WHETHER I WAS OR NOT, I AM
I was a butterfly
On an acacia flower
And the acacia flower
Never picked
I was a breeze
And the rustle
In the branches of
A leafy ash
I was an ant
Marching in row
While I was there
Going ... I know
Whether I was or not
Swan or peacock
With my eager eyes
I look for an answer
I tear away sparkles
From my eyes
And then
From his ...
In the night
games
To survive
The day ...
Whether I was ... or not
I am the one
Who disturb
A sleep
Still!

DIVINO-HUMAN ECSTASY WHEN I LEAVE THIS WORLD,
SHALL I LOOK BACK?
Some say Eros … others, wine
To satiate that eternal thirst
When I leave
Yet, getting lost in your cosmic hug, This world,
My-very-self is no more mine. Shall I look back
To see how
Love has been
@George Onsy, Egypt The daily martyr
Of the devouring hate
Everywhere.
However,
Love always promises
To exist,
To survive,
To resurrect
In every now and then
In every here and there.

ELUSIVE TARGET IN THE LAP OVERFALL OF MUZE
Steel lady with her appearance In your lap the river is rising
Completely woven The empty bed with live coal fills
By transparent silk Desires in them spawns
And distant yearning Erotic passions awaken
A colorful butterfly is watching the night Hush keep silent don't speak
Rambler of unsung song Keep your eyes open hands lips ...
In the night without moon Howling bosom reveal
The firefly cuts the dark of the night The spark of fire challenge
I follow the trail of fingers Stirrup the fire the fireplace heats
Remained on the skin of memories Winter night with the softness of the fingers
Strangle in hug Removes the veil of secrets
Unmerciful solitude
Hungry thoughts feed
Foot prints remained in the soul In the lap owerfall of muze
The wind doesn't take away

ARM TEARS
The rain was falling. Sea is the first
I took your cold arm in my. what I was saw.
We cross all steps behinde us... That deep water.
And we just look each other Deep mystery
in the eyse... where we lost
There were fear of begining new life our youngest days
just as we put roots in the of lives.
wet ground of last autumn Where was lost
when we said no to the past. many before us...
We did and we are doing
Live forever is not point the best what we know
litlle child dream. when we drop tears
That was hunger and desier in his soul...
When we put flowers
of empti soul you my boy
for dear lost people
with nothing what draw
long time in the past.
white snow
I dream a dream
in the summer time.
When I was child
Pease! That is our destination
when I put my foot
in some forgotten port
In the sea with out fear
with out boat...
in which time that
There we'll stay …
was lost? Which time, last...
as long, as we need
to be a free from everyone
Sea is the first
who divide our wish
what I seen
in little part of love
It will be last
to be loved.

SAME TIME NEXT YEAR TOUCH
In autumn when the leaves have fallen,
When you held my hand in yours,
Let's meet with our hearts open,
First touch was a fumbling search,
Like strangers of coloured season,
Of intimacy unknown to the cores,
Mature and polite beyond reason.
Intimately our hearts joined in a bunch.
The dark memories all broken,
Your touch ignited a light,
Fragments of goodwill as a token,
My darkest days became bright,
Embrace each other's imperfections,
Love in places I never knew,
Accept each other with dedication.
Boundless joys forever true.
Years without each other was a lesson,
Touch of hope in foul weather,
Love dwells in every season,
Firmly held me together,
Spring comes after every Winter,
Caressing each hurt whenever,
Frost or hail the Sun is not bitter.
In despair I fell as broken feather.
Leaves scattered make things clear,
Your touch kept me stable,
As we will meet same time next year,
Undying loyalty kept a balance,
Count our blessings to appreciate,
Pouring kind drizzles in silence,
Smile together wisely to celebrate.
Engraved in my heart indelible.
Touch of trust kept me going,
@Jyotirmaya Thakur, U.K.
Pearls of strength enshrining,
A love of eternal Spring rising,
A bond of grace everlasting.

The young moon Scents dancing in the evening
Will connect us Clouds are in love
Like a ribbon lace Some strange stars are born
It will cut the distance Sleepy river caresses its shores
In its roots
Drunk by the light of your soul
The sky will open I fly over the world
With solemnity Like flowers tender petals
Love is just a drop On Spring wind
Of eternity
And light I love this magic day
Even if you are just
I love my heart A vision in me
Big as immensity
In it you will @Matilda Jankovic, Serbia

THE TIME I DON'T HAVE TEMPO CHE NON HO…
I don't have time... Tempo non ho…
It would be perfect
to slip thru walls and chains, Perfetto sarebbe
problems scivolare fra muri e catene
that make me shiver. problemi
che brividi danno.
I slide over a puddle
of " I don't care" Slitto su una pozzanghera
turning myself to my silence di menefreghismo,
that makes me empty. voltandomi nei miei silenzi
che mi svuotano.
Stupidly
I squeeze my arms Stupidamente
as I would like to hear my heart stringo le braccia
Strongly beating, quasi per ascoltare il cuor mio
I hear the rythm battito forte
of my life. sento il ritmo
della vita mia.
But,
which day is today? Ma,
I don't know, che giorno è oggi?
Crying Non so,
will not give any piangere
Answer! che soluzione

FROM YOUR LIPS DID YOU LAY DOWN
The words tasting of roses Did you lay down
have fallen from your lips. After the lessons you have learned?
While the things you have lived Are the tears from your dark eyes
open leaf by leaf Going to pour down
Your eyes are on the pain of unborn rains into the wine glass like sorbet?
Did the clouds pull your dark curtains? Your body is going to cry again.
Your stars are invisible. its going to water the purple violets of your skin,
Who will wake you now The most hidden place that
from the place You have hidden it.
Where you have laid down? Let the shameless lips thirsty
Who will cover your shaking body For you drink poison.
That blossoms violets? Did you die while living?
Who will warm up your cold heart Did you get burried alive inside of hopes?
under the scorching sun? Strip down now to your virtue
But it is not far a way Hide the hurt you have inside of yourself
All you need is to want it! Bring down the weight
May the angels kiss your cheeks From your soul from
May your rose breath give life The most unhealable place
to your fallen leaves Load it to the soul that enslaved you
From your lips that have parted Every time your alone side is remembered
for the last time. Know that the curse of being
A woman/a name will come into place.

Morning gilding the sky Lights of cars
On East side Make strange shadows,
Dreaming horisonts in your eyes Where I go
Make me happy There is sky with no stars
Like the waves of the sea
Giggling in front of us On the blue bridge
Gypsy girl will
We will cherish the love Tell you the whole your story
With sangria For a coin or two,
Your breath will Just a happy lie
Capture my senses
Like virtuous flamenco dance In the dark
With its wild rythm captures A light of cigarette
The happy dancers Captures my attention
My one and only Of a stranger,

Two grain of sand The fortune

To become one And break the sadness
On sky of illusion Will wait for dawn
