Who are you?

Do I really know you better than you do? or
Do I only know how you want to be percieved?
Do I know you as you know yourself, do I know you better?
Do I know you at all? Do you know me? Do you?

When I'm gone will you think of me, as I think of you?
Tell me you will think of me, tell me what you will do.
Tell me I that I care you, I will say it too.
'I care for you, I care for you' tell me if its true!

Tell me why I talk so much, why do I talk so much?
For all I want is to look at you, to gaze at you. To feel you.
But fate won't let me have my wish, an oceans in the way.
You talk to me, what do you say?  'How are you this lovely day?'

Im speechless!

Je bent prachtig
Je bent mijn held
Je bent waarachtig
mooi, ik smelt.

Ik wil je
niet zo'n beetje ook
Ik verlang naar je
niet zo'n beetje ook
Je bent zo mooi
niet zo'n beetje ook
Maar ik ben bang
een beetje maar

okay .. now you translate..

 

[ahhGucci]

You are beautifully
You are my hero
You are true well,
I melted.

I want you
not just a little bit
I long for you

You are so pretty

But I'm frightend

Just a little bit

Bet you can't translate my favourite poem into English, lilliojAnna :

Nessun dorma, nessun dorma ...
Tu pure, o Principessa,
Nella tua fredda stanza,
Guardi le stelle
Che tremano d'amore
E di speranza.

Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun saprà, no, no,
Sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà,
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
Che ti fa mia.

Il nome suo nessun saprà
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir.

Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincerò!

 

[just Anna]

tough one.. but sounds beautiful..

 

[PrinceOfCats]

Voila:

No one sleeps, no one sleeps...
Even you, o princess
In your cold room
Watch the stars
That tremble with love
And hope

But my secret is hidden within me
My name no-one shall know, no, no,
On your mouth I will speak it
When the light shines
And my kiss will dissolve the silence
That makes you mine

No-one will know his name
And we must, alas, die.

Vanish o night!
Go behind the mountains o stars!
At daybreak, I shall conquer!

 

[ahhGucci]

Indeed, love is like war. Love favours those who are prepared to make sacrifices, as does war. Conquering the heart is battle that requires patience. I like that poem.
Anyone else like to contribute?

Do I really know you better than you do? or
Do I only know how you want to be percieved?
Do I know you as you know yourself, do I know you better?
Do I know you at all? Do you know me? Do you?

When I'm gone will you think of me, as I think of you?
Tell me you will think of me, tell me what you will do.
Tell me I that I care you, I will say it too.
'I care for you, I care for you' tell me if its true!

Tell me why I talk so much, why do I talk so much?
For all I want is to look at you, to gaze at you. To feel you.
But fate won't let me have my wish, an oceans in the way.
You talk to me, what do you say?  'How are you this lovely day?'

Im speechless!

I like this one

I thank you dearly. It is dedicated to a person who is fond of purple!

 

[purplelucrezia]

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

Seeing as it is, or was, Alejandro's birthday, I think someone should write a poem dedicated to him. It would be kinda cool. So c'mon.

 

[purplelucrezia]

You should try, considering all those other ones you have written.
Here's mine...

For Alejandro
Alejandro is so stylish and chic
he can advise us all on looking our peak
He's an expert with makeup,
knows about each and every brand
His expertise is surely in high demand
He has pink high tops
oh so cool
they make him look very "old school"
Today's he's turned nineteen
what can he do?
He can legally smoke and get a tattoo
But Alejandro is really at his best
when he's constructing another beautiful dress
He posted one in shimmer and black
That ought to make the great designers clap
He'll be a great designer himself one of these days
Until then though we can only praise...

Happy Birthday Alejandro and all the best!

great birthday-poem purple!!
