White Tulip

Abandoned by the ground and the rain
White tulip stands proudly in the vase,
Its leafs breathe the air without a sound
Then it slowly turns towards the sun.

Like a long yawn, the petals open;
Chemical substances unspoken
Surrender to fate or to science,
The tulip bends and bows in silence.

I’m staring at this blossoming life,
As drying blood on a wound, so light.
White tulip, I know you are dying
But your beauty is what leaves me crying.

Light Years

I promised to write something for my birthday. I already had a plan what to tell you, but that plan had been changed so many times by life since then. When I was a kid, I might have had an idea how it was going to be 30 years old. Good job, loving husband, kids, car and a house with garden, probably. But I have never thought that I’m going to mourn my cousin, who was one year older than me and passed away three days before my anniversary. Sad enough, I know, yet there is something important I learnt last week: there is no young or old, there is only dead or alive. Let me devote this entry to him, who is no longer with us. As time goes, you have to realize one more thing: the number of funerals will only increase for the rest of your life. What are you going to do then? You’ll just try to keep on going with your own things, maybe with more devotion and more discipline and hope you won’t be the last one going away… Therefore I stick to the plan and I’m telling you one of my favourite sto...

Well, I'm not very diligent keeping my blog updated and tidy. Not many of you are complaining! For those who still keep some faith in me and click by accident on my blog (I don't assume there is another reason), I thought to share with you some data about the the yearly amount of visits on My Only Planet. Last March I started to use Histats on my blog (a hidden tracker) with the help of which I could see how often you visit my blog. I wanted to make the tracker visible a long time ago... I just didn't get there yet. To compensate this deficiency, I would like to share with you some interesting data and a screenshot to show you what you had done in a year. - My favourite hit was from Kuala Lumpur googleing 'weapons of harmony'. - I'm very much surprised by the strong interest in my blog from New Zealand. I would have never thought of it. - Prague doesn't surprise me, though. Good people are there:) - My sweet Hungarian and Dutch Readers, All I hope is that I ...

What a weird day, my friend. Those dreams coming out of the blue. They were so real, I couldn't resist them... But this is not what I want to tell you. Hopefully most of you are watching European Championship at the moment, and the rest of you are already accostumed to the fact that I don't say any relevant thing in my blog. Because this blog is still not about a story of characters who have conflicts in their lives, they are struggling and there is catharsis at the end. The story in which a character recognizes movies by its music and spends most of his time attending concerts. This is still me getting on bike every morning to work, going to run in Vondelpark after and trying to go to sleep at midnight. Not much to say - to be honest. And it doesn't mean nothing happens to me. So much things are happening, but still. The question - is it really happening to me? - is still there. I need time to integrate everything in my life. Actually, I think I have a special definition w...
