IRINA CRISTINA ȚENU

Freedom, I Found You, You're Mine!

Freedom, I found you, you're mine!

I feel the sweet-bitter taste, like no one else's!

You amaze me, because you are to me, as in a story,

Relief, delight, exaltation, forgetfulness!

Freedom, welcome to life's stateless sand!

I wanted you, I missed you, I finally found you

On the great shore of dreams with dozens of paraphernalia,

Caressed, studied, initiated in the moments of the sunrise!

Freedom, I love you, I confess before Heavenly Father!

I want to live my life with you, to always look you in the eyes,

I smell the scent of the moments that pass, spend and always compete

With the time that cuts off their wings and constantly torments their soles!

Freedom, you are my happiness, the radiance of the rays that caress my face!

You are the executioner of suffering! You are the prayer of the desire! You are the cure of the being and the gift of the will!

Freedom, I found you, you're mine!

I feel the sweet-bitter taste, like no one else's!

Evidences

Thoughts stirred up by the shrill scream of a lost memory

Bated breath of some amok steps

An oblivion messed up by the pale face seen in the mirror

A longing clinging to a heart that seeks its words

The shadow of a sunrise killed by ignorance

Among these evidences a soul in a perpetual search

And a love in the middle of a storm that only raises hypotheses

The blue sky is not in sight

The present displays a different horizon,

Two hearts breathing a different air.

I'm a point

I'm a point in a world of points

I wander the wet ground, sniffing the air of life

I feel the caress of age running through my body dizzy with feelings

Hungry spots feed on the restlessness of the day

At the table of apparent colorless silence

They gather their steps to counsel in the indefinite space of amnesic living

Looking for the beginning of a new breath

All they hear is the illusory scream of resignation

In the midst of this uncertain search, the heartbeat makes its presence felt

I am a point in a world of points masterfully outlined by the brush of hope

In the center of an easel that only inspires and exhales life

Otherwise, just blue.
