-ing

Knocking down walls
With my poor choice of words,
Spitting them with bloods
Of higher angels and of lords,
Making me shiver
Inside this body of dust,
Chewing my own liver
And throwing up my trust.

Losing the life
I once lived alone,
Swallowing the knife,
The water and the stone,
Living again
In vain.

Svetlana

Svetlana, I hated you when I was little.
You marked my boy, you bitch of brittle!
I hated you when he was lost and crying,
And when he still loved you while he was dying.
Svetlana, I do not even know you,
But do you know the damage that you do?!
I just heard your name out loud
And here you are, just like a cloud.
Svetlana, won’t you go away?
Be gone, be there, be stray.
I hate you cause I hate myself,
And I think I need some help.

Nume

Ma rogi sa scriu cuvinte
Pe care le-as pastra doar pentru tine,
Si simti ca tot ce am in minte
E-n suflet pentru tine.
Ti-e dor de ce nu as putea pastra
Din tine si de tot ce am avut,
Asa ca in privirea ta
Vad tot ce noi nu am putut
Avea, spune, simti si imparti.
Uneori mai cred ca suntem doua parti
Ale intregului ce s-a imprastiat in lume.
Spune-mi, mai stii sa-mi zici pe nume?

Sarut

Sarut de menta, sarut de vara,
Sarut aprig de fata de la tara,
Plimbata-n praf si-n iarba de afara,
Cand te-oi vedea eu iara?
Sarut de soare, sarut de mare,
Sarut satul de-atata plimbare
Prin sate necunoscute si amare,
Dupa nori si cer si zare.
Sarut de cald, sarut uscat,
Sarut pe cine mi te-a dat
Si, poate, pe cine te-a lasat
Pe franghia dorului la pat.

27

Welcome to the club,
We’re all human and in pain,
We have no end and no beginning,
No way to gain
People or money,
We are just drinking.
This is a game,
We play it all the same.
When 27 calls,
I will be there.
Pick up the phone,
God damn it!
It’s chilly on this throne,
And I am almost gone.
I think I’ll quit.

The Road That Wasn’t

I sleep with my eyes open,
Wishing to sleep when I’m dead.
And from all the truths that are spoken,
I choose my bed instead.
Throughout the rocky mountains,
Swimming this river of blood,
I stop and drink from all the fountains
And eat the mold, the fungi and the mud.
