Saint Valentine`s Day

[Adam Stepinski]

Dear Participants,
Tomorrow is Saint Valentines Day. I hope you will celebrate it and give something to your beloved ones. What do you think of this holiday? Have you ever written a love poem by yourself? If so I`d be delighted to read your poems on this forum.

[Antonella Novello]

Adam, as usual your ideas are great!

I did not know you have written some love poems yourself!!!
I am lookign forward to reading them.

I did write love poetry when I was 18 but it was so sad that I don't think it possible to translate any of my poems into English. But I know a lot written by either Russian or English poets. What to start with...?
Where do I begin to tell the story of what real love can be..?
The great love story which is older than the sea... la-la-la-la- aaaa...
Have you recognized the song?
Or something like this: "We are two birds in love. But the spread of our wings is so powerful that it doesn't let us come close to each other... Oh!. Beautiful.
Happy love!
Nadezhda

You say eether and I say eyether
You say neether and I say nyther
Eether, eyether, neether, nyther
Let's call the whole thing off
You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto
Lets call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart
So if you like pajamas and I like pajahmas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajahmas
For we know we need each other
So we better call the calling off off
Lets call the whole thing off.
It's also a song. A funny one. And very simple to sing.

I like this song!!! Especially the version sung by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
which I can't find in youtube. So I put Fred Astair and Ginger Roger's one.

I found "old" song of James Blunt "You're beautiful":
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

I think that this simple words tell a lot of about person who fall in love ;)

I don't like this holiday, maybe becouse I think that we must fall in love every day not only on Februrary:) But I really like chocolate hearts!

I've been looking for an interesting love poem and I think I've found it. It's a poem of Polish poet, priest and, in my opinion, one of our greatest preachers (last, but not least!;))
I'm just not really sure about my translation...:)
Understanding this poem is not as simple as understanding its words only, I think;)

Jan Twardowski
Earrings
Evening dresses
Perfumes earrings
Long rods of hair
And suddenly despair happiness
to choose wise love
to love the unhappy one
She was walking without sinners and crying bossed around
The shame of naked soul
it's more than shame of naked body

[Adam Urbaniak]

ELDO ,,Walk with me" (fragment)
"Listen, Walk with me Though I do not know completely which way. Walk with me in order to meaning transmit life steps. With me towards sun, maybe somewhere abyss over with me. For luck or for frenzy to dark with me[...] "

In my opinion, is not possible to call this day ,,holiday", because there is custom which not all recognize, name dates from name Holy which has then name-days.

" For a while"

love for ever
the longest
which was to survive so many years
death
storm
with a violet in a mug

pig
came for a while

Great Mikolaj,
Would you describe yourself as a romantic person? Some men say that`s a shame to talk about love. Would you agree with them?
