POEMS ON LOVE AND TOLERANCE

               

Alone

When you wake up
You´re alone.

You have your breakfast
- of course on your own.

Waiting for the bus
you´re surrounded by many pairs of staring eyes.
-  Nonetheless you´re alone.

Having lunch with your ´colleagues´
It´s like torture:
- you can feel their presence only in the flesh but not in spirit.

And in the evening when you come home
You know this is not the last day when you have to be alone.

 

 

The world is full of colours:
black, white, red, brown, yellow.
Shouldn´t they fill our lives
with joy, love, enthusiasm?
But what do we do?
We hate
We despise
We repulse
where is harmony, peace, tolerance?
Where is the big, happy family
And the perfect life together?                                  

 

 Love
At first sight
Beautiful words
Tender touches
Hugs and kisses
Sweet love
Burning hearts
Happiness
      Suddenly
      Disappearance
Harsh words
Bitter tears
Frozen feelings
Anger and hate
Sadness
     What happened?      

       

                      

Your eyes are beautiful
though they aren´t real
One day you are like an angel
on other day like a devil
Your features are amazing
But I can´t do anything
This is stupid
I mean my lyrics.

 

Your eyes are like stars in the sky
I see them now.
Your hair shines like a candle in darkness,
I feel it now.
But the sun won´t shine without
your love.
Don´t you know?                                       
                                                 Arto Pantsar

 

Your eyes are beautiful though
they are glass.
Your dress is red, but it´s broken.
your rubberboots are shining in
summer night.
We run to the hay barn and you
fall, you hit your head to stone
and you die.
Now tears run free like water
in a river.

 

It is a warm summerday.
I think about you.
I saw a flower,
that brings up you.

Summer wind caresses my face,
I feel you, here, with me.
A midnight moon
I saw your picture.

Oh, my darling. I miss you!
Please, stay with me!                              

 

Two hands
trying to reach one and another
over the dividing sea,
over the prejudices of the people,
over the cultural boundaries,
and over the hate of their families.
Black and white hands,
reaching, stretching, so close to touch
but yet still too far.
Maybe tomorrow they will succeed
Maybe tomorrow there will be more hands
Reaching over, connecting
Maybe tomorrow the seas between them
together.
Maybe tomorrow we can create a strong,
united world
where white hand touches the black hand,
yellow hand holds a red one
and people are smiling
until the sun falls upon them. 

  

 

You and I                 

We are so different, like a day
and night. But still we are perfect
to each other, like the sun and
the moon. And some day we will
be together in the same world,
and you will be next to me.
Always…

What does it take to keep your faith
if you have to pay only live for a day.
Too many why´s, need to get advice
That shouldn´t always cast the dice.

Now keep your way, let nobody say,
whatcha do, whatcha want, they´ll
give you wrong.
Just hold it right, pull off the fight,
that´s right, oh my gosh that guy
is tight,
Mellow out fellows and join to
the chorus cuz the way it is
you cannot freeze, have to
breeze in to win and life will
begin,

So keep your thing and that´s
what I´m in.

Try not to hide, be brave to show
your other side.
If you want to be more,
So whatcha living for?

Every day is a new play in my life
Cannot believe I was running out
of time.
It´s gonna be hard to realize, just
give it a thought and open your eyes.

Not any lies, get ripped out of your vice
You´re not a devil in disguise.             

Needless to say, do it in your way
You only have to pray, just live
for a day.

ALKUUN

Silent whisper in the night.
Pale moonlight dancing around.
Broken heart, reflected by the pale moonlight.

Noble lady sitting under the sky,
watching as the time goes by.
Bright beautiful shooting star
flying through the night sky.
Lady under the starlight being
lonely as the falling star.

Love, once so tender,
ripped away, buried
in the cold winter ground.                               

 

Love poem


I do what I can
no one should this ban
now I am just humming
but I find myself jamming
and huffing, because I saw
this is not a heart attack
My feelings
your earrings
I´m eating
eating, euphoria.   

 

Where were you?
It was the time.
But now…
Everything is gone.

At all costs
We will be together
But first…
Must we lapse into damnation.    

 

 My poem

Yes, I know. It is difficult,
sometimes even fearful but also
quite startling.
I like it so
and I hate it so.
It gets me to sob.
Yes, I know. It is love.                          

 

Love is a roller coaster
One day you might be happy
Another day you might cry.
But if you love your darling,
you can make it right.

Look around,
do you see?
So many things
have changed.
And you should know
by now.
I never meant to
hurt you, at all
In my life
I have been
an outcast, but now
I´ve been reborn
And now
I see things so clear.  

 

You and me waiting
on the beach.
Just we
and a few little birds
singing their song.

What we need is
only each other.
Nothing more only
you and me
and our pure love.

Everything else disappears
when we are together.
We get blind to
the outside world.
So strong our love is.

But where are you
love of my life?
Where can I find you?
When will this
all come true?                                      

 

There are some voices
that you couldn´t hear.
There are some feelings
that you couldn´t understand.
Only one thing is that couldn´t disappear.
It´s love.
Love is a mystery that you can´t hide.        

 

Colours on the palette,
fish in the ocean of diversity,
bright stars in the universal sky
with different points of departure
but with the same goals,
snowflakes on the retinas of children.                   

 

Joyful faces around the fire
are laughing, smiling with the moon
one of them is awful lier
in his voice is a jarring tone.
At lightning speed he takes up arms
and swallows somebody´s life away.
Relief, there aren´t left any harms
the Stranger is gone some other way.

Don´t walk too far,
Don´t cross the oceans
Love you can get
and love you can give
Without moving too far.             

We don´t need a nightingale to prove it
We don´t need the stars
to make it real
The seed of love lies in the two of us.           

 

Love,
    can taste as bitter
    as a tart grape,
    yet as gentle
    like a summer gale.

Love                 
    so fragile
    I´m afraid
    of my breathe to take
    to shatters will it break.

  Love
     like a harrow
     pain inside my head
     causes me sorrow
     lull insane to death.
