FANTASTIC
Fantastic is not a word I any longer use.
It lost its meaning when the fantasy was gone.
Gone and lost, like a mobile phone, like the one that slipped
from the pocket of your coat
and oh, that night, I was so mobile.
White wine kept on pouring
emptying my head from any consciousness
leading to a state of euphoria
but you were not having a good week.
I was, but its importance was lost.
Seeing you was a sign from hell,
the tears I kept and the smiles I faked
I hope they reach the point of no return.
Imaginary kisses void of pleasure
like knifes, stabbing a butterfly in my stomach,
and I, I cannot regret enough
the time I had spent dreaming.
Fantastic is a word I ban and detest
the word that used to make me shiver
the word that was used to describe me.
I will no longer kiss, I will now keep on dreaming
of the next ray of light coming from a country
where it snows less.
A promise I make, no, he will not like hockey
he, the next sign of hope in my dream, and no,
no dates by the river
but meaningful words – no empty words
he will not be caressing my hair.
I will mourn for a quarter of an hour.
Then, I will stand on my feet
being so fantastic and mobile
I will move on.
