All Because of You

Author: Alyssa

Dark days become sunny
Frigid days become warm,
Rainy days become cloudless
And lightning got wiped away from the storm.

Oceans sing,
Rocks cry out,
Mountains roar,
And tree branches shout.

The stars fall
Right out of the sky.
The moon winks
And the sun went dry.

All because you said one thing
All because you said it true
All because you made me smile
All because you said I love you.

Nostalgia

From the depth of good times
our loves greet us bitterly

You’re not in love, you say, and you don’t remember.
And if your heart has filled and you shed the tears
that you couldn’t shed like you did at first,
you’re not in love and you don’t remember, even though you cry.

Suddenly you’ll see two blue eyes
- how long it’s been! - that you caressed one night;
as though inside yourself you hear
an old unhappiness stirring and waking up.

These memories of time past
will begin their danse macabre;
and like then, your bitter tear will
well up on your eyelid and fall.

The eyes suspended - pale suns -
the light that thaws the frozen heart,
the dead loves that begin to stir,
the old sorrows that again ignite. . . .


Νοσταλγία

Μεσ' από το βάθος των καλών καιρών
οι αγάπες μας πικρά μας χαιρετάνε.

Δεν αγαπάς και δε θυμάσαι, λες.
Κι αν φούσκωσαν τα στήθη κι αν δακρύζεις
που δε μπορείς να κλάψεις όπως πρώτα,
δεν αγαπάς και δε θυμάσαι, ας κλαίς.

Ξάφνου θα ιδείς δυό μάτια γαλανά
-πόσος καιρός!- τα χάιδεψες μιά νύχτα,
και σα ν' ακούς εντός σου να σαλεύει
μιά συφορά παλιά και να ξυπνά.

Θα στήσουνε μακάβριο το χορό
οι θύμησες στα περασμένα γύρω,
και θ' ανθίσει στο βλέφαρο σαν τότε
και θα πέσει το δάκρυ σου πικρό.

Τα μάτια που κρεμούν - ήλιοι χλωμοί -
το φώς στο χιόνι της καρδιάς και λιώνει,
οι αγάπες που σαλεύουν πεθαμένες,
οι πρώτοι ξανά που άναψαν καημοί…


Ностальгия

Из глубины счастливых времён наша
любовь горько нас приветствует

Не любишь и не помнишь, скажешь,
И вдруг теснится грудь, и плачешь
О том, что всё уже не так, как раньше.
Не любишь и не помнишь, плачешь.

Вдруг, неожиданно, два глаза голубых
-ах, сколько времени! ласкала ночью их –
И тут почувствуешь, что словно всколыхнётся
Обида старая и всё опять проснётся.

Устроим пляску смерти на года.
Поплачем о своём умершем прошлом.
Набухнет на ресницах, как тогда,
И упадёт слеза, со вкусом горьким.

Глаза опущены –и тусклы их лучи-
Свет льётся в сердце, лёд его растает.
Любовь и чувства, что казалось уж мертвы,
Печаль былую в моём сердце разжигают


Konstantinos Karyotakis

I was searching for the poems for the friend but unfortunately couldn' find. Sorry I will post mine here for Sophia mou.

SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had halfimpaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all bellow,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Lord Bayron

This sonnet has been in my head all day - maybe because it's been such a beautiful, sunny one!! When you say it, it sounds like a song So, I HAVE to post it, and will dedicate it to my love...

Shall I Compare Thee To A Summers day?
Sonnet 18
William Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Seni DüşÃ¼nmek - Nazım Hikmet

Seni düşÃ¼nmek güzel şey, ümitli şey,
Dünyanın en güzel sesinden
En güzel şarkıyı dinlemek gibi birşey...
Fakat artık ümit yetmiyor bana,
Ben artık şarkı dinlemek değil,
Şarkı söylemek istiyorum.

Thinking of you

Thinking of you is pretty, hopeful,
It is like listening to the most beautiful song
From the most beautiful voice on earth...
But hope is not enough for me any more,
I don't want to listen to songs any more,
I want to sing.

Nice username. Very creative.
