If I were
If I were cat, I’d be afraid of people. They’re so huge, so noisy and so aggressive. They touch you all the time And never let you sleep. If I were cat, I’d wear a strange name. Sounds like Caesar or Hercules, I don’t know exactly. If I were cat, My owner would offend me And throw something heavy, When I sit on his balcony. If I were cat, Every day I’d eat the same. I hate this canned food But my owner thinks I do love it. Asshole, I don’t. If I were cat, My owner would feel jealous, Cause this beautiful girl Won’t pay to him any attention. Why does she speak like a small child? He would blame me, That he can’t get her into his bed. If I were cat, I would stare at dogs, Walking in the park, Smelling each other, and think. Would you rather be a dog? If I were dog, I’d be alone And never find a friend, Cause affection hurts. If I were dog, I won’t get over it. I don’t wanna see tears In rearview mirror, When my friend drives me to vet. If I were dog, I don’t wanna die Under his glance And I don’t wanna him hesitate, If to find a new friend. If I were dog, I’ll fear that I cannot defend Our home from invaders, Cause I’m not enough strong And not enough brave. If I were dog, I’d hate Hatiko movie, Respect Monmorancy And afraid of the Baskerville. If I were dog, I would listen to millions of stories From homeless under the bridge, Wake up to the birds song and bark. Would you rather be a bird? If I were bird, I’d believe in Phoenix But fear to be burnt, Sitting on electricity. If I were bird, I’d be famous Of playing in Hitchcock’s film. You saw me, one of the millions. If I were bird, I would build the weak nests And unsuccessfully try to find Birdhouses on trees. If I were bird, I won’t fly a lot Because of the laziness, Respect pigeons and laugh on carrots. If I were bird, I’d like to know, how it’s to swim. I would jump into the water and ask, Would you rather be a fish? No, that’s why I’m just a man. No matter, who I’m My thoughts and fears are with me. Cat or dog, Bird or fish. They’d be the same, Forever.

Моє диво
А на дворі лив дощ мов із відра, Гуляючи по вулиці рідненькій. Побачила в болоті кошеня, На мене так дивилося сумненько. Чомусь у серці так затріпотіло, Подумала забрати в дім собі, Дістала з бруду, воно муркотіло, Співаючи дорогою пісні. Ось так у мене і з'явилось диво, Мій друг пухнастий, любе кошеня. Історія насправді ця правдива, А на дворі лив дощ, мов із відра... *** У співавторстві з прекрасною Вікторією Тодавчич https://www.surgebook.com/_victoria_todavchich_ За допомогою проекту https://www.surgebook.com/weird_owl/book/proekt-pishem-sovmestno

Тени собственного сердца ...
Глубокой ночью в тишине , Как млечные пути горели свечи Их огонек горел во тьме Скрывая тайны сердца человечьи Тенями прошлого унося яркий свет, На языке горело пламя вспоминания Из памяти оствавив только след Потухших пепла чувств одного созерцания .. И лишь полны отчаяния глаза Остались морем слёзного раскаяния .. Об том ,что не забудешь некогда Ошибки сделанных ,когда то лишь случайностью ... Прекрасных звёзд на небе уголков, Когда хотелось быть ранимым Сломать себя от бури горечи долгов, Которых прятал от своих любимых И каждый вздох ,что вдруг не смог, Раскрыть все страхи угнетения В тени ночей под всхлип с дождём Укрыв опять себя жалким замком мгновения. 🎶🎧🎶 💫Demons ~Alec Benjamin 🖤
