We bask in the light

Summer suns a safe haven

Winter a shadow

 

Within chronicles

Yesterday’s dreams are waning

Particles of dust

 

Wandering crows meet

Blackened rooftops gain a shade

Crafty black in black

 

Blue ribbons scatter

Red garlands will drag along

Skies a jigsaw frame

 

I gather moonbeams

Pale lilies in the pond glow

Infinite glitter

 

Show me an arrow

I will show you bleeding bows

Harvests are meager

 

Fingers summon years

Tireless practice in the aim

Center of the heart

Haughty mare

 

In riddles I bare

Heart to swear

Hard to tear

Patched through dragons entering lair

A bosom to spare

 

Soul’s delight

Gathers me insight

See the light

In twilight

When lovers breathe through the night

Bodies’ trance in flight

 

June in hay

Summer’s haunting day

Ghost of May

Sudden death

On grounds of convenience lay

Blossoms of your breath

L’essentiel des débats éperdus dans le flou / The essence of debates confounded in the blur

L’essentiel des débats éperdus dans le flou

(Poème écrit en vers Alexandrin sous forme de sonnet occitan. Voir traduction ci-bas ou ici)

10 mars 2017

 

Les expériences passées sur un tréteau reposent

Où la mémoire dessine des rondeurs de l’été

De printemps trépassés par des cœurs qui disposent

Vagues d’amour par Ondine qui ressoude l’étêté

 

Les mémoires effacées émergent des temps moroses

Où la vague serpentine clôt sentiers répétés

Dans les déserts glacés où les malheurs s’exposent

Quand la fée Mélusine en des fers fut jetée

 

Ouvrez grandes les oreilles guidez droit les cœurs las

Il arrive des combats dont vous ignorez tout

Oublié le sommeil dominés entrelacs

 

Nous vivrons des ébats en ultimes rendez-vous

Dans des cœurs rouge vermeil en bordure de lilas

L’essentiel des débats éperdus dans le flou

Amen Hayr Sourp (Amen Holy Father) – Levon Minassian

 

The essence of debates confounded in the blur

(Translation of a poem written in Alexandrin verse in Occitan sonnet form. See original above or here)

10 March 2017

 

The past experiences upon a trestle lay

Where the memory draws all the curves of summer

From the forgotten springs by the hearts which dispose

Waves of love through Ondine who welds the beheaded

 

The erased memories emerge from gloomy times

Where the serpentine wave closes repeated trails

In the frozen deserts where misfortunes unfold

When fairy Melusine in iron chains was thrown

 

Now open wide your ears guide right the weary hearts

Upcoming are battles of which you know nothing

Forgotten the old sleep dominated criss-cross

 

We will live happiness in ultimate meetings

Within vermilion hearts bordering on lilac

The essence of debates confounded in the blur

I still feel

Touch of summer breeze

It held me

In rapture

As my heart you then captured

Under spells of fate

 

You and I

Made from the same thread

You spun lies

I spun truth

In between there were tangles

Where we smoothed angles

 

Brief instant

Concentric circles

Lapped at squares

No split hairs

Overcoming all hurdles

Geometries matched

 

You in me

Within dreamtime’s realm

Ecstatic

Lost magic

You the captain at my helm

Guided me to port

 

Safe Haven

Memories of green

I spoke Love

You mistake

We never own what we take

Over the free will

 

I still freeze

I have a nightmare

Where the breeze

Talks to us

Persuades me to let go

I never say no

The wild at hearts flare

Like masterpiece of summer

Scorching the dried woods

 

The wildfire a blaze

Best pick of the century

A view nonpareil

 

Trophy of brightness

Uninterrupted by rocks

Moss shriveled by sun

 

Flaming pearl jewel

They attempted taming it

Flushing flash of fire

 

Like stone ornament

Of precious roots uncovered

Sparkler’s crystal light

 

No glass contained it

Conflagration of Senses

The infinite heat

I fall through the cracks

In between tiles that shudder

Winter’s ice-clad touch

 

