Bulgaria Poetry Contest #1 – First Place
by Boryana Boteva
I was playing with the sparks of dawn,
without feeling that they were burning
my veins
through which still flowed
the love that never happened
and did not fill me with that irresistible
desire
to caress you with the rays of the sun
until you burn
and we are resurrected together
in a past life.
