Sfințirea clipei și a momentului

Trăiește clipa, trăiește momentul 

Cuvintele astea, înfundat, se aud,

Ca un ecou de mult apus

În cea mai adâncă peșteră a subconstientului.

 

Traiește clipa, traiește momentul

 Bâjbâi, abia apuc de coadă momentul,

Clipa se prelinge macabru de iute,

Alunecând printre degetele mele, aproape moarte.

 

Trăiește clipa, trăiește momentul 

Dar cum? Vă întreb eu pe voi:

Cum să trăiești, în primul rând,

Când abia simțim cum ne poartă viața-n spate?

 

 

Traiește clipa, traiește momentul

 Cu amar și jale cânt doine-n peșteri,

Sperând că răsună peste pustiile câmpii;

Cu lacrimi arse pe obraji, cântecul se frânge.

 

Trăiește clipa, trăiește momentul 

O s-o rostesc ca pe cea mai dragă rugăciune,

Până când clipa o să devină infinită

lar momentul va atinge sacrul apogeu.

 

Trăiește clipa, trăiește momentul 

Iar când tu, alchimistule,

Vei atinge cea dintâi filosofie,

Uşor să-ți treacă sufletul în eternitate.

You Are His Without Being

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.

A Place to Call Home

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.

Portret în alb

Simt a iernii rece gheață,

Șoptindu-mi vag și cu dulceață

Cum mă-ndeamnă să visez

Și-un ultim portret să-i pictez.

 

Precum un sacru jurământ,

Îi aud vocea sus, în vânt,

Și, după multe lupte crunte,

Eu pic lat pe-acel lugubru munte.

 

Stau, ascult și bag de seamă:

Geru-mi cântă cea din urmă gamă.

Fără vlagă, treptat devin greoi

Și-ntrezăresc priviri de moroi.

 

Oare îmi joacă mintea feste?

Sau au primit și ei de veste

Că-n aceste ceasuri de tortură

Cu greu mă zbat la ultima pictură?

 

E ger, și albul mă completează,

În ochi, marea ceață se instalează.

Cu-n gest final, cam dureros,

Închei acest portret tăios.

The Demon and the Priest

Dear gentle reader,

Beneath the pale moonlight,

I have entered your dreams

and whispered softly

the legend of soul ties.

 

Slowly, you step beside me.

Hungry eyes gather in the distance.

The reality swallowing us whole

is nothing but a forgotten battlefield.

 

Your razor-sharp gaze is captured.

 

There, among dozens of rotting corpses,

stand two figures suspended in silence,

like the final pillars of a fallen temple.

 

The first— a broken priest.

 

Wounded, endlessly praying,

his trembling hands, his crooked fingers,

still searching for a fragment of mercy.

 

The second— a gentle demon.

 

Waves of warmth orbit around her.

Her sapphire eyes remain fixed upon the horizon,

calmly gazing into the endless dark.

 

You see them, don't you?

 

Remain still.

Obedience is the key.

 

Watch closely,

for what you are about to witness

will unsettle the deepest parts of your soul.

 

She senses the priest's sorrow

rising above the dead surrounding him.

His misery speaks louder than words.

 

"Take my hand," she whispers.

 

"Drink from my waters.

You have exhausted your strength

for far too long."

 

"My fair lady... my endless cup of hope...

How could a poor soul like mine

ever deserve to reach you?"

 

Like distant constellations,

their paths collide.

 

He drinks fiercely from the source of her light,

while she willingly holds him close,

believing compassion alone

can heal what time could not.

 

"How can this be?

Have I become blind

or simply mad?"

 

"Silence.

Ask yourself what you're truly seeing.

The truth stands before us.

It is only hidden

from those unwilling to look."

 

What feels like thousands of years pass.

 

The priest and the demon

begin studying one another.

 

One— cold as forged steel,

calculating,

entirely ruled by the mind.

 

The other— guided by razor-sharp intuition,

profound empathy,

and quiet emotional wisdom.

 

Again and again,

the priest manipulates, betrays, wounds,

engraving new scars into her soul.

