THADDEUS HUTYRA


THADDEUS HUTYRA

1.
A PECULIAR STORY
DURING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
There is a say the Universe
has a sister mirror universe
and both are meeting
at the so-called Janus point.
Whether you believe or not
in the existence of mirror universe
one thing is certain
there are marvels upon marvels
there, far beyond us.
Oryzeus already mentioned it
Plato, Socrates, Aristotle
Passion, which is not foreign
to modern thinkers.
Sometimes love is
alike Janus point
the mutual correlation
of two souls and bodies
with their counterparts
that frantically feel
they found the right one
in each other.
The world of science discovered
our brains can think
in 11 dimensions
Who knows
perhaps they can decipher
the deepest mysteries
we are still trying to solve.
The irrefutable fact is
the world is accelerating
with its innovations
with ever faster pace.
What we never dreamt of
is becoming the reality
quantum computing
sustainable communities
genomic vaccines
green vehicle technology
precision farming
artificial photosynthesis
deep learning
gathering water from air
one does not know what else.
The pace is rising even faster
highly skilled androids
already thought about
terraforming of Mars
and even colonizing it
with many millions of humans.
Then there shall come
farther space expansions
ghostly seeming to be teleportations
perhaps even light molecules
being used as starships
many more things
one so far read about
in the fairy tales.
Of all of these things, Anne
you are though
dearest to my heart
What I would do
without you
I guess nothing
I would starve.
So let’s dance, Anne
let’s dance
at this very moment
in the face
of the solar eclipse
and its diamond ring.
So let’s also kiss
right now, Anne.
Wow, thank you, my dear
Sweet is your kiss!
Your alluring kiss, Anne
and the NYC skyline
now, when the Moon
is smoothly passing
in front of the Sun
I shall never forget
O! Kiss me again!
Solar eclipse is over
but our love stays, Anne.
You know, your kisses
in this short interval
between the flickering Baily’s beads
and the Sun's diamond ring
were the eternity
and it is my secret
I share with you.
Know it, Anne
the echoes of your words
'I love you’ shall last
till I'll be put to the rest
under the graveyard’s tombstone.

‘ New York City Shrouded in the Mist ‘
Lovers strolling in Central Park
drinking coffee, smiling
Subtle kisses bringing sunshine
in the early morning hours
of NYC shrouded in the mist.
Midtown Manhattan, Lower East Side
Greenwich Village, East Village
Ellis Island, Chelsea, Time Square
Upper East Side, Upper West Side
all of you, O’ New York City
are shrouded in the mist
on that fine morning hours day!
Fashionable ladies, attractive men
all rushing to their jobs
Everybody shrouded in the mist
as much as the magnificent NYC.
The veil of the mist
seems to be threaded
by symphonic diamonds of light
coming from the emerging Sun
enshrouding the whole city.
Central Park, Brooklyn Heights
Queens, Broadway, the Bronx
Staten Island, Kings, Richmond
Lower Manhattan, Hudson River
any place one looks
lovers strolling together
shrouded as if by the wedding veil.
Intensity of the morning
is the harbinger of the coming day
Urban jungle, mind-boggling
the universe of its own
diversities juxtaposed
in a smart, NYC way.
Manhattan unfurled, the magic pearl
the West Side and the East Side
Empire State Building, Chelsea Piers
Woolworth Building, Freedom Tower
Manhattan Bridge, Madison Square
Rockefeller Center, Waterside Plaza
all shrouded in the morning mist.
O’ New York City, my greatest lover
you, so subtle like a woman
so intense like a man
yet you are many millions of us
shrouded by the Stars and Stripes!
O’ New York City, you, the symphony
of all the vibrations of life
as nowhere else in the world
you, the spider’s web of love
bursting with life anew and anew.
O’ New York City, shrouded in the mist
O’ New York City, my heartland
from early twilight morning hours
to late night hours of short rest
you are the finest tune of my heart.
O’ New York, New York, New York City
you, the Star-Spangled Banner of America
O’ New York, New York, New York City
shrouded by Old Glory and New Glory
O’ New York, New York, New York City!

'New York City
chiseled in my mind!’
New York, my New York City
you, shrouded in your glory
of the present and the past
certainly also forever.
Enshrined by the Sun’s rays
and the very skyscrapers
with the Freedom Tower on top.
How you shine, my dear NYC
as if you were a starship
across the Universe!
Labyrinthine in a delightful way
although to the point
I feel mazed at times
Yet it empowers me
with happiness.
Magnificent Times Square
the Crossroads of the World
dazzles me the most!
Smashing Broadway follows
and its Theater District
the shine of the world!
So many theaters
I have difficulty to choose one
Lyceum, Lyric Theater, Hudson one
Shubert Theater, New Amsterdam one
New Victory Theater, Broadhurst one
Apollo Theater or the Palace one
so many of them, all glittering
like the nightly stars on the sky.
The Broadway classics
feeling like best chocolates
melting in my mouth
The Phantom of the Opera
Jersey Boys, Wicked, Chicago,
Mamma Mia, Annie, Billy Elliot
alongside staggering number
of plays, musicals, symphonies.
New York, my New York City
you, shrouded in your glory
all the time.
On the mornings
when the Sun’s first twilight rays
bring waves of life afresh.
At rainy times
when you are
fogged in the mist.
At quiet nights
when you are shrouded
by the sky’s starry crown.
Always you are there, splendid
in your endless magics
Your glory far reaching
never ever ending, forever.
For you are chiseled in my mind
my beautiful NYC
Chiseled in stone
and greatness of your spirits
O! New York City
chiseled in my mind!
O! New York City
how I am stunned, flabbergasted!
For it is you, New York City
you, my spirits, my soul!

‘ Symphony of New York ‘
There you are, you, my charming goddess in my life
enchanting one of such unearthly, crystalline beauty
that when you walk out with me, with all your charms
all the birds there are yet left are singing song of love.
Every time we stroll in enthralling Manhattan
alongside the Hudson river and Atlantic shores
walking in ravishing Central Park or just sitting in a cafe
there is heard song of love all over New York City.
The symphony of our love, of our two hearts
echoes from a skyscraper to a skyscraper, to all skyscrapers
and the whole New York City becomes a final symphony
one of love and only of love, of our loving hearts
O' play the symphony of New York, play to our hearts
turn all New York City into the symphony of love.
O' Lord, my Lord, how I am sincere thankful to you
You brought such beauty into my life, captivating one
the woman I love with all my heart, my passionate heart
she is my lover, my meaning of life, my very life.
O' Lord, my Lord, great are your gifts greater than life
What would I do without her, my sweetheart
how miserable would be the world without wonders as her ?!
O' sing angels, play the symphony of love !
The symphony of our love, of our two hearts
echoes from a skyscraper to a skyscraper, to all skyscrapers
and the whole New York City becomes a final symphony
one of love and only of love, of our loving hearts
O' play the symphony of New York, play to our hearts
turn all New York City into the symphony of love.

'There you are, my New York City!’
There you are, my New York City
Splendid, in all my dreams.
There you are, my New York City

So busy, crossroads of the world

you are the shroud of glory
at all times!

ready for new challenges.
For you are breath, my breath
so much important to me.
New York, my New York City
I can not imagine
I can ever live without you.
I am so much grown in you
a New Yorker with my roots!
Even Alexandra, my best friend
is astonished in my love to you.
Well, you are all what I have
O! New York, my New York City!
There you are, my New York City
definitely always on my mind!
There you are, my New York City
I tribute you forevermore!
