Sunday mood

Favim.com-6170

You make me smile and I bring you waffles
there are roses in a jar and the coffee’s whistling,
hidden once more under the blankets
I read you stories from the morning paper
and Steve ran out and is waking up the neighbors…

Your opera stance is mostly garbage
but you have all of Mark Knopfler on vinyl
and that’s really fine for my dancing skills blow,
but when out walking our steps rhyme
and when indoors crying it’s like everybody died…

You worry too much where I imagine crazy stuff
and it’s bad for cholesterol and for both our hearts
but you make me smile and I make you pies,
I am an ungrateful bastard every once in a while
so I write you poems and you tend to forgive…

“Your mistakes are your best teachers”
no word about chicken in your fortune cookies
so I promised to stay up to the journey’s end,
when you look up at me I get warm and fuzzy
and hands lock like lovers on that bridge in Köln…

You gave me a painting and so many books to read
I have the plant you brought to groom and grow
and I live in France and have croissants everyday,
there’s a place you also love where I’d like to go
it’s up in the mountains not far from home…

For whom the heart tolls

It’s almost midnight
my thoughts went chasing falling stars,
in the long past dark
my eyes are writing hearts
and on a river sailing west
I kept a promise to my friend
I held the words and gave my chest
a longing for your head to rest…

It’s three minutes past
my arms are paddles in the grass
the rain is warm on my back
and I pour sand over my steps,
and in the silence that falls
I read chapters in the Psalms
and my heart tolls strong
without riddles or restrain…

Faun

WG-2013-262.jpg

E marți, iarbă rece, nu sunt nori,
liniște –
pictez desculț, cu greutatea trupului, în culori predefinite,
un singur nor,
pot să trăiesc în amintiri?

Apă, curge peste mine și din mine,
sunt un izvor, sunt Faun
și sălcii îngenunchează,
înăuntru e foc –
e inima mea ce topește suflete…

Ieri am rănit o fecioară
și soarele s-a stins în cer de sânge;
e liniște,
ea s-a prelins peste stele
și gândurile-i sunt ramuri ce se hrănesc din mine…

Și caut,
o pânză goală pe care să adun flori,
o casă, o stâncă și un stejar
și brațe albe aruncate peste zări –
dragoste am!

Pont Neuf

Love-Bug-Elephants_signed-e1430174395914.jpg

I am dancing,
I have dreams I’ve never dared to have
dark is becoming a shade of the light,
my eyes shine,
I love you heart of mine, how could I have been so cruel?
mornings are a painting I once saw in France,
and then I did pray and confess –
I’d do everything with you once more
changing parts that played out wrong…

Be mad and let’s jump off Pont Neuf together
when in love we’re so much better,
I’ll build you a home
we’ll walk in the sky at noon together
you will wear sandals in the snow,
the words we spoke are forever
will you be there to rise a cross for shelter?
believe the world is better
and my thoughts will never shatter…

Days of Epoh

Hope.jpg

Let’s get lost in heaven on the streets we walked back then,
it was cold, there were flowers going high
and our steps were mixed with laughter,
Sunday evenings in the park turned to nights in deep December
and the dark just made us bright,
you and me together –
let’s get lost in heaven, two stars on the northern sky
I will love you dearest till the last breath of my life…

I’m a dreamer, I will never loose my faith,
teach me how to walk this Earth
I confess to all the wrongdoings of my words,
they turned your bones to fragments of the sea,
let me build again a house to share in every city that we’ll be
we’ll have an orange dog and I will make you tea,
you will be my eyes
and I will fight the demons that we meet…

Let’s get lost in heaven and bring back joy,
all you’ve seen it’s still in there, the love is never gone,
I am not a stranger, I did wrong, I repent my soul,
let’s drink another coffee on the right side of the Rhone…

Falling out of paradise,
they dragged me down and broke my spine
and the glory
all glitter that I had is gone,
and I must forget,
but devils are dancing circles in my head –
I’m haunted;
dust is covering my tracks
it’s just the name I have I can’t forget,
I rose prayers to the only god I had
and He cruelly listened so I’ve left,
if I’d hold you tight as you once said
will my heart stop and my soul turn red?
the dream is fed with blood and need,
and I am people wondering –
I hope you understand
the stars are purple to the end…

Who is Alice

large

Who is Alice, I don’t know…
where is she I want to go,
who is Alice, will you show,
authors writing poems with her words
and the eyes that shine turn to rhymes,
who is Alice, she is always near
all I have is to reach and feel,
grab her hand, then walk and kneel…

Who is Alice dressed in blue
her heart is painted wide in you,
who is Alice dancing in the snow
she’ll open up your chest and see your soul,
and the wrong ways that you took
she may forgive if told the truth,
and all she asks is to love her back
to keep her in the arms she’s gave…

C’est qui la fille que je connais
Alice c’est qui, cette belle qui me voyait,
elle reste assisse sur son coté
au bord d’une rêve Alice souriait,
elle me retrouve à chaque fois sans me chercher
courir devant un train de fées,
Alice t’es où parmi des infinites pensées
t’es qui toi Alice, plus qu’une chère aimée?

Cine este Alice, oare o cunosc
cu aripile întinse între răsărit și apus,
și unde ești tu Alice oare am să știu
într-o seară fără de păcat vorbele ce scrii,
unde ești și unde am plecat
peregrini pe căile ce le-am uitat,
vino dragă Alice să pictăm cocori
printre inimi preschimbate-n nori….

Chemare II

Vino aproape,
să îmi petrec brațele peste umerii tăi,
vino să îți fur sărutul,
să îți presar flori de viță în plete,
ochi în ochi cu luminile stinse
vino să ne topim ca două piscuri de gheață,
apă sunt eu și tu ești o apă
și scriem portative cu unde policrome,
vino spre mine cu pașii de dans
să naștem amintiri pentru zile bătrâne…

Vino din nou
să scriem în doi jurăminte,
vino cu degete alunecând peste nori
vino cu sufletul însorit de flori,
să rostim într-un glas rugăciune,
și dintr-un trup tu și eu
să clădim temple pentru ziua de mâine,
haide acum să alergăm împreună
cu dor în priviri și inimă blândă
să așternem punți de foc peste veșnicii…

Run back in time

Run back in time baby
you’ll go so far and you won’t see,
run back from a place I’ve been, that little house in est Berlin…

I remember you –
slow talk, glasses and a walk we took so late,
I gave you books to read
you gave me time when I would need,
I remember you –
that thin red dress you never had,
I showed you the stars
you showed me love and built my dreams…

Run back in time baby
go to a place we both can be,
run back from this cruel way, to a song we used to play…

I saw you there,
morning lights and thousand eyes to care,
you gave me chances
I’ll give you all of my days,
run back in time baby
don’t loose a moment of what it can be,
you asked me for a weekend –
do ask me for this life baby…

Run back in time my love
walk those steps and knock on hard,
run back from the yellow park, to the altar of our hearts…