Again and again,

the demon forgives.

 

Once. Twice.

 

Until—

something clicks.

 

The pattern reveals itself.

The spell dissolves.

 

She stands perfectly still,

frozen in time, calculating,

without anger, without reaction.

 

Holding every advantage,

she prepares her departure

in absolute silence.

 

She could have struck him down.

She could have carved wounds

deeper than those he had ever known.

 

But she finally understands.

This is no wounded soul.

This is a predator.

Her sapphire eyes become crystal clear.

 

And then—

she goes supernova.

 

The script shatters.

The roles reverse.

For the first time,

the priest chokes on fear.

 

He was clever.

Subtle as a serpent.

Yet painfully predictable.

She had always seen beyond the mask.

 

She understood him

better than he understood himself.

For the depth of her empathy

could only exist

because it mirrored

the depth of her own darkness.

And his downfall

would become far worse than hell.

 

"He searched for golden nectar,

yet stumbled upon an unknown creature."

 

The dead begin to vanish,

laughing into the wind.

The battlefield collapses

into an endless abyss,

opening its ancient mouth.

 

"Poor little priest...

At last,

you have shaken hands

with your karmic mirror."

Entities Masquerade

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.

The Traveler's Portal

I am just a cub,

Alone in a garden of flowers.

And as much as I delight in being seen by others,

Ilong, with all my being, to finally know myself.

 

As the world pauses to take a breath,

I press forward with quiet courage.

Freedom unfurls its petals within me,

Opening in this very moment.

So I take the leap of faith, and jump.

 

At the beginning of that journey,

The garden feels as though it tears my flesh apart

A disturbingly pleasant sensation,

For I have walked among these realms before,

Before I even knew how to shape sound with my voice.

 

Without rushing,

Without making the water tremble,

The conscious mind gives way,

Leaving space for the adventure to blossom.

So it begins.

 

The traveler's portal opens its radiant chest,

And the cub passes through.

From that realm of truth, I drift back in time,

Peering through binoculars at ancient predators,

Studying their movements,

Tracing them like vines across memory.

 

Once, the creatures noticed my gaze

And though they attacked,

I escaped With only a scratch on my paw,

A scar like a thorn's kiss.

 

I return to the present garden,

But the traveler aches for more.

And so, it begins again.

 

The next realm blooms in Atlantis.

The cub now breathes beneath sapphire waters,

Transformed into a creature of the deep,

A flower of the ocean's secret garden.

 

I drift among coral columns and temple ruins,

Their stories flowing into me

Like nectar through a stem.

My touch gathers their forgotten whispers,

Petal by petal, memory by memory.

 

At last, the fuel of wonder fades,

And the traveler must return.

The garden door calls softly,

Its blossoms swaying in welcome.

 

I leap once more,

And with gratitude,

reality gathers me gently

Back into its fragrant arms.

Cenușiu de gri

Sub cenușa mea de ceară,

Din albi de pleoape castele în veac o să apară.

Trupul meu blând din mormânt se-n toarce, urând tot din tot și toate,

Căci într-un veac.. în adânc au vrut să mă îngroape.

Din lumânări păcătoase încercând să mă adoarmă, pământul mă înțelege și din altar mă cheamă.

Spre fiecare colț de ceară ce cade ușor în țărână, îmi dezgroapă sufletul venind din nou mă cheamă, blestemând pe toți din veac ce au vrut răul meu, vin spre ei cu tăceri de zmeurei.

 

 

 

 

Fiecare prunc crescut, le vor moșteni vina, cu sânge țesut ce vor căpăta lumina.

Cu umbre de ceasuri le vor crește vina,

Pașii lor vor urma pașii morții ai mei,

Spre mormânt să-i ducă, să se-îngroape în frică.

Iubirea n-or mai sta în calea lor,

Vor cosi greșelile rele făcute,

Și când vor iubi, dragostea li se va rupe în palmă, iar singurătatea le vor purta pică.

