When Kindness Found Me

Time has passed fast,

Yet it kept me awake

Constantly living that moment,

That spark of eternity,

That ray of glowing sunshine,

Luminous and delightful as the bluebell

Photographed by a pair of big, earthy eyes,

Kept alive on the surface of my retina,

Along neuronal pathways,

Planted like a sunflower seed

Deep inside my consciousness,

Flourishing and thriving,

Sweet as a lavender mousse.

So if the memory of our first encounter

Is delicate as a jasmine flower,

Or mesmerising as a sunset hibiscus,

You, my beloved, are the Rose of Venus

As Aphrodite dances around Gaia,

Leaving traces of red jasper petals,

Keeping us on the path to greater love-

So do you.

As the pure ones walk through the Garden of Eden,

Or as Iris brings the majestic rainbow

As a messenger of the gods,

Growing straight along its path to wisdom,

Bringing strength and boldness

To those who are blessed enough to see

So do you.

I see myself through your onyx-moon eyes,

reflecting lifetimes beneath their dark, still surface.

I hear echoes of my past self in your voice,

soft as falling petals

a resonance of storms I once weathered.

I have walked nearly the same sacred path

though you move swifter than the wind,

speak with the thunderclap of Athena's shield,

and shine brighter than Apollo's first light.

Once, a quiet child,

afraid of the voices of angry birds,

haunted by monsters who wore mortal skin,

now stands like a mountain in stormlight

shaking stone, breaking iron,

unfolding wings carved from suffering.

Power rests within your heart.

You just have to set yourself free

and rise above your painful ashes

as the phoenix is always reminding us:

even darkness serves the bloom.

And with glory and grace,

it rises from the ugliest hell

a constellation redrawn across the sky

for others to witness and remember:

the girl once silenced

is now myth,

is now sovereign.

That pure soul, once wingless,

wove galaxies with trembling hands,

built a world from garden bones

and broken lullabies.

A kingdom rooted in empathy

and crowned with wild roses.

Here, laughter rings like chapel bells.

Here, loyalty is the highest spell.

And respect towers like golden pillars,

engraved with the names of those who dared to become whole.

No damsels here

only queens of the flame,

warrior-poets in velvet armor,

keepers of sacred fire and gentle law.

This is not just a dream.

It is a place to call home.

They descend not wearing velvet robes

stitched from honest stars,

but garments woven

from borrowed halos,

perfumed with white lilies

that never knew their roots.

They speak of stillness

as though silence were a temple;

of gentleness

as though mercy were a language

their sweetened tongues remembered.

They sell the purest serenity

like merchants beneath eclipses,

placing peace

upon polished altars,

asking only

for another soul to kneel.

Do not mistake

the absence of thunder

for the absence of venom.

Some serpents

have learned

to hiss between prayers.

Some abysses

have memorized

the vocabulary of light.

Beneath their gardens

grow neither jasmine nor magnolia

only moonlit pitcher plants,

their chalices open,

sweet with impossible nectar,

waiting for exhausted butterflies

who mistook hunger

for kindness.

There,

the blossoms bloom inward.

Petals become sharp teeth.

Fragrance becomes slow-wave sleep.

Roots become shackles,

coiling around ankles

too hopeful

to question beauty.

They preach stoicism,

yet harvest every trembling heart.

They praise compassion,

yet count mercy

only when it is bleeding.

They glorify forgiveness,

because forgiven wounds

are easier to reopen.

I have seen them—

keepers of immaculate orchards,

watering white roses

with borrowed sunlight,

while beneath the soil

countless sunflower corpses

lie hollow,

their gold devoured

to adorn another mask.

They call themselves shepherds.

Yet wolves have always known

how to imitate

the patience of snowfall.

The oldest predator

is not rage,

it is tenderness

performed

without a soul behind it.

In the deepest caverns,

where no dawn enters,

the ancient serpents

shed not their skin,

but their faces.

Each new smile

another immaculate prophecy.

Each embrace

another silent eclipse.

And those

who truly carry light

never ask

to be worshipped.

They bloom quietly,

like wild chamomile

between forgotten stones,

asking nothing

except stillness.

For real gardens

never hunger

for the sunflowers

that seek shelter.

Only carnivorous flowers

measure love

by what remains

after the petals

have disappeared.

So when they speak

of peace,

look beneath their roots.

When they preach

stillness,

listen for the bones

buried beneath the moss.

