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.

Trăiește clipa, trăiește momentul 

Cuvintele astea, înfundat, se aud,

Ca un ecou de mult apus

În cea mai adâncă peșteră a subconstientului.

Traiește clipa, traiește momentul

 Bâjbâi, abia apuc de coadă momentul,

Clipa se prelinge macabru de iute,

Alunecând printre degetele mele, aproape moarte.

Trăiește clipa, trăiește momentul 

Dar cum? Vă întreb eu pe voi:

Cum să trăiești, în primul rând,

Când abia simțim cum ne poartă viața-n spate?

Traiește clipa, traiește momentul

 Cu amar și jale cânt doine-n peșteri,

Sperând că răsună peste pustiile câmpii;

Cu lacrimi arse pe obraji, cântecul se frânge.

Trăiește clipa, trăiește momentul 

O s-o rostesc ca pe cea mai dragă rugăciune,

Până când clipa o să devină infinită

lar momentul va atinge sacrul apogeu.

Trăiește clipa, trăiește momentul 

Iar când tu, alchimistule,

Vei atinge cea dintâi filosofie,

Uşor să-ți treacă sufletul în eternitate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ai plecat acum un an,
De-a tunci, nu te-am mai vazut,
Un dor nebun ce m-a apasat,
Pe-al meu suflet singur si uscat.

Cu lacrima mea grea de duioasa,
Iti plang trupul putrezit.
Macar in vise sa-mi apari,
Sa stiu ca-mi esti aproape.

Rugaciuni si lumanari aprinse,
La mormant toate-s puse,
Aduse fiindu-ti ca ofranda.

-Cu ce-ai ramas tu oare?
-Cu-n suflet in cer iertat,
Si cu-n trup ce nu ma doare!

Eu am ramas fara o parte,
Din a mea inima pierduta,
Fara a ta fiinta si-a ta iubire,
Nu mai am nici-un rost in lume!

Nazdravan sau nu, esti tu
Iti place sau nu ,tot esti tu
Inteligent nativ , ce crezi ,esti tu
Un suflet bun si plin de har
Esti tu, un nazdravan

Iti mulțu ca esti tu
Perfect sau nu, esti tu
Zambesti frumos si radiezi , esti tot tu
Sa nu lasi pe nimeni sa nu fi tu
Voi fi aici pentru ca esti tu

Nu mai am naivitatea unui copil,
Dar mai sper că ne vom întîlni undeva
Si toate aceste gânduri otrăvesc,
Sunt rană deschisă pe inima mea...

Nu sunt vinovată că te-am pierdut,
În viața care are un sfârșit,
Vinovată sunt că n-am știut
Să te vizitez, mai des, când ai trăit...

Băiatul meu cel mare,

Fie viața cât de grea 

Tot aici e mama ta! 

Fie lumea cât de bună

Mama ,tot o să te-ndrume.

Cartea este un izvor al întelepciunii

Este tot ce avem mai sfânt,

Ea e ca o mama care ne călăuzeste în lume,

Un soare care ne încălzeşte blând.

Ea ne învaţă să iubim Graiul şi plaiul strămoşesc

Oameni cu adevarat să fim,

Un lucru atât de firesc.

Are şi ea suflet şi o doare

Când de dânsa mai uităm,

Căci ea este o comora

Care trebue s-o păstrăm.

Cartea este o minune

Dată de zeii cereşti,

E un templu al înţelepciunii

Dacă o ştii s-o preţuieşti.

Străzi pustii si-aglomerate
Cît şi vechi, atît şi-nalte
Lume e, dar sunt străin
Cu picturi, fără stăpîn
Case se întîlnesc pe drum
Alb, modern şi-ncăpătoare
Oameni mici şi mari de-acum
Ei păşesc, cu-alor dreptate
Oare toţi îşi au cămin!
Locul său, cel care des
E numit de noi: "Acasă"
Pleci, dar te întorci mereu
Vin şi eu, spre casă.
Nins să fie, sau să ploaie
Să alergi doar după soare
Cînd eşti printre spini
Dar mereu sub nori.
Fericirea e în clipa
Ce n-o preţuieşti
Teama, frica si dorinţa
Tu acasă eşti?
Cînd stabilul e ştiut
Că nu se cunoaşte
Bucuria o resimţi
Dar de ea n-ai parte.
