Ego

Book Cover & Preview Text
"5 o'clock at a 3 star hotel"
Early morning of an August day,
Rays on the narrow messy bed.
A tired face with wistful eyes
And a different life ahead.
A creaky floor, someone's steps
And coffee fragnance in the air.
Hazy silence where last night
In rainbow colours love did glare.
Now reviving present-like a gift
Keeps no delusions of Before.
In fashion clothes a lordly heart
Walked out through the hotel door.
Its absence left a chilled comfort
And in the quiet room
Remained the soul with wistful eyes
In its simple light costume.

About the Book
A colourful world of poems and photos, embracing life’s waterfalls and tranquil streams. Pieces of emotions and reflections in different shapes are creating a painting of words and images, in which everyone can find his/her inner self – ‘ego’.
‘…Small ripples in the desert -
Like bashful eels,
Under the melting glowing air
Are searching for wintry escape...’
‘…Does more knowledge promise cultivation?
The society enforces glaring goals -
Suspension bridges for the smiling
Daydreamers with more vulnerable souls...’
‘…There is a secret place - a world of ours
Within sharp minutes and easy hours,
When under trembling voice of distant horn
The sunshine paints the perfect morn...’
‘…The oceans in their deepest power
With wavy arms the Earth embrace
And a bunch of skittish daisies
Reflects on someone's fading face…’
About the Author
Poetry is not easy to create. Poetry may not be for everyone. But there is a piece of my heart in each of the poems, reflecting rays of emotions, love for life and love for love, inner sunshine and tempests. And while entering my world you can possibly find a piece of yours or a completely new one.
