I, Baloon



Snow shall fall lit by streetlamps

Painting white our hell-black night

And we shall meet one winter noon

I shall float like a balloon



Naked fragile lonely trees

Embraced by dark, by coldness kissed

But we shall snub it, like in June

We’ll walk – you’ll hold me – I’m a balloon



Your fist around my thin pale thread

Alive is light I long claimed dead

No more I’ll float above alone

No skies I need, you’ll be my home



Snow shall fall – I heard the whisper

Of my empty heart you were squeezing

Suddenly it’s in your hands

And night came swallowing the day



There are things we can’t resist

Freedom is sacrificed for a kiss

And serenity – for tears

Life – for pain, entwined with bliss



A gentle touch love yearns to feel

And never reckless storm-quick deal

Emotions - that's what waiting kills

But never feelings that are real



As shook and bent around the trees

Squeezed by the cruel frozen wind

Stole holy calmness of the moon

A sound of bursting of a balloon
