Meeting Point

Time was away and somewhere else,
There were two glasses and two chairs
And two people with the one pulse
(Somebody stopped the moving stars):
Time was away and somewhere else.

(Louis Macneice)

The Ideal

This is where I came from.
I passed this way.
This should not be shameful
Or hard to say.

A sels is a self
It is not a screen.
A person should respect
What he has been.

This is my past
Which I shall not discard.
This is the ideal.
This is hard.
(James Fenton)

Some lines...:D

....My hands become a tray
Offering me, my flesh, my soul, my skin...
(Douglas Dunn, The Kaleidoscope)

The Confirmation (by Edwin Muir)

Yes, yours, my love, is the right human face.
I in my mind had waited for this long,
Seeing the false and searching for the true,
Then found you as a traveller finds a place
Of welcome suddenly amid the wrong
Valleys and rocks and twisting roads. But you,
What shall I call you? A fountain in a waste,
A well of water in a country dry,
Or anything that's honest and good, an eye
That makes the whole world seem bright. Your open heart,
Simple with giving, gives the primal deed,
The first good world, the blossom, the blowing seed,
The hearth, the steadfast land, the wandering sea.
Not beautiful or rare in every part.
But like yourself, as they were meant to be.

Sarutul zapezii

Povestea lor incepe uşor,

Pe nesimţite, ca o boare,

Ieri s-au văzut, azi s-au plăcut,

Iubirea încet, încet, apare …

Nici el, nici ea; chiar nu ştiau

Nici cum, nici când, nici ce să facă,

Şi nici măcar nu presimţeau

Ce flacără o să-i ardă !

Când se vedeau, ei tot visau

Cum va fi primul lor sărut …

Dar vai ! Apoi îşi aminteau

Că vor dori un pic mai mult !

Dorinţa lor e însă o taină aleasă

Şi nimeni, niciodată n-o să ştie

Că ea va fi mereu a lui dulce crăiasă …

El, împăratul din a ei împărăţie

(Aurel RUSU)

sunshine in the rain...:D

When I'm in Berlin you're off to London
When I'm in New York you're doing Rome
All those crazy nights we spend together
As voices on the phone

Wishing we could be more telepathic
Tired of the nights I sleep alone
Wishing we could redirect the traffic
And find ourselves a home

Can you feel the raindrops in the desert
Have you seen the sunrays in the dark
Do you feel my love when I'm not present
Standing by your side while miles apart

Sunshine in the rain
Love is still the same
Sunshine in the rain
Sunshine in the rain
Love is still the same
Sunshine in the rain

Even if we call the highest power
We can only do one town a time
Words are not enough action speaks louder
Second time around
Can you feel the raindrops in the desert
Have you seen the sunrays in the dark
Do you feel my love when I'm not present
Standing by your side while miles apart
(Bodies Without Organs)
