FLORENTINA DANU

I Was Waiting For You, My Love ...

I knocked slowly at the gate of sin

The owner looked at me with a smile

Swinging his fingers smoothly

Over the harp of my soul

Scared and frozen with oblivion

I was waiting for you!

I knew you had to show up TODAY

I waited for you yesterday too

And today and tomorrow I’d have waited for you

But Today I felt like you would be here

And I would fall flashed in your arms ...

If you looked me in the eye

You’d see my ruby butterflies in them

Which would make you so confused

That you’d forget you’re at the gate of sin

I was waiting for you!

In my arms sin will be sweet

You’ll unravel like a sour cherry blossom

And you’ll let my butterflies

Taste your lips nectar, trembling

With so much anxiety

I was waiting for you, my love

At the gate of sweet sin

I knew Today you’d come ...

Variations ...

This memory enslaves me

with fingers spread.

I feel its claws clenching

in my sleeping soul,

where dust gathered

over variations sung

once, with four hands ...

Two outstretched hands remained

over white and black keys

like my soul ...

Slowly, slowly seconds proliferate

memory waltzes in purple tones

on a still unwritten stave ...

It encompasses the dream set on the eyelids

And fingers run like crazy

over keys awoken to life

unleashing my soul

turning the memory into oblivion ...

Captive Soul

Captive in my own life

The soul snuggles up intimidated

In a corner of heart

Wounded too often

By rose thorns

Blooming with fear

And its cry is lost

At the border between heart and thought ...