And when they promise

to save your sugared soul,

watch,

whether their shadows

lean toward your light,

or away from it.

For the oldest false prophet

was never the loudest.

He whispered

like rain upon marble,

held out

a blossom without scent,

and smiled

while somewhere,

far beneath the earth,

the abyss

opened its mouth

like a flower trap.

He never touched you.

Yet you linger in him

like the scent of damask rose in forgotten temples,

or the shadow of lotus petals

pressed between the pages of a life unlived.

You weren't given,

nor claimed,

but you remain

as Persephone remains between two worlds,

half spring, half surrender.

He sees you

in the gold-threaded robes of Isis,

mother of the hidden,

protector of what cannot be possessed.

You, soft as jasmine at dusk,

yet dangerous as the bloom of belladonna,

a beauty he could never hold

without trembling.

His logic is iron.

His mind, a fortress.

Yet inside,

you bloom like Freyja's garden in Asgard

wild, untamed,

known only to the gods and the ghosts

of those who once dared to love.

He remembers you

in the absence of touch

how your voice would've sounded

saying his name.

Not as a woman made of earth,

but like Aphrodite rising from seafoam,

untouchable and immortal in her effect.

He walks through the world

wearing your memory

like a garland of hyacinths—

invisible,

but fragrant enough

to undo his certainty.

He calls your name in thought

only when Hermes isn't listening.

Because you were not a prayer

you were the echo of something already sacred.

You are not his.

You were never his.

But in the sacred ache

between Odin's wisdom and Hades' restraint,

he worships what he cannot claim.

And so you became

his unseen Nemesis

not to punish,

but to remind him

that even gods must kneel

before something they cannot keep.

You are the iris that opens at midnight,

the secret grove behind his ribs,

where he returns not for peace

but to remember what almost was.

You are his

without being.

Sub clar de luna amară,

Am să-ți cânt despre o primăvară,

Primăvară prinsă într-o buclă atemporală,

Încețoșată buclă într-o clepsidră neclară.

Primul boboc blajin de liliac,

Tras fin ca printr-un microscopic ac,

Crescut la umbra unui nuc posac,

Vioi se grăbea deja să fie pe plac.

Îmbăiat în mireasmă, se dorea să pară,

Desprins forțat dintr-o lume bizară,

Să-și deschidă petalele se ruga seară de seară,

Visând la lumea mare ce îl înconjoară

Amorul pândea să iasă la atac;

Propria-i esență urma să îi vină de hac,

Neştiind că mai bine de un veac

Pasiunea ce o va purta nu va avea leac.

Cei dintâi muguri sfioși cedară

La un încordat ceas de seară,

Și-n astfel de clipe scântei se creară,

Căci în grădină emoțiile aveau să apară.

Pentru regat, iubirea părea a fi un fleac,

Dar nu și pentru noul june liliac.

Văzând cum grațioasele magnolii zac,

Fulgerător, cu un gând trecu la atac.

Și, dacă nu ar fi fost să piară

Această dragoste pură și rară,

Probabil s-ar mai fi dat sfară-n țară

Despre nemaivăzuta uniune cardinală

There comes a time of year

When the grand bargain begins,

Not on the streets filled with vitality,

But in the shadows of the necropolis.

That time when the Four O'Clock flower breaks,

Shattered glass strewn across morality,

Violins echoing through chrysanthemums—

An entire ballad of the false prophets.

And in such a dreadful realm,

The White Dahlia enters with petals shrinking,

Trembling as the winds begin to embrace her.

Two pairs of eyes seize her gaze:

One's Deadly Nightshade,

the other's Devil's Hand.

One is there to devour her soul;

The other to protect and shield her:

Unfortunately, all entities wear masks.

What gleams is venom,

What offers refuge seems lethal.

The first waltz with the broken,

virtuous entity Unfolds in darkness,

Flowers shivering in the aura that surrounds him.

Warnings drip from his affection;

Her vitality seeps into his mask.

The long, agonizing sway ends in tears.

The second dance with the wicked one

Casts beams of pearly light across the floor,

Flickers of hope and sparks tangled in mysterious smiles.

Tiny, precise steps lure her core into an abyss.

She blooms once more

Only to be severed again with the final sigh of her stamina.

What happened to them, you might ask?

Devil's Hand betrays his loving core, vanishing into obscurity.

White Dahlia, dripping tears of blood, continues to bloom

Brighter, fiercer than ever.

Deadly Nightshade aches still,

Hunting those ruby tears with insatiable hunger:

One astray, one reaching the focal point, one hollow within its own elegance.

