DRAGOSTEA CA O FORMĂ DE MUTILARE

ți-am incendiat buzele

urechile 

gâtul 

coapsele 

până am făcut iubirea asta

scrum 

Aștept sa mi scrii,

Un mic mesaj sa îmi trimiți,

Sa mi spui ca ma iubești,

Și asa tu ma n veselesti.

Sa simt ca sunt iubita,

Sa fiu fata visurilor tale,

Dar păcat ca e doar o imaginare.

Am așteptat,

Și am asteptat,

Crezând ca o sa vii,

Dar tot nu ai venit.

M am pus cu capul pe perna

Și am așteptat sa mi scrii.

Am început sa plang,

Sa plang de durere,

Căci inima mea pe tine te vrea.

Păcat ca nu simte și a ta asa...

Am nevoie de tine,

Ma pierd în gânduri,

Ma pierd în mii de vise,

Mii de poezii,

Doar pentru tine.

Te doresc cum oamenii doresc banii,

Dar eu te vreau pe tine.

Sa fii lângă mine,

Sa ma ajuti și sa ma susții.

Te vreau și am nevoie de tine,

Și ca să nu te pierd,

Ti as zice cele 2 cuvinte

Și 8 litere,

Dar știu ca nu are sens...

Asa eu ma mint mereu,

Crezând ca ma iubești,

Ca intr o zi o sa ma dorești...

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.

Doar o dată întâmplător ,

Ne-am întânlit privirea

Și de atunci , din clipa aceia ,

Am cunoscut iubirea .

În câți ochi m-am oglindit ,

Cu trecerea prin vreme ,

Nici o privire na știut

Ca tine să mă cheme .

În ochii tăi am deslușit ,

Pentru întâia oară ,

Ce e fiorul dorului ,

Când trupul se înfioară ?

Și dor mi-a fost de-atunci ,

De ochii tăi negri , adânci ,

Și tu ai înțeles izvorul

Dorințelor din ochii mei ...

Mi-ai aprins în suflet 

Atâta vâlvătaie ...

Credeam că , dacă ai să pleci ,

De dor , eu am să mor ...

Trebuie să recunosc cât sunt de fericit ,

Că-ci te iubesc - AUZI FEMEIE ? -

Și văd că sunt iubit ...

Și ce va fi la urmă ?

Și mă gândesc când sunt nebun ...

Iubirea de ne moare ,

Ce vom face noi , cu viața noastră ,

Vom mai trăi noi oare ?

Hai să ne păstrăm iubirea ,

S-o ascundem , la nevoie , 

Căci tu esti , pentru mine tot ;

Altar , și mamă și femeie .

Sunt iubiri de multe feluri 

Mulți se laudă cu ea ,

Iubirea noastră a fost una ,

Cu alta nu pot compara .

La sat, sub cerul greu de stele reci,

Se-aștern tăceri ce nu le poți culege,

Și-o vorbă mută-n ceasul fără lege

Încearcă plânsul, să răzbată-n veci.

Din curți tăcute, strigătele-s frânte,

Ascunse-n umbra serii, în ogrăzi,

Copiii prind în ochi să își înfrunte

Durerea grea ce-n inimă o vezi.

Săteni grăbiți, cu vorba îngropată,

Dezleagă boii, pleacă peste deal,

Dar nu văd urme, palme vinovate,

Ce-au frânt iubirea, au topit moral.

O mamă-și strânge pruncii-ntr-o cămară,

Șoptindu-le povești de-adevărat,

Când tata strigă-n casa lor amară

Iar visul pașnic le e iar stricat.

E greu la sat să spui, să ceri dreptate,

Căci gura lumii-nchide adevărul,

Iar glasul prinde doar pe jumătate

Ce rana-ascunde-n trup și-n piept amarul.

Și viața merge, tristă, în tăcere,

Sub cerul plin de stele vechi și reci,

Căci rănile ce dor se-ntorc, severe,

La sat rămân ascunse, peste veci.

Mi-i roșu gurmazul de- atîta -ncordare
Si ochiul mi-i aspru de- atîta mirare.
O frunză pe apă, i-o frunză ce doare,
I-o mâina întinsă de-a morții salvare.

De cînd am ales să mă duc de la tine
Un sânge amar îmi curge în vine
N-au cum să -nțeleagă, străinii de mine,
Povara ce-o port, spre a lor fericire.

Grăbiți, ei m-au scos din brațele - ți reci,
Dar poate și singur ai vrut ca să pleci;
Departe de mine să fii tu în veci
Si doar ca fantoma prin față să -mi treci...

...Deschisă -i fereastra din nou către lume
Si ceru-i albastru, dar ochiu-mi apune
Din litere grele-n cercând să adune
Un nume, pe buzele mele, un nume.

Pornește-un vânt de vară

Suflând apleacă lanul

Se-ndreaptă către munte

Cântând se mișcă ramul

Coboar-apoi spre mare

Ușor împinge valul

Plimbându-se în cercuri

Șoptind atinge malul

Prin apele sărate

Înoată-n lung delfinii

Sărind pe lângă barcă

Încântă pasagerii

Plutind fără de teamă

Se-arată pescărușii

Așteteaptă-n zbor pomană

Să prindă pufuleții

Din papură și trestii

Se-aude hărmălaie

Orăcăie brotacii

Tot cântă din cimpoaie

Apar și cormoranii

Egretele-s  vioaie

Ascund în cuib mezinii

Se-arată-n ceruri ploaie

Pe câmp rotesc ciulinii

Uscat pământul doare

Oftează mărăcinii

De apă setea-i mare

Furtuna răbufnește

În zări norii se-nfoaie

Stihia se pornește

Ne-ascundem în odaie

Privim de la ferestre

Spectacol de șuvoaie

Imagini de poveste

Curg apele puhoaie

Structurile terestre

Topindu-se se-nmoaie

Răsună-n cer orchestre

Prin nori lucesc văpaie

De-odată se oprește

Fug norii în convoaie

Apar crâmpeie-albastre

Lumina  se  înfoaie

Un soare dogorește

Cad razele greoaie

Grădina înflorește

Petale-n evantaie

Spre seară vine luna

Căldura se înmoaie

Ieșim cu toți-afară

Să facem o plimbare

Curând răsare noapte

Lumina se îndoaie

Adorm și cântăreții

E liniște-n zăvoaie
