The Collection

Ready poems for the occasions we all share, personalised with your names and your dates. For when the moment is universal but the greeting should not be.

Magnolia
You're great together, you complete each other,
This is something worth every penny, it's not a bother
It's a pulse in the chest every time you see love in your eyes
Filling your whole body with warmth and crazy shivers without a price
This kind of relationship requires hard work and a lot of strength
But you guys show that it's possible; it's the greatest gift from life itself
It's a brave and adorable thing to want to tie the knot
It provides safety, affiliation; it's like sipping love shot by shot

Bespoke Pieces

Written from inside your own story. How you met, the joke only your family understands, the ordinary Sunday nobody else would think to mention.

The Lift Guy
He bought the oranges, not knowing what they will be for
She hates small places and had no idea that could bring her more
They met one day in a tinnie, tiny lift, she almost cried out there
He was just sitting and thought he will peel an orange, I swear

Then started joking, one, another, and she started laugh
This was the first point plotted on their relationship graph
He adore her in a every possible way, love sparkles in her eyes
She still remembers orange smell and calls that moment prize

Few years later, Daniel thought about bring the moment back
He wanted make her his bride to be, and shout 'yes' and 'tak'!
So he stopped that lift again, with an orange in one hand
A ring inside the other one, and asked: do you understand?

Marta had tears in her eyes and everything was said
She never dreamed about a knight. She got the lift guy instead.

Reflective Verse

Slower, soulful pieces for prints, journals and interiors. Words to live beside rather than words to send.

Life, It Can Be Art
Just breath, close your eyes, be at the moment and listen the melody
Melody of your soul, which flows with your brow, look at that clarity
Which allows you to see what is hidden within the circle of your mind
Then you can be brave, start act not only be just for other people kind
Because it's not always about to be nice but also to create some action
Feel the fear but do it anyway, even if it will costs you some fraction
Because it will add beautiful marks on in the end, and it will shape you
You will be able to experience all colours of the rainbow and go through

Po Polsku

Wiersze po polsku

Poems in the mother tongue, for Polish families and for those who live between two languages. Every bespoke piece can be written in Polish, in English, or as a mirrored pair, so nobody at the table is left translating.

Czarne Liście
Czarne niczym węgiel liście za oknem trzepoczące na wietrze
Patrzę na nie zza okna moszcząc się wygodnie z kieliszkiem wina koniecznie
Takie to szaleństwa dziś nam grają od jakiejś czwartej popołudniu
Długo jasno, długo ciepło toż to lato a nie wieczór w zimnym grudniu

Tak sobie siedzę i patrzę na Ciebie mój Kochany
Kocham Cię za te brew Twoich firany
Za każdą cząstkę Twego ciała i ramiona mnie tulące
Za Twoje uśmiechnięte zmarszczki i oczy kojące

Jesteś moim wypełnieniem i cudownością w dniu niejednym
Moim słodkim uniesieniem, nadzieniem tak niesamowicie pięknym
Tymczasem wino kończy swój taniec zapachowy, czas na nowo wskrzesić go
Kielich pusty stać nie może póki myśli wkoło krążą nie wiadomo gdzie brną

Written for no occasion at all, which is sometimes the very best reason
