I want a touch of Eminescu
To make you fall for me outright,
And hints of Grigorescuâs hues
To turn your art to pure delight.
A bit of CreangÄ, I would keep,
To share our tale for all to hear,
And, blessed by Slaviciâs stroke of luck,
I found you near, a heart sincere.
With Blagaâs strength, Iâll crush my fears,
And Bacoviaâs heart shall feed on pain,
To make friends with my solitude,
And find some beauty in the rain.
And maybe just a bit of Petrescu
To spend with you one final night,
So StÄnescu will recall from me,
You were my rarest, purest light.
The poem is inspired by the great Romanian writers and artists who shaped our literary and cultural heritage. Each referenceâEminescu, Grigorescu, CreangÄ, Slavici, Blaga, Bacovia, Petrescu and StÄnescuârepresents a unique influence on themes of love, nostalgia, solitude, and artistic passion. Through this piece, I wanted to weave their essence into a personal journey of love and reflection.
