requiem for the dead generation (Other) by Prince of Void
Empty closets, bare rooms, Lonely corridors in the desolate buildings Deserted streets thorough wild flowers and weeds Faceless kids are performing that even the dead can dance in the bomb sites Nuclear Explosion decorated this ceremony of death And mushroom clouds lighted up in the sullen sky Already dead on the crown of the lost The requiem was composed by inaudible yells The yells of the dead generation, left out in hell Shadows of past leant against blank walls Nobody can see behind walls Suicidal sound echoes hauntingly over the ghost town And Dying sun dropped in the bleak vision of this regime Dead fetuses of dead generation are watching at the world the world Abandoned them inside the funereal wasteland

Poems are made by us
One of us shall see
What we paint
Upon the blank page
That depicts what shall be unseen
In the heart of meanings
When the heart is pathless
When no poem shall go uncommented
Where poems and oceans cross each other
In the horizon of poets' dreams

A strangely familiar feeling about the now-ended cold war with Russia. Or is it over?

Look at my recent poem in your name.

Here is a empty grave that I want to lie in
The void where I want to fill by my own body
Oh pains how can you leave me now?
Remember all words I wrote about you
I need you …
How could you ignore me?
When I need you
Don’t leave me now
Don’t run away
You are the Life
That’s running away from me
Look how I’m dying
And getting numb
And how I can explain such death
How can it treat me in that way?
Don’t leave me now
Know how I need you
It’s too late for me
I’m dead by now

ohhhhhhhhhhh Dovina

I don't know if "you" means me or your pain; it's a bit ambiguous. And a lot of folks would say both meanings are the same. Anyway, I, too, have already lived and died, and might as well lie down in that open grave. It's an optimistic position where nothing matters very much and all pleasures are possible. Tomorrow, I'll begin that cross-country bicycle trip I've been harping about. Like a homeless person sitting on the street with goals in her eyes, but no plans.
