That we don’t care about each other, It’s the final stability?
Or just a word calling with our mouth,
Without love as a basis?
What do we think is the meaning of peace,
In our ideal dreams?
Without a war,
Is that the true harmony?
Or a temporary emotion just because of special pity?
It’s the crack in our hearts now,
There is something wrong with our consciousness!
Stopping greedy desire can make the wandering love return,
The light of the world isn’t only at daybreak.
The excuses for attack is always prosperous,
But follow the love should be our special faith.
Even if the future is a jacket with bloody existence,
Everything is possible,
The fire symbolizing freedom isn’t extinguished.
By James Tian – China

Significato
Quale pensiamo sia il significato della pace,
Nei nostri ricordi ingialliti?
Siamo così egoisti
Se non ci importa l’uno dell’altro.
È questa dunque la stabilità finale?
O è solo una parola detta con la bocca,
Senza l’amore come base?
Cosa pensiamo sia il significato della pace,
Nei nostri sogni ideali?
Nessuna guerra,
È questa la vera armonia?
O un’emozione temporanea solo per un momento di compassione ?
È la crepa nei nostri cuori ora,
C’è qualcosa di sbagliato nella nostra coscienza!
Fermare il desiderio avido può far tornare l’amore errante,
La luce del mondo non è solo all’alba.
Le scuse per l’attacco sono sempre numerose,
Ma seguire l’amore dovrebbe essere la nostra fede speciale.
Anche se il futuro appare adesso come un abito insanguinato
Tutto è possibile,
Il fuoco che simboleggia la libertà non si spegne.

The world needs to let the endless desires lose their freedom and chiefs.
The smoke of gunfire hasn’t disappeared completely,
Why do we pursue the conquest and killing always?
Please care those sad voices come from the heart of the stars,
Just no sense to lose the bright sky even if it’s conquered.
Fortunately, hope still exists,
The sincere friendship we give each one every moment,
The melody of harmony has been played.
JAMES TIAN, CHINA

Fuoco e fiori
Il luogo dove il ghiaccio e la neve non si fermano
è Il luogo dove la luce del sole può sorridere come un bambino.
Il luogo dove la paura non può ruggire,
È il giardino dove i fiori sognano
L’amore di cui abbiamo bisogno
Il tempo è senza parole.
Offrire una possibilità a quanti soffrono
È anche fare a se stessi una gentilezza.
La lotta non è ciò che vogliamo vedere,
Il mondo deve lasciare che gli infiniti egoismi scompaiano con i loro capi
Il fumo degli spari non è svanito del tutto,
Perché perseguiamo sempre la conquista e l’uccisione?
Sentiamo quelle voci tristi che provengono dal cuore delle stelle,
Non ha senso perdere il cielo luminoso che abbiamo conquistato.
Per fortuna, la speranza esiste ancora,
L’amicizia sincera che diamo a ciascuno ogni momento,
È stata suonata la melodia dell’armonia

because of the blossomed orchids on my living room’s window
and no one could ever feel the scent of pine trees
that is coming from my back window
–
and no one, no one at all
can see the invisible resin of the past
laid on the coffee table at which I entertain guests
with Greek coffee, Turkish delight and German chocolate
and when I speak аloud in my sleeplessness
no one, no one at all can hear
how the day crumbles in me
and comes into pieces again all at once as X-ray does
so no one will ever point finger on my naked body

CASA DEI CONTRASTI
Quando apro la porta d’ingresso per entrare in casa mia
attraverso la porta sul retro la mia ombra esce
e nessuno vede l’inondazione nella mia stanza di lavoro
per le orchidee in fiore alla finestra del mio soggiorno
e nessuno potrebbe mai sentire il profumo dei pini
che viene dalla mia finestra sul retro
–
e nessuno, proprio nessuno
può vedere la resina invisibile del passato
sul tavolino da caffè con cui intrattengo gli ospiti
con caffè greco, delizie turche e cioccolato tedesco
e quando parlo forte nella mia insonnia
nessuno, proprio nessuno può sentire
come la giornata si sgretola in me
e si scompone tutta in una volta, come sotto i raggi X
così nessuno punterà mai il dito sul mio corpo nudo

Un amante stanco anticipa l’inverno inzuppato d’insonnia nella sua stanza.
Ritorna da una notte angosciata, carico di donne; donne che lo hanno immerso nel turbamento di amari desideri e tuttavia lo affascinano con le loro braci femminili.
Ora, spegne l’ultima sigaretta.
I loro occhi viaggiano verso la strada lontana del desiderio.
La bella signora vaga tra le sue palpebre, tocca delicatamente le sue pupille, attraversa le sponde del sogno viene da lui
Ti amo, le dice.
Splendidi incantesimi scorrono dalle guance di lei
Che lui fissa a lungo
Fino a quando la luna brilla nei suoi occhi; una luna stremata dal desiderio.
Si avvicina a lei, la circonda con le braccia … ma lei lo abbandona, vola con le sue rose verso un altro cielo.
Alla fine della notte si sentì solo I suoi occhi pieni di sofferenza, gli sembrò di precipitare nel vuoto
Non si accorse che la bella signora era sdraiata vicino a lui, nella sua stanza, e da un muro lo guardava attraverso la cornice di un ritratto con gli occhi chiusi.
A Lover on the Edge
A fatigued lover throws himself into a winter, Filled up with emotional sleeplessness
In his room.
He returns from a distressed night
Burdened with women;
Women who rolled him down in prolonged agonies
Of embittered desires,
And still, captivate him with more embers of femininity.
Now, he is extinguishing his last bitter cigarette; His eyes travel towards a faraway path of wishes; The gorgeous lady passes through his eyelids, And softly touches his pupils,
When she crosses the shores of dream Towards him.
At the beginning of the night,
She comes to him;
“I love,” he says to her.
Splendour charms stream off her cheeks, At which he stares for so long,
Till a faint moon shines in her eyes,
A moon, exhausted by desire.
He approaches to her,
Passes his hands on ………
But she deserts him,
She flew with her roses into the skies.
At the end of the night,
He was lonely;
With eyes bristled with misery,
He was about to submit to the void.
He noticed not that the gorgeous lady was laying close to him, In his room,
On a wall overlooking him
From the frames of a portrait
With sleeping eyes.

He asks me to enter the room where the magic happens.
All about are boxes upon boxes.
Some are sturdy but many if not most are not, crumpling under the weight
of poetic thoughts and ideas that separate us from the animals.
The younger towers stand fairly strong compared to their elders,
which bend and lean perilously over the precipice of the floor far below.
I am asked to help rehabilitate what can’t seemingly be recovered.
But my wise father calls out instructions of what goes where.
I shake my head, but as the good son I’ve always yearned to remain in his eyes,
I do as I’m told.
I pick up the poor broken-down boxes, spilling out papers of many colors
and put them where they belong.
Arranged and rearranged yet again, so that one day they will become
what they aspire to be.
Books standing proudly on shelves, and occasionally finding their way
into the hands of those who have the depth and introspection to absorb the words that somehow have survived to live on, perhaps far beyond when they emerged from the womb of their creator, and so on.
When I have temporarily finished the task,
I turn around and still shake my head at the landscape and try to push back
at the inevitability of things staring back at me.
Yet my father just stands there smiling, for order to the disorder has been restored.
Until the next tower that requires my father’s son’s services.
