Encrypted poem

Frontier borders

Words unspoken

Unknown languages,

Borderlines which threaten

The governing rules,

And hide in a circle

What comes into square.

Down in the village

Foreigners are guests

And peasants

Become passengers

For adventures to live.

Spices and pleasures

Flowers and illusions

Magicians and hopes,

In the market of life

No coin is needed

Just a little piece

Of naked heart

Showing the paths

Yet to walk.

Up in the castles

Fear makes the deals

And then go the battles

Which destroy simple moments,

Victories which vanish

The shoop shoop sound

Of the exhaling spirit.
