Voice of the Flowers

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.

When Kindness Found Me

It happened on one blue day

when my petals were bruised,

and my spirit almost hung itself,

no longer bearing the weight

of being an immortal light source

in a time of forgotten prayers.

 

I was nearly weeping

not in storms that swallow the world around me,

but in the language of scorpion grasses at dusk

soft, bowed, barely blooming.

 

He came like a gentle comet,

not as a man,

but as the guiding Hermes

a smile, soft as sacred crocuses,

carrying no judgment,

emerging from a cold land,

gently touching the unopened bud

of my fragile sorrow,

just to remind me:

someone still sees.

 

Then came the embrace

two arms wrapped around

like vines of honeysuckle

entwining the walls of my cold cathedral of solitude

with warmth and grace:

a tulip and hyacinth embroidery.

 

I did not flee from that sacred place,

not because I forgot Eros,

but because I remembered Persephone,

longing for the sun,

wandering through labyrinths of wonder

even in Hades' hasty gentleness.

 

But guilt arrived

on a shocking wave of pain,

measuring the weight of my heart

against a moment I did not ask for

nor did I deserve it,

yet I allowed it.

 

Not ashamed for desiring a mortal feeling,

but for that pale flicker of bloom

that rose inside my crimson heart

and dared to face the sun.

 

Yet even so,

I crossed no sacred boundary,

and kept my faith to Hera's vows

my trembling hand bore no corruption,

only the scent of oleander.

 

Now I return

to the sacred garden I tend with care,

to the altar of my chosen love,

where trust grows like lavender

at the gates of devotion.

 

He saw me unguarded,

but I see myself whole again

a celestial being reborn beneath the stars:

not untrue or disloyal,

only open,

only tender,

only alive.

A Broken Sunflower

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.

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.

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.

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.

Grădina speranței

Sub lumina blândă a unei zile senine,

În grădina unde speranța se înfiripă,

Se deschid petale de iubire și căldură,

Pe alei de taină unde viața încă pulsează și respiră.

  

Cei care veghează, ca brazii tăcuți,

Cu mâini de lumină și zâmbet de flori,

Îndrumă pașii obosiți, cu glasuri de crini abia-nfloriți,

Și alinarea curge lin, ca un râu printre izvoare pline de dor.

 

Boboci și stejari cărunți,

Găsesc în atingere și cuvânt o primăvară nouă,

Învățând că-n fiecare clipă de suferință,

Se poate să înflorească curajul și speranța cea nouă.

 

Dragostea lor nu se rupe, nu se frânge,

E floare nemuritoare în clepsidra timpului,

Și chiar dacă umbrele trec peste clipele fragile,

Întotdeauna rămâne parfumul cald al grijii.

  

Și noi, ca frunze ce tremură la adiere,

Învățăm să fim răbdători, să ne lăsăm purtați,

Căci aici, în acest colț de grădină miraculoasă,

Durerea devine floare și speranță.

Mi-e dor de sat Veşnicia s-a născut la sat. (Lucian Blaga)

Mi-e dor de sat, unde veşnicia e la ea acasă,

Mi-e dor de sat unde vinul stă limpede în ulcior,

Unde pâinea e tăiată în două şi e pusă frumos pe masă,

Unde mă aşteaptă un suflet sfâşiat de dor!

Mi-e dor de sat, unde primăvara pomii sunt în floare,

Mi-e dor de sat, unde miroase a pită coaptă!

Unde se-aude susur de izvoare,

Acolo veşnicia cu adevărat mă aşteaptă.

Sophiei, la nouăsprezece ani

Astăzi, printre șirurile de gânduri

Ce se-nfiripă într-o plăcută clipă,

Dau frâu liber versurilor în rânduri

Și sentiment de bucurie se-naripă.

 

Adăugând încă un an în șirul vieții,

Dorim să fie piatră prețioasă-n salbă,

Și slove-n cântec dăruite frumuseții

Ca tu să poți păși mereu pe cale dalbă.

 

Să răspândești parfumul de succese,

Să culegi roade din pomul reușitei,

Realizări să fie în toate cât mai dese,

Iar pe frunte, lauri pe măsura conduitei!

 

Ca un bujor să înflorești pe scena vieții,

Să declami cu voluptate mii de replici

Ce-nviorează sufletul ca roua dimineții

Și-n arta vorbelor, talentul să-l multiplici!

Жена

Каждый выдох,каждый вдох,

Дарит мне твою любовь.

Буду я тебе верна,

Ведь я будущея жена.

 

В моих глазах,

Твои прекрасные очи.

Мои дни как кошмар,

Не имеют дня и ночь.

 

Мой любимый человек,

Миг и век.

Мой любимый человек.

Буду ждать,

Того дня когда встретимся.

И вчера.

Eminescu, Te Iubim!

Ai trecut cu brio timpul,

Nemuririi mângâiere,

Și-ai lăsat în urmă-ți gândul

Scris în zeci de giuvaiere.

 

Nici modest, nici îngâmfat,

Ai fost OM în toate cele;

Ai fost ghimpe la Palat

Și Luceafărul din stele.

 

Ai adus în lume dorul,

Ai făcut-o să viseze,

Însă ți-a lipsit decorul,

Și-au uitat s-aprecieze.

