A ta iubire

Mămica mea cu zâmbetul duios si bland 

Ce-ascunde o voce caldă si placută

Încă de mică de mine stiută ...

A trecut timpul draga mea mamică

Tu îmbătrânești iar eu la rândul meu

Am ajuns unde mi-am propus mereu...

Să am familie, soț chiar și copii

Ce-mi aduc mii si mii de bucurii

Atunci când ii văd crescând  zi de zi...

O ,mama mea îți mulțumesc eu ție 

Că m-ai crescut doar bine să îmi fie 

Și am ajuns azi mulțumită tie .

Cand greul ma apasa-n noapte

Si gandurile mele printre soapte 

Imi spun adesea la culcare 

Ca inima in piept de dor tresare

Un dor nebun , un dor de altadata 

Ce-mi canta zi de zi in soapta 

Caci numai ieri eram ingandurata 

Astazi ma simt mai mult ca niciodata ...

Inima mea inca mai asteapta 

Sa vi sa vezi cum sufletul mi e trist 

Asa cum dorul meu de tine ma cuprins

Caci te-am zarit azi noapte intr-un vis ...

O suflet bun , cald ,iubitor 

 Ce imi spuneai adesea somn usor 

Acum n-aud decat ganduri cum cad in gol

Despre iubirea ce ti-o port pe interior...

Inimă oprește-te 

Că - mi oferi neliniște 

Inimă tu fi mai tare 

Stiu că înăuntru doare 

Inimă tu stii mai bine

Când nu loc pentru  tine 

Lasă inimă, să treacă

Nu te mai gândi oleacă...

Ai te rog un pic răbdare 

Și-ai să vezi cu nepasare

Cum se abate asupra ta 

Toată nelinistea mea .

Stau si privesc pe geam afară 

În mâna cu o cafea amară

Așa cum beam odinioară

Pe scaunul din gară .

Îmi vin în minte amintiri 

Pline de multe împliniri

Așa credeam cândva că este 

O dragoste ca în poveste ...

Dar totusi timplu ne-a schimbat

Dragostea a incetat 

Iar clipele ce va sa vină

Sunt goale până la ruină 

Îmi amintesc ceva frumos

Când ne plimbam în parc pe jos

Fară ca să ne pese nouă 

Ca stă să ningă sau să plouă...

Cum e toamna ruginie

Asa suflet am si eu 

Caci nu te mai am in fata 

Cum te aveam  in fiecare dimineata 

Să simt caldura ta in ale mele brate

Iar chipul tau frumos sa ma priveasca

Cu-n zambet cald ,placut si dulce

Ce-n inima caldura imi aduce.

Dar din pacate , toate acestea nu mai sunt

Iar sufletul meu e trist si ratacit 

La fel precum plutesc frunzele in vant

Imi pierd speranta ca-o sa mai te vad râzand 

Iar timpul n-o sa vindece curand

Tot ceea ce simt eu cand te am la mine  in gand....

Vai, cata greutate am suportat!

Am inghitit si apa, am rezistat.

Mereu pe fata mea ai tot calcat

Si niciodata nu m-am suparat.

Acum, eu sunt afara inghetat.

Tu calci pe mine mereu si ne-ncetat;

Nu simti durerea care ma apasa,

Treci peste mine si intri-n casa.

Simt caldura cum vine pe sub usa;

Ma simt bucuros, ca o matusa

Cand copiii se zbenguie in casa

Si de griji nicidecum nu le pasa.

M-ai lovit si m-ai strivit de multe ori,

Iar usa, de cate ori mi-a dat fiori!

Cand nu se inchide, se impotriveste

Si de fiecare data ma zdreleste.

Greu tu tragi usa ca sa se inchida.

Vezi cum eu de multa apa m-am umflat,

Nu gandesti, dar uita-te in oglinda.

Te infurii si tot tragi neincetat.

Vai cate greutate am suportat!

Am inghitit si apa, am rezistat.

Dar pentru ce atat’ sa mai support?

Vine o vreme cand spui;” Nu mai pot!”

Asa ca eu va spun la toti acum;

“Fiti rezistenti si mereu un prag bun.

Nu cedati la frig si umezeala,

Stapanul pentru toti are-o socoteala”.

Vai, ce frig mi-e jumatatea de afara!

Cand in iarna grea gerul ma doboara.

Jumatatea mea din casa-mi spune:

“Stai linistit ca esti pe maini bune”

Cred că noi suntem între vis și realitate,

Prinși într-o clipă de veșnicie din stele.

Dacă mă simți cum te caut în fiecare noapte,

Să știi că te-am numit și te-am scris pe fiecare din ele.

Uneia i-am pus numele tău,

Să știe să te recunoască drept stea.

Alteia i-am șoptit cât de mult îmi lipsești,

Să te viseze și ea.

O stea căzătoare știe cât de frumos zâmbești,

Și astfel, când pică de pe cer, zâmbește și ea.

Alta a aflat cât de mult te iubesc,

Și acum te iubește și ea!

O stea îți luminează noaptea cu foc,

O stea îți împletește mărgele,

Eu mă întreb ce faci și îți scriu,

Alături de stele!

Visele stinse plecă-n zbor din realitate

Caută nopțile șoptind cuvinte vii

Umblă rănite ascunzând sinceritate

Lăsând tristețea înecându-se-n beții

Orele curg înșiruind secunde moarte

Ceasul zorește numărând zile pustii

Verile pleacă strămutându-se departe

Hâdă  tristețea scuturând zăpezi târzii

Soarele fuge aruncând lumini uscate

Orbește zările privirilor zglobii

Întunecând tote culorile pictate

Transformă purpura tristeții în stihii

Frunzele cad dezvăluind patimi speriate

Se-așează lespede vopsite ruginii

Astupă florile strivite și-ngropate

Plânge tristețea cu petale argintii

Palmele ard incendiind lacrimi semnate

Mângâie cerul amintirilor vâslind

Despică norii vălurind tăceri private

Întinde negura tristeții răscolid

Urmele dor mărturisind cărări voalate

Rănește zborul sub copite umilind

Strivite aripi ofilindu-se tăiate

Plutește liberă tristețea rătăcind

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.

Sunt acolo când te naști,
Sunt acolo în prima zi de școală,
Sunt acolo când termini școala,
Sunt acolo când pleci din gară,
Sunt acolo în ziua cea mare,
Sunt acolo după un an, după zece ani,
Sunt acolo la primul nepot

Și te asigură mereu că te vor iubi necondiționat!

Îmi place forma ta, femeie, şi gustul şi mirosul tău.

Te port în gând, te năzuiesc...

Mă urmăreşti ca o himeră,

Când nu eşti tu, eu tot cu tine sunt.

Ți-am conturat din spate silueta,

Căzută-n rugăciune, pe genunchi.

Ṣi te imprim în inimă ca o icoană,

Salvată într-o colecție de dulci minuni.

Buzele-ți moi m-au ars cu pasiunea

Unui ospăț de simțuri şi trăiri.

Setea mi-ai stins în galeşe priviri,

In suflet mi-ai hrănit chiar nemurirea.

În preajma ta adie în arome primăvara,

Ca-ntr-un buchet de frezii, irişi şi zambile.

Mă farmeci volatil cu note de iubire,

Până adânc în piept îți simt suflarea.

Îmi place forma ta, femeie, şi gustul şi mirosul tău pe mine.

Eşti una de ajuns pentru o mie

de mântuiri si nemuriri şi vis.

Şi de n-ai fi, eu n-aş mai fi...

cu tine.
