Poetryzine Magazine presents the selected poems by the French-Albanian poetess Mirela Leka Xhava
Trains With fast rail track movements pass images to the windows, moments revolve non-stop in the magical world, destinations, with separation and reception, enigmatic travelers, towards their unknown sitting on the eyelids, someone dreaming. At what time did they stop where they illuminate, where they go out and where they light up, again through the wagons stations of rendez-vous between arrivals and departures. Paris 2022 I'm going Paris the city of lights From the plane it looks like a model of Musée d'Orsay my footsteps will be wiped out by the first rain, when I walked the boulevard towards the subways roads leading to the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame ... The Louvre Museum will remember my hidden tear for the Mona Lisa, Sacré-Cœur cross made under candlestick. I'm going Château de Versailles I left my soul in your royal mirrors, I bow to your majesty with reverence I'm going Paris, *bisous, Au revoir! * révérence-salutation left over from past centuries in France, as a sign of deep respect and not only, bowing and bending the knees. * bisous, -French-kiss Milan Airport (For my family) The skies towards you are always blue no autumn rains, no winter frosts, I turn the horizons into boats of illusions to come to you sooner. Because you are an oasis, where I find
peace
the border of tears, the joy of pain,
between arrivals and departures,
aircraft landings and take offs
my music written for you,
flight over the wings of birds
blue sky,
Milan airport.
Beyond yourself (Futurist) Postpone my weird steps at air stops I hitchhike with robots duplicate programming journey between time and space
with other passengers and other robots, as the flying of the future, perhaps of
yesterday landed at the capital station "TODAY". Somewhere my word travels without me,
on unfinished missions tear my letters, texts, contexts flies without my human weight, but that of
the soul and leave me here,
