From Romania With Love* Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof

From Romania With Love*

Rating: 4.4


Wallachia, Moldavia or Transylvania
Of which you were born
Or you flow from Mt. Moldoveanu
To evolve in the Mures or Siret
Your adolescence soaked with
The sands of God that kisses
The miracle of the Black Sea
Marieta Maglas, as famous
As Timisoara, giving a new lease of life
You blend life, honey coated with caviar of love
You flourish many with a new fate
From Bessarabia to Bucharest
They walk with a glittering smile
A Philosopher, a Dentist and a Poetess
A complete package that could even
Melt Communism, without having
To drip innocent blood
I read your vivid words
Like Danube, it flows back to the Black Sea
The heart of Romanian
The place where you’d drown
All of your poems
Only to be read
As a history
When you’ve become a Legend
Marieta Maglas, save for the last
You’re in your own class
I beget your wisdom
To heal my conundrum




* Dedicated to Romanian Poetess, Marieta Maglas.

Farmers can only harvest what they grow, God assures we only reap what we sow, Your work my dear whether rhyme or prose, Truly, a rose by another name is still a rose. Another stanza but where to put it?
