There's no one



There's nobody here to send away those clouds
To bring me back those dreams so blue
With big strong wings to fly me over crowds
Of white pure birds reminding me of you

And there is no one here to stop the rain
And my blind thoughts to gather back to me
From the abyss where nothing shall remain
To drown them in water...to set me free


There's nobody to slow down that strong wind
To take away to places far from here
All I did wrong, the moments I have sinned
The words that hurt everyone that came near

There's no one now to bring them back to me
My dreams, my music, my sweet light
And throw away my guilt and see
That love will be to me for ever bright.

*A translation of a poem that Carmen posted today and that i like very much.
Here it is : "Si nu e nimeni"

I can't...



I can't explain the fact
That I love you so much
If every time I act
You remain out of touch

I can't explain the way
You steal my every word
And when you look away
I'm lost...just like a bird

I can't explain the reason
For why you are that way
And still, just like the season
You take my breath away

I need an explanation
I need to be set free
I need my destination
All I want is to see

War



It's war here on earth and same in the sky
For angels fell down and demons rose high
Amongst us humans they now walk this earth
You might just see them for what it's all worth

With those big black eyes he looks down at you
You look back at him and hope it's not true
But he is a demon...That no one denies
Imagine the pain that went through those eyes

She smiles down at you as she touches the ground
Those white angel wings didn't make a sound
You smile back at her, amazed by her shine
But stop there and think...what do her wings hide

So there you sit still, between heaven and hell
But which do you choose for all to end well?
Do you choose heaven up in the skies
When hell is on earth our entire lives?

No matter who wins the ending's the same
Angels and demons...they all are to blame.
An angel lost wings, a demon his heart
'Cause this is a war and we all take part.

It's You



It's just like music to my ears
So pure...so gentle...so profound
Such beauty soaks my eyes in tears
It is truly that perfect sound

It's blood pulsing my every vain
It's what makes my heart go insane
It's what my life is all about
It's every word that I let out

It's spring and winter all in one
It's not a shade of white, nor green
Not even something in between
A color witnessed by no one

It's every time I close my eyes...
There's one image that never dies
That image I'll never forget
And at all times it's in my head

It's every lyric that I write
It's every time I see the light
It's every beating of my heart
It's every day about to start

It's YOU...

*
Again...and again...and again...she does it every time...and I am left speechless once more.
So....I'll put it as simple as I can.
Carmen is no less then a genius, an artist, a great doctor... a little bit of everything :P
This is it : "Eşti tu".

Starless Soul


From time to time, you come my way
Just like a storm that's striking loud
Breaking my wings, unleashing every cloud
Into my soul, taking my star away

And then, when my mind shall go cold
And when my soul is only a dark hole
When words have no meaning at all
I'll ask myself: "Do I still walk this world?"

If one pale smile I see somewhere out there
My lonely star of hope shall shine once more
On the horizon... lighting up the air...
For me to gather back my shattered soul

On my pale face you can still see a tear
Dried up by the last smile I've shown
And in it, the reflection of a face alone
That I've kept hidden in my mind with fear

And then, once more, the storm strikes loud
Remember those flights that fell without a sound
Those broken wings and I'd forget them all
I wish I had my star back...back into my soul

Carmen has always been a huge support and big inspiration for me since I started publishing my poems.
Even more, I had the amazing honor of her having translated two of my poems into Romanian, which meant a lot for me.
Today she published "Suflet fara stea", a poem that I imediatly fell in love with.
I tried translating it into English and hope I didn't destroy it's beauty.
To Carmen... hope you like it:)

One kiss



She said that she's going away...
How could I convince her to stay?
For all I want's a little kiss
From that sweet girl I'll always miss

One kiss...

Like Samson loved Delilah,
Naveen loved his princess
I'll love that little angel
More then you'd ever guess

So yes... one kiss does matter
'Cause thinking of that kiss
Whatever I encounter
I'm never gonna miss

What could I do? What should I say?
So that she'll never go away
For all I want's a little kiss
From that sweet girl I'll always miss

Only one kiss...

