When the day comes to an end, and the lights go down, we’re left with just ourselves; When the city noise fades out, it’s the sound of our thoughts that disrupt the night’s stillness; When the glass runs dry, it’s our long-lost hopes and dreams that fill the air; When we’re stripped of clothes, it’s often…
În fața ferestrei
În fața ferestrei mele, din vechea casă a bunicilor, stă un păr bătrân, care a fost acolo de când mă știu. Acum aproximativ doi ani, aproape toate ramurile lui au trebuit tăiate – un soi de rugină a frunzelor sau o altă boală a copacilor; nu am reușit să aflăm exact ce era, dar eram…
To the Little Girl I Used to Be
My little one, I wish someone had told you that there’s nothing else you need to be but yourself; that the way you are is exactly how you’re supposed to be; that how others choose to be, and what they do, has nothing to do with you. You are enough, without trying so hard. You…
Those Who Leave
For those who leave, there is always someone who is left behind. For those who leave, there is always someone who mourns for them, whether they are never to be seen again or accidentally run into when one least expects it. For those who leave, there is always someone who has to pick themselves up…
Echoes of Never
Those hugs that never happened, Those smiles I have never seen, That voice that never became familiar, That “what if” that will once again remain as such. All of those “maybe this time” that wear on my soul and tire me so, They’re all too familiar, too much of the status quo, They’re all too…
Almost
I thought I’d seen you just the other day, just short glimpses, then you vanished away. These cold, dark, rainy days, these moonless, starless, hopeless nights…they make me ache, quiver, and shiver. I long for your touch, your smell, your warm embrace, your light, your sound, your presence. Come back. Come sooner…
Dulãul
Azi te-am întâlnit din nou, ca de fiecare dată, în plimbările noastre pe ulița satului. Recunosc că, dincolo de amestecul de tristețe cu duioșie pe care le stârnești în mine, există și o doză de precauție, ca să nu spun teamă. Până la urmă, ai fost abandonat de cel căruia îi erai loial și, poate…
That Evening
It tasted like fine wine, and it tasted like hope; It brought back memories of all that could be, the joy, the laughter, and the quiet serenity; The liberating tears meant to bring peace, unspoken thoughts and hidden truths; Souls that have been broken yet remain outspoken; It tasted like love, it felt like a…
Elusive
From the depths of the dark-blue sea, Your eyes never cease to search for me. Your arms raise and reach aimlessly, And only find comfort when they finally grasp me. Your thoughts wander restlessly, And they only stop when they find me. But you see, I’m like running water, I never stop. I’m like the…
Zile
Sunt zile în care am un zâmbet pierdut pe față, fără vreun motiv anume, ci pur și simplu pentru că simt că, în ciuda faptului că lucrurile sunt departe de a fi perfecte, e totul atât de frumos. Am o stare de calm, serenitate, recunoștință și o senzație că, literalmente, nu-mi mai încape inima în…
