This, the English version, seems to have disappeared from my previous post – it should have been one post.

One of my Prague poems – English version and Czech version (see previous post):

Mother Prague

Bewitched by your beauty

I lost my soul in your streets

Long ago and I return

To you periodically

To drink from your fountain

Of acrid remembrance

To feel the powerful

Grip of your outstretched arms

To hear the steady beating

Of your heart in sync with time

As it continues to pulse

Marching into new millennia
