With passion and freedom and revolt (or Camus’ take on life)

 

With passion and freedom and revolt
Living through pain after pain
Wondering why you’ve been through this
Never-ending hell of the last few
Noah…almost all years
But stubbornly decide to go ahead
And love!
And live.
And proclaim with absurd joy
That love exists.
That it is still real and bound to happen
Not by faith and external prompts
But by sheer persistence to offer it.

With passion and freedom and revolt
Living on the endless ice of existence
Holding on to dear life
Is it even dear?
It is, it is.
For the promise you made to yourself
That those 3 tiny marble elephants
They hold the future:
You know…the middle one is you
The tiny one is an unborn
And un-promised child
And the bigger (but just slightly) one
The impossible-future-love.

With passion and freedom and revolt
Because if nothing really makes sense
You can either give up, give in
Or stop and breathe. And find funny and
true in almost anything.
Morals? Sure, you can have those.
Ethics? Of course.
But freedom: tenacious, steadfast, unshakable
To live in the light aaaand be joyful about it.
Because even if the ice is ridiculously
Cold, and hope is nowhere to be found
Freedom to find that hope is, finally,
At hand.

    Restul va fi scrum

    M-aşez în miez de noapte rece Lângă un gând ce-aproape mi te-aduce Mă strâng încet în jurul lui, tăcută Neîndraznind să-mi tulbur noaptea mută M-apasă dorul meu de tine Şi-L caut, murmurând, pe Dumnezeu Azi este murmur, mâine poate strigăt Acum e plâns atunci fi-va poate doar geamăt Te cer, căci te iubesc în clipe…

    Pressure Points

    Sometimes it’s just dull pain And other times… Like ten thousand arrows Raining down on your soul. Sometimes you think it’s just Another day And then something stomps heavily On one of your pressure points. And every now and again, you pray: Let this not be a day I break! I must not break.

    Si rugaciunea se frange

    De tacerea din jurul tau as striga Cu speranta facuta funie Imprejurul Mainilor ridicate in sus. De durerea ta as plange Si rugaciunea se frange Bucati Si in cioburi se preface cantarea Mi-ai furat si muzica si iubirea Dar am sa caut Necurmat Si eu pentru tine alinul Pe care atata il cauti departe Si…

  • „Circles”

    You know those recurring dreams That keep coming at you! Over and over Same runs, same fears, and same startled waking-up That loop of seeking a way out And failing, and then rinse-and-repeat?

  • Portile deschise

      Stau pe creasta asta bătută de vânt… Fluturând Un steag alb și înalt către mare Cu porțile de la castel deschise Larg! Dar nu se încumetă nimeni să treacă De șanțurile în care cresc nuferi violet Și podul, împodobit cu iasomie. Aștept să arunce ancora o corabie Solii. Cu flamuri aprinse de soare Însă…

    Decay

    There’s a subtle, almost quiet decayOnce a person diesNot of the body – of the life. Dust settles into the spacesFlowers die and leaves rot on the floor, covering itWindows get dirty and the light is muddyNobody’s is here to maintain what was there anymore. Phones stay silent. People stay silent.You stay silent. You stay…