Ai fost acolo când plângeam,

Ai fost acolo când eram

Fără putere și credință 

Fără o adevărată esență 

Însă tu m-ai ajutat

Și sufletul l-ai mangâiat

Cu a ta inimă dulce 

Ce sufletul îl conduce

Un suflet pur cu inocență

Strălucește blând în prezență 

Ai fost steaua sclipitoare

Te-am văzut din departare..

Lumina ce sclipea 

Inima mi-o topea 

Bătând din ce în ce mai tare

Am văzut ceva in zare..

A fost liniștea uimitoare.

Chipuri triste,chipuri grave,

Cuibăresc pe străzi pustii

Fără uși și fără geamuri

Un culcuș pentru o zi.

Că nomazi am fost odată

Asta ține de trecut...

Azi nomadă-i țara toară!

Ne întoarcem în trecut?

Și-am luat un vin, să-mi fac curaj

Să-ţi spun cât dor îmi de tine

Dar după amarul ce sufletul mi-a ars

Am realizat că nu se merită! mai bine...

Decizia îmi aparţine mie,

Să-mi las o lacrimă pierdută-n vânt

Decât să plâng in fața ta că nu sunt bine,

Iar tu să nu scoți cuvânt...

Mai bine singură, păstrez tăcerea,

Chiar de dorul te mai cheamă,

Din focul stins aprind puterea

Să-nvăț să trăiesc fără teamă...

Căci lacrima îmi va usca pământul

Și vântul o va duce departe, 

Dar eu voi rămâne să-mi aflu avântul

Lăsând în urmă doar umbre deșarte.

Am adormit gândind în van

Dacă-i aievea soarta mea,

Sau poate trece într-un an

Această suferință grea.

Nu-s clipele ce le petrec

Atăt de greu de suportat,

Nici lacrimile ce mă înec,

Ca spaima gândului îngrijorat.

Dacă aș putea să-nfrâng momentul,

Să am puterea de a lupta,

Destinului să-i schimb iar cursul,

S-aduc lumină-n viața mea.

Pe banca retrasa eu te vad,

Si treapad vin spre tine,

Intrebandu-te ce te retine

De-a ma lua-n brate calde.

Ma asez pe banca,

Si vad un om cu chip angelic.

Dar tu rapid te apropii romantic,

Sarutandu-ma usor.

Cu sfiala-mi te pui-n poale,

Iar eu cu mainile goale mangai usor,

Un moment nepretuit.

Doamne, asteptam cu nerabdare,

Aceasta iubire de valoare.

Tu privindu-ma arzator,

Iti soptesc increzator:

Iubirea noastra va fi,

“Pana cand moartea ne va despartii”

Stau pe gânduri şi privesc picăturile cum se lipesc de geam.

Aș ieși un pic în ploaie, poate mă spăl de gânduri și tristețe...

Natura plânge și parcã mă-ncearcă și sufletul meu

Dar e doar o stare.....Şi-aşa, ca și ploaia, va trecel!!!

Mă întreb cum oare-ar fi!?... pentru o clipă de-ai reveni?...

Probabil ochii obosiți, nici n-ar clipi....

Dar sufletul cum oare totul ar gestiona 

Cu-atâta dor ce-a strâns în urma ta?...

Tăcerea m-a făcut să înțeleg că nu e vina ta

Tu ai fost cum ai fost... așa ai fost mereu...

Din noi doi... doar eu am fost problema

Te vedeam special, îmi erai drag... știu!... sună a clișeu...

Te-am iubit... chiar de niciodată nu ai fi vrut să știi asta,

Pentru că nu-ți puteai asuma responsabilitatea iubirii mele...

Deși nu de multe ori știai!... când erai aproape și prea aproape,

Cum inima bătea fioros de tare când eram în aceeași încăpere...

Te-am iubit...chiar si-atunci când timpul ne-a devenit dușman 

Și distanța dintre noi și-a pierdut pașii, in nemăsurate tăceri...

Te-am iubit... deși doar m-ai învățat cum oamenii te-aruncă

Când din senin au valori morale... și te lovești de ei ca de-o stâncă...

Și-am strâns doar deziluzii și dezamăgiri 

C-am avut așteptări prea mari de la tine

De dor, doar eu știu, cât am sperat că-ntr-un târziu,

O minune ai face, și-ai încerca durerea despărțirii s-o ții departe de mine...
