Nu te indragosti de mine

E o liniste macabra ce taie pana si a timpului suflare...

O liniste ce te ingroapa, in amintiri si n ganduri de demult,e liniste ca la nceput...

E liniste pe al meu mormant de lut,unde m am coborat sa scriu in liniste povesti despre eroii ce au cazut

E liniste cu aroma de trecut...

E liniste la mine in camara, e liniste ce se asterne pe o foaie goala,

Scursa din mina de creion si mana care nu mai tremura ca altadata

E liniste printre cuvinte care  au uitat cum e sa zboare pe cerul plin de vise.

E liniste...toti oamenii au inceput sa taca,sa si vada de a lor treburi si nimicuri,

Cand eu port conversatii lungi cu mine... e liniste ascunsa printre randuri.

E liniste cu al ei parfum de dor, e liniste iar eu simt c am sa mor,

Sa dau mana din nou cu mine,in alta lume,

Unde e liniste tesuta din alte cuvinte,pe o alta foaie de hartie.

E liniste cu note dulci de jazz pustiu si trist, 

Pianul canta singur in decor o melodie pe ripit,

Pe masa sade abosit paharul cu alcool ,

C o fi gin sau wisky cu i ii pasa ,

E liniste, cand eu nu sunt acasa.

E liniste stoarsa din norii gri de toamna,

Ploua cu liniste pe al meu suflet ce viseaza,

In liniste la o frumoasa primavara...e liniste inauntru si afara.

E liniste in glasul tau iubito,

Te as saruta dar e prea liniste ntre noi si nu as vrea s o stric,

E liniste cu aroma de iubire,

Cand suntem doar noi doi pe canapea si o lume ntrega care nu ne stie...

Dezbraca ma de miliarde de culori,

Ca sa pictez un rasarit de soare pe cerul plin de nori...

Dezbraca ma de vise, acolo unde, toate luminile sunt stinse,

Sa se prefaca n stele cazatoare,pe cerul unde soarele nu mai rasare...

Dezbraca ma de lacrimi...sa se inunde o lume ntreaga,si al meu pamant secatuit sa se adape...

O noua viata sa rasara, prin fir de iarba proaspat si printr un gand de primavara...

Dezbraca ma de a mea singuratate cu care am trait atatea vieti,cu care am trait si dupa moarte...

De care m am indragostit atat de tare , ca pictorul de a lui muza ce n suflet i a turnat culoare...

Dezbraca ma de amintiri...sa uit ca a mai fost ceva in urma mea, caci eu nu mai sunt eu,

Si timpul nu mai e timp si nici iubirea si trecutul nu si mai aduc aminte cine sunt...

Dezbraca ma de ea...de gandul ca acolo undeva departe,

Ea inca ma asteapta, sa stam de vorba, la o cafea, 

Dar ce sa i spun  eu Doamne oare...

Dezbraca ma de frici...sa mi regasesc curajul de a ma ntoarce din nou la carma barcii mele,

Lasata in deriva sa se ciocneasca de miile de stanci...

Sa ma intorc din nou la mine si sa ma iau in brate...soptindu mi la ureche...

Ca totul va fi bine...

Dezbraca ma de tot...de dor si de amor...de timpul trecator...

Dezbraca ma  de ar fi sa mor, la o margine de lume, pe iarba intins cu trupul gol...

Dezbraca ma acolo de chinuri si pacate...dezbraca ma de mine...

S arat lumii intregi cum e sa razi...sa plangi...sa suferi...de prea multa iubire...

In noaptea mintii mele, acolo ma scufund cu totul,

cladind din mii de stele,o lume plina de mistere...

In noaptea mintii mele un mandru tanar se arata,

purtand pe cap coroana de lumini si spini, ce drumul

inainte ii vegheaza...

In noaptea mintii mele toti demonii incep sa urle,

gonind spre mandrul tanar ce la o margine de timp acum el sede...

In nopatea mintii mele, o mare de durere se tot scurge, din trupul cel ranit in lupte grele,

cu demoni si cu ingeri, ce au pierit,

ca din infernul de intuneric un mandru soare sa rasara,in fiecare zi la infinit...