I fall through the cracks

Dropping from the wall’s peelings

That autumn rain cast

 

I fall through the cracks

From one ledge to another

That summer clad beige

White like spring’s jasmine

I fall through the cracks

As the air opens its pores

Sizzling mist around

 

I fall through the cracks

As the skies open their arms

Shedding me sunrays

 

I fall through the cracks

Between needles and clock’s face

As Time slowly dies

Reinvented spring

Reinvented spring

3 January 2016

 

Spectacles, new eyes

Look within their frame’s focus

Winter’s snow turns crisp

 

Next doors a bird chirps

A leafy tree in desert

Reinvented spring

 

 

Rain’s pitter patter

Upon the meadows flowers

Snow preserved by walls

 

Beach sands extended

Slight rivers joining the sea

Summer kissed winter

 

 

Images from my camera for the flowers (all from my garden) and from luxuo.com, worldoftravel.com, ink361.com, gadling.com for the Dubai sightseeing points landscapes

I wrote this poem in a series of Haiku bordering on Senryu because it struck me how much it is typical of this country in its winter to know of three seasons within the same time; mainly winter, spring and summer together but during some days winter, spring and autumn bizarrely depending on where you are going. The winter symbol is of course man-made with the construction of ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates where you can go skiing regardless of the temperature outside. Winter here is the equivalent of spring in Europe and when it is not raining the weather is fantastic, flowers are blooming and birds are chirping everywhere.

Wading its way up

Into winter horizons

The sun reeked of change

 

Shadow of moon wept

Translucent mark in the skies

Ghost of yesterday

 

Your heart slow stammered

Strong were the upcoming tides

That would wash ashore

 

Rejoice for this pause

The calm before the storm’s dark

Winter will see through

Spring will speak of peace

In the whispers of the leaves

Growing on brown stems

 

Blue flowers will bloom

Upon the reddened meadows

Contrast of colours

 

Hearts will know of green

Beating under lush crimson

Metamorphosis

 

In between faces

Recognition but a sign

Renewal of Times

Summer will breathe bliss

Lazy hays that stretch outwards

Into new spaces

 

In between the cracks

Rivers of yesteryears’ gloom

Surfacing bubbles

 

The day will break night

Glorious winged serenity

Guardian of the realms

 

Bubbles will burst breath

Rancid spots on sheet of white

Agonising past

Autumns will bear sheaths

For all daggers of seasons

Stilling mildewed breath

 

The fog and the wind

United in scattering

Closing paths of fear

 

The wheat rolled in piles

A bounty for two morrows

Constructing solace

 

We will knead them bread

From the death of the treasons

Life sprouts from passing

If I am but you

Twining mirror within coils

And you are but me

 

Would it then matter

That I slowly pass you by

In mismatching trains?

 

Synchronised movements

Both winding and unwinding

Directional knot

 

The road to nowhere

Is paved with slow intentions

Fast deaths of morrows

 

I know of a cliff

Bordering the Caspian seas

Where tilting brings height

 

Perspectives in thoughts

People of the shadows roam

Between lost and found

 

They crawl through the caves

While you fly in summer skies

To that road nowhere

 

I curse renewed flights

While maps of Time fail my reach

The limited sights

 

Tired raindrops ebb

Shrivelled outposts of the soul

Withered in the sun

 

In Time we will breed

With the tar and our blood’s flow

The crimson highways

 

Rain and sun will kiss

Upon plains of the Tatars

As shadows dissolve

Spins a web of souls

The chances in ice

Celebrations yet dormant

Within Time’s spaces

 

A cramped sky of white

Clouds gathered competition

The silver linings

 

Birds in flights’ starkness

On backdrops of Heavens’ rims

Surrogate sisters

 

A hand on my knee

Pressure of a thousand cries

Purple dreams’ shadows

 

Your tears in my eyes

As wells brimmed with old despair

Crossed darkness in Heart

 

Summer’s painted skies

Contrasting orange for blue

Mythical morrows

 

Perhaps one Winter

I will swim in the lava

That burns within you
