GEORGIANA-LAURA GHEORGHE

 

Platonic Love

 

Its sounds come from deep within the heart

Of the two friends that became a couple,

Echoing across the floral meadow

Like the symphony performed at God’s Palace.

It turns the couple’s pure heart into a sun

That lights brighter, protecting it from the apple of discord

Thrown at them by the green-eyed monster

That’s passing by them disguised as a benevolent man.

 

Relies on each other’s respect,

He becomes a chivalrous knight,

She, a well-mannered princess,

Both being good listeners,

They patiently listen to what the other has to say.

 

Is a rare gem unearthed only by those

Those understand its spiritual meaning,

Cherishing it in their heart for the rest of their lives.

 

The Wait

 

I’m standing on the Titan’s knee,

Looking around in awe and fear

As the sea urges me to swim,

After all, it is a hot summer’s day.

I politely refused for the hundredth time

Despite being tempted to do it.

The laughter of my peers echo across the seafront,

Asking me „when will I come join them?”

Being in my teenage years,

The world seems bigger than I expected,

So, it’s better to wait for the right moment

To spread my wings and fly towards the sky.

“When will it come? Is it worth the wait?”

 

My Garden

 

My

Garden

Is a belle

That is filled with

Racemes of flowers,

Whose sweet perfume

Relaxes

My stressed

Soul.
