Mountains Calling

 

                 MOUNTAINS CALLING

                 by Sebastian Onciu 

         Sometimes my mind dreams of escape

         Into a magical landscape

         Of lofty peaks that touch the clouds

         So far away from noise and crowds.

        My daring journey takes me high

        To where the eagles boldly fly

         Among strong winds and chilly air

        Into the world around I stare.

      

        I can see it all from here

        There is no mist, the view is clear

        With vast plateaux and winding trails

        And glacier lakes from ancient tales.

       This scenery that looks so great

        Meant to enthrall and fascinate

        A stunning giant work of art

        Will stay forever in my heart!

At the Citadel's Gate

          

         

       I'm standing in front of the gate

      Thinking about the citadel's fate

      The past is ready to unfold

       As soon as I cross the threshold.

     Feels strange to travel back in time

     To darker days and harsher clime

     When people fought for their lives

     With armours, swords, axes and knives.

     Invaders came resolved to plunder

     To take it all, strike like the thunder

     But their efforts were in vain

     All they received was misery and pain.

    Cause those who lived inside the walls

    Responded to their ruler's calls

    They battled with honour, courage and skill

    And never bent to their visitors' will.

   Those troubled ages are long gone

   The fortress still lies under the sun

    So even when the hope seems thin

    Eventually the good will win!

Au Bord de la Rivière

 Voilà une petite surprise... Pour la première fois, un poème en français! My first ever poem in French!

          

          

          

 

        

        Je me promène au bord de la rivière

        Je sens la brise du vent dans l'air

        J'avance un peu au centre de cette île

        Et je m'éloigne du bruit de la ville.

      

      Sous le soleil qui brille avec douceur

      J'admire des choses près de mon coeur

      Les sons de la nature, les arbres majeusteux

      Et le movement tranquil de l'eau!

       Dans ce sanctuaire de la beauté

       Plein de splendeur et de sérénité

       Je marche sans hâte et sans souci

       Oh, quel bonheur de me trouver ici!

Autumn Sun

       May the sun shine bright

       On cool autumn days

       Fill our souls with light

       And its gentle rays.

       May it lead our trip

       On life's winding trail

       Never let us slip

       With it we can't fail.

      May it take us far

      Into stunning lands

      Be our guiding star

      Through woods, plains and sands.

     May it bless us all

     With its radiant glow

     Chase the darkest fall

     Let our spirits grow!

Human Nature

             

              

           

              

        There's good and evil in us all

         One day we're high, one day we fall

         There's light and darkness in the mind

          That is the nature of mankind.

         We strive for wellness, we find pain

          We love the sun, yet we get rain

          We need each day to be intense

          We want our lives to make some sense.

          There's so much yet we need to know

          Yet our progress still seems slow

          But even in the darkest night

          We never stop searching for light!

Off The Beaten Path

   

 

       I'm going off the beaten path

      Away from stress, madness and wrath

      In woods where whispers call my heart

      To the unknown I dare depart.

      A world of secrets waits for me

      So many things to do and see

      I feel no pain and no despair

      There's only beauty in the air.

     Each step unveils a new delight

     And everything around is bright

     I feel that nature's my best friend

     I wish this trip would never end!

    The trail is over, I'm not sad

     My mind's at ease, my soul is glad

     I took the road that leads away from sight

     And off the beaten path found joy and light!

Tyrants

 

They are the cancer of the world

To evil their souls are sold

They always hang on to the power

And make peoples lives sour.

Always possessed by green and lust

Seeking revenge and killing fast

Make others suffer for their pleasure

They show no mercy and no measure.

But strong as they may be today

One day their turn will come to pay

Their reign of terror will be gone

And hope will rise under the sun.

Beware, dictators, of those times

When justice is done for your crimes

No one will be under your spell

Instead you will be sent to hell!
