Entities Masquerade

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

     Viață nu te mai grăbi 

Într-o zi n-o să mai fi.

Timpul vine timpul se petrece 

Ca o adiere trece 

I-a cu el în drumul lui 

Tinerețea omului.

   Eu te-am luat cu împrumut 

Stai cu mine aici mai mult.

Dumnezeu cel sfânt și mare 

Împrumută pe oricare,

Doar că noi o irosim 

Și nu știm s-o prețuim 

   Numai când îmbătrânim 

Nu mai vrem să irosim,

Nici un ceas, nici o minută 

Pentru că viața e scurtă 

Vedem în clepsidra vieții 

Cum nisipul,se tot scurge și dispare 

Ca și roua dimineții 

Uscată de către soare.

Din nou eu stau si ma gindesc

La viata care trece

Si de durere.. eu fumez

Tigara iar se stinge...

Trec zile-ntregi ..

Trec nopti fara odihna

Tu iarasi pleci 

Si-mi spui ca o sa treaca...

EA iar te chiama 

Tu iar ma lasi pe mine

Te duci la EA grabit

Si-mi spui ca vorbim miine...

Si iar ma pun pe asteptat

Si sufletul ma doare

Dar .. eu asa am acceptat

Inghit lacrimi amare...

E o femeie..e sotia ta

Eu sint doar o amanta

Cu Ea tu iti traiesti viata

Cu mine te vezi citeodata..

Tu miai propus sa fim iubiti

Ca ai familie..copii

Dar am ajuns indragostiti

Si facem nebunii...

Si iarasi trebuie sa pleci

EA iar te chiama acasa

Eu iar ramin sa ma gindesc

De cine tie-ti pasa....

Ea-i mama la ai tai copii

Eu ..doar o simpla fata

Ei iar te-asteapta ca sa vii

Si eu ramin indurerata...

Rog sa stea o clipa cerul
Sa mai fiu putin cu tine
Atit iubirea cit si adevarul
Sa nu se dasparta de mine
Sa ne-nbratisam aievea
Sarutindu -ne doar noi
Sa fim singuri si natura
Martori pentru amundoi
Te-as lasa sa fugi ca vintul
Sa adii in viata mea
Dar cum vintu-i schimbatorul
Te voi pierde eu cindva
As dori sa vii adesea
Sa te vad mai des mai rar
Ca Romeo tu JUlieta
Te voi astepta la prag
Linga asa o frumusete
M-as simti si eu poet
As trai intr-o poveste
Dintr-o zina si un fat.

Mă uit la cer, e de-un albastru senin

Mi te închipui atât de frumos și de lin,

Prin gânduri mi te plimbi mai mereu

Dar ești atât de departe... de sufletul meu...

Aș mai vrea încă o dată să ne vedem întâmplător 

Așa aș mai potoli un pic al meu dor,

Să pot să te îmbrățişez măcar o ultimă dată 

Si-un vin să savurăm în doi cum n-am făcut-o vreodată...

Nu pot să te scot din gând nici un minut

Deși uneori aș vrea să pot să mă ascund

De vise, speranțe... de al meu gând 

Să nu mai doară atât de tare...cum ne-am pierdut...

Ai zis ,,promit” , ai zis… mă arunc   

Pe drumuri prăfuite, în inimă un gol adânc.

Dragostea noastră, am crezut că o să-și revină,

Acum e doar o umbră, o cădere în surdină.

Aripi rupte, încercând să zboare,

Dar frica le ține, aluzii clare

Ai plecat , fără a-mi lua la revedere

Și eu rămân aici, cu dor și durere.

Golul de tine mă sufocă în noapte,

Îmi răsună-n cap doar șoapte,

Dragostea mă arde, pupila mi-e diluată ,

Te am în minte, ca o amintire fixată.

O moarte nu-i de-ajuns 

Să mă țină departe

De cea care mi-a pus 

A inimii jumătate...

Un sicriu nu-i de-ajuns

Să mă țină în frâu

De-a face drum întors

'Napoi la al ei brâu...

Țărâna nu-i de-ajuns

De ea să mă alunge;

Vorbește-mi de-al ei plâns

Și-atunci te vei convinge

Că nimeni și nimic 

Nu ne va separa

Și purerea, eternă,

Mi se va-ntoarce ea...
