The
speech of love – Giorgos Seferis
Rose of the
fate, you was planning to hurt us
But you was
bending down, like a secret which was going to be revealed
But the command
you gave has been so nice
And your
smile has been like a sword ready to fight. [….]
The secrets
of the sea are forgotten in the seashore
And the
darkness of the bottom of the sea is forgotten in the waves
Suddenly,
the corals of memory shine so bright [….]
You touched
the apple tree, the hand was reached out
And a twist
seems to guide you ,
Ooh, you
dark goosebumb in the root and in the leaves,
Wish it
will be you who will bring back the forgotten dawn..
Wish that
flowers will bloom again in the meadow of separation
And the
embrace of the sky will be open again one day,
I wanna see
only your eyes to shine in the glare of the sun
And our
soul to be so pure, like a song of a flute.
[…..]
Rose of the
wind, you knew us but you took us back like two strangers
While the
same time our thought was building bridges
Wish our
fingers will be together again and they will go down in the low light.[…]
I wish you
could raise your head from your hands ,
and I could do whatever you want if you tell
me again those words
who were touching
my blood like an embrace.
I remember
, your eyes were lowered,and you had this smile ,which old drawers used to
paint.Now your words and your light
voice are forgotten . you ‘ve been saying :
“the pass of time is soft
and it’s like being from an other world.
Now the pain is lying softly on my soul .
The dawn is shining in the sky, the dream is
still there [….]
Sometimes I hear the sadness feeling my soul
but I have to accept that moments are just moments, which they’re gonna be
lost, and my lust for you is like a
sunset.
My beloved,you came like a stranger, but the
same time, like someone I always knew,
And you gave me the relief I’ve been searching
in the winds….
I look in
the mirror our love is falling apart each day,
Now only my
dreams reminds me of you,
And as time
passes by, the heart is becoming narrow
And it’s
lost in a foreign embrace. [……………….]
I wonder
where is this day which changed everything in my life?
I wonder if
we ever find a floating river for us.[….]
We’re
sitting in the stone of patience and we wait for the wonder,
Which can
turn every dream into truth. [….]
Rose of the
wind and fate, now you remain only in the memory
Like a heavy rhythm,
and like a seastorm. THE WORLD IS SIMPLE
