ANA DEDOVA

 

I Curse The Day

 

I curse the day

when I met you,

when you met me,

when our bodies joined together.

 

I curse the day

when I loved you sincerely,

when you loved me insincerely,

as you gave me insincere promises.

 

I curse the day

when I shared my feelings with you,

as you took advantage of my joy,

and I confided you all my dreams.

 

I curse the day

because I let our love to burst into flames

because you substitute me with another

and you forgot our love.

 

Let Me

 

Let me be an artist,

to paint you a smile onto your face,

to paint you joy

with the colours of happiness.

 

Let me be a poet,

to write you emotional verses

and to sing you love melody.

 

Let me be wine

to dance onto your lips,

to be drunk by my love.

 

Let me be a story teller,

to whisper a story in your ear

and you to be fallen asleep onto my bosom

 

Passer-By

 

I am a passer-by

in pursuit of impossible.

I have packed my soul

into the case of life

and I have shed few tears secretly

to wash out the entire dirt.

 

I am travelling inside a time machine

between reality and dream.

I am walking along the streets

full of soulless people,

there is neither a drop of empathy

nor human solidarity

 

I shall follow those road signs

that will be chosen by my heart.

I shall start my journey with love

and great optimism,

my experiences to be sent to everybody

and joyful I shall return.
