Portret în alb

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Cu adâncă mirare în glas și putință în fapte,
Am așteptat cu răbdare aceste mere coapte,
Dând grădinii sufletului meu ce se cuvine,
Rodul vieții mele, strâns în cuvinte puține...

În fiecare zi eu am sădit cuvintele-n lumină,
Cu truda frunții, ce nu mi-a fost străină,
Și dintre-aceste gânduri am înțeles mereu,
Că între două rânduri am existat și eu...

Și n-am știut c-atunci când m-am născut,
Trăindu-mi clipele spre marele necunoscut,
Pe lângă darul minunat de dulce-al vieții,
Pe frunte am primit, sărutul greu al morții...

Liniștea mă acaparează,

Cerul brusc se înnorează,

Oamenii țipă, dar nu ii aud.

Pe piatra funerară scrie că m-am înecat în rau.

M-am reîncarnat într-o pasăre,

Fără remușcări  zbor liberă către cer.

S-a terminat chinul, în sfârșit!

Dar nu este un final fericit.

Lasă-mă în pace!

Nu te atinge de mine.

În sufletul meu sunt doar ruine,

Nu încerca să ajungi la mine, sunt deja pe fundul lacului.

Ambulanța se zguduie,

Toată  lumea e agitată,

Dar eu aud liniștea pentru prima dată.

În schimb, corpul neînsuflețit bântuie.

Atunci când am fost vie,

Nimeni nu și-a adus aminte de mine,

Nimeni nu-mi scria,nu vorbea,nu se interesa 

Cum sunt eu.

Iar atunci când eu am murit

Toți își aduc aminte de mine 

Și vin să mă petreacă,

Pe ultimul drum.

Și dragi cunoscuți ai mei 

Pentru voi 

O singură întrebare!

Unde ați fost voi când am fost eu vie?

Și am avut nevoie de sfatul vostru? 

De o vorbă scurtă .

corect răspuns :nu ați avut când.

Poezia scrisă pe 19.09.2024,ora 18:01

Au trecut aproape doi ani

Doi ani de când zaci acolo sub pământ

Nici nu te mai simt,însă tristețe îmi emani

mereu când îți pun lumânări pe mormânt.

Mi-e așa dor de tine

Nici nu știu când trece timpul

Trece,trece și te alungă departe de mine

Așa cu el trece și anotimpul…

Nu s-a mai schimbat nimic pe-aici

Totul e la fel,doar vieți normale

Eu încă port dor de ale tale îmbrățișări

și de saluturile noastre speciale.

N-am să te mint… chiar îmi lipsești

Chiar aș vrea să te mai văd în forma ta originală

Te văd doar prin poze vechi

Chiar și așa n-am nici șansa ocazională.

Sper că ești bine acolo oriunde te aflii

Sper că nu ți-e frig la mâine

Că n-am să pot a le încălzi

N-am să pot a le atinge

Fiindcă tu nu te mai întorci,tu nu mai vii…

Moartea este ca un politician lacom,

Ne ia tot ceea ce prețuim si adorăm.

Dar totuși moartea cea de taină,

Este relaxarea cea divină.

Mă gândesc din când în când,

Este moartea depărtarea sufletului de trup?

Sau, este moartea oprirea vieții constante,

Ceea ce ne dă noua bețe-n roade?

Moartea este bună si rea,

Deoarece aceasta are si răsplata sa.

Uneori, ne scapă de cele mai rele persoane,

Dar uneori, ne scapă de cele mai bune persoane.

Nu doresc să văd ce se v-a întampla,

Dar la un moment dat voi vedea și întâmpina.

Cum este moartea ca și in cărți,

Când aceasta te învită la ușa sa,

Să vezi apusul ultimii zi,

Și să mori liniștit ca Dumneata.

De ce mă chemi 

De ce mă strigi 

De sus unde tu nu mai ești 

Tu nu știi că nu mai exiști 

Mai distrus mai făcut praf 

Ți-am oferit iubirea mea 

Ți-am alinat gândurile 

Ți-am creat vise și speranțe 

Dar nu, tu doar m-ai mințit 

Acum mă ridic și văd 

Mormântul înghețat de lacrimile 

Ce de mult au curs. 

Mă întorc la o viață normală

Unde visul acum e un film alb-negru

Unde miracolele sunt niște idei fanteziste 

Unde "să fii fericit" e o înjurătură 

Mă ocolește viața cum m-au ocolit toți 

Mă simt rupt de speranțe 

Pământul e așa de aproape 

Mă îmbrățișează până mă înghite 

Sicriul meu cel frumos 

E plin de viermi și de margini putrezite 

Așa cum e și sufletul

Dar acum ce să mai fac?

Să fii distrus e atât de ușor 

De moarte să fii alungat 

De suflet părăsit 

Și de lume mințit.

Acum îmi spun ultimul cuvânt 

Până când ochii mi se opresc

Iar inima îmi râde 

De parcă totul a fost un spectacol.
