Doar ei!

Mi-ai furat tot,

Inima, gândurile,

Chiar și zilele.

Și acum ce urmează?

Aștept, aștept să faci un pas,

Un pas mic spre a mea inimă

Și să umpli golul din ea.

Aștept să lași ca sufletele noastre să se unească,

Să devină unul!

Esti langa mine,

Dar prea departe sa iti simt iubirea.

Si asteptarea doare, ma distruge,

Dar continui sa sper la o mica lumina la capat de drum

Desi drumul e mai lung cu cat merg mai repede pe el.

Imi simt inima cum se zdrobeste sub privirea ta rece, lipsita de sentimente

Si doare, doare ingrozitor de tare.

Sunt pierduta printre miile de fete

Care si au gasit a lor pereche

Asteptand ca tu sa fi cu mine.

Dar sa fie prea tarziu oare?

Sa iti fi gasit deja perechea,

Iar eu sa astept imposibilul?

Misterios apare, dar dispare!
Pare simplă, dar e grea!
Fericire îți aduce,
Dar printre lacrimi și amar!
Ne bucurăm de ea
Și mult o prețuim,
Dar nu e a noastră,
Ci doar un dar de la cel Divin!

În întuneric te-am găsit,
În întuneric te-am pierdut.
Sclipeai tare și mocnit
Când inima tu mi-ai rănit...

Voi uita tot, dar nu pe tine,
Căci totul a avut un început
Un final ce a durut,
Dar cu un scop neprevăzut.

Someone will love you,

But someone isn’t me

And that’s not a problem

If she loves you more than me

So, I wish

You can be her perfect man

And she will be the wife you wanted.

I wish I could forget you,

But my heart wants to see your smile

And hear you say:

“I love you”

So, I’m not sure if I can see my life without you

That’s why I want to be your best friend,

The shoulder you cry on

Or the person you laugh with on a rainy day...

Și uite-ne aici,

Fiecare cu ale lui probleme,

Căutând o scăpare din ele.

Eu te caut și mereu te găsesc,

Văzând în tine un sprijin,

O lumină de speranță.

Sinceră ți-am spus

Și uite-ne acum,

Tu ști ce vreau,

Eu știu că tu nu ești sigur încă

Și-mi promit că voi aștepta oricât e nevoie,

Deși nu văd nici o posibilitate de un NOI.

Îți promit că voi fi a ta prietenă, 

Că voi fi acolo când ai nevoie,

Chiar și când îți vei găsi sufletul pereche<3

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.

Tu te-ai uitat in ochii mei

Deci stii cu siguranta ce-ascund ei,

Cat oft ca nu te am , macar o clipa

Caci fiecare zi ce trece e-o ripisa…

Tu  te-ai uitat in ochii mei si -ai stat

Si -am inteles atunci ce-mi este dat,

Sa te tanjesc desi nu pot sa fac nimic,

Sa te visez, sa te sarut, sa te ating…

Tu te ai uitat in ochii mei si ai zis cu ei

Ca intr un vis, ca vrei

Si -am inteles ,

dar ce folos cand timpul strica?

Ma -ntreb de ce asa mereu

Cad mult, fara sa vreau , in fluturi

Ce snoaba inima sa am

Sau doar o fi pt a scrie randuri?

Sub tăcerea unui cer bătrân,

Unde stelele se nasc și pier,

Umbra nopții cade lin

Peste gândul meu stingher.

Vântul poartă dorul greu

Printre frunze rătăcite,

Și-n adâncul gândului meu

Se aprind lumi neștiute.

Luna tremură pe lac,

Ca un vis ce nu mai vine,

Iar pe ape, pas cu pas,

Trece umbra ta spre mine.

Dar tu ești ca o poveste

Ce-n vecii nu se sfârșește,

Ca o stea ce nu mai este

Și totuși în cer lucește.

Și mă-ntreb, privind în noapte,

Unde merg atâtea clipe,

Spre uitare, spre departe,

Ori spre veșnice risipe?

Căci iubirea-i doar o rază

Într-un univers pustiu,

Care arde și visează

Pentru-un suflet prea târziu.

Cum să nu te privesc cu uimire,

Când ești o rază sublimă

ce întrece lumina?

Și n-am cum să nu observ

Cum luminezi blând

în inima mea plină.

Chiar și-n tăcere, tu tot strălucești.

Și-atunci când cuvintele tale

nu vor să-mi vorbească,

Te simt ca un vuiet în toate gândurile mele,

Ca o prezență pe care sufletul meu

... o cunoaște.

Când umbrele cad și lumina se stinge,

Tu ești un zâmbet întâmplător,

plin de culoare,

Un dor ce răsună și-n lume,

Dar în mine

... răsună mai tare.

Ai aruncat un om cu tristeți,

Dându‑i o nouă șansă

Să te revadă în alte vieți,

Când viața părea a fi mai frumoasă.

Acum, orice drum e pustiu, fără a ta prezență.

Liniștea din sufletul meu va fi mereu absentă.

Pe nicio stradă, pe niciun drum nu voi mai ști nimic de tine.

Ai fost doar un vis frumos,

Ce nu am știut cât va ține.

Și iar mă trezesc cu tine-n gând 

Aș vrea să te sun,dar nu 

Nu am curaj să-ți spun

Că te iubesc și acum!

Îmi cer iertare pentru tot

Dacă te-am supărat!

Și vreau să-ți mai spun 

Că tu erai tot ce aveam!

Oare să-ți scriu undeva 

Să-ți spun tot ce simțeam când ai plecat 

Că plângeam neîncetat..

Îți mulțumesc că ai fost în viața mea!

Îți mulțumesc pentru cum te-ai comportat!

Îți mulțumesc pentru cât te-ai dedicat!

Îți mulțumesc pentru iubirea ta!

Îți mulțumesc pentru tot ce m-ai învățat!

Îți mulțumesc pentru răbdarea ta!❤️❤️
