Living in another world
Reverses the day with the night
The old dream became reality
The old reality turned into dream.
Haiku
Being stupid
Being stupid is so easy
All you have to do is
To speak as you think
Not think as you speak
Write what you say
Publish anyway.
Nothing to do with Stonehenge
Life was
here before death.
So, flowers
and people were there
before rocks
and pebbles.
Then something happened
And their dignity
was crushed into stones.
All of a sudden, the world
Was full of them.
Some flowers
and people continued to live
But no
dignity was left inside.
Since then,
all people dare
In terms of
dignity
Is some
small stones
Hidden in
their kidneys.
She had a yellow-green watch
The finity of life.
(Inspired by Swatch - Colourful Watches :):):)
Keep the sanctity of the places you love
Keep a little distance, a little mystery,
Keep a little bit of fear
When you walk on their roads.
Keep the sanctity of the people you love
Don’t aim to know them too well
Keep a little bit of distance,
Keep a little bit of mystery yourself,
A little bit of distance to yourself
Let air flow mildly through all these spaces
As it is that air of sanctity
Keeping all you love, alive.
It comes and grabs people
To taste the beauty of life
My mum has never been jogging
She’s never opened
the books I go through
But somehow she always knew
A banker’s hands are never dirty.
A lawyer’s hands are always clean,
Too often unlike his heart.
The mind and the
inside clean.
Standing on the threshold
The other always stays in.
Weaving us into
lonely islands
And that has never
been a secret
If they do not
over-estimate
It can make you
feel free
That your life,
like mine
Always hides
something fine
So, cheers to the
root of vine.
Orasul meu in
care altminteri
Ma tot intalneam
cu cate cineva
Pare acum pustiu
de prieteni,
Privirea mea nu
mai da de a ta.
Ma-nvart in gol, nimeni nu-mi mai e cunoscut
Prietenii mei au
plecat in tarile mai putin calde
Ce-au avut de
pierdut, au pierdut.
Never open your
umbrella indoors
It’s a bad sign,
it means you've not fixed your roof.
Never read in the
bathroom, it’s a bad sign,
It means you have
no other quite place in the house.
It’s a good sign
when you meet the priest
It may mean you
got rid of all your troubles.
It’s a bad sign
when you meet the doc
It may mean your
troubles only start.
Lighting a
cigarette is always a bad sign
It means you’ll
be kicked out from everywhere.
Through the
railway station.
With their colored chalks
Not even rain
passes through that station
Prin gara nu mai trece
niciun tren
Ce a fost de
trecut a trecut.
Nici macar ploaia
nu mai trece prin gara.
The Good, the Bad and That’s It
A good man and a
bad man are lodging
Will die at business class.
Fatigue is
cutting my fingers
And then my
bloody fingers
Are shattering
the dreams
And then my hair
drops...
Slowly, red and silent.
In answer to Wendy Cope’s „Men are like buses”
Easy to miss and hard to flee...
Have no connection to ground reality
Last minute choices are often expensive
However, it is useless to become defensive
When asked, you must keep your upright position
And that, without any opposition
Sometimes you are allowed to lean
But that is only in between.
They give you meals which are apparently free
In fact you pay for every crumb that falls on your knee
But then they might drop you off unexpectedly.
And that’s just the way I’m woven
Not a whim or a fact that was proven.
Babe, don’t take me for granted
Cause this just isn’t my way
When days turn to be boring
And nights just full of snoring
Babe, I might just go away
To things that I wished long ago
When life is getting late
All you can do is contemplate fate
So, babe, let me not stay in your way.
Mess
Mary, Mary, You’re no longer my Mary
You turned round like a berry
You’re two in one, I’m one in two
What a mess, I still love you!
People
People are mere stories
That stay beyond death
On other people’s lips
They finally don’t care
The others never had.
Wild Weed
Love grows against the law
It grows against the mind
Love’s just a weed that grows wild.
It is a scent that doesn’t cost a cent
Calling it free is a silly mistake.
Sum Up
Those fresh wounds have grown pretty old
The salty tears have gone dry
Even the scar’s no longer a tattoo
When life became as short as a haiku.
Once upon a time
I thought you were divine.
Once upon a wine
You hugged me as a rhyme.
Once upon a dream
Our love turned into sin.
Once upon a past
I slowly lost my trust.
Once in a while
I miss our life-style.
Once upon tomorrow
There might be sorrow.
But once upon a future
Love will be the nurture.
In the Air
My thoughts fly in the air and I follow them
Ideas blossom
But then the plane lands
And my feet walk in depression
Never catching
And never forgetting.
(Billie would know what to do with this)
Since I’ve left you behind
‘Cause I’m still in luv with you
When I don’t need a thing
‘Cause I feel life’s beam
Other times I travel yellow
For you to think I’m mellow
On my way.
Litmus test
Tango lesson, Ball Room at Café Amsterdam
"Have patience with each other!"...
"When the man crosses the line, the woman readjusts the couple and takes
the lead"...
"The man needs to feel and control the woman's core, gentlemen. If you
control your woman, then you have no problem..."
These are words one would expect to hear during a couples' therapy session.
But do not be fooled! They are taken from the "Tango Lesson". No, not Sally
Potter's lesson, but Alina and Catalin's, a woman and a man who exude
beauty and well-being for three hours straight while they teach the moves
and spirit of Argentinean tango. The tango re-teaches you how to walk, only
this time it's about the "walk by a woman's side!", is what Catalin
believes.
If you've never danced tango in your life, you might think it's just a
dance. But the tango brings together a woman and a man not only as two
bodies, but as two attitudes, where the two match or not without spoken
words, and where distance is pure sensuality.
It is a game of pride where the woman trustingly leans over the man's chest
and follows his steps. Docile but full of dignity, all at once. The tango
reveals a couple's complete philosophy, including the hidden meanings it
entails and the tricks that make it work; those who can detect it will
enjoy a full spectacle while watching two people tango.
If you want to find out what hides inside a woman, if you want to be around
her for more than just a simple distraction, invite her to tango. You can
forget what she told you over coffee. The tango brings out the truth moreso
than a good bottle of wine. And it reveals her colors more so than a litmus
test.
The tango might as well be the key to the chaos of today's relationships,
but people stay away from it. It either seems old fashioned or it brings
out insecurities. Men don't want to bother leading their women with force
and tenderness, and the women move messily in all directions without even
thinking to be led. In tango, the woman makes no mistakes. Faulty moves are
>never her mistakes, but the man's... who couldn't properly lead!
So ladies, after many years of gender equality, don't you miss being led
from time to time? And you, gentlemen, admit that it'll do you some good to
tame the wonderful shrews who dance around you in brownian steps.
Remember, however, that in tango however, women can never be wrong in their movement.
