Dragos Poems
an old instrument with rusty strings
by Bogdan Dragos
he sits alone in the
darkness
on a wooden chair
The walls surrounding him
have no
mirrors and
the windows are covered
by the thickest blinds
......
a self-published book on how to quit smoking
by Bogdan Dragos
That did it
He was tired of coming home from work
and finding
a fucking book on the table
instead of food
but the book was also on his
pillow when he went to bed
on the toilet tank

today I don’t wanna die
by Bogdan Dragos
She walked on tiptoes around the
house and
bounced a few times and
spun like a ballerina
and sang, "Today I don't wanna diiIiIIie."
It was rare for her
but he sure
was glad to see it. Glad and now

no poem, no poetic justice
by Bogdan Dragos

That was his only skill

You continue because of it
by Bogdan Dragos

an old instrument with rusty strings

feeling the train
by Bogdan Dragos
A pretty thick
slice
of hell
That was life
so far
But today things
will change
......
no country for romantic men
by Bogdan Dragos
and the few survivors who couldn’t
fight
were lined up
along with the civilians
and shot
or killed in ways to entertain the soldiers
And dogs were trained to
tear them to shreds
and the ground became black with
their soaked blood

songless bird
by Bogdan Dragos
a songless bird
that would be the nicest
name she’d been
called
the others,
far more common,
being
that little wench
......
hope she’s okay wherever she is
by Bogdan Dragos
she kept saying how much she
hated her tattoos
and kept showing them

"Got 'em when I was young and
dumb and now I
jus' wanna rip my skin off."
