made out of dark chocolate.

       she came as a ballerina,

       dressed in white foam

       and velvet,

       joining the cubic dance,

       in a geometrical display.

       time was as usual

       going slowly backward,

       but no one cared,

       as everyone was dreaming,

       and wishing for a spherical world,

       where spheres of all colors

       and sizes,

       were the main actors,

       of this surreal realm.

      14.

      the forgotten paintings

       stored in a museum room,

       revealed their stories today

       in my sunny living room.

       I am writing a novel

       where its characters are alive,

       and visit me

       whenever I feel lonely;

       they live in a city,

       where most of the people

       are painters,

       painting their world

       in pastel colors,

       and living a life

       filled with melancholy,

       where anyone can see

       their history

       through

       the paintings of the past.

      15.

      I am again myself,

       the one that I was

       so many years ago,

       when life was so easy

       and you were so young;

       old pictures,

       in soft-hued colors

       portraying the joy of the world,

       fill the air,

       almost silently, up in the sky,

       where we raised colored

       balloons,

       to celebrate

       our simple

       and renewed life.

       I am again

       what I used to be

       in my forgotten home town,

       eating colored cotton candy

       and dreaming of carousels.

      16.

      a price tag

       decided it’s time

       to live a life of its own.

       the few numbers

       that formed it,

       have started to descend from the book,

       slowly,

       and looked for another shelf,

       to spend their entire day

       behind some thick

       fiction and romance books.

       it all happened at night,

       when the moonlight was bright,

       and everybody else

       was sleeping.

      17.

      small portions of sugar

       in paper containers,

       embodying forms of small brown bears,

       are waiting in line

       to see the latest movie.

       in their world,

       it is regular to be sweet,

       or spicy,

       and coffee always blends

       with foamy milk

       and caramel,

       every afternoon.

       days go by

       and the sun caresses

       with his golden rays,

       a world where

       love,

       is always sweet

       by default.

      18.

      my old telephone,

       made out of gingerbread

       and glittering with sugar powder,

       is quietly awaiting,

       for a call;

       until then,

       he will sleep

       in a world

       where communication

       is made available through

       recipes,

       of the sweetest taste,

       baked

       in the mellow sun,

       which always descends

       over the edge of the planet,

       in his mighty

       and orange-red

       appearance.

      19.

      the vegetables in my garden

       have suddenly decided

       to go on strike,

       today.

       they are discontent

       with the fact that

       apples and oranges,

       get the most sunshine,

       while they have to always do

       with the shade.

       from now on they will grow

       only as cubes, spheres

       and pyramids,

       so that they can feel unique

       for a while,

       in their world of colors

       and perfectly symmetrical

       curves.

      20.

      the old books

       on the shelf

       behind the bar

       where items from the ’60s

       are stationary,

       in silence,

       make me awaken

       to a dusty world

       where old, tainted letters

       fall in an irregular fashion

       on the tiled yellow and black floor

       making a mess

       of dark ink

       and thoughts

       of the past.

      21.

      crayons, pens

       and a yellow eraser

       sit quietly

       over my charcoal sketch

       that shows

       how my world is

       today.

       they wait for me

       to finetune the drawing

       so that they can guide me

       in shaping my broken world

       until it becomes
