Two Poems by Stoianka Boianova

BIRDS OF LOVE
I am traveling to you,
my expected beloved man.
The train carries me on its wings.
We will meet in the city below the hills
to tell you the novel of my life.
Rushing birds fly towards you.
The clouds are in a hurry to you.
My heart accelerates its rhythm.
I will reveal my soul in verses.
My intuition tells - we will be together
in God-chosen time on the Earth.
Our love will transform
the prose of life into stellar poetry.

THROUGH THE AGES
We met when God created the worlds,
and filled them with His love.
Then we got lost because we were scattered
in the edges of the universe.
I have kept the memory of you since that time.
Since then, the sun has been rising thousand times,
the moon has been going down thousand times.
I've been waiting for you thousand days,
thousand nights I've been dreaming of you ...
On how many planets I've searched for you.
How many galaxies I have passed with flame …
When we met again, the light erupted.
The world has expanded,
in it were God, you and me.
