Eugene Issaus

Black horse, strolling alone, to the river
...

(I)
I feel the river of notes passing through my fingers
...

After the fog gradually faded, I could see
In about a hundred steps away from me
A quiet estate extending towards the sea
Beyond a long crowded path of trees.
...

I. To Ashes, or, epilogue of the Flood

To Ashes.
Though my heart is still wandering
...

The first moment when I step onto the train
As if you are already present
The train delivers my body and heart forward.
Fresh green scenes flying behind me
...

The open end of mind
submerged in
the reservoir of memory
where I tried to find
...

A Night without stars.

One lamp on the way,
gently shining on us both,
...

Sun shining through leaves onto the ground
Gold autumn projections
Glittering between patches of shades
...

Inside this transparent world
With glittering sun rays
I see you at a distance
Pure white existence
...

The scars have overloaded my heart
They move onto my face
Yet when I try to smile at life
They remind me of pain
...

Following the audience into the seats
Lights off
Adverts stop
The screen becomes dark and silent…
...

Being kidnapped from its place
Poor bird—into a cage
Had not been imprisoned in its life
It hopped, it flew, and just realized—
...

In the center of the vast and boundless ocean,
Small ship, where do you want to go?
Struggling between roaring hills and valleys
Angry waves, swinging it to and fro
...

The alpha hall finally appears within my sight
That tall brick-red building, spectacular
Having no idea which side is the entrance at
I randomly pick one direction and try
...

The bus is absorbed into the tunnel
light arrows flying on my right
retreating fast, as the bus
rows from side to side.
...

Rain pouring onto this narrow street
In this mid-summer heat-striken day
I push my back against the wall for shelter
-And it moves, and it rotates like a door.
...

Life is vibrations
Catching the pulse of the day
To eat, to sleep, to walk, to play,
Reflections at midnight.
...

Unbearable heat, stuffy and dizzy
sipping a bit of water in the classroom
such cool and refreshing
until I receive something even more refreshing
...

In this castle I listen to the echo of the winds
winds that had blown away time
winds that had blown away
miserable time and hope
...

Our heart is a jigsaw puzzle
in reality, only half of it

To find a great friend
...
