Napoleon la Austerlitz

O! Tu, prea frumoasă lună.

Tot aștept ca soarele să apună.

Ca în fiecare seară să mă seduci.

Ca din nou la tine să mă aduci.

Superba mea, steauă a nordului,

Maestră a mărilor și a timpului.

Cu tine la spate, toate păcatele purtate,

Nu cântăresc nici jumătate.

Dar tu mi te arăți puțin câte puțin.

Uneori doar jumătăți obțin.

Iar alteori, doar sferturi.

De asta în fiecare dimineață, sper să uiți de ale noastre certuri.

Da, știu, că tu te îmbraci în nori,

Și până de înserare, tinzi să mă ignori.

Dar atunci când uit să te iubesc,

Te dezbraci și mă faci să mă înrobesc.

Numai la tine mă gândesc.

Ești cu adevărat un dar ceresc.

Pierdut într-o mare a uitării,

Tu ești farul pe care îl urmez în drumul salvării.

Lumina ochiilor tăi mă ghidează,

Și următoarea destinație mi-o fixează-

Chiar și atunci când absența ta mă îndepărtează.

Lună dragă, iubirea ta mă completează.

Ai vrea să îți mai citesc ceva?

Sau să ne mai întalnim pe undeva?

Vreau să îți vorbesc dar fără supărare...

... Eu pentru tine vreau să fiu mai mult decât un oarecare.

Vreau să îmi șoptești cu drag,

Lângă mine să pot să te trag.

Să mă joc cu părul tău fin,

Să îți sărut buzele moi când termin.

Mâinile pe al tău spate să le mișc ușor.

Iar când prea jos am să cobor, să mă împingi gentil cu un picior.

Vreau să îți aud râsul de fetiță,

Când îți gâdil corpul de zeiță.

Să îți văd privirea de femeie.

Și să simt acea scânteie...

Dar... Așa de mulți bărbați te vor.

Eu sunt un amărât de scriitor.

Ce mă face să cred că sunt mai mult decât un trecător?

Chiar dacă pentru mine timpul zboară,

Tu ești la fel de frumoasă ca odinioară.

Încă îmi zâmbești în timp ce îți cânt la vioară.

Acum, eu sunt bătrân și în păr gri apare.

Dar nu există motiv de îngrijorare.

Tu mereu mi-ai fost cea mai mare preocupare.

Obrajii tăi sunt de un roșu atât de puternic,

În timp ce eu încă mă întreb dacă sunt vrednic.

Aș fi vrut să îmi fi spus cu ce te luptai.

Eu te-am rugat doar să mai stai.

Dar tu mi-ai spus că nu puteai.

Pentru că nu poți să fi acolo pentru mine mereu.

Pentru că nu totul se învârte în jurul meu.

Că frumusețea ta nu poate fi doar a mea.

Te întreb: îți amintești când poezia mea te uimea?

Te îmbujorai și ochii îți lăcrimau neîncetat,

Acum,nici nu te-a mai emoționat.

O! Tu, prea frumoasă lună,

Astea sunt ultimele momente împreună.

Strălucește acum a mea femeie dragă,

Adu fericire în viața mea oloagă.

Atât de mare ești pe cer, înconjurată de ceață,

Dar chiar și așa îți văd în obraji roșeață.

Când inima în sfârșit mi se potolii,

Îmi întind mâna spre buzele tale rozalii.

Dar sărutându-mi mâna ușor îmi șoptești,

Încercând pentru ultima oară să mă liniștești.

" Pentru mine, încearcă să fi curajos,

Și într-un final, pune penița jos.

Povestea noastră se termină din nou.

Dar îmi e frică că ăsta va fi ultimul nostru tablou.

Soarele dintre nori are să răsară...

Iar dragostea noastră, pentru ultima dată, să moară..."

E întuneric și frig
Aș vrea să pot să te strig
Să îmi pui mâna pe spate
Să îmi spui că încă există o șansă, poate.

Dar sunt într-o buclă infinită,
În singurătatea mea nemărginită,
Într-o cameră mâhnită, ruginită
Într-un loc fără de reușită.

