AM TRECUT DORUL PE NUMELE TĂU

La sfarsit de an... nu am putut sa-ti dau mesaj de bine

N-as putea ghici ce dorință ți-ai pus

Dar m-am hotărât sa fac un pas în spate 

Am insistat destul și mai mult te-ai opus

La sfarsit de an.... sper sa fii bine

Oricat am încercat...n-ai vrut sa înțelegi ce simt

Ai continuat sa ma ignori... si asta este

E început de an... si îmi e dor... nu pot sa mint...

E pace în pahar și-n piept e sărbătoare,

Un roșu sec se scurge, cald și lin,

Dorința ce a fost, azi e-o trăire,

Un rând de lumină pe-un cer cristalin.

Simt pruna coaptă sub soarele moale,

E amintirea ta, fără spini, fără plâns,

Aroma ce urcă pe maluri de Sena

E dorul ce-n brațe, sub alt cer, a fost strâns.

Nu e doliu în vin, e doar rodul din toamnă,

E gustul de pâine și miez de nucă,

Liniștea e-o doamnă ce blând mă îndeamnă,

Să las orice umbră în vânt să se ducă.

Ciocnesc cu absența sub cer de mătase,

Paharul e plin de un timp mai curat,

Departe de-un „NU” și de ziduri rămase,

Sunt liberă-n orașul ce m-a îmbrățișat.

Îți beau amintirea cu sufletul clar,

Vinul e sec, însă viața e albă,

Truda din cupă e ultimul dar,

Purtat pe buze ca pe-o podoabă.

Așez paharul, sentința-i împlinită,

Un ultim strop se scurge, ca un semn,

Povestea doarme-n urmă, liniștită,

Sub dopul de tăcere... și de lemn.

Cuprinsă de-un dor ţi-aș scrie

Despre vremuri apuse și timp

De parcă am asteptat acest anotimp

Și povestea noastra s-ar putea rescrie.

Oare același parfum il foloseşti?

Ochii la fel fi sclipesc când zâmbești?

Glasul oare la fel îți sună?

Îţi mai place s-asculți ploaia când e furtună?.

Rămân femeie chiar de lacrimi cad în noapte,

Când nu mă vede nimeni cum mă frâng,

Când dorul mi se-așează peste pleoape

Şi-n suflet plouă și de neputinți mă sting. 

Rămân femeie chiar de-mi port furtuna

De cand lumea mi-e ruptă-n jumătate,

Îmi sunt tăcerea ce în noapte urlă 

Dar și glasul ce m--alină mai departe.

voiam sa îmi ramai un strop dulce de vin

sa-mi fi un cald apus de toamnă

dar mi-ai rămas etern suspin

O coarda plânsa de chitară

de esti in brate potrivite

de ești acolo unde-ti dorești

fără ambiguitati prostești

de ești iubit... sa prețuiești..

azi inca arde doru-n mine

cum ardea candva odată...

si imi mocnește o durere

de-o profunzime întunecată,

vreau sa ma-mpac cu mine

sa las Sa cresca peste rana flori

din gânduri sa se nască doar poeme

despre tine, vin și promise îmbrățişări..

Scriu pentru că tacerea-ti e prea mare

Scriu pentru gânduri ramase nerostite,

Scriu sa-mi las mintea sa-mi scape

De praful verdictelor și judecătilor tale stricte.

Scriu ca sa scap de limite impuse

Scriu sa uit de simturi ce nu vor a se estompa

Scriu incercând sa fac ordine în haosul

Ce-a ta plecare grabnica mi l-a lăsat.

Scriu poate intr-o zi ma vei surprinde

Vei reveni c-un dor pentru-a rescrie

Povestii noastre unice un alt final

Scriu uneori în amintirea unui clinchet de paha...

Scriu .. cât mai pot sa te scriu

Cu lacrimi cu zambet cu sfântă culoare

Tânjind mereu la vinu-ti mieriu

Scriu trist..alteori în palme c-un soare. 

Și dacă aș plânge ce aș rezolva?

Să-mi înec amarul în băutură?

Când știu exact că nu-ți mai pot avea inima...

Te vreau... te vreau iar lângă mine..

Însă îmi e frică... îmi e frică de a ta respingere

Tot ce știu este că iubirea ta a existat,

Iar eu în fiecare secundă de ea am profitat

Și împreună de probleme noi doi am scăpat.

Hai să fim iar împreună...

