Pradă deznadejdii

La o masă galbejita 

Isi dramuia bănuții 

O față-mbatranita,

Implorandu -și sfinții. 

Cu mâna tremurând

Calcula in gând, 

Din privirea i plăpândă

Lacrimi culegând..

Si la colț de stradă 

Mâinile i intinse 

Deznădejdii pradă 

Si frământărilor plănse.

Cu un glas sfios,

Tresarind din buze ,

Cerșea tănguios

Copleșită de scuze.

Iar la sfârșitul zilei

Își cumpărase o pâine 

Din avuția milei,

Îmbucănd suspine....

Te invit la o cafea

Te invit la o cafea

Haide,vino,dragostea mea

Te invit la o cafea

Hai sa începem cu a ta.

 

Vreau doar puțin să savurez

Iar mai apoi chipul să-ți urmez

Că văd că te ai supărat

Că din cafea eu ți am luat.

 

Hei,cam are gust amar

Mai pune puțin zahăr,măcar

Mie îmi place puțin mai dulce

Că eu sunt o fată de zece.

Era o zi de toamnă!

Cred că visez sau poate nu

La anii ce repede-au trecut,

La amintirile din facultate

Unde pe tine te-am cunoscut

 

Era o zi de toamnă

Pe care n-o s-o uit,

Că mi-ai ieșit în cale

Și m-am îndrăgostit

 

Și greul a-nceput

Cum pot să-i spun,

Că inima îmi zice

Cu ea să mă cunun

 

Dar pân' la cununie

Era o cale lungă,

Întâi s-ajung la ea

Și nu cumva să fugă

 

Curaj eu mi-am făcut

Să o invit la o plimbare,

Și fără a primi răspuns

Șiret i-am oferit o floare

 

O văd cât s-a mirat

De îndrăzneala mea,

Și cum m-a refuzat

Și mi-a întins floarea

 

Pe loc m-am rușinat

Și scuze mi-am cerut,

Capul mi-am înclinat

În semn de bun salut

 

Atunci vă spun că am trăit

O foarte mare dezamăgire,

Și trist pe loc eu am simțit

Că totu-a fost doar amăgire

 

Dar cum pe lume este-o soartă

În care eu tot timpul am crezut,

Când s-a făcut anul de studiu

Noi împreună, în grupă, am căzut

 

De-aici n-au fost prea multe piedici

Până ce noi prieteni buni am devenit,

Și nici să facem vreun efort prea mare

Să ne trezim unul de altul..îndrăgostit

 

Anii s-au perindat cu multe încercări

Cu bune, rele, bucurii și chiar regrete,

Până ce anul cinci a dat verdictul

E timpul pentru voi...la verighete!

CELOR PLECAȚI

Trebuia să vă ajut ,

Dar atunci ,eu n-am putut.

Însă azi când a-și putra 

Ce nevoi  a-ți mai avea?

Doar ,două cruci ,din beton noi 

Cele vechi  rose-s de ploi,

Să răsădesc  flori pe mormânt 

Și să vorbesc cu voi în gând.

Я тебя забыл

В граните манящих глаз, ищу я надежду,
В глубинах серых зрачков я вижу невежду. 
Зеркалом тёплым сквозь холод гранита,
Я знаю, я вижу, надежда убита!

Согрей же меня улыбкой безбрежной, 
Любимой, родной, сладкой и нежной.
Я в ней утону как в парах Эндофрина, 
В горькой агонии белого дыма.

Ступенями в низ дождём уплывешь, 
Грусть разбитого сердца себе заберешь. 
Там где тёмные улицы мертвой мечты, 
Родиться новая жизнь, восскресшей души.

Semne

Aș vrea să-mi trimiți un semn,

Nu mare, doar cât o bătaie de inimă,

O privire pierdută pe furiș,

Un cuvânt uitat între rânduri.

 

Mi-ar fi de-ajuns o adiere,

Un sunet cald, abia șoptit,

Ce mi-ar spune că încă știm

Să fim noi, chiar și în tăceri.

 

Nu-i dor, nici regret, doar o sete

De a regăsi firul nescris

Din care am țesut povești cândva,

Cum aș vrea să ne mai vorbim.