De la tine, tot aștept un mesaj
Poate că ar trebuii să îmi fac eu curaj
Dar mi-ai spus că s-a terminat
Că ce a fost între noi doi, s-a incheiat.

Mă tot aștept să văd notificarea
Dar știu că nimic nu îți poate schimba plecarea
Tot mă aștept ca tu să faci primul pas
Pentru că asta e tot ce mi-a rămas

Nu am să mă prefac
Deoarece, eu nu știu ce să fac
Au trecut doi ani, azi ar fii fost ziua noastră
Dar acum, mă uit singur pe fereastră.

Off doamne, 1 decembrie, ce mai zi ai mai ales
Dar știam că în istorie ai un interes
Ca principatele vroiai să ne unim
Și numai noi de fericire să știim.

Dar tu, mare cititor, mare privitor al tuturor poveștilor
Tu, trăitor al tuturor vieților, atotcunoscător al vremurilor.
Tu, această situație cum colorezi?
Tu ce vezi? Tu ce crezi?

The sun rises once more, on the dark Plutonian shore,  

Such is fate! Helen, Guinevere, Eurydice, Lenore.  

Before the expanse of time shall set and fall.  

Do we not need new muses, new passions of the heart?  

Let us find excitement in Babylon, Assyria, in Gaul...  

Exotic paint, strange backgrounds, awe inspiring art,  

Different sights, original notes drawn on the harp.  

Marvelous and strange phrases, glamorous verses that cut sharp.  

The thing of evil, the prophet, has flown off the Pallas bust, 

South of the Dardanelle's waters, only marred stone pillars, ruins and rust. 

The songs of Orpheus have grown mute and subdued. 

The Sibyl's prophecies have long been dimmed, forgotten.

The knights, flowers adorning their stone armour, upon fields are strewed. 

The stem of the everlasting rose, wilted and rotten,

Its treasure of colours faded and silent,

The petals, withered by a death too violent.

As the strings vibrate, shake their dust,  

To allow new sounds to appear, we must.  

A ceaseless cycle of our world that might one day end,  

The last speck of light will submit to the vastness of the dark. 

What words will we use then? When our will can only bend,  

To the will of the null, the vast expanse that used to mark...  

Our consciousness and our belief in a loving God,  

Haven't we been taught to peer past this façade? 

We raised glittering spires of golden onyx and marble.  

The monuments of our empire would never again lose their sparkle. 

For millennia we begged for our salvation,   

On our broken knees and bleeding elbows.  

We burned our children at the pyre for the cessation,    

Of the enmity that through the world silently rose,  

Still, not a weak murmur or a shaky voice could we discern. 

It's going to be a long time yet, before we finally learn...  

That our lord and savior has no other abject desire,  

But to stand, watch and play his magnificent lyre.  

Mercy, pity could never be afforded to such sordid creatures.  

But Lo! Rejoice! We were created in your image, 'lest we forget.  

Our anger, cruelty and lust are your best features.  

Why did you leave us? In this empty universe set?  

Oxygen, gravity and heat, all things are absent here, 

We built complex machines of iron and oil to mimic our lonely sphere. 

No borders now, for our unstoppable force, 

On the universe itself, our laws we shall forever enforce. 

Not questioning the way atoms or electrons move. 

But imposing our rules on every facet of existence, 

No being left to alter, nothing left to prove. 

The ability to go to any length, to any distance. 

All for a single perspective, one true aim. 

To fan the orange flame, impose our eternal claim. 

Glass domes and resplendent columns now adorn, 

Planets where man could never have imagined being born. 

Statues of jade crowd our artificial slate, hunting for design despite already being cognate. 

And yet, our essence doesn't feel entirely complete,  

A famine inside our psyche that we cannot sate.  

The all-devouring need for the new that conquers our conceit.  

New pleasures, abstract ways of intense feeling.  

Obscene intercourse and beautiful drama keep our life appealing.

Doesn't it all lie in a paradox? In this contradiction? 

We struggle for the impossible despite its constriction,

Yearn for the novel even if it's never enough.