Hai să ne iubim din nou

Ne vom duce înapoi pe lună 

Și-ți voi picta un tablou

De ai stiut că e ultima dată,

Că vom mai fi în tot ce ne-nconjoară,

De ce nu m-ai îmbrățișat cu inima curată

Și mi-ai lăsat dorul în piept să doară?...

De ce-ai lăsat parfumul tău pe gând,

În locul unde nimeni nu ajunge.

De ce-ai rostit tăcerea, rând cu rând,

Eu s-o transcriu când sufletul îmi plânge?

De ce nu mi-ai lăsat aroma ta pe buze

Și m-ai lăsat să îi duc dorul... în vise

Încă-mi mirose a dragoste neastâmpărată

Sunt singură că știi, dar n-ai să recunoști vreodată.

Mi-aș fi pierdut conturul între-ai tăi umeri,

O clipă gândul să-ți poarte al meu nume,

Să-ți ard în brațe toată fără temeri...

Ca semn c-ai fost o dată..tot în lume.

As from work I came back home,

And stood in front of my door,

I noticed a small envelope on the floor,

It was about an event, not here in Rome.

It was an invitation to a dance,

A waltz in San Marino, in the three towers.

It said, to arrive between the nights hours, with flowers,

And not to leave your apperance to chance, make sure to bring your best glance.

The envelope had such a powerful smell,

As to read I begin, it made my head spin.

At the same time, it was slowly pulling me in,

It was as if I was under a sort of spell.

Inside, a letter with a small kiss at the end,

It was stamped with a single name,  Dery.

Both in a red so dark-it's origin I couldn't comprehend…

It wasn't the juice of any berry but maybe, a black cherry?

The day of the party grew nearer,

And things started to become clearer.

It must have been some sort of elaborate trick,

This was probably how someone got their kick.

I wanted to look up the party online,

But I couldn't find anything that to the date would align.

Intrigue was taking over me and with myself, I could agree,

That I needed to go and what this was about, to see.

I decided to wear my best, navy blue with the black hue,

I was happy with my decision when I saw who,

Was going to attend and how much they were able to spend.

The richest men and women from their cars would descend.

Some of the wealthiest people of the world gathered,

For an event I didn't even know about, let alone how much it actually mattered.

It seemed like the biggest thing of the year,

But it would appear, that online no one knew what was going on here.

The music was blaring all around the yard,

Although there was no sight of any sort of guard.

We were all asked inside the ball-room,

I was wondering how Dery our night would try to illume.

Suddenly, a thunder sounded like it cracked the sky.

I had a feeling that something dark was nigh.

As if it was so close that I could hear,

Whispering in my ear, to it drawing me near.

I stopped and went away from the crowd,

In the mirror I saw something, to myself I thought,

I looked and looked but around me was naught.

I continued and to myself that by nothing I will be scared I avowed.

The room was massive, it even had a mezzanine floor,

We were all invited to drinks and the party started to roar.

The wine was exquisite, it had clearly been aged for a while,

And as the music changed, our host came down the stairs with a slight smile.

My jaw dropped when I saw who in front of us stopped,

The person who came down the stairs,

Looked like out of a movie she had been cropped.

She declared the party open, requesting us to stop from our affairs and form pairs.

As I was the only alone one,

I really stuck out as the sore thumb,

When by her eyes I was found, I wanted to run,

But she beckoned me and my legs felt numb.

The sound of her stilettos drowned out the ceaseless dance,

As she spun around the crowd, as if she was in a shroud, of mist.

But before I could understand my circumstance,

She took me by the wrist and made us twist.

She was dazzling to all who laid eyes upon her,

Wearing a long red dress but not leaving much for me to guess.

The way her olive skin, brown eyes and freckled cheeks her beauty would confer was leaving my mind in an endless blur,

Barely able to convalesce, with haste I grabbed her hand and waist, trying to impress.

She gave me her first smile of the night,

With a deep look into the eyes,

I didn't stop to think of what that implies,

Because at first sight, everything felt just right.

But suddenly, I had the strangest feeling,

My instinct told me that I had seen her before,

It was as if something from me she was concealing.

She reminded me of someone I used to adore, the way she moved, the things she wore…

She had the gentleness of a red aster,

And as the crescendo was quickly approaching,

She on my chest was intentionally encroaching.

Faster, and please hold your partners closer, said the choirmaster.

Step by step, we entered into the limelight,

The only couple who the speed could withstand,

I grabbed her hand, trying to make the last move truly grand,

She understood, held me tight and let me take her to another height.

