Leloudia Migdali Poems

Flowers

Flowers can get in your heart and mind
Flowers, both innocent and fine
...

If you love me, no ocean will keep us apart,
mountains or rivers
If you love me, you will find a way to be close to me
Whatever life brings
...

Tears for sorrow that the past is forever gone
Tears for the unexpected awareness of painful truth
Tears for the lost love that was not cherished
Tears for the lost moments that were not shared
...

I look for you

I look for you and you are not there
I seek for you and time to share
...

I see you and me together, forever
Walking barefoot on soft seashores, forever
Holding hands under the moonlight, forever
Listening to the silence of the night, forever
...

Bright eyes, wide smile,
Lovely ears, beautiful lips,
Smart look,
Who would not like that cook?
...

If only I could

The night is dark and cold
If only I could share the silence of the night with you
...

What is this that the thought of you makes me smile, like a child who gets a long desired present?
What is this that makes me twist your name over and over again in my head, whirling me among the clouds?
What is this that makes me speak to myself like a mystified believer in ecstasy?
What is this that has taken away my serenity in my sleep?
...

What is it?
Is it the sweet warm nightfall redolent with fragrant flowers
that shadow the soul in an intoxicating veil or
the bitter cold of a winter dusk
...

Cries of pain, bodies scattered
Blood runs cold, eyes hurt to see
Innocent people running away shattered
A nightmare no one could foresee
...
