How a poet’s love is written... How is love written when it speaks in angel’s language in haven’s gardens, where the sun shines first in the eyes and mornings are a thank you for tomorrows whom I wait for full of nostalgia, just like the breath you create this world....? We communicate through silence, there where the light drips from the sky and feelings play through the air with a thought’s breeze rising from the soul! In which name shall I call the world today When comparing to the dreams, it is so small Smaller than a fugitive instant of time going to you And it leaves me with this dilemma How can a poet’s love be written...? © Irsa Ruçi (Translated by Stela Xega) Advice for women: ‘How to forget a man...’ You can gather all your friends so you can have a ‘I miss you’ coffee as you see and read what’s inside the cup you can talk about each single day that you dedicated to love cursing hating and swearing to not overthink Insisting that a new dress can bring somehow more peace to you than a past lover; bragging that the light of your eyes was born so it can shine between smiles not between tears! Women are egoist when it comes to their happiness they search the sweetness of life in every breath they take they always find the source of love into innocence A friendly saying; Sometimes women love with the same forgetting speed... © Irsa Ruçi (Translated by Stela Xega) Advice for men: ‘How to forget a woman’ You can go all night long to visit all the public houses of this city with your friends and yet tomorrow morning they’ll find you with A glass of beer in your hands, or with lipstick stains on your neck Drunk from the scent of woman you’ll remember, a little sleepy, the night before when unintentionally you said her name in another language Remembering the first word you said between feelings So senseless, that today i am not even ashamed anymore but I have this feeling to re-say those feelings when a breeze that comes from this manly chest takes them away so they can fly somewhere else You can lock yourself into your room So you can search, into the darkness, the secret solitude of your soul but the melody of rain will remind you Her smile, spoken with the dialect of her heart. And you’ll want to leave far away, to forget everything, Until you understand yourself Just remember that Even tho’ you get tired If a woman loves you still You will never forget her.... © Irsa Ruçi (Translated by Stela Xega) No title... I wrote so many verses for the human being and love the truth humanity and still I could not change egoism cynicism the existence of bitching that made our hearts insensible and our smiles turned into insolence So much that I cannot find humans into humans But just their thirst for greed... I am tired of idolizing the sweetness of the soul that bows down to the virtues like life’s angles with goodness, a little far from haven... Oh. What a terrible thing for a poet who translates the world just like a mirror into his verse when in fact this place is raising hyenas that take example even from stupidity And then they brag about ignorance! Please god; give them a little brain so they cannot extend their shadow on this earth covered by the madness of the sun! © Irsa Ruçi (Translated by Stela Xega) If you fall in love with a poet... If you want to take life easy do not fall in love with a poet! They wake up in the morning and search for the sun to shine inside their soul at night they breathe wishes as they count stars and they see the world as a verse part of his poem that gets better day by day searching life forever. They hate questions, are too lazy to answer they just want to be adored to that point that they give away love from all of their heart a tear is worth an ocean but the smile... ah, the smile of insane people is just like the first flower of May. They do not know how to fake things, they just know and undress you from very mask, in a silent way giving you forgiveness and words so you can not lie to yourself at least! Do not let calmness and peace lie to you no-one better than them know what volcanoes burn inside them as they explode into rebel verses so they cannot fill the beloved feelings with poison. And if it happens to love a poet you will want to drown in the sea of love forget pride, you won’t need it he will be proud of you enough and he will idolize you in every verse so much that you will bow down to the simple things that reveal how great a poet is... If it happens to love someone like this do not think that they are always between the clouds they just refuse reality that is why they idolize another universe built on innocence, grown on wellness and inherited to build the human being. Do not think that you will discover the romantic side if you give them a flowery bouquet you will be a better person if the smell of those flowers you’ll be giving it to a child who has not known the spring of life, yet! If you are sad, do not wait for a poet to wipe your tears he will collect those tears until the last drop in his hands and with these diamonds he will create a colorful picture until you smile again shining light from those eyes Even though a poet will never tell you You will understand that he has the ability to read even your darkest thoughts the places you hide in your subconscious because they will always be guardians of the soul If you fall in love with a poet, you should love life every day they won’t get tired of showing that love keeps you alive and you never die. © Irsa Ruçi (Translated by Stela Xega)
