Portret în alb

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Acum aici și pentru totdeauna, in bezna asta surdă și chinuitoare

Tu mă lasă să-ți mai privesc chipu' odată, așa cum o făceam odinioară

Și lasă-mă să-ți mângâi parul, cel castaniu și plin de soare, cel ce sclipea in valuri și sub cer, 

Atunci când te- aruncai in mare...

In pustietatea asta plina de oameni, cavou -i rece și murdar, 

Tu lasă -ma sa-ti mai sărut obrajii, așa cum o făceam cândva

Ca-apoi te duci, acolo jos, unde e noapte si e frig

Unde nu pot sa te vad, cu al tau chip senin, 

Cu care îmi zâmbeai mereu, erai un înger, înger divin

Și uite că te-au luat acolo, in lumi necunoscute și umbrii,

In lumi din care nu te mai întorci vreodată, 

Să-mi spui povesti despre copii

Și lupta asta mă omoară, e că un război civil, 

Nu pot sa dau cu pumnul, să lovesc, nu pot sa trag cu puști

Nu pot trag in inamic...nu mai pot sa fac nimic

Moartea învinge întotdeauna...

Copii scrâșnind din dinți, 

de durere....

Ciuruiți de gloanțe inamice...! 

Pe front tați morți 

si-ologi cu mâini rupte...

copii psihotici lăsând zbierând! 

Creștini biciuiti

si dați la fiare..., 

Cu carnea curgandu-le roșie ca rugina veche pe metal! 

Evrei exterminați

in lagăre..., 

Cu trupul înflăcărat si pielea, prelingându-se ca plumbul, 

libertatea găsindu-si pe hornul înfumurat

al lagărelor teroare, 

Devenind prieteni cu norul in a sa splendoare!

Bebeluși asfinxiați

in gaze-otrăvitoare..., 

In ținta bombelor atomice, 

Mor prematur in spitale 

In coroziunea de metale! 

Si decedați, 

Zdrobiți de clădiri,

de terorile musulmane, 

Sufletele oamenilor pleaca 

Si nu se mai întorc niciodată. 

Când va înceta genocidul

Si lupta împotriva dreptului de-a trăi?

Când vor înceta războaiele

Si uciderile in masa

Pornite de omenirea politică , stufoasă?

Pe zidul ud, cu lumina ce parcă se destramă,

Clopotele de sânge bat tăcute,

În mine urlă o vină făr' de teamă

Cu lanțuri sunt prins, tot mai ruginite, tot mai dure

Parcă mă privesc ochi de gheață lipsiți, de glas,

Sub îngheț rana și acum mă arde

E poate-al meu gând, poate-al lor glas,

Ce-n nopți străine umbrele pe mine le-așterne.

În pivniți reci, sforile s-adună,

Și fiecare nod, e un geamăt greu

Dar, biciul cade și pe fața cea bună

Orice torționar, are la rându-i un călău.

Un bici de la un om, altul din amintire

Iar cei mai crunți sunt cei nevăzuți,

Ei pun tăcerea în gât ca o schingiuire,

Și-ți sugrumă cuvântul, oblingându-te să rămâi tăcut

Cruce grea, legată de gât,
Obiect tăios, prea adânc.
Cruce grea, cu lanț strâns.

Cruce grea, îmi îndoi spinarea,
Cruce grea, vine salvarea.
Cruce grea, de ce eu?

Cruce grea, marmură albă,
Cruce grea, te port ca o salbă.
Cruce grea, joc de vară.

Cruce grea, îmi este greu,
Obiect mistic, în balanță.
Cruce grea, lasă-mă să plec și eu.

Jeleau sicriele în rând,

Coroanele luându-se de mână prin vânt,

Candele aprinse cu foc de veac,

Pământ uscat căzând pe mine.

Fir cu fir, lacrimă cu ani, îmi cresc anii ne-având ce să fac.

Tămâie ofilită prinsă pe trupul meu,

Chipul îmi zâmbi de nefericire,

Iar inima se înspăimânta de bucurie.

Ne venii clipa la toți, să ne luăm rămas bun, nu de la cei dragi, ci de la cei ce-i jigneam.

Se acoperă capacul pe trup,

Iar pe mormânt scriind,

“Își dorea doar un zâmbet, dar zâmbetul la costat”.

Amintiri săpate prin noroi și izmene,

Nopți mult prea albe de fum și alcool,

Construite fiind numite vitor.

Pe pașii mei goi lăsând în gol chipul,

Îmi mai revăd doar umbra ce se plimbă în zori.

Fericită-i lumea, da fericită va fii când eu mă voi întoarce, iar pe toți cei ce m-au înspăimântat îi voi blestema.

Feriți-vă de cuvântul meu de odraslă,

Căci cuvântul meu este văzut de cel ce mă veghează.

Clipa va venii când îmi veți plăti prin rugăciuni, prin pomenire.. prin parastas..

Dar iertat de mine va fii doar cel ce m-ia dorit fericirea, doar eu.
