“Remedios laughs, but her laughter resonates in another world,” wrote Octavio Paz about the Spanish surrealist in an article entitled, “Apparitions and Disappearances.”

“Men had always been the reciters of poetry in the desert.”
― Michael Ondaatje,The English Patient
…As among dunes you can only see God or who you want. To see.
No assault to the imagination. No questions and whispers by people.
Only the wind carries wishes afar.
A poem soaring above the dunes brings the clarity of music and has the speed of sound.
And we get to see the glassy shine of Orion…
Love among deserts is never the same.
Part of magic deserts by Ivan Fedorovich Choultse.

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.”

“If I had asked people what they wanted they would have said faster horses.” -Henry Ford.
If I had asked my students what they wanted they would have said an English-Romanian translation course.
Not having asked and keeping my head and thoughts firmly outside the box, I ask you to speak English.
I ask you to think creatively and transform your thoughts in a story …
Don’t worry about your mistakes.
As long as you don’t take them anywhere with you or tuck them in every chilly evening … you will be fine…
At my courses I give you the user manual for transforming your thoughts in a simple English story.

December Light
A poem
December is what we are
When love glistens back
the light in the baubles.
We have the White and the Words.
Words that move mountains
tiptoe to touch the stars
whet the wondrous luster of the sea
travel with the wind
glimmer with the moon
Feel not the rejection and foible
of the world.
Words are a soft warm pillow
on which I rest
my threadbare soul
that trod naked
on paths of ice
and thorns.
Words keep my bloodshed
clean on a stave
and in hues of red
a song is made…

Let me take you
At the border of a dream
Lulled by midnight’s
Oars of sleep.
Let me love you
As I would
No one.
Let me taste
your words
Unspoken and lamenting
On the back
Of your tongue.
