Ion Minulescu!

A muted romance!

What do I see?!
Its true?!
Its you?!
How so?!
Arent you dead?!
Youre still alive? !
Oh, clock that had stopped working a long time ago,!
Youve started going backwards now?!

Come! Tell me!

Tell me all you know !
Tell me a lie!
Just say to me!
What you have said to nobody !
Dead,!
Or alive !

What victims have you made!

Since I have lost your track?!
What witch put you through fire!
and into the chest set your heart back? !
And what church saint made you return!
to me again? !

Why do you smile?!

Its true?!
You changed your mind?!
Were not apart?!
We are in love again?!
Or, maybe, you find me!
the same old enemy? !
But do you know how long its been? !

I have forgiven you long back!!

What about you? !
Say Yes !
Say No !
Its just the same!
You know !
Both yes and no, to you!
Are words in vain! !

Are you afraid?!

Why do you hide!
In palms your head? !
Why do you light,!
as at a Bengal fire sign!
your cheeks of porcelain!
and heart of Caliban? !

You answer me! !

I want to know!
Why did you come? !
For me? ..!
Or maybe you just came!
To pour down my throat, like in the past,!
A little Cognac glass!
So I shut up!
And you will scream!
And then suspiciously fade away!
With the voluptuousness of bombs with time-delay! !

What do you say?!

Its true that I guessed right!
The reason why you came? !
Why do you frown without a word? !
What secrets do you still withhold? !
Why do you grind your teeth!
Without a sound?!

Come on! Tell me, what are you gonna do?!

Open your mouth oh, a thousand hells !
and let me kiss!
again, just once!
no, not your mouth !
but your muted response! !
