my happiness ends here / on a Sunday’s evening
after the cross atop the church’s steeple becomes cooler
after this bright red sunset
there will be no more painless/ careless/ fearless moments
the asphalt is empty and dull for my soles/ its echoes are lost
no better things to do than strolling these streets/ almost losing ground
staring at people right into the whole/ the full of them
without any thought on my mind

only the shadow of my elbow is touched by other shadows
en passant
silhouette after silhouette
Modigliani’s women/  Brâncuşi’s magic birds
la dolce morte della luce

everything flows into thoughts/ thoughts into other thoughts
even Charon’s boat disappears
and right now my lips paralyzed to prevent me from proving the truth

 

*Note: Brancusi was a famous Romanian sculptor

you're right....I can tell you that I stopped writing a few months ago for different reasons (it does not matter what) but I had won before in March a contest for unplished authors of all ages in my country and they said that they will publish my book next year in March...it is a long time, maybe I shall continue writing. angel And I wrote for the IP here directly in English. Translating my own poems is not easy, I offer them like this to others, it is another re-creation.

thanks, I published on my own a book with poems on Smashwords, but that was long ago , I knew less English then and in the past few years I changed very much my aesthetics, the way I write, and I was published in more e-zines, magazines or journals than it was written there
