For Penny

Για την Πέννυ

Αγαπημένες μου φίλες, αγαπημένοι μου φίλοι, σας παραθέτω ένα ποίημά μου σε μορφή χαϊκού, γραμμένο ειδικά για τη Φωτοσυγγραφική Σκυτάλη #4 που διοργανώνει με μεγάλη επιτυχία η Μαίρη. Πώς σας φαίνεται;

Dear friends, I present you my poem in haiku form, written especially for the Photoliterary Baton Pass #4 that Mary organises with great success. What do you think?

Εμπνεύστηκα από τη φωτογραφία και τη λέξη "ρεζερβέ" που μου έστειλε η Μάνια

Inspired by the photo and the word "reserved" that Mania sent me

Αφιερωμένο στην Πέννυ

Ήσουν η μόνη,

η φίλη μου η μία,

μέσα στην καρδιά.

Πόσες θύμησες…

Παίζαμε, γελάγαμε,

κλαίγαμε μαζί.

Όμως έξαφνα

χάθηκες στο σκοτάδι.

Σε περίμενα.

Ήταν για σένα

το ρεζερβέ τραπέζι,

μόνο για σένα.

Ήθελα πολύ

ένα δείπνο ακόμη,

να σε δω ξανά.

Γύρω οι φίλοι,

όμως εσύ πουθενά,

πόσο μου λείπεις.

Ας είσαι καλά

στο δρόμο που διάλεξες

και να προσέχεις.

Αν ποτέ σκεφτείς

το γυρισμό κοντά μου

θα είμαι εδώ.

Θα στήσω ξανά

το ρεζερβέ τραπέζι

μόνο για σένα.

Dedicated to Penny

You were the only,

my unique friend,

in my heart.

How many thoughts…

We were playing, laughing,

crying together.

But suddenly

you were lost in dark.

I was waiting for you.

It was for you

the reserved table,

only for you.

I wanted so much

another dinner,

to see you again.

All friends around,

but you are nowhere,

I miss you so much.

I wish you to be all right

on the road you chose

and take care of yourself.

If you ever consider

to come back to me

I will be here.

I will arrange again

the reserved table

only for you.

Αφιερωμένο στην παλιά μου φίλη Πέννυ

Dedicated to my old friend Penny

* * *

Με τη σειρά μου, στέλνω τη νέα υβριδική σελίδα μου στην Ανέσπερη και τη λέξη "ονειροπόληση"

και ελπίζω να την εμπνεύσει.

From my turn, I send my new hybrid page to Anesperi and the word "daydream"

for some inspiration.

Used: Mischief Circus images/sentiment, Valerie's background,

stitching and frame.
