Micropoems by Minko Tanev

Mirror 

I clarify my essence 

in the mirror of the day,

Countless faces are lost 

along the way,

God’s power moves the galaxies.

□

Through the Ages

Strings of harp-

the myth of Orpheus 

lives in collective memory,

Music from celestial spheres 

exalts us,

We continue 

with spunk in the future.

□

 

With Stars 

Maritza's coasts,

settlements over the water are mine.

River amethysts mix me

in kaleidoscopes with stars.

I drink through reeds

whirlwinds of my birth.

□

If We Were 

Star rhythm fills me.

White light - the pulse of the universe

beats in each stalk.

Thousands of suns thump,

as if we were re-created.

□

During the Seasons

The sun peeks through a cloud,

bees pollinate the flowering geranium.

The flight carries the scent of honey 

during the seasons of my admiration.
