Jolanta Gradowicz Poems

Let me go away, right now, at the moment.
Don’t wait for a more favorable hour.
I’ll spend a day or two in immense torment,
But we can’t help it; things began to turn sour.
...

I brewed a cup of strong tea,
Using hot, crystal clear water.
I hope I made it very tasty,
And you’ll appreciate its power.
...

At the hour and in the place
I ask myself the way to us.
Our ship has sunk without trace,
The current keeps us separate thus
...

I won’t flow into the deep, troubled water twice.
I won’t do it again, I promise solemnly.
I regained peace of my soul, but at a price.
Everything I need is to keep balance only.
...

I have my eyes riveted to your hand,
To your fingers holding the fountain pen,
You’re very proud of the recognized brand.
You put it away to reach for it again…
...

Don’t love too much, friend, don’t do it.
Sometime I loved too much and now
I have restless nights and I admit
That I can’t grasp what happened and how.
...

Happy New Year, baby!
It’s a good time to say “Goodbye! ”
I am a little sad, maybe,
In spite of the show in the sky.
...

Thus, I begin my life anew -
New hopeful days with new chances,
New challenges and tasks to do.
I revel in this - the freshness…
...

Some day you’ll appear on a white horse.
I’ll see you on a horseback from afar.
You’ll dismount it and I’ll hear your voice,
“Lady, you dazzled me like the brightest star...”
...

My Yesterday was so miserable
With gloomy memories, and places,
Like a sad story with a sad title,
Like a ewer broken into pieces.
...
