When Kindness Found Me

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mă doare amintirea ta

Şi clipe ce-au rămas departe

Unde eram doar tu şi eu

Acum o lume ne desparte

Ne intilnim iar desparţind-une

Citind durere-n ochii reci

Ma mai priveşti cu disperare

Ne zicind nimic iar mă petreci

Mii greu să mai privesc in urmă

Dar timpul trece şi iar trece

Am uitat sărutul tău la gust

Şi am lăsat dragoatea să plece

Acum doar amintirea ta traieşte

Te caut dar nu vreau să te găsesc

Mii frică să privesc in ochii tăi

Mii frică iar să te rănesc

Atitea amintiri rămase-n urmă

Dar doar cu ele acum şi mai trăiesc

Îmi vine greu să mai spun asta

Dar ce naş face tot la tine ma gîndesc

Va trece timpul inainte

Şi cîndva voi zice c-am iubit

Am iubit cum alţii iubesc o viaţă

Dar străini am devenit    

Și cât de mult am stat fără tine 

Și cât de rău mi a parut

Și mi plăcea tare de tine 

Țineam la tine atât de mult.. 

În seara asta nu mai oftez că nu vorbim 

Ai în plan să mi aduci un fir de trandafir 

Așa e? Sau doar e imaginația mea ? 

Că răspunsul tău, fiori îmi va da.. 

Și acum mă bucur că vorbim din nou 

Vorbim despre tot până și de noi 

Cum am ajuns iar să vorbim 

Îmi dai senzația ca tu vrei sa creștem un copil 

Și asa mult îmi place de tine.. 

Mai mult decât oricine 

Și lumea e rea și ne judecă pe amândoi 

Hai să ne scriem problemele, și sa dăm foc acelor foi 

Și totul va dispărea, și va fi doar tu și noi 

Și curcubeul va apărea, și subiectul va fi tot despre noi 

Parcă nu mai am nici o frica de când vorbesc cu tine iar 

Parcă mesajele sunt doar de amintire 

M as bucura tare sa ne aducem aminte peste 10 ani 

Cum copii noștri vor spune 

,, așa comunicau mami cu tati cândva"


de Rotariu Roxana Ariana

Când te uiți la mine 

Și simți, și realizezi 

Cât de frumos eram 

Noi doi, ca în povești.

Și câtă dragoste purtam 

Pe azi, pe mâine 

Lumea se întreba mereu

Oare cum de merg și unde? 

Unde ne ducea acest timp

Nici noi n-am aflat,

Ne luptam mereu în doi 

Cu doar un singur sfat.

Sfatul primit de inimile noastre 

Ce și acum bat una peste toate

Peste poate este greu, știu...

Dar mai știu că acum dacă tu de mână mă ții 

O să ajungem să rupem din nou norii.

Acești nori ce ne-au ținut prea mult departe,

Acum îi spulberăm in vis 

Și poate... poate cu timpul 

Noi o să realizăm 

Că unul fără altul 

Deloc nu funcționăm...

M-am pierdut în ai tăi ochi,

Și n-am știut că era ultima oară.

Îmi răsună-n minte amintiri vechi,

Precum corzile de vioară.

Sunetul ploii amorțite

Și drumuri pustii, la pas,

De mult îmi sunt sortite,

Iar tu neschimbat ai rămas.

E prea târziu sau prea devreme

Să dai uitării unor gânduri eterne,

În nopțile în care scriai poeme

Și sperai să vină-a ta vreme?

Послать поцелуй в бездонную яму,

Закрыв глаза ласкай, безликую даму.

Кто заставляет тебя просить?

Кто заставляет страдать, заставляет простить?

Кем стала ты? В оковах цементного города?

Тварь воскресшая , тело убитого холода.

О чём ты думала пожирая меня снова,

Поклоняясь законам жестокого Бога?

Поколение убийц, идущих из мира иного,

Кровь на руках, ты есть, и тебя слишком много.

Умирать я не буду, за твоё бледное золото,

Жизнь ничего не стоит, но это слишком дорого.

Мне не забыть этих людей, жестоких людей,

Уроюсь в мечтах, в создании идей.

Захлебнусь в громком хоре Нереид,

Останусь до конца... и меня тихо добьет спид.

Dacă…

Nu pot să te văd,

Ochii mei par oglinzi moarte.

Se reflectă în ei, imagini,

Toate sunt distorsionate.

Dacă…

Nu pot să te-ating,

Mâinile, le simt legate.

Nu pot la piept să te strâng,

Amintiri de mult uitate.

Dacă…

Nu pot să te-aud,

Urechile, îmi par surde.

Fără glasul tău divin,

Sunetele sunt absurde.

Dacă…

Nu pot să te simt,

Pielea mea, e inutilă.

Nu mai are însemnătate,

E precum o pelerină.

Dacă…

Nu pot să-ți vorbesc,

Gura mea-i pecetluită.

Cuvintele-mi sunt pierdute,

În tăcerea infinită.

Dacă…

La tine nu pot veni,

Pașii mei, merg fără cale.

Rătăcesc prin amintiri,

Într-o lume fără soare.

Dacă…

Nu mă poți iubi,

Inima-mi, să se fărâme.

Să nu mă mai doară iară,

Ai lăsat destule urme.

Dacă…

Nu vrei să-mi vorbești,

Să-nțeleg, nu aș mai vrea.

De înțeles, pentru mine,

Era numai vocea ta.