Distraught when west impetuously becomes east,

Yet mortified, when time forgoes its ancient rebuff.

A curse from which we shall never be released.

We are Adam's children, his feather is our plume.

...Eritis sicut deus scientes bonum et malum... 

Singur din nou, tot ce a rămas din tine e un ecou.

De ce pleci? De ce tot pleci? De ce vrei să mă seci?

Acum, nu pot să uit de tine nici înzeci, nici în nouăzeci nici în parseci...

De talie vreau să te iau din nou, să îți fiu din nou erou.

Te iubesc, îmi făceai zilele mai line, mă țineai și pe mine mai pe șine.

Dar tu vii și pleci, uneori mă tratezi cum îi tratau grecii pe meteci.

Alteori, ca cel mai mare dintre regi, vreau doar să alegi.

Eu simt că avem aceleași destine și nu vreau ca așa să se termine.

Toate sentimentele mă zăpăcesc.

Dar uit de lume când te privesc.

Nimic altceva nu există atunci când îți vorbesc.

Universul e mai calm când îți citesc.

Singur, nu sunt sigur dacă și mai matur pentru că tot nu pot să mă înlătur...

De tine...de tine, Maria, cum pot să uit, cum pot să mă bucur?

Vreau să te înjur și situația tot încerc să o îndur.

...dar tremur, îmi e frică pentru că mintea mi se strică...mă lași fără contur...

Stai! Nu pleca, nu vreau să te pierd, vreau să te dezmierd, să dansăm...

În brațele celuilalt să mai stăm, o discuție să mai purtăm.

Să nu ne lăsăm, pe Doga sau pe Chopin să mai valsăm.

Pentru că atunci când cu tine mă găsesc, toate dorințele mele se îndeplinesc

Iar atunci când ale noastre trupuri se unesc, sunt sigur că lângă tine vreau să îmbătrânesc.

Dar știu că într-o dimineață, o să te văd zâmbăreață.

Că o să te țin de mână și că nu o să îți mai dau drumul o săptămână.

Știu că ești citeață și atât de măreață dar te rog, de mine nu uita, în palatul tău de gheață.

Te iubesc, Marii și chiar dacă mă transformă în țărână...sentimentele mele o să rămână.

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.

My friend irina

She smiles

She’s ok

She encourages

She dreams

She is always there for me

She gives a hug im all ok

She says she’s fine,they’ll believe the lie

But i see behind that fake smile

That fake “im fine” that she usually says

From a mile i can see her tears imprinted on her face

From a mile i can see the scars on her tired forearms

She says she’s fine

But she hurts herself,with words and blades

With pills and fake affirmations about herself

I try to help,i try to smile,just for her

Not anybody else

I see her puffy eyes when everyone just says good bye

I stay by her side all the time,hopping she will open up

But im just there

A burden on her back

She says she doesn’t mind that

But she has a lot on her beautiful mind

My friend irina

She cries

She screams

She cuts

She dreams

I wasn’t there when she tried to take her life

But i was there when her heart broke into millions of pieces

I gathered them all in one

Replaced it with all i had

Hopping she ‘ll go back

To being fine and all that

My friend irina

Everyone just sees a girl

With eyes and lips and thighs

I see a strong women fighting for her life

With tired brown eyes,like the hot chocolate on a chilly  night

With her curly hair like the waves of the ocean on a breezy night

With her broken smile that she gives me when im not alright

With the clothes she wears to cover up her past

A girl like her you’ll never find

She’s unique and kind

Broken at the same time

Trying to glue her back

Im losing her  just like that

Everyone just says she’s fine

But i see behind all that

They found out about her past

The scars on her arms

That’s all they see

Her past

Her “mistakes”

She overthinks over stupid airheads

About everything she has

She changed

She changed a lot

Into good into bad

People don’t care

They don’t see her for who she is but only for her mistakes

They judge

They laugh

They make “funny” jokes about all that

They say things they should  not

I try to erase everything they said

But its set in her mind

The words are making her go mad

I try to change her mind

Before she takes what she has

I try to stay calm,when im freaking out

I try to say its fine when she freaks out

I say it will be alright

But all she does is say “im fine”

