munificent 77

Am fost la mare,

Așteptând o schimbare,

A fost doar o imprimare,

O simt ca pe o separare,

Este ca o repetare,

Pare doar o ocupare,

Dar este o modificare.

Mi am făcut un dus cald,

Dar tot rece sunt.

Inima mi e goala 

Și sufletul plăpând.

Nimic nu mai simt 

Totul e gol,

Ma n velesc bine 

Și ma pun la somn.

Dar e greu, e greu s adorm

Când toate amintirile 

Ies la iveala,

Eu plang și ma sufoc

În amintirea goala.

Îmi aduc aminte cum ma priveai,

Cat de frumos te purtai.

Nu cred ca se poate

Sa mai iubesc pe cineva

Cum te iubesc pe tine.

Veșnic în sufletul și mintea mea,

Căci nu te pot uita,

Sper sa nu te pierd

Căci lumea n treaga v a dispărea.

Ma faci sa zâmbesc

Chiar de nu te străduiești.

Când te vad,

Sufletul îmi canta.

Inima mi se umple.

Mi se umple de fericire,

Când ești lângă mine.

Când îți simt mirosul cald

Și ochii sclipitori,

Ma reincarc cu magia lor.

Dar din păcate,

Totul e doar o amintire

Blocata între

Chin și iubire..

Univers de praf,

Un gol căzut,

Râvnit într-o singurătateo toxică a stărilor de toamnă.

Trăirea asta nu e importantă. 

E pierdere-a emoții pure,

Naiv de proastă

A unei ficțiuni - oraş

Nelocuit şi cald de rece.

Oceanul de singurătate...

Mai pierde astăzi o speranţ- a nopții simple.

Şi toamna asta se va pierde, 

Și va rămâne tot uitătă,

O trecere de timp în nefiinţă.

Ah! Şi cât e de banal,  deprinzător, prostesc... 

O starea a naibii de-a speran în nesperanța ce-o trăieşti.

Adie un miros de noiembrie și vin

Miros ce ocoleste-al meu pahar

Privesc pe geam poate revii

Dar nu...mi-e așteptarea în zadar.

Gandurile imi zboară spre trecut

Abia ce sufletul îmi linistisem 

Si toate tainele au renăscut 

Si-au început sa împletească vise.

Din doru-mi ce îl port de-un an

Iarasi se nasc versuri spre infinit 

E-atata foșnet pe străzi de lume

Doar tu ești pe-o hartie de citit.

Atat de-adanc te port in suflet

Și-atat de mult te simt in sinea mea

Că mă cuprinde-un simt de teamă 

Că nicicând din el ... nu vei pleca.

Mi te ascund printre cuvinte dulci

Si te strecor în pagini ce te invocă 

Cu fiecare rand tot mai aproape-mi ești 

Si-n suflet iarăși simțurile se revoltă.. 

Anostă închipuire despre nemurire

Funest,emfatic,secat gând

Pătrunzătoare pedeapsa de degradare

A sufletului părăgănit.

Extazul,desfătare pământească

Ilogic,perspicace și efemer

Când sufletul e călător

Din ființă în neființă

Treptat ne pierdem în timp

Conștientizăm că itinerariul este veșnic

Posomorât,ambiguu și nemulțumiti

Ajungem să cerșim un moment

Ce cadru incomparabil,viața

Un dar,un dar greu de înțeles

De ce oamenii se pierd in nonvalori atât de des?

Mă întreb adesea și mă întreb mereu de ce?

Când fiecare are un destin de cănd e în pântece!

Primite mi ca nu ajungem acolo

Promite-mi ca nu trebuie sa aleg

Nu pot sa gândesc varianta asta

Nu pot spune cuvintele astea

Nu pot să stau sa privesc și să nu fac nimic

Nu aș putea face asta

Nu vreau să o mai gândesc

People died…

Am stabilit asta deja

Dar când timpul trece asta devine o variantă

Viața s a rupt pe jumate

Nu trebuie și nu vreau să știu ca în mâinile mele va dispărea toată

Mai e timp, de ce îmi fac asta?

