POEMS BY TRANDAFIR SIMPETRU


When…

Beloved, 

when you’re coming trembling

while you’re approaching me with the nightingale smile

with the fear of the lightning from the heights,

when you’re stepping in my dreams on your knees,

when you’re begging and pleading,

while my indifference is broken towards the walls,

when your illusion is gone,

when your joy is cast away,

when it has been given to you

the life of the one who will be no more,

then… you are walking on the other pathway,

alone… the other one remains just here…



Signs


For you, my beloved,

one blank page has remained,

like a boundless deserve 

where tropical winds write its own signs 

not being able to comprehend

how we are fleeing away from the suffering 

how we are looking for the momentum 

without its contour, shapelessl

while on the edge of the world

I cannot hear itsfootsteps


Is the woman who cannot come?

Could be the night which is waiting for me

One blank page has remained for me,

large as an ocean shore… on which

an anxious flash vision has just passed.



I Am Telling You


Honey, I am telling you,

My days are wasted on the roads,

I have been looking for you among words,

the solstice comes and spreads out its snows

between our loves…


And you…. You keep waiting for me…

But I am not coming back…

The night carries coldness and silences.

How the wind is blowing on the shore

on which I have remained!...


Closer and closer,

thesea’s somber bell has been tossing

and you are calling me with your earth’s words

to the place where you can ask me to arrive,

andthe moment I am able to reach,

I shall kneel again inside your blue eyes.


Ohhh… how the wind blows on the cold coast!

IN BERLIN

IN BERLIN In Berlin I filled up forms Applying for political asylum But my tears flowed non-stop And I had to stop writing When told I could not go back Maybe for the rest of my life The white guy at the Human Rights office Kept quiet for a long time and kept looking at me Seeing it was very difficult for me To let go of my beloved country Then he asked me To think carefully And take time Until I am very sure of myself Two weeks later The world stopped turning Due to Corvid 19 In Sarajevo Few weeks later A vacant Malaysian plane Took us back to my homeland ‘Your PM really loves you’ The officer at the empty Butmir airport counter joked with me ‘Yes, maybe someone knew I was applying for political asylum in Berlin recently’ I replied He laughed heartily While his beautiful blue eyes caressing my face I joined his laughter In prayer I touched my forehead to the floor of the hotel lobby Used to quarantine us Oh my God Maybe that’s wh...