The mirror


"Mirror mirror on the wall
What's for me in this big world?"
Asked the sweet princess one day
As she glanced the mirror's way.

But she didn't get her answer
Even though the mirror knew
So she stepped a little closer
Still not knowing what to do

There she saw him lying down
On the bench under a tree
In his hand holding a crown
That would fit her perfectly

She leaned forward towards the mirror
Wiped the dust off and then kissed it
Under her the stairs would shiver
Running down to meet her prince


There, under the tree, she saw him
Just as the good mirror said
Sitting on the bench and waiting
Holding the crown in his hand

Stop one day and take some time
To look closely in the mirror
You may get a chance see her
And once more admire her shine

Never love




Never knew, never asked, never cared
Never thought that one day y'on't be there
Now I know, like a child, you got scared
Now I know that true love you can't bare

Can I hate that I love you so much
Now that you, baby, are out of touch?
No one here understands how can I
See the stars when I look in your eye

Baby love, now believe me, I know
To be loved there's a long way to go
Reach the stars now I can't, without you
Please come back in my arms. I'm a fool!

Never asked , never cared, never knew
What happened, what went wrong, was it you?
Was it me?....has to be! I don't know
So I' m here lying dead on the snow.

It was love.
Never less, nevermore.

*One of my first poems. Wrote it in 2007. Thought I had lost it.
Have to thank my English teacher for finding it back and much more...

*If this poem is as beautiful as some said....her version is even better:D
Never love translated in Romanian, by Carmen :)

Doar iubire a fost... Şi atât

Our song

In time I'll figure out what's wrong
Which is the key that ends our song
And then I'll finally move on
Starting a new one once you're gone

The one song that was meant to be
A lullaby for you and me
Became a ballad for the ones
That lived the same story as us

Our song is not what it should be
It's not what any eye can see
It's not what any ear can hear
Not even I believe it's clear

It can be love to someone's eyes
While someone else only sees lies
It can be music to one's soul
And noise to he who doesn't know

Our song...is not just any song
We've dreamed of it for so so long
Our song is just how it should be
What only you and I can see

*
Recently I had the incredible honor of having this poem translated into romanian by Carmen, a talented writer that I admire very much. In my opinion, it came out perfectly. Don't know now which one of them I like more.
So this is her version of "Our song", named "Cantecul nostru".
Carmen... thank you...it's ....wow :X....speechless

Seven days


I went to visit Zeus one day
Just hoping that he knows a way
For one like me to find himself again
So from Olymphia my long journey began

Next stop was at his daughter, Artemys
Her temple rising high above the trees
If anyone could know the way, it's her
For I am lost, my road's no longer sure

In time the pyramids will show
The path to where I have to go
They're pointing south along the line
That Cheops drew for me to find

My journey leads to Babylon
But now the gardens are all gone
The hanging plains the emperor built
Faded away... unlike my guilt

My soul is to be buried underground
My own mausoleum I have found
And just like Mausolus loved his wife
My love for Her will last more than this life

From here my compass leads me over sea
Behind me, standing high, Helios sleeps
The huge colossus points to what shall be
The path for me to follow...gave me creeps

At last... I see the light that's in my dreams
The tall construction that guides all our ships
The isle of Alexandria... or so it seems
The final destination of our trips

My journey took no more than seven days
But still I haven't found that holly place
If seven wonders of the world won't help
Then I am lost... I'll never find myself

* She never seizes to amaze me with her talent, her kind heart and that ability to see my poems the same as me.
Earlier on, Carmen translated "Our song" into Romanian, which I like very much.
Today she showed me the romanian version of this poem.
This is it : "Şapte zile". I say it's amazing.
Thank you, once more, Carmen.
It's an incredible honor for me.
