Rugaciunea dragostei

Dacă vrei să-ți scriu declarații de dragoste,

Ți-am scris acum deja!

Doar ți-am spus că dragostea adevărată,

N-are opriri nici minciuni nici promisiuni deșarte,

Are doar dragoste maxim distilată,

Este de esență tare,

Ne are pe noi îndrăgostiți zi de zi,

Până când recea moarte ne v-a despărți...

Nu,nu-s minciuni...

Dacă vrei să-ți scriu declarații de dragoste,

Ți-am scris acum deja,

Dar și atunci când

Ți-am spus că vreau să-ți sărut tălpile goale,

Când te usturau în excursia de la Busteni...

Iar tu mi-ai raspuns,de ce nu!

Dacă vrei,dacă vreau,dacă vrem..

Nu-mi amintesc în viața asta

Nimic frumos deasupra ta,

Nici vreo iubire sau vreun amor

să strălucească,

Așa cum tu ai strălucit!

Frumoasă ești, fermecatoare

Precum doar în povești sunt zânele,

Acum pot spune că prin tine,

Eu muritorul,am primit

Ceva ce-mi este mult deasupra

Și fericirea dar și zâna mea !

Te voi iubi clipă de clipă,

Cu siguranță așa va fi

Căci nu-i pe lume o iubită

Așa frumoasă, delicată sau plină de lumină,

Cum ești, ai fost cu siguranță vei mai fi!

Libertatea este Însuși Dumnezeu,

Chiar dacă nimeni nu știe cine este Acesta...

Credința este libertatea ta de a-ți închipui ce vrei!

Voința este libertatea de a crede,

De a nu renunța ușor,

Iar Dumnezeu este partenerul tău nemuritor!

Cine crede în Dumnezeu nu-i niciodată singur,

Chiar aflându-se în cea mai aspră singuratate...

Renegat,uitat,alungat!

Desigur,credința poate fi oarbă,

Este o metaforă doar!

Oamenii sunt orbi în realitate,

Le cercetează pe toate,

Văd doar ce se poate,

Chiar dacă au primit ochi

Ce-i poartă de formă!

Să respirăm iubirea împreună

Îmbrățișați stând cât pentru veșnicie,

Tu mă respiri pe mine când expir,

Eu respirându-te pe tine când expiri,

Așa lăsăm iubirea să ne patrundă

În sânge sau în oase și în gând,

Căci dragostea este chiar viața ce respiră,

Atunci când îți declar că te iubesc fără oprire,

Iar tu îmi spui că mă iubești etern...

Nu-i dragostea opusul morții care tace rece,

Nu noi suntem prezentul care face viața să respire?

Tu mă respiri pe mine când expir,

Eu respirându-te pe tine când expiri,

Așa lăsăm iubirea să ne patrundă

În sânge sau în oase și în gând!

Un alt te iubesc este acelasi te iubesc

Pe care-l nu-l folosesc oamenii de rând...

Eu ți-l pictez și înainte să ti-l trimit îl sărut

Tu să primești nu un te iubesc ci un sărut,

Care este altfel decât au oamenii de rând.

Noi nu suntem acei oameni care se despart

Uitând magia primului lor sărut,

Noi suntem veșnic al nostru nemuritor sărut,

Tu ești sărutul meu

Eu sunt sărutul tău

Cine vreodată o să poată să ne despartă?!

De n-ai știut iubita mea

Cum ne-au străpuns săgețile lui Cupidon,

Povestea lui Amor se pare că-i asemenea lui Eros,

Și toată taina iubirii ce ne-a cuprins

Pe mine mai întâi apoi pe amândoi,

Desigur și pe tine,

Pare un vis trimis de zei să ne iubim!

E dragostea destinul unor oameni obișnuiți ca noi?

Ori noi bieți muritori înflăcărați și îmbătați de-a lui Amor licoare,

Am devenit niște mici zei

Cuprinși de o iubire așa mare?

Ce mai contează acum acestea toate,

Ce-mi par mărunte pe lângă o dragoste ce crește cât un munte,

Căci clipele frumoase de iubire

Ce-am trăit sau cele ce încă nu-s venite,

Nu se aseamănă cu mai nimic

Din cele povestite!

Dacă te-aș iubi o noapte, 

Mi-ai aduce luna de pe cer

Sau m-ai lăsa stând acolo, 

Cu inima înghețată de ger. 

Azi, iubito vreau să ne-amintim

De vremuri și tinerețea noastră,

Și cum timid eu mâna ți-am cerut

Iar ei în cor zicând..casă de piatră

S-a întâmplat acum mult timp

Când inima ți-am dat-o ție,

Și n-am avut nicio-ndoială

Știind că tu-mi vei fi soție

Dar nu doar eu am dăruit

Și tu mi-ai dat iubirea pură,

Și din jumăți a fost întregul

Uniți pe veci prin semnătură

Gândul m-a dus înspre Copou

Către aleea cu teii plini de flori,

Pe care ne plimbam îmbrățișați

Pătrunși de-al dragostei fiori

Și cum să mergem în altă parte

Că doar aici a început povestea,

Pe care niciodată n-am s-o uit

Și unde inima a rezonat cu mintea

Din Piatra am plecat spre Iași

Către orașul celor șapte coline,

Am mers pe-alei și-am discutat

Despre trecut, prezent și mâine

Pe unde am călcat era schimbarea

Atâtor ani ce i-am lăsat în spate,

Și doar cărarea a rămas la locul ei

Drumul iubirii, cantină...facultate

Înfometați dar plini de amintiri

Ne-am îndreptat spre un local,

Soția comandând doar o salată

Iar eu flămând, friptură de batal

Când luna a strălucit în noapte

Și raza ei calea ne-a luminat,

La pas ne-am dus către cazare

Simțind că-s omul...binecuvântat!

Și oare ce ar mai fi de spus?

În seara cu vânt liniștit,

Același soare, alt apus,

Pălește-n cuvânt nerostit.

Și oare ce ar mai fi de spus?

Cuvântul meu stă pironit,

De pereții minții este dus,

În haosul tăcerii-i izgonit.

Pare că n-ar mai fi nimic de spus,

Doar sufletul speră smerit,

Ca o să răsufle un răspuns,

Glasul iubirii- căci el n-a pierit!

Daca cineva m-ar întreba acum 

Ce înseamnă iubirea? 

I-aș răspunde scurt și tare:

TU îmi ești iubirea. 

Daca cineva m-ar întreba acum

Ce contează pentru tine? 

I-aș răspunde scurt și tare:

TU îmi ești liniștea.

Dacă cineva m-ar întreba acum

Ce e mai frumos pe lume? 

I-aș răspunde scurt și tare:

TU îmi ești frumusețea.

Dacă cineva m-ar întreba acum 

În ce îți vezi fericirea? 

I-aș răspunde scurt și tare:

TU îmi ești fericirea.

Dacă cineva m-ar întreba acum 

Ce înseamnă pentru tine acasă?

I-aș răspunde scurt și tare:

TU îmi ești casa sufletului.

Dacă cineva m-ar întreba acum 

Ce te face mai complet?

I-aș răspunde scurt și tare:

TU mă completezi perfect.

Însă nimeni nu mă întreabă 

Căci tot ce pentru mine contează

Ai să rămâi mereu doar TU.

Buchetul tău de roze mov,

Ce trandafirul l-a jertfit,

Cules ți-a fost din vechi ostrov,

Buchetul tău de roze mov.

Și-ți va rămâne în alcov

Ca-nsemn al timpului iubit:

Buchetul tău de roze mov,

Ce trandafirul l-a jertfit.

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.
