Andrus Cassian Poems

Another night
Another fight to survive
As the days go by
Everybody with blonde hair and blue eyes
...

Calling…calling who…
Rose…Rose…Rose…
Does the name belong to her, the one I still finger the touch of her lips upon mine
Does the lonely picture in my pocket portray her, the one I keep resting in my wallet
...

Just sit down, let me talk
On second thought, stand up
This is going to sound much better
if we go outside and talk under the tree
...

Shallow seas swam standing, running through ripples
exploring exponentially an endless trickle
call it normalcy, why can't it be real
Normalcy, isn't irony what's normal is only subjective, an objective
...

Is it that time again
Is it time once again
for me to stand before this jury
and repeat the words I'm sorry
...

Life
I don't know
Life
what do you have in store for me
...

...and it's you I see in my dreams
and it's you haunting me into a silent smile
I could shout and voice my misery, hide behind my vacant madness
but it could never shade the fact: I'm in love with you...
...

Help! Help me!
I've committed a crime so stupid
Why didn't I listen to the signs
They held 'Forbidden' written in blood
...

Again
knocking at my door again
knocking down my door again
impatient and swift
...

What have I gotten myself into
What have I done
Why, and why
out of everyone on the planet
...
