Garden of Hollow Serpents

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.

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."

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.

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.

Sub clar de luna amară,

Am să-ți cânt despre o primăvară,

Primăvară prinsă într-o buclă atemporală,

Încețoșată buclă într-o clepsidră neclară.

Primul boboc blajin de liliac,

Tras fin ca printr-un microscopic ac,

Crescut la umbra unui nuc posac,

Vioi se grăbea deja să fie pe plac.

Îmbăiat în mireasmă, se dorea să pară,

Desprins forțat dintr-o lume bizară,

Să-și deschidă petalele se ruga seară de seară,

Visând la lumea mare ce îl înconjoară

Amorul pândea să iasă la atac;

Propria-i esență urma să îi vină de hac,

Neştiind că mai bine de un veac

Pasiunea ce o va purta nu va avea leac.

Cei dintâi muguri sfioși cedară

La un încordat ceas de seară,

Și-n astfel de clipe scântei se creară,

Căci în grădină emoțiile aveau să apară.

Pentru regat, iubirea părea a fi un fleac,

Dar nu și pentru noul june liliac.

Văzând cum grațioasele magnolii zac,

Fulgerător, cu un gând trecu la atac.

Și, dacă nu ar fi fost să piară

Această dragoste pură și rară,

Probabil s-ar mai fi dat sfară-n țară

Despre nemaivăzuta uniune cardinală

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.

De ce, analfabeților, 

distrugătorilor, paraziților?

Distrugeți pura noastră

limbă română măiastră.

În meleagurile noastre nu există

Scrierea voastră materialistă

Voi mâncați literele

Până explodează Soarele!

Nu există verbul a vroi

Cu fonetica sunteți tâlhăroi,

Ce splendidă e gramatica,

VOI, o batjocoriti în ea!

There are  many problems in life.

And this is familiar to everyone.

Yes it's sad and bad for us.

But,we live for those are dear for you.

Live and don't be sad!

Because there is only one life.

No wait for tomorrow,

Say this word today!

Don't say bad word,

 leave it for later.

 And just be a human.

And live constantly,

While  you have life!

Poem about life and people.

Author 🖤 Zamurca Alina 🖤🖤

Sunt debutant poet în curtea bibliotecii,

În mână c-o peniță și-n minte mii de schițe,

Un amalgam ciudat de versuri pribegite

În mici volume scrise ce zac neprețuite.

Incendiat de soare și părăsit de om

Călătoresc în noapte cu ochi de visător,

Rostogolesc tăcerea unui poet minor

Spre universuri calde ce vor să mă omor.

Sunt prins în tăvălugul condeiului stelar,

Un scriitor pierdut pe-un drum imaginar,

Mi se arată coala pe care să semnez

Cerneală albă-i viața în negrul Univers.

Nu s-au grăbit spre cer.

Au rămas.

Au lăsat harul

să le atingă voința

până când aceasta

n-a mai vrut altceva.

Trupul lor n-a fost depășit,

Ci curățat de zgomot,

ca o fereastră

care nu reține lumina.

Fiecare sfânt

e un loc unde lumea

nu s-a închis definitiv.

Nu au fugit de moarte,

dar moartea

n-a mai știut ce să facă cu ei.

În tăcerea lor,

Dumnezeu nu Se afirmă,

ci se lasă locuit.

De aceea, chipurile lor,

nu impresionează, ci liniștește

prezențe care nu cer atenție,

ci adevăr.

Timpul cu ei, nu curge

ci se adună.

Numai o vorbă

Spusă la întâmplare

Neiertătoare

Mă doboară.

Inima crede,

Gândul o măsoară,

Dusă e liniștea

Pentru totdeauna.

Din pacate, asta-i firea mea,

Dar mereu în gând îmi spun așa:

„Nu te enerva!”

Nu te enerva, nu te enerva,

Vorbele pot fi înșelătoare.

Nu te enerva, nu te enerva,

Că nu-i bună nicio supărare.

Poate fără voie câteodată ești lovit

De-un cuvânt că nu e potrivit.

Nu te enerva, nu te enerva,

Hai zâmbește și ascultă sfatul meu.

Numai o vorbă

Mi-aduce gânduri grele

Și doar cu ele

Mă-nconjoară.

E gelozie,

Vine ca povară

Și-un coșmar nedescris

Noaptea-n vis coboară.

Din pacate, asta-i firea mea,

Dar mereu în gând îmi spun așa:

„Nu te enerva!”

Nu te enerva, nu te enerva,

Vorbele pot fi înșelătoare.

Nu te enerva, nu te enerva,

Că nu-i bună nicio supărare.

Poate fără voie câteodată ești lovit

De-un cuvant că nu e potrivit.

Nu te enerva, nu te enerva,

Hai zâmbește și ascultă sfatul.

Și vei știi

Să îți spui

Orișicând,

Orișicui

Nu te enerva!

Nu te enerva, nu te enerva,

Vorbele pot fi înșelătoare.

Nu te enerva, nu te enerva,

Că nu-i bună nicio supărare.

Nu te enerva!

Bare ett ord

Sagt tilfeldig

Utilgivende

Det slår meg ned.

hjertet tror

Tanken måler det,

Stillheten er borte

For alltid.

Dessverre er det min natur,

Men alltid i tankene mine sier jeg dette:

"Ikke bli sint!"

ikke bli sint ikke bli sint

Ord kan lure.

ikke bli sint ikke bli sint

At ingen sinne er bra.

Kanskje utilsiktet noen ganger blir du truffet

Med et ord, det er ikke passende.

ikke bli sint ikke bli sint

Kom igjen smil og hør på rådene mine.

Bare ett ord

Det gir meg tunge tanker

Og bare med dem

Det omgir meg.

Det er sjalusi

Det kommer som en byrde

Og et ubeskrivelig mareritt

Natten i drømmen senker seg.

Dessverre er det min natur,

Men alltid i tankene mine sier jeg dette:

"Ikke bli sint!"

ikke bli sint ikke bli sint

Ord kan lure.

ikke bli sint ikke bli sint

At ingen sinne er bra.

Kanskje utilsiktet noen ganger blir du truffet

Med et ord, det er ikke passende.

ikke bli sint ikke bli sint

Kom igjen smil og lytt til rådene.

Og du vil vite

Å fortelle deg

uansett,

alle som

Ikke bli sint!

ikke bli sint ikke bli sint

Ord kan lure.

ikke bli sint ikke bli sint

At ingen sinne er bra.

Ikke bli sint!

De fel sunt o persoană veselă 

Dar sufletul mi-i încă traumat

Și pentru el azi m-am decis

Să închid ușa pe care să revii, am tot așteptat.

Încerc să-mi fac curat prin gânduri 

Să-mi fac ordine în minte și suflet

Trec prin filtru orice capitol

Anulez orice urmă de teamă și urlet.

Îmi iau rămas bun de la iluzii și vise uitate

Adio spun celor ca tine, falși, cu vorbe ciudate

Refuz să mă mai pierd în priviri înșelătoare 

M-a costat atât de mult...privirea ta întâmplătoare!

Anulez pe rând, amintiri din trecutul ce doare

Învăț în fiecare zi să mă prețuiesc fără ezitare

Să uit durerea ce-ai lasat-o să fie autoare, 

Să-mi rescriu viitorul, să te las în uitare...
