Voice of the Flowers

Cruel Cronos engraved me early,

not with gentleness,

but by hands of shadows

who mistook my springtime figure

for silence,

who thought my tears were seeds easily buried.

I was a sanctuary of lilies,

crushed before the bloom,

a jasmine bruised by shadows,

an innocent violet forced into stone.

Their voices were storms,

their laughter-chains of iron,

and I, too petite to fight,

learned the language of fear.

Yet within me, a sunflower spark

refusing to give up its soul,

rooted itself deeper,

drinking light even from darkness,

whispering: you are more than their hands,

you are more than their cruelty.

So I rose, piece by piece,

a wounded Rose of Venus,

crowned not by shame,

but by the fire of endurance.

Where they carved burning scars,

I carved flourishing constellations.

Where they plucked petals,

I grew wings of lavender and flame.

Now my voice is the garden restored:

not silent,

not broken,

but alive

a testament that innocence stolen

is not innocence lost,

that even from the deepest, darkest wound,

a sunflower can rise

and teach the world

what it means

to see, to feel,

and yet not become a shadow itself.

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.

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."

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

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.

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.

Totul a-nceput..plăpând

În doi şi doi de zero şi un trei

Trecut-au anii, cei mai cei

Golind din noi, noi idealuri si idei

În aprigi ani ce-au tot venit

Noi, unici, vii, măreți copii

Am tot crescut, am şlefuit

Mărețe visuri de argint

Am tot sperat, am tot trudit

Să prindem 20 la Q***, ca mit

Quidditatea ne-a unit

Uitat-am că ne-am despărțit

Fost-am noi văzuți ca slujitori ififlii?

Dar hotărâți în verbul "a munci"?

Sau pricepuți a şlefui, a măiestrii

Estetice şi meritorii, mici şi mari

Repere mii şi mii..şi mii?!

Un răsărit de-acum apus

Din când în când se reaprinde

Ne întâlnim să ne expunem

Simbolice de-acum, trăiri profunde

Pe întâiul celui nou Septembrie..

Din nou, cu toți, pe toate le-om aduce

Vom respira sublim un aer nou, 

De vechi, dar unic Q***, pe buze

* ififliu = lefter

*quidditate = ansamblul factorilor care condiționează sau determină esența unui lucru

*** - contine nume cu caracter juridic , de aceea, numele nu poate fi facut public. Aceasta poezie este scrisa la cerinta unui grup care au lucrat si lucreaza la Q*** in semn de amintire la implinirea a 20 de ani de la infiintare. 

Marius Ene, Elblag, Polonia, 22.06.2023, 13:20

Încă din generală

Ai fost o persoană foarte specială.

Sper să țină până la infinit

Această prietenie de nedefinit.

Nu vă mint când vă spun

Că fară voi aș fi o simplă piatră

Care nu ar cunoaște viață.

Născut îndrăgostit,

Unde in Pererîta își are începutul,

O minte strălucită, Grigore, așa a fost numit,

Ce a avut ca vis să treacă Prutul.

"Nu sunt atâția ochi pe pământ, 

câtă frumusețe-n jur" ,

Poetul spuse-ntr-un citat,

Și că nu exista niciunde un loc mai sfânt

Decât pământul pe care ai fost creat. 

Un om ce nu putea să nu se lupte

Pentru a sa țară ca să scape,

De cele timpuri în care sufletele erau corupte

Și de rele încărcate.

Un om iubitor ce nu putea sa nu se zbată 

Pentru a sa țară ca să aibă într-un sfârșit,

O Independență și o limbă

Ai cărui muncă I s-a reușit. 

Grigore Vieru, un creator al poeziilor, blândul din inima copiilor,

Un discipolul din inima-nțelepților

Și prietenul adevărat al cărților.

O persoana ce va rămâne mereu cu cei iubitori de a lor limbă română,

A poporului românesc stăpână,

Iar Vieru e cel care a reușit să cultive

În sufletul a zeci de generații,

Dragostea de neam și țară 

Prin minunatele creații.

In floarea albastra,stravezie
Sentiment profund,necunoscut gasii.
Dragoste-i?..Dar cine-mi spune,cine stie,
-Tu stii???
-Da,eu stiu!

Priviri amorezate,fara de clipire,
Eu ma pierd si tu in vise ratacesti...
Zi-mi fara cuvinte,de asta ii iubire:
-Tu ma iubesti???
-Da, eu te iubesc!

Iata timpul in doruri ne desparte,
Nu stiu cind ne vom revedea...
E greu si doare,suntem departe,
-Tu ma vei astepta???
-Da, eu te astept!


Zi dupa zi, luna cu luna,
Timpul nu are popas...
Pin-la clipa de "impreuna",
"Sun la usa" a mai ramas...

Fata-n fata,te-nnec in a mea privire,
Regasesc acelasi vis, deja-mplinit frumos...
Si aceiasi mina calda,dar zimbet in nestire...
-Buna, eu m-am intors!
-Scuze...te cunosc???...

Ai mai trecut un podeț

Încrezător și îndrăzneț.

Să împlinești ani mulți!

Și tot greul să-l înfrunți.

Nu uita că poți avea

Bucuria în sănătate a trăi,

Și credința de-a putea

În veselie și iubire a grăi.

Clipe frumoase să petreci

Lângă toți ai tăi cei dragi.

Și-a ta dragoste s-apleci

Că a lor adorare o atragi.

Suflet ferice, cald și adorat

Iubitor, grijuliu și simțitor,

În inimile noastre te-ai ancorat

Precum și într-un viitor înfloritor.

Irina, eşti floarea cea din zori,

Cu ochi senini și dulci fiori.

Când zâmbești totul prinde viață,

Tu esti raza mea blândă,

cea de dimineață!

Irina, eşti un val de gânduri clare,

Ea în marea timpului nu dispare.

Eşti umbra nopții ce răsare în vânt,

Irina ești un cântec și veşnic al sufletelor legământ!

Ești o șoaptă-n univers,

Un nor pierdut în stele,

ce își caută un sens.

Țeși vise în aerul tăcut,

Şi lași cerul gol, de necrezut!

Ești o carte nesfârșită,

Cu pagini scrise-n stele liniştită.

Porți în tine răspunsuri ce nu mor,

Și-n ochii tăi se naște al vieții dor!

Irina fata fericită

Cu zâmbetul cald

Şi privirea rece.

Privesc la stele

Cu gândul ca te voi vedea printre ele

Cobor în deal și în vale

cu gând că te voi regăsi în zori

Orice speranță orice dor

Doar un strigăt de dor

Doar o clipă pentru noi

Doar o eternitate pentru noi ...
