Diana Kouprina

My love,
My other half
Of me.
You are my muse
...

The gulp of air,
First breath taken
I felt fear when I breathed in life
I didn't want to be here
...

Vanilla Butterflies
We had a light green balcony which in the springtime matched the vanilla butterflies,
They were ivory color and when caught they smelled of vanilla in the summer.
Our hallway floor felt like cement to the bare foot touch,
...

One day withought any thought I caught a butterfly in my net. I held her by the wings,
Excitement took hold of me.
I caught her standing a top of my tippy toes, holding on to the rail. A was a ballerina after all.
What a wonder what a feat, I mused within myself. I ran to show my mother.
...

O! My dear Cleaopatra
Daughter of Isis and Osiris
Fathered by the Great Alexander
You have guided me thus far
...

I was asleep for years,
Put under a spell
Like sleeping beauty.
...

I felt fear when I breathed in life
I didn't want to be here
Where ever that is, I was.
It was cold,
...

We all wear masks but no one told me
I didn't know it was a secret
I just wanted to blend in when I met you
I didn't know you would steal my light
...

Be still my love
Be still my heart
Be still with me.
Forever I am yours,
...

The door was always open,
No warning
And not a sign
The doorway just ajar
...

My lost years
On This. That. And The Other.
Feel the pain of others
Never feeling pain in me.
...

O! My dear Cleaopatra
Daughter of Isis and Osiris
Fathered by the Great Alexander
You have guided me thus far
...

I await patiently,
For the midnight muse
To strike again,
To tell the stories
...

This is my most favourite life,
The one I am living in
Right now.
I had to die to get here.
...

Green balcony
Red painted
Cement hallway floor
The colors are vibrant
...

Black Butterfly
I felt you here with me
The day they told me you had a stroke,
I knew your soul was here,
...

If I let you go
Will you come back to me?
As so few seldom do
If I let go
...
