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.

Entities Masquerade

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.

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.

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.

Garden of Hollow Serpents

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.

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.

A Place to Call Home

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.

Scrisoare către tine partea 14

Oare simți și tu că mă gândesc la tine?

Când nu îmi este bine prefer să aud vocea ta,

Pentru că tu mă calmezi și simt că mă iubești,

Te simt fericit când despre mine vorbești,

Și știu că vrei să mă vezi.

 

Oare te-am văzut sau doar mi s-a părut?

Inima pentru o clipă s-a liniștit în dată,

Și m-am emoționat toată,

În ochi mi-a picat un strop de ploaie,

Până am intrat în casă zâmbind.

 

Aș vrea să putem comunica amândoi,

Să știu despre tine că ești bine,

Și să vorbim ore in șir,

Până adormim.

Mai mult...

Mi-a spus.....

Mi-ai spus: „Sper că nu ești supărată pe mine...”

Și fraza ta mi-a intrat în carne,

ca o săgeată înmuiată în tăcere.

Nu, nu sunt supărată —

eu ard.

Țin în mine o rană fără margini,

care nu urlă, dar pulsează.

 

E ca și cum aș fi într-o pădure

unde copacii plâng cu frunze de fier,

unde ecoul meu se întoarce

făr' să mă mai recunoască.

 

Doare.

Nu simplu —

ci până la os,

acolo unde cuvintele îngheață pe buze

și aerul devine spin.

 

Îmi tremură gândul,

îmi crapă vocea,

și-n piept îmi moare aerul

ca un fluture prins sub piele....

Chiar n-am vrut să fie-așa

Chiar n-am vrut să fie-așa,

N-am zis niciodată că-i vina ta.

Se termină o ceartă-ntr-o clipă,

Și-ncepe alta, parcă tipă-n inimă.

 

Îmi răspunzi după jum’ de oră,

Apoi mă-ntrebi dacă mai stăm o oră.

Deja intru să mă joc în horă,

Poate, cine știe, ne revenim iară.

 

Tre’ să realizăm ce devenim,

Că am intrat într-un regim,

Unde totul merge clandestin,

Și nu mai rămânem la fel, nici puțin.

 

Oare tu chiar ții la mine?

Sau doar pare că dau hate spre tine?

Șase luni, și tot ne ține,

O să fim bine — oricât s-ar întâmpla între tine și mine.

Umbra Speranței

Pe drumul vieții, presărat cu ceață,

Umbra speranței vine și mă-nvață.

Căci chiar și-n noapte, când lumina-i stinsă,

Ea mă veghează, tainică, aprinsă.

 

Din doruri mute și visări târzii,

Umbra speranței știe a zâmbi.

Chiar de mă pierd în gânduri fără rost,

Ea-mi amintește tot ce-am fost.

 

Când lumea cade-n valuri de durere,

Ea-mi șoptește blând despre putere.

Un glas ce urcă dintr-un loc adânc,

Un cântec vechi, al sufletului stânc.

 

Prin ploi de lacrimi, prin furtuni amare,

Umbra speranței arde-n depărtare.

E ca un far ce-mi luminează calea,

Un dor nestins ce-și urmează chemarea.

 

Ea nu se teme de grele încercări,

În fața vieții stă fără-ncercănări.

Chiar când m-aplec sub greutăți de gheață,

Ea-mi spune: "Luptă! Merită viața!"

 

Din pulbere de visuri destrămate,

Ea construiește punți nestrămutate.

Căci orice umbră are-n sine-un soare,

Ce-nvie totul, chiar din nepăsare.

 

Când totul pare să se-ntunece iar,

Ea-mi dă puterea să cred în hotar.

În locul unde toate dorurile mor,

Umbra speranței devine izvor.

 

În ochii celor ce-au pierdut credința,

Ea reaprinde blândă biruința.

Și-n inimi ce-au uitat să mai viseze,

Umbra speranței începe să creeze.

 

E veșnic vie, chiar și-n lumea mută,

O flacără ce-n noapte nu se-ascultă.

Din suflet crește, până la zenit,

O rază pură-n întuneric țintuit.

 

Și astfel merg, purtându-i urma vie,

Prin labirinturi, prin orice câmpie.

Umbra speranței e pavăza mea,

Un dar ce-n veci în suflet va dura.

Doar un gând

Nu-ți spun cine sunt, rămân doar un gând,

O filă nescrisă-ntr-un basm fără margini,

Dar eu te cunosc, nu ești om de rând,

Sădești frumusețea în tainice pagini.

 

Te privesc de departe, subtil, ca o stea,

Și-n sinele meu primăvara sosește.

Când pleci și nu spui, în inima mea,

Lași urme adânci de dor și tristețe.

 

Dacă ai ști cât am încercat să nu simt,

Să te privesc ca pe un om oarecare,

Dar gândul la tine mă arde și-l mint,

Că nu îmi ești dor, că nu-mi ești visare.

 

Și, dacă în tăcere te voi regăsi,

Voi purta aceste cuvinte cu mine,

Într-o lume unde dorul e-un rău amorțit,

Și iubirea e-mbrăcată cu tine.

Fragmente

Noapte de iarnă cu vânt pe la uși

Siluete vagi pe străzi înghețate

Și gândurile își fac mereu culcuș

În povestea cu "a fost odată "...

 

O lună aurie fără prea multe stele

Fără zăpadă în care să te-arunci

Doar ochii tăi în minte mai sclipesc

Și clinchetul paharelor ... de atunci.

 

Un ger năprasnic afară,

Cerul doar de lună îmbrăcat

Mă plimb pe-alei într-o doară

Cu sufletul în amintiri scăldat...

 

Revino să mă întorci în zilele de-atunci 

Pentru o clipă iarna să îmi fie caldă

Dorul c-o-mbrățișare si un vin să îl alini

Doar luna să ne vadă, întunecimea să ne fie colorată.

 

Te chem... deși nimic nu ai aduce din trecut

Nu cred să știi ce-nseamnă drumul înapoi

Din iarnă spre toamna cu noi doi

Când timpul părea că ne iubește pe-amândoi
