Poem by ALEXANDRU CHELARU
Poor wandering among one
solstices,
In most humiliating exercices,
Passion Flower, you come back
to life
every day
If even many rising
illusions
sadly pass away…
I bow to the Trinity – magic fire
bleeding
That change rocks in feeble
natures,
Passion Flower, you come
back to life
every day
If even many rising illusions
sadly pass away…
My soul was once a pure cameo,
But, large-hearted, scattered
forming
the Milky Way…
Passion Flower, you come
back to life
every day
If even many rising
illusions
sadly pass away…
Later, the crypts eyes set at
liberty
Saphires, pearls – relievable
divine gift…
Passion Flower, you come
back to life
every day
If even many rising
illusions
Sadly pass away…
