One Word For Two Poem by Maria Mitea

What are you doing today darling? what are you doing,
How are your thoughts, but your words?

today I have a word with you, a word, and not an ordinary one,
but a human one, like a confession, darling, let's better forgive ourselves
wild days, no matter how hard we try we won't stop them,
let's stand face to face (we can't forgive each other backwards)
we can't afford to be the dwarfs in words,
hidden words in thoughts guarded by saints,
let's face God and bow our heads in comforting looks
we forget that we have knees, - only earth, a lot of earth,
a lot of earth under our feet and touch, - fingers touch, eyes touch, lips,
let's spread our wings,

We're flying, you'll see, I won't think about where you are and you won't think whom I'm with,
think about it, if we forgive ourselves now everything will remain the same,
we will love each other innocently, like two children: with our eyes, our thoughts, our dreams
heartbeats, tender smile, hand touch, we ll love playing
I will not get sick of you and you will not get sick of me
you won't forget the flowers at the florist,
and the sun will rise only for the sunflowers

the earth will not shake underneath
think about it, if we forgive ourselves now, it will be just the two of us
among love in between loves, among feelings in between feelings
holding hands like two wise old man and woman
we will reach the time that was not born or passed
better let's forgive ourselves now
we forgive ourselves like two sincere elders before dying
