WISHES ALIVE

Nu stiu daca
pot sa fac cuvintele
sa poarte-n spinare
ca furnicile, boabe de grau,
boabe de soare,
picuri de roua,
sufletu-mi descult
in mainile tale
moi, cantecul
nesfarsit al inimii,
al diminetii tremurande,
al drumului tau inapoi,
al ochilor tai, al suflului tau
inchis in mine
pentru totdeauna...

Si uneori
inlocuiesc
te iubesc
cu I love you
E mai cald?
poate nu, dar
as vrea sa pot sa-ti spun
te iubesc
in toate limbile pamantului.

But you already know.

So I find myself
waiting,
whistling
like a forest bird
in the sun.
An experiment mixing Romanian and English lines.. the idea behind it: words have great power but cannot go beyond everything; also: when your heart is full and all you've got is words, it's sometimes difficult to find the best words to express your feelings.. (I found myself replacing 'te iubesc' with 'I love you'..)