Your smile, Our future

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.

Crivățul

Crivățul sufla-n obraz,

Tropăia ca un viteaz,

Împroșca din cer zăpadă,

Netezea polei pe stradă.

 

Țurțuri picura pe ramuri,

Picta flori pe geamuri,

Patina pe sloi de gheață,

Rătăcind prin ceață.

 

Prin troiene șerpuia,

Pe sub streașină vuia,

Se strecura prin balamale,

Spumegănd în jur rafale.

 

Noi ne chircim de la frigură,

Clănțănind din trăsătură,

Sub pătură ne pitulăm ,

La caniculă visăm..

Cartea,un dar neprețuit

O carte prăfuită,

În colț de etajeră 

De -o vreme cuibărită 

Șușotea din operă..

O rază de lumină 

Alunecă pe -o filă 

Și o privire senină 

Citi creația umilă.

Pulberea fu risipită 

Șlefuită cu migală,

Renăștea răsfoită,

Degajând sfială..

Cuprindea o lume 

Tainică, divină;

O stea fără nume

De glorie străină..

Respiră -n cuvinte,

Din metafore curgea,

Trezea simțăminte ,

Fiorii culegea...

Să fim împreună din nou...

La căpătâiul tău,bărbate 

Ore n șir nenumărate 

Vegheam nopți și zile,

Rătăcindu mi mințile  

Te zvărcoleai în așternut, 

Răzbit de cancerul temut,

Istovit de a i ține piept, 

Domnul meu,cel bun și drept. 

Te căzneai din răsputeri, 

Să nu mi divulgi căt suferi,

Ștergeai lacrima în taină 

Și o pitulai sub haină  .

Zâmbeai din colțul gurii,

Sfidănd chinul tumorii. 

Eu îți plângeam de milă,

Rugăciuni rosteam, umilă. 

Și te ai stins pe inserat;

Urlă marea,clopotele bat.. 

Eu mă târăsc prin amintiri 

Pustie n simțuri și trăiri  .

Ce rost am eu,fără tine, 

Să te urmez ar fi mai bine?..

Sa fim împreună din nou,

Mă bântuie al tău ecou;

Mă ntind in patul răvășit 

Să mi aștept al meu sfârșit  ..

Asfințitul

Pe pereți se scurg 

Stropii de amurg,

Luna strălucește 

Sub streașină clipește.

Pomii moțăiau,

În vânt se legănau.

Amorțit pământul 

Își reflecta veșmântul.

Soarele se stinge

Prin gene se prelinge 

Și negura se așterne,

Moleșeala cerne.

Prin frunzișul voalat 

Pasărea s -a pitulat ,

Amuțind din ciripit

Și clipoci pripit..

Doar liliecii forfoteau,

Întunecimea iscodeau,

Doar cucuveaua glăsuia,

Asfințitul bântuia...

Tată

Chipul tău nins 

De ridurile vremii

M a copleșit de plâns 

Pt trecutele decenii.

Ochii tăi blajini, 

Captivi în povestiri, 

Depănănd imagini, 

Curgeau în amintiri. 

Cu emoția culeasă 

De pe obrazul drag

Așterneai pe masă 

Pozele n șirag. 

Îmi lipsești enorm

În golurile ascunse;

Regretele discern 

Pt clipele apuse.

Tată, mâinile ți sărut, 

Ce au idem,iz de pâine, 

Adulmecăndu l din trecut, 

Ce I duc dorul azi și mâine...

Nu ma zori

De ce ma tulburi iar 

Si ma cauți in zadar?..

Nu mi esti sortit ci interzis 

Esti gândul meu proscris. 

Vrei sa fiu a ta din nou 

Si te repeți ca un ecou 

Imi smulgi inima din piept 

Chiar de I tabu, nedrept. 

Cum sa ți mai dau crezare 

Când ce ai făcut mai doare 

Si mi ai lăsat un gust amar 

Înecat într-un pahar. 

Promiți stelele si luna 

Si ma strigi într-una 

Zici ca ti e dor nebun 

De ce tac și nu te sun. 

Nu ma zori,da mi un răgaz..

Nu m avânt in extaz 

Sa ma frig mi e teamă 

Resimțind aceiași dramă...