 

Vin eu vin spre voi blesteme,

Să vă port după mine în vene.

Să-mi port lumânarea curată de lacrimi,

Să plouă în întuneric, în glasul de patimi.

Sindromul Eroului Imaginar

Complet aprins când încerc să salvez,
Morții de viață, de o altă problemă,
Scenariul mă înțeapă până ecranizez,
Crizele prin firele desenate sub dermă,

 

Peste rană, lângă ramă, colorând prin vene, cu spaimă
Orbit de poveste... obosesc,
Slăbit, flămând, mă văd cum cresc,
Într-un salvator problematic, însetat,

 

Portretizat în fantezii sălbatice, îngâmfat,
Salvând ce am pierdut într-un mod stupid,
Oglindit de amintiri – trezit în vid.
Rigid, surprins de noi lumini,

 

Ca un bec stins printre spini,
Între crini înviind o încercare
La recreere, trăind cu secare,
Uit de gust și sper la savoare.

 

Dă-mi doar o direcție,
Măcar o nouă proiecție,
Să uit de proasta adorație
Pentru vise moarte și prezent fără reacție.

Dead

I fell a hole in my life

And I want to tell you

But you're not here

And you won't ever be.

You're dead in the cold earth

And its so hard to know that.

I'm still in shock

And I wanna se you for the last time alive.

I can't see you stand dead in the cold coffin.

I can't see you with your hands on your chest

And with your eyes closed.

I feel like a part of me is dead

And it hurts more then I can ever explain.

I can't...

I can't take it anymore.

Starts to hurt too hard

That I wanna stop it right now.

This isn't fair

I wanted to die

But you wanted to live.

I can't see you dead

Where are so many peoploe alive

And they need you.

I need you to be here with me.

You didn't know what was in my soul or in my heart

But you always where here

Even when you didn't know what was in my head.

I can't see you dead

And everyone crying at your head sayng"goodbye".

I try to keep you warm

But you're too cold righ now.

I want to see your spark from your eyes,

I want to see your smile,

I want to hear your voice again,

I want to hear you pronounce my name,

I want to hug you so bad righ now.

All of them just for one last time.

I want to see you stand on your feet

And walk away from that stupid coffin.

Nu mai ești,bunico

Nu mai ești,bunico

Decât suspin prin aer

Și-un gând ce-l poartă vântul,

Pe-aici din când in când

 

Ți s-au dus si florile,

Care-ți creșteau în palme

S-au dus cu tine toate,

Dar au plecat râzând

 

E goală prispa casei,

Dar nu ți-a șters și umbra

Și parcă-mi faci cu mâna,

În semn de rămas-bun

 

Nu mai ești bunico,

Dar ai rămas prin toate

Ce-au fost cu tine odată,

Cât ai fost pe pământ

Sub acelasi cer.

Sub acelasi cer te nasti
sub acelasi cer te stingi
tu incerci ceva sa lasi,
dar nu reusesti sa stringi.

 

Cind pamintul te va trage
stii ca poti sa te ridici,
insa timpul te impinge
sub acelasi cer te stingi

 

Vei lasa numai petale
pe o margine de drum
tu le string dar totusi doare
parca anii iti aduni.

 

Sub acelasi cer traeste
pretueste orice zi
Chiar si daca te vei stinge
Tu in inimi vei trai.

Perdeaua

O perdea ce mă desparte
Dintre vii și dintre moarte
Care stă ascunsă-n zare
Doar când n-ai noroc apare
Și cum ai clipi dispare
Și se pierde iar în zare

 

Morții o feresc cu ardoare
Vii nu o văd în cale
Dar o lovesc ca pe-un perete
Când pe soartă e pecete
Iar perdeaua are o sete
De noi toți să se îmbete
În doar câteva momente
Ai rămas doar testamente
Și stai printre monumente
Ce de moarte-s permanente

 

Perdeaua de nu te bea
Moartea tot este a ta
Nu aici, nu chiar acum
Dar perdeaua o ține-n drum
Și când o să-i fie sete
Te va bea fără regrete.
