Tomorrow

Tomorrow

I'll drive my bike

through the sun's arrow

and through the arms

of the scorching wind,

gasping for air embraces.

And the petals

of still unfading daisies

I'll gather in my palms

and bring to you - alike

my life-feeling verses...

Tomorrow I'll drive my bike,

and I will go on and on and on

and I thank heavens and their dawn.

Towards the sun and all the winds

I spread my heart wings…

Know Thyself …

On all the roads that arose

from my mother’s bosom

and flowed

along the earth’s burden

of various prisms of existence -

wilting and blossoming,

through a bright day

and night, gloomy

as a free human

with the spark of God

in my blood

I walked forward

with an obsession.

And… I didn’t look back

even if I was off the track.

I searched for answers

in signs, visions, perceptions

for unanswered questions.

I have fallen into a furious abyss.

I have risen above the tallest peaks,

burning with the sun reflection

withered with thirst.

I was ascended and

I was cursed…

The skin is torn off...

Flesh hangs from the bones...

A heart is torn out of my chest

and burns with a torch –

I have passed all the roads

assigned to me.

And between time and eternity

on the verge of confession

in repentance

I become the essence

of divine revelation…

Was Written

All of a sudden

the little bell will shudder

at the door…

And you, bereft,

you’ll go

to look for those

who have already left

and never will return…

And you will see:

on earth was written

by dark ink -

Death leaves a heartache

no one can heal;

and in the heavens

it was written -

Love leaves a memory

no one can steal,

but she walked off

with your own skin.

Although,

you go forward

with heartache

and without skin

in an infinite circle,

because the earth is round

and visible horizon

as an inviting sphere.

Keep your chin up,

and most importantly,

keep smiling,

wandering around -

life is so beautiful

and there is so much

to smile about…

NATALIA GOVSHA

NATALIA GOVSHA has been writing poems and prose all of her life and has been drawing for many years. She studies philosophy, alchemy and synthesis of religions. This knowledge is reflected in her poems, stories and pictures. Her first book of poems “Woman’s Diary” was published in 2015. “Woman's Diary”, a collection of poetry, shares a reflection of women who have surrounded her, with their own life and their own love, joy, sorrow, and suffering. From passion to splashes of love, to mistakes, break ups, revival and forgiveness, forgiveness and hope. “Woman's Diary” explores the lives of women and their souls-tender and mysterious. Natalia’s second book of poems "IF YOU LOOK AT THE SKY" was published in 2018. This book about a person who wants to understand a single universal Mind that lives both in human beings and in the universe, initially and unconditionally; and who feels the vibration of true love - as the eternal primordial state of the world. This book is an attempt to turn symbols, allusions, allegories into something alive and sensually perceived, having flesh and blood, filled with personal being. Natalia Govsha lives in Mississauga City, a province of Ontario, Canada, with her family.
