Magdalena Biela Poems

Written on the wind

Written on the wind the words came one day,
shivering, and tired, and confused.
...

This Autumn I mourn
the fear of a leaf
who paid to October
a fistful of days
...

She wasn't taller than her doll-house.
She was still writing to Santa Claus.
Dark curly hair and wide open eyes
she piously kneeled piercing the skies.
...

I stood silently watching the room

it was my last time there.
...

Weep no more, my Willow Tree!
Fill by tears the ruffled Sea.
Shiver not, hold your breath still.
An it harm none, do as ye will.
...

Emptiness

It was like a shell
without a pearl
...

Sono seduta da così tanto tempo
in questa stazione
senza nome
che confondo i treni che arrivano
...

Please, let me live, give me a chance

of life on Earth to have a glance,
...

V-am spus ca sunt un om periculos
Si nu mi-ati luat avertismentu-n seama.
V-am spus s-aveti pentru persoana mea
Un plus de-ngrijorare si de teama.
...

They stood there smiling in black and white
holding their fingers tender and tight.
They knew the secrets of a past tense heart
they knew of a future 'till death do us part'.
...