 

Judecat pentru nimicuri,

Din invidii inventate,

Le surâzi, senin, de veacuri,

Geniu, din eternitate!

 

Când vrăjmași și trădători

Țara vând, fără de frică,

Versul tău le dă fiori,

Iar pe noi ne tot ridică.

 

Gând scăldat în praf de Cer,

Azi și mâine și-n tot timpul,

Lumii dăruit mister,

Sa fii plans de-ntreg Pământul!

 

Astăzi este despre tine,

Despre viața ta de chin;

Neuitat, rămâi cu bine...

- Eminescu, Te Iubim!

My friend Irina

My friend irina

She smiles

She’s ok

She encourages

She dreams

She is always there for me

She gives a hug im all ok

She says she’s fine,they’ll believe the lie

But i see behind that fake smile

That fake “im fine” that she usually says

From a mile i can see her tears imprinted on her face

From a mile i can see the scars on her tired forearms

She says she’s fine

But she hurts herself,with words and blades

With pills and fake affirmations about herself

I try to help,i try to smile,just for her

Not anybody else

I see her puffy eyes when everyone just says good bye

I stay by her side all the time,hopping she will open up

But im just there

A burden on her back

She says she doesn’t mind that

But she has a lot on her beautiful mind

My friend irina

She cries

She screams

She cuts

She dreams

I wasn’t there when she tried to take her life

But i was there when her heart broke into millions of pieces

I gathered them all in one

Replaced it with all i had

Hopping she ‘ll go back

To being fine and all that

 

My friend irina

Everyone just sees a girl

With eyes and lips and thighs

I see a strong women fighting for her life

With tired brown eyes,like the hot chocolate on a chilly  night

With her curly hair like the waves of the ocean on a breezy night

With her broken smile that she gives me when im not alright

With the clothes she wears to cover up her past

A girl like her you’ll never find

She’s unique and kind

Broken at the same time

Trying to glue her back

Im losing her  just like that

Everyone just says she’s fine

But i see behind all that

They found out about her past

The scars on her arms

That’s all they see

Her past

Her “mistakes”

She overthinks over stupid airheads

About everything she has

 

She changed

She changed a lot

Into good into bad

People don’t care

They don’t see her for who she is but only for her mistakes

They judge

They laugh

They make “funny” jokes about all that

They say things they should  not

I try to erase everything they said

But its set in her mind

The words are making her go mad

I try to change her mind

Before she takes what she has

I try to stay calm,when im freaking out

I try to say its fine when she freaks out

I say it will be alright

But all she does is say “im fine”

You’re not

You’re sad,and mad

Happy and glad

You tend to be there for everyone when you’re falling apart

 

My friend irina

She says she’s fine

She says she won’t do it again

She makes promises to herself the others might brake

She stays true to her mind but lies to her heart

Im here for her but she is not here with me

Im here for her but she disappears

She takes refuge in her mind

Thinking its safer that real life

Im trying to wake her up

Im trying to make her stay

Im stealing her bad thoughts away

Hoping it will make a change

But they multiply by the day

Making her want to go away

What should i do

Say goodbye or fight for her life

 

I tend to smile all the time

When people are around

So they thing she is better now

But when there’s only the two of us

The bridges fall down

She tells me her worries but not fully

She tells me i didn’t do anything but the truth is ,it’s all my fault

Hopefully she will be fine

She will win this battle with her mind

I’ll be the shoulder that she can cry on but also the soldier fighting for her  life

I’ll be there

With my whole mind

I’ll be right there behind

Always ready to fight back

 

Im here

I’ll always be here

 

My friend irina

She smiles but if i don’t do anything i will lose her like she lost her mind,i won’t let that happen ,i will be on watch all the time

Don’t worry

We’ll fight together

For the rest of my life

 

That’s my friend Irina

She is truly the best

That’s why

She has to stay

Odorului meu

Te iubesc, dulceaţã micã, te iubesc,

Mai mult decât pe-orice suflet omenesc!

Şi nu e pe lume soare

Sã arate cât de mare

Este dragostea pe care

                   Ţi-o nutresc!

 

Tu în casa noastrã strâmtã ai venit

Cu ales şi scump şi vesel ciripit!

Anii repede zburarã,

Uite cã eşti domnişoarã

Mândrã, ca o lãcrimioarã,

                    Negreşit!

 

Au trecut aşa de multe primãveri

Şi s-au stins în timp, precum ziua de ieri!

Lasã supãrarea, lasã,

Fii cu inima voioasã

Noi nu stãm mâhnirii-n casã,

                    Prizonieri.

 

Ape tulburi se revarsã în puhoi,

Greutãţile dau iama peste noi!

Tare-ar vrea sã ia cu ele

Taine, doruri, toate cele,

Sã ne facã zile grele

                    Mai apoi.

 

Sã rãmâi cu bine, dar, al meu odor,

Sã-Ţi dea Dumnezeu Preasfântul, ajutor!

Şi sã ai grijã de tine,

Sã n-ajungi în mâini strãine

Sau de râs şi de ruşine

                    Urzitor.

 

Vine vremea sã ne întâlnim din nou,

Când vor creşte iarãşi florile-n rondou!

Trandafiri şi lãcrimioare,

Şi muşcate solitare,

Rãsunând în fiecare

                    Un ecou...
