Falling Asleep Poem by Maria Barbara Korynt

Falling Asleep

Rating: 5.0


the evening is lying down on my shoulders
a time of warm breaths is coming
magic of the evening under eyelids

your look is still tangling
I am quietening the body
in order not to scare away
this poorly evident shyness
in the stillness
I feel you like the sculpture

you are casting a shadow over my shoulders
the river for me is humming gently humming
with sweet putting to sleep your names

usypianie (wersja polska)

wieczór się kł adzie na mych ramionach
przychodzi pora ciepł ych oddechów
magia wieczoru pod powiekami

jeszcze się plą cze twoje spojrzenie
wyciszam ciał o ż eby nie spł oszyć
tej nieś miał oś ci sł abo widocznej
ciebie jak rzeź bę w bezruchu czuję

cieniem się kł adziesz na mych ramionach
rzeka mi szumi ł agodnie nucą c
sł odkim uś pieniem twoje imiona

Nice, miraculously, very vividly. It is a pity that not everyone is reading in Polish. It is worthwhile reading - in every tongue.

I enjoyed your writing and the effective use of onomatopoeia in the work bravo

The last line is confusing. It should be explaining instead. I thought the rest of it made a lot of sense. Now, with the ending, I am not so sure. I liked the humming part. A very sensual description. GW62

Something how images of words change with different symbols to define the same words.
