Encounter

I found an old collection, her page on Flickr

Full of mind-blowing magical pictures she took

Of girls and boys and fields, windows with wilted flowers and railways

I went through all the pictures, like in some hide and seek

Thinking “please g-d let me be, let me be here too”

And yes, I saw myself -exactly as she saw me those days



And so my wish came true, I was found but then got lost

Like all the jewels of cherry color I tried to catch gather grab in vain.	

She loved me shortly she must’ve if I’m on that page, stuck in between

But why I want so to be anyone, anything there but my own ghost,

Why do I look at them all in awe but myself, again and again

Why do I want her to give me another chance, see me as they were seen?


They all have beauty audacity innocence, insert your own

She must have loved them all, and the luckiest stayed, and are still around

Why did our roads part, as we both grew up or was it only her that did, my love my love, 

Leaving me all alone in the land where no one is ever grown

Land of wherever you go you try to fly but then fall on the dusty ground,

Never catching the jewels of cherry color, only seeing them far away in the sky above.
