English/Czech - Waterfall/Vodopád

Today's poem is another one inspired by the abstract paintings of Ivan Pavlíček.

WaterFall

My tears are
Hidden in
The wet dew
Drop sparkle
Of the sun
Shining through
Loneliness

My sorrow
Cascades down
Into a
Deep green pool
Of more brand
New days spent
Without you

Vodopád

Mé slzy
jsou skryté
v kapkách mokré rosy
třpytící se skrz osamělost
v slunečních paprscích

Můj žal
valí se dolů
do tmavě zelené tůně
dalších zbrusu nových dnů
strávených bez tebe

Back Story Re: Abstract Poems - Intro to Ivan Pavlíček

Ivan Pavlíček and his paintings

When I was in Prague in September, I met Ivan Pavlíček, an artist who paints abstracts on metal and sells them on Charles Bridge.  I was immediately taken with his work and I bought 5 of his small paintings (the ones with the white borders stacked upright in the tray by his leg).  The poems to match the little paintings came easily to me - the first one started forming as soon as I saw the little painting.  I wrote 3 poems in Prague, 1on the plane home and 1 in January of this year. It felt as if the paintings were dictating them. 

  

I was asked to write the poems in Czech as well and that has taken me a few months to do and I am still working on the last one. 

I posted the 1^st poem 2 weeks ago.  Tomorrow I will post the 2^nd in the series of 5 (English and Czech).  I hope you will enjoy all of them.
