Halcyon's Dream by Martin Schwarz

6/29/2022

 
Picture

​Kingfisher, kingfisher
What makes you so sure
When you dive in
So bravely 
You´ll rise up again

Halcyon's dream 
Calms the perilous seas

Kingfisher, kingfisher  
A treacherous stream 
Hides your turquoise body
In a fortress of driftwood  
Your blessings, your death wish
Foam into screams

Halcyon's dream 
Calms the perilous seas
On a fish bone raft
Meandering through summertide
He charts the unyielding waves
Scours the souls for betrayal

A lone tempest gently rocks you
Cradle walls of different hues


Martin is a young author whose drawer supply of poems has outgrown its dimensions, so he decided to start sending them around. Since his job in biomedicine is very evidence-based and scientific, he ventilates by writing poems and rock songs and by singing, screeching and moving in the choir of Prague´s RockOpera. He sings and plays the guitar in a metal band called Porcelain Shards.
