INSIDE (YOUR) TEAR

Inside your tear

I am

At times wet

Other times dry

All heartedly delighted

Never heartbroken

Inside your tear

I am dissolved

Reborn

As Phenix from Dust

For your Love

Always (re) emerging

***

I KISSED THE DAY

 (To my wife)

 I kissed the Day in her lips

She smiled at night

Then in the evening

Dissolved in a dream

She called me

With a view of eyes

Later on

My Day become a light

Overwhelmed a boring darkness

With longing lips

I kissed the Day in its front

It is true

It is not a dream

Nor a fairy tale ….

HIKUP

In today’s morning

A hick up bothered me

At the point

Of minute and hour match

For a moment

My breadth stopped

A finite voice

Engulfed

Came from my throat

As I was taking a break

Even once

A hick up was increased

That it encouraged tears

Aren’t you (my love)

That you name me

In missing morning

Or in sleepless nights

At the absence of love

(Translated from Albanian into English by Peter Tase)
