of gray

Step inside
Those demons don't bite
They are imaginary

All knights are in order
At the round table of eight
Only one place remains vacant

taming a dragon
you'll need more than music
and angelic voice

music is out
silence follows
fantasy dancer

relax and listen
Universe is singing
to everyone

the touch of fate
seems a little bit cold
for a human heart

golden mirror
reads upanishads
for the empty room