In noaptea mintii mele, iubirea geme trista...acolo intr un colt uitat de lume si de timp,

acolo unde se incheie orice drum...

acolo unde totul se preface n scrum...

In noaptea mintii mele, nici somnul nu vrea sa se arate, gonit de zgomotul asurzitor

ce mi tiuie n timpane...

In noaptea mintii mele, e liniste, e dor si e amor,

dar nu i de aici din asta lume,

ci din a mea pe care o cunosc atat de bine...

In noaptea mintii mele, incep s apara multe stele,

iar eu care odinioara uimit priveam spre ele,

acum, privirea imi intorc spre un alt cer,mult mai frumos si mult mai luminos,

E cerul artei mele, pe care am pictat atatea mii de alte stele...

In noaptea mintii mele, s au adunat atat de multe ganduri,

din care incep sa zboare,

spre infinitul cosmos cuvinte calatoare...

In noaptea mintii mele, sunt eu cele ce pazeste ,asa nepasator,nemuritor si rece

un templu grandios ce ascunde n el pe mandrul tanar care n a incetat vreodata ca sa spere,

Ca lui iubire il va gasi in noaptea mintii mele...

Al meu ai fost din prima zi.
Ochii tăi căprui nu m-au mințit
și-mbrățișarea ta m-a amețit.
Mi-ai pus culori în zile gri.

Tu cu mâna tremurândă.
Eu cu zâmbetul prostesc.
Te voiam numai pe tine
și simțeam cum te iubesc.

Decât roșul trandafir
știe poate lipsa ta,
mi-e dor de tine foarte mult,
și vreau să fiu numai a ta.

Când din iubirea unui tânăr se alege praful,

Îşi află sufletul împrăştiat în vânt,

Durerea parcă-i sfâşie tot trupul

Şi doar otravă poartă-n gând.

Nici Dumnezeu nu are, nici speranță,

Oricine pentru el e inutil,

Căci i s-a scurs din sine un potop de viață.

Distorsionat insidios se furişează-n el un gând tiptil.

Caută disperat să-şi schimbe rostul,

Încearcă să-ntrevadă-n plăsmuire adevăr...

Dar cum se simte şi ce speră omul

E relativ un moft, mascat de-un adevăr.

    Din seminţele disperării mele, 
    Au răsărit copaci până la cer, 
    Cu fructe coapte-n mii de stele, 
    Ce strălucesc în plin mister... 
    
    Am plâns cu lacrimi crude, în zadar, 
    Îmbrăţişând copacii fără rădăcini, 
    Căci ei creşteau, iar eu n-aveam habar, 
    Într-ale cerului, înalte, verzi, grădini... 
    
    Şi toate acestea se-ntâmplară, 
    În cuta ochilor din care curge rouă, 
    Căci trandafirii înfloriţi aseară, 
    S-au ofilit în ziua asta nouă...

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.

Dacă va fi să bat
La ușa ta
Deschide-mi iubind clipa
Când m-ai chemat….
Eu să opresc
Ora când te-am strigat
Să  mângâiem
Zorii zilei  noastre,
Nopțile  la înnoptat
Dacă va fi să vin …..

Am să-ți trec prin gând uneori

Căutând biată aripă frântă

Pe cealalt-am legat-o cu flori

Cu acelea ce cred că te-ncântă

Stă pe inimă piatră și-i grea

Scufundându-se-n râul de lacrimi

Căutându-ți lumina de stea

Arde stins înecându-se-n patimi

Cu speranță o mână întind

Așteptându-ți și zâmbet și ploaie

Cu cealaltă încerc să o țin

Dar plecată-i să-ți ceară iertare

Mă aleagă doi pași pe nisip

Căutând urma tălpilor tale

Dorul zace-ntr-o palmă strivit

Aruncându-mă-n grea așteptare

Timpul pare să umble oprit

Căutând suflet trist ascultare

Strigă inima-n piept să o simt

Bate-n ușa iubirii ce doare

Praful orelor tace răstit

Așteptând  a cuvintelor ploaie

Nici o vorbă cât fir de nisip

Căutând să m-arunce-n uitare

Poate singur s-ajungă-mpărțit

Părăsindu-se-n două contrare

Una astăzi și alta un mit

Să abdice-anulând căutare