Nici eu nu știu și poate nici tu

Dar asta nu înseamnă ca ceva se schimbă

Vreau ca mintea să stea în loc

Să nu mai creeze scenarii la infinit

Să mă bucur de timp și să nu mai gândesc asa

Asta spun, dar tot gândesc

Gândire molipsitoare.

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.

Tare aș vrea, dragă muză,
Embleme brodate în inimii aliză,
Ale tale trăsături fine, puse tainic pe hârtie,
Să fi a mea poezie, a cuvintelor magie.

Fiică a paznicii coperte, înscrisă restrânsă,
Unde în nod celtic al paginilor cuprinsă.
Răbdător totuși așteptând ale tale litere,
Alungite în viitoare iubite trăiri, clare.

Dornic asimilată în forme de catrință,
Iar parcă de aș aștepta a ta prezență,
Noduri îmbinate in dansul de culori,
Nu de n-aș fura dintre măieștri nori,
O rochie demnă numai de-o zeiță,
Unde aș dori la schimb, doar cuvinte din guriță.

Din "Volumul Ceai de portocale și scorțișoară"

Unforgettable, that's what you are

Unforgettable though near or far

Like a song of love that clings to me

How the thought of you does things to me

Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

That's why, darling, it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

That's why, darling, it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too.

Indimenticabile

Indimenticabile, ecco cosa sei

Indimenticabile se vicino o lontano

Come una canzone d'amore che mi si aggrappa

Come il pensiero di te mi fa cose

Mai prima d'ora qualcuno è stato di più

Indimenticabile in ogni modo

E per sempre, così rimarrai

Ecco perché, tesoro, è incredibile

Quel qualcuno così indimenticabile

Pensa che anch'io sono indimenticabile

Indimenticabile in ogni modo

E per sempre, così rimarrai

Ecco perché, tesoro, è incredibile

Quel qualcuno così indimenticabile

Pensa che anch'io sono indimenticabile.

În seara lină, ca un vis de lună,

Îți caut chipul în al nopții dor,

Și-n fiecare stea ce împreună

Se-aprinde-n cer, te simt iar de-ajutor.

Ca un izvor ce-n munte se frământă,

Iubirea noastră curge-n timp domol,

Și-n sufletul ce tainic se avântă

Rămâne dorul, veșnic, ca un sol.

Ești floarea albă-n gândurile mele,

Ce-nfruntă iarna rece și pustiu,

Și-n ochii tăi, ca două blânde stele,

Învăț să cred în tot ce nu mai știu.

Nu mă mai iubești, dar mă privești 

În zilele-n care cu privirea ne-ntâlnim,

Nu  știu cum faci, dar reușești 

Deseori să mă pui în suspin.

Nu mă iubești, dar nici nu încerci,

Prioritățile ne sunt diferite,

Tu astfel pe toate mi le-ntreci ,

Dar la tine nu știu ce se mai simte.

Nu mă iubești, dar nici nu mi-o spui,

Iar așa simt că timpul mi se pierde

Dorința a dragostei văd că nu mai pui...

Divinul dintre noi nu se mai vede.

Nu mă mai iubești și nici nu mă aștept să o faci

Căci degeaba încerc să trec cu vederea

Mesajele în care și cu sufletul taci,

Ce mai târziu nu îmi mai aderă gândirea.

Mă mai iubești? sau pot să uit?

De noi? De tot ce am avut?

Ce facem? Lăsăm totul în trecut?

Faptul că mă iubeai, dar să arăți nu ai putut?

Ai fost și vei rămâne prima  mea iubire 

Care eu am iubito foarte mult 

De care îmi voi aminti tot restul vieții mele cât voi trăi  pe acest pământ 

Seara mă gândesc la tine nu știu dacă faci și tu  la fel ca și mine 

Iar când mă culc te visez noapte și zi că poate într-o bună zi vei reveni din nou lângă mine prima și ultima mea iubire