You’re not

You’re sad,and mad

Happy and glad

You tend to be there for everyone when you’re falling apart

My friend irina

She says she’s fine

She says she won’t do it again

She makes promises to herself the others might brake

She stays true to her mind but lies to her heart

Im here for her but she is not here with me

Im here for her but she disappears

She takes refuge in her mind

Thinking its safer that real life

Im trying to wake her up

Im trying to make her stay

Im stealing her bad thoughts away

Hoping it will make a change

But they multiply by the day

Making her want to go away

What should i do

Say goodbye or fight for her life

I tend to smile all the time

When people are around

So they thing she is better now

But when there’s only the two of us

The bridges fall down

She tells me her worries but not fully

She tells me i didn’t do anything but the truth is ,it’s all my fault

Hopefully she will be fine

She will win this battle with her mind

I’ll be the shoulder that she can cry on but also the soldier fighting for her  life

I’ll be there

With my whole mind

I’ll be right there behind

Always ready to fight back

Im here

I’ll always be here

My friend irina

She smiles but if i don’t do anything i will lose her like she lost her mind,i won’t let that happen ,i will be on watch all the time

Don’t worry

We’ll fight together

For the rest of my life

That’s my friend Irina

She is truly the best

That’s why

She has to stay

Totul a-nceput..plăpând

În doi şi doi de zero şi un trei

Trecut-au anii, cei mai cei

Golind din noi, noi idealuri si idei

În aprigi ani ce-au tot venit

Noi, unici, vii, măreți copii

Am tot crescut, am şlefuit

Mărețe visuri de argint

Am tot sperat, am tot trudit

Să prindem 20 la Q***, ca mit

Quidditatea ne-a unit

Uitat-am că ne-am despărțit

Fost-am noi văzuți ca slujitori ififlii?

Dar hotărâți în verbul "a munci"?

Sau pricepuți a şlefui, a măiestrii

Estetice şi meritorii, mici şi mari

Repere mii şi mii..şi mii?!

Un răsărit de-acum apus

Din când în când se reaprinde

Ne întâlnim să ne expunem

Simbolice de-acum, trăiri profunde

Pe întâiul celui nou Septembrie..

Din nou, cu toți, pe toate le-om aduce

Vom respira sublim un aer nou, 

De vechi, dar unic Q***, pe buze

* ififliu = lefter

*quidditate = ansamblul factorilor care condiționează sau determină esența unui lucru

*** - contine nume cu caracter juridic , de aceea, numele nu poate fi facut public. Aceasta poezie este scrisa la cerinta unui grup care au lucrat si lucreaza la Q*** in semn de amintire la implinirea a 20 de ani de la infiintare. 

Marius Ene, Elblag, Polonia, 22.06.2023, 13:20

Cu 13 cărți la început,
Un coleg să plângă a început.

"E nebună!" mulți au crezut.
(probabil)
Dar niciunul nu a avut dreptate,

Ea are atâta bunătate,
Că de atâtea ori ne-a ajutat,
Să trecem peste greutate
Cu o profesoară ca ea,
Domnul ne-a binecuvântat.

Ea e profesoara mea.
Ca ea, alta nu mai e.

O, Asphodelus, floarea morții,

Câte regrete te urmează? 

Ești ultima în jocul sorții,

Dar asta nu te întristează.

Ți-ai găsit slabă pe câmpia 

Cu suflete nenumărate,

A căror minte e pustie,

Iar inima - îndurerată.

Cine sunt părinții Cine sunt părinții? Sunt acei care m-au adus pe lume, M-au învăţat carte, mi-au dat un nume. Cine sunt părinții? Sunt acei care mi-au dat povață, Să fiu om bun și să merg cu capul sus prin viață. Cine sunt părinții? Sunt mai sfinți decât sfinţii O icoană cu chipul lui Dumnezeu. Care o voi purta în inimă mereu! Cine sunt părinții? Sunt ca luceafărul de pe cer. Ei m -au învățat să iubesc, să lupt și să sper! Poezie de Vladimir Potlog