As we released each other, everyone stood aside,

The cheers of the crowd were like those of a choir,

Now, it was clear, between us, there was a fire.

There was no emotion left to hide, her smile was just as bright as the moon outside.

I was almost exhausted to death,

But she didn't even seem affected,

And after herself she had quickly collected,

With her next breath she whispered a shibboleth.

I knew the dialect but barely remembered the word.

Her lips slowly mumbled the phrase: Hazırlayın!

She could tell that not only I had heard but it's meaning I had inferred.

Not staying, she slowly went up the steps, her message clearly conveying.

Two servants quickly rushed behind her,

Before one came to tell me,

"Our mistress at the top wishes to see thee.

" Please make your way to the stairs, sir."

It hit me, as I entered the room at the top of the tower,

Everything smelled of orris, more expensive than anything aurous.

And on the bed, a tag attached to a small but gorgeous red flower,

As a chorus, we both read "Scadoxus multiflorus."

" Maybe you know what type it is? What it's called I mean. "

Her voice seemed to come out of no-where,

' I could swear there was no one there'.

" On the name your ideas have to convene, it'll make sense of everything you've seen."

I tried, I wanted to scream, to yell, to shout,

But she grabbed me before my mouth I could move,

" Shush now, you've got nothing more to prove,"

" I am ecstatic you finally figured it out."

I tried to open my mouth but no words would come out,

" I shall allow you to speak but shhhh..not too loud."

" I ask of thee not to offer me any reason your integrity to doubt. "

She snapped her fingers but I said naught aloud, maybe I was just too proud.

" Thou in sooth have nothing to say? Very well, then at least offer me a dance."

I grabbed her hand and waist once more and started slow,

" I don't suppose there's any chance but is this about a romance? "

Her eyes began to glow as we danced to the music below.

" So tell me now, are you a vampire of yore? "

" Thou ought not to name any lady that way, she says as at me she smiles."

" Although yes, from before-Europe Suleiman to conquer swore,"

" Hence I barely escaped the body piles from the Carmonica trials.  "

' So tell me, dear lady what is your name? Dery must surely not be it. '

" Ah, thou hath to notice, thou is only half right."

" Derya is not my birthname, only one my situation to befit. "

" Then, Derya, if to ask I might, what is the flower in our sight? "

" 'Tis here so thou canst avoid the pain…"

' Pain? What are you even talking about? '

" Thou didn't think I brought thee here in vain…"

" Thou are here for a reason, for that there should be no doubt."

" I have examined thou for a very long time, "

" We have met before…a long time back, ten years ago, "

" I wished to help thee grow but life happened and I had to go,"

" Thou were twenty five then, in your prime. "

" You mean…Aysel? Is that really you?"

" You just left me, without any warning…"

" I woke up that day and you were gone by the morning…"

" Why? I still have no clue…that was 5 years of us that you just threw…"

" Thou were too young my motives to comprehended.  "

" Thou were afraid of thine future, of us becoming more,"

'Did you ever try your mistake to amend? I thought my search will never end… '

' How is that fair to me? My heart it tore, it hurt me to my core.'

"I was frightened that eternity with me you wouldn't want to spend… "

"But I hath given this much consideration."

"Thus I am offering you a choice, how to live thy live and its duration,"

"Drink from the tea on that table and your mortal life will end."

"From the sun you will have to hide and the hunters that will constantly be a thorn in your side,"

"Thy life will be one of knowledge and power,"

"But with misery and despair the Earth you'll scour."

"Doth not worry, thou will have a bride who through this life will guide."

"Thou may take thy leave now although we shall never meet again,"

"Our love you'll have to finally forfeit and forget."

'And yet, how long has it been since someone like me you've met?'

"To my disdain, beloved, centuries have passed in vain."

So now, your decision please make

----

Drink the tea

As our bodies unclasp from each others warm embrace,

I didn't want to lose the pace as I bring the tea to my face,

She grabs my neck and whispers in my ear.

"I love you"…I said 'I love you too' with no fear…

----

Leave

As our bodies unclasp from each others warm embrace,

I saw the sadness in her face as I made to leave that place,

With a smile I weaved through the crowd, the dance…

…Knowing it wouldn't be by chance...that my life to something better would advance.

Ja, einmal ich träumte von einem Sonnenstrahl,

auf dem wir uns trafen, irgendwo im All.

