Love
Ice : ansus mannez :
Sowelu ewaz largo feyu largo ewaz sowelu sowelu
northaz ewaz sowelu sowelu :
wunju hagalaz ewaz northaz:
ansus largo largo :
raido ewaz teewahz ur raido northaz sowelu :
teewahz othillo :
mannez ewaz ::

Be still : know yourself :
Move to the light and grow fat : grow with life :
For the light of the double sun is your guide :
Find joy in adversity and your need for truth :
Let talk flow : for wisdom is achieved in defeating weakness :
Vanquish loneliness and stay true to your quest :

Ice : ansus mannez :
Ken othillo northaz sowelu teewahz ansus northaz ken yerah :
Othillo feyu : largo ice geebu hagalaz teewahz sowelu :
Ewaz wunju
Ewaz raido :
Ken hagalaz ansus northaz geebu ice ing ::

Be still : know yourself :
In loneliness we understand the need for others :
The need to converse and find new insight :
Only stunted riches lie within : as winter
turns to bring the growth of spring :
The path of happiness and knowledge
is beset with hardship and doubt :

Ice : ansus mannez :
Ansus largo largo :
Ansus northaz dagu :
Northaz othillo thuraz ice ing ::

Be still : know yourself :
Let words flow as water : transform with words
your inner needs : you are but one : together
we become the wings of the butterfly :

Help...Is this Arabic? Farsi? Are you fluent or just learning? Just curious where you're coming from with this. It's out of my league but I'm always interested in translated poetry. Repetition of "ice" is interesting. Not sure how to respond but reads as Psalms might read in whatever language it is.

Think runes.

Think runes.

When I googled whole stanzas, got nothing. When I googled individual words, I did hit on Middle English a few times. Arabic a few times? Just returned to work after six weeks off for major surgery....would have liked to have seen this when I was home and had the time to explore. Do like what I can read. Very soothing. Almost therapeutic in nature. But, of course...it's love. Thanks for posting this. It is thought provoking.

Thanks.

The runic sections are part mantra, part riddle. The English sections are me acting as google translate, or similar program.

This is kinda far out. Lines like "Be still : know yourself :" or "your inner needs : you are but one : together" make the poem feel very new age to me.

The runic bits seem cool with "Ice" while the english sections feel warmer: "move to the light" "double sun" so there is kinda of a push pull going on there, it almost makes me think of northern Europe, though i've never been there. Sunrise over an icey landscape.

It would be interesting to hear this one performed. I don't think I get it conceptually but its interesting JMHO thnx 4 sharing.

[jeremyyoung]

Thank you makeshift.

Love is a mystery and sometimes takes many forms. The image's you gave me when i read this simply made it even more mysterious like an old english poem from the middle ages. The lines 'In loneliness we understand the need for others : The need to converse and find new insight' i liked because it made a connection with how i feel when i write sometimes. Thanks for sharing.
