When Kindness Found Me

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

Sentimente, vibrații de nostalgie,
Am atunci când te zăresc.
Ochii te văd, inima e cu energie
În fiecare (clipă) eu te urmăresc.

De fiecare dată când ne întâlnim,
Corpul meu simte furnicături.
Ridic ochii spre ai tăi și ne privim,
Și văd același corp cu trăsături.

N-ai ideie ce se petrece în inima mea!
Emoții puternice, bătăi pe secunde,
Îmi apari în vise zeiță cu un nume
Furându-mi plăcerile mele profunde.

Viața mi-a dăruit mult prea multe,
Și am ajuns să te cunosc pe tine.
Mulțumită ție sunt în cerurile-nalte
Simțindu-mi inima cu senzații pline.

Îmi pare rău că tu nu mă observi,
Vorbești cu mine de parcă nu-i nimic,
În inima ta, frumoaso, prietenie rezervi
Fiindcă în realitate mă vezi ca pe-un amic.

E frumos să trăiesc cu tine într-un vis,
Deoarece ambii ne iubim nebunește.
Acolo drumul spre fericire e deschis,
Și dragostea adevărată în inimi trăiește.

Te visez cu ochi deschiși, te pictez în gând!
Și știu, și simt că ești aleasa inimii,
Fiindcă m-am rugat Dumnezeului blând,
Să mi te facă soția bătrânimii!

Nu mai doresc privirea,

Nici gândul să mi-l porți.

Imagini ireale

Ce le aștept ca sorți.

Pătrund ca într-o sferă

Pe care n-o cunosc,

Și sentimente surde

Dintr-o durere nasc.

Ardoarea vieții, falsă,

Creată prin minciună,

Nu va putea aduce

Speranței o lumină.

În mintea mea straluce soare

Dar gândul tău e întuneric

Si te iubesc atât de tare

Încât se stinge raza mea..

Eu vad viața și culoare,

Tu, umbre și apus de stea,

Ochii-mi au străluciți astrale,

Ai tai, o umbra-atat de grea...

Iubirea poate stinge raza

Ce mintea mea o lumina,

Căci dacă tu ești întuneric

O noapte e și viața mea...

    Te chem. Îți scriu să vii desară,
    Și să-mi pășești curat pe suflet...
    În șoapta nopții, umbrită cu sfială,
    Aș vrea să fiu din nou complet...
    
    Dar tu nu-mi vii, dar tu nu-mi vii...
    Ori poate iarăși m-ai uitat...
    Acum tresar, rătăcitor, în zor de zi,
    Golit, și trist, și-nfrigurat...
    
    Căci te-am chemat cu dor în sânge,
    Dar tu nu vrei să știi și n-ai habar...
    Cum inima, tăcută, mi se frânge,
    Tânjind după sărutul tău amar...

Se tot vorbește de Rai sau Iad

Iar unii chiar glumesc,

Doar Dumnezeu mai știe unde se găsesc

Sau de există așa ceva..

Dar pot să spun că Raiul l-am văzut

Și l-am simțit pe pielea mea,

Când astăzi te-am ținut de calda mâna ta,iubito

Și foc și dragoste s-a scurs din ea în ființa mea!

Există Raiul nu-i minciună,

Și vine prin iubire,

E scara care-i urcă pe Eva și Adam,

Din nou la Cer la Dumnezeu

Adică pe mine și pe tine!

(8 feb 2024-Vasilica dragostea mea)

În fiecare picătură,

Am simțit dragoste și ură.

Eu mult te-am iubit

Și, Doamne, cât am suferit!

Știi, la început e greu,

Te doare sufletul mereu.

Trece timpul și răsare,

Soarele din nou apare.

La tine, în schimb, apare

Suferința; ea te doare

Și rău te apasă

Când mă vezi așa voioasă.

Tu acum vrei împăcare,

Dar iubirea nu mai răsare.

Cupidon el nu mai vrea

Să îți dea dragostea mea.

Ai avut și ai pierdut,

S-o prețuiești n-ai știut.

Viața merge înainte,

Cu sau fără cuvinte.

Pe un drum nou am pornit;

„Mâine”, speranțe mi-a dăruit.