Wie noch nie im Leben fühlt' ich so ein Glück,

denn zum ersten Male lächelst du zurück.

Ich glaube nicht an Träume, so sehr ich auch versuch',

doch hoff' ich eines Tages nur dich zu seh'n

beim Purpursonnenaufgang, wenn wir uns wiederseh'n,

denselben Weg wird an geh'n.

Ja, einmal ich träumte von einem Sonnenstrahl,

auf dem wir uns trafen, irgendwo im All.

Der Traum geht zu ende, die Sonne sank ins Meer

und als ich erwachte, fand ich dich nicht mehr.

Ja, en gång drömde

Ja, en gång drömde jag om en solstråle,

där vi träffades, någonstans i rymden.

Jag har aldrig känt mig så lycklig som aldrig förr i mitt liv,

för för första gången ler du tillbaka.

Jag tror inte på drömmar, hur mycket jag än försöker

Men jag hoppas att jag bara ses en dag

vid den lila soluppgången, när vi träffas igen,

samma väg kommer att tas.

Ja, en gång drömde jag om en solstråle,

Ja, en gång drömde jag om en solstråle,

där vi träffades, någonstans i rymden.

Drömmen går mot sitt slut, solen sjönkner i havet

och när jag vaknade hittade jag dig inte längre.

George, amintirile mele legate de tine, cum te-am cunoscut și cât de mult mi-a plăcut cum scriai, cum mâncai pizza, cum râdeai la glumele mele (că în mod normal, doar eu râd), cum râdeai de mine câteodată, cum ne plimbam pe alei, cum mergeam amândoi cu motocicleta, pe autostrada Soarelui, depășind limita de viteză, cu pletele în vânt, lipsiți de griji, cum știam să ne facem unul pe celălalt să ne simțim bine, să ne ridicăm moralul, să ne distrăm prin crâșme, să mergem la meciuri de fotbal, să țipăm și să scuipăm semințe, să ne jucăm cu pisica mea de rasă Nebelung, să îmi dai un stilou de care te-ai plictisit, ți-l reparam și te bucurai foarte mult. Dulci amintiri, păcat că ai plecat cu nu știu ce proiect in Brazilia. Nu e nimic, erai tânăr, cum ar spune Otilia din ,,Enigma Otiliei" aveai visele tale și trebuia să ți le îndeplinești. Mai sunt atâtea fete, dar de proiectul acela chiar aveai nevoie. Te înțeleg, nu mi-ai lăsat multe poezii, dar eu le voi păstra, amintirea lor va înflori din ce în ce mai mult când le voi citi, răsfoi, când mă voi bucura de scrisul tău și de ce ai vrut să exprimi prin acele rânduri.

Ein Junge, der ungefähr die gleiche Art von Musik hört, George.

George, meine Erinnerungen an dich, wie ich dich kennengelernt habe und wie sehr ich es geliebt habe, wie du geschrieben hast, wie du Pizza gegessen hast, wie du über meine Witze gelacht hast (denn normalerweise lache nur ich), wie du mich manchmal ausgelacht hast, wie wir es früher getan haben durch die Gassen laufen, wie wir beide Motorrad fuhren, auf dem Highway der Sonne, die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung überschritten, mit den Haaren im Wind, sorglos, wie wir es verstanden, uns gegenseitig ein gutes Gefühl zu geben, unsere Stimmung zu heben, für uns Habe Spaß in Kneipen, gehe zu Fußballspielen, schreie und spucke Samen, spiele mit meiner Nebelung-Katze, gib mir einen Stift, der dir langweilig war, ich würde ihn reparieren und du würdest dich sehr freuen. Schöne Erinnerungen, schade, dass du mit einem ich weiß nicht welchem Projekt in Brasilien abgereist bist. Es ist nichts, du warst jung, wie Otilia aus „Otilias Rätsel“ sagen würde, du hattest deine Träume und musstest sie erfüllen. Es gibt so viele andere Mädchen, aber du brauchtest dieses Projekt wirklich. Ich verstehe dich, du hast es nicht getan Hinterlassen Sie mir viele Gedichte, aber ich werde sie behalten, ihre Erinnerung wird immer mehr aufblühen, wenn ich sie lese, durchblättere, wenn mir Ihr Schreiben gefällt und was Sie mit diesen Zeilen ausdrücken wollten.

I love your smile,

I love your hair,

Your eyes shine brighter than the sun.

Even tho this doesn't rime

Please know i'll love you till the end of time
