Poetryzine Magazine presents the selected poems by the Polish poet Dariusz Pacak
Authenticity
Write in such a way, as to be beyond words.
In Silence you will find the Ultimate Truth. There only you can feed your hunger.
With the leftover money buy an armful of hyacinths or roses. Entertain your heart.
Therefore, write without a pen at first. The silence within The Silence!
Sound of sounds! Listen... Only there you will find the Pulse of Being.
Your eyes will become bloodshot... Then you’ll feel pain...
you'll be overwhelmed by a hot sweat...You’ll be touched by a jolt in your breast.
Streams of tears will run down your face. Fall down.
Get up, and keep moving forward…
Don't stop!
Forget yourself: forget your body, forget your mind! Come back!
Buy flowers again, a bunch of temple flowers.
Get rid of your fear. Close all decorations that surround you. Turn off all the lights.
Wait! Let your hearing lead you…Find the center everywhere and nowhere...
immerse yourself... At this time, write…
It won't be just a string of letters... but a call from there,
from behind the Gateless Gate leading to the Great Reality, you've discovered!
Already beyond words! And the Truth will shine in front of you over the horizon!
Time & timelessness. Form & emptiness… the intense vacuum of space!
Axis mundi! Darkness within the Black Void of Space!
Then, move on…
Don’t let fear turn your step to stone,
and thou shalt tread firmly in no man's land, thy land. You'll begin to bear fruit…
And you will no longer feel hunger... Write that way!

The Prime Mover
on journey
without signposts
is Your unmoved presence
an indication
in the causation of wanderer
how to find azimuth
if not in the true-blue act

The Curse
and if a silence
is to narrate about
the whole world
what is the tongue
if not a lava reducing
Reality to the ashes
