Let this be a safe place
Let the ink and paper offer peace
Let the words flow
Let the light glow

Let souls gather
Let worlds matter
Let ideals prevail
Let ideas reveal

Let this mean power, weakness, innocence, guilt
Let this be, what it needs to be
For me, this poem means that you have to let poetry in your life, if you wish to understand what its message is, or what it means to others
"So, why are you not writing anymore?"

Because I am in love?

"Should you not be writing more then, pouring your heart out in poems?"

Maybe...

but how do I put into words,
this feeling of being content
with a person I never knew before

how do I tell you that this time
it is not about the butterflies or the
fluttering hearts and all those fuzzies

how do I describe the silent
promises that are made to take care
of the little giggling child inside of me

how do I explain to you all the tiny
details of our personalities that are changing
to fit perfectly like the pieces of a puzzle

how do I show someone what it
takes to be strong enough to get vulnerable
and compassionate enough to get responsible

how do I write about this serenity
and knowing that I will be safe in
the hands that keep pushing me to be better

I wish I had the right words to talk about
the kind of love that slowed my racing mind and
made me realise that every day the sun paints
the sky a bit different, every night the moon
reveals itself a bit different and I get to cherish
every version of it for the rest of my life.

Likes, loves and reposts make me happy
but trending makes my day,
Eagerly wait to receive a sun -
Maybe I am just another content creator!

Your outgrown shadow still follows you faithfully, with due silence; you still stand hesitantly, putting one foot after the other, pondering over the paraphernalia of your wasteful, shipwrecked life, because the ethereal telephone voice has frozen into a silence; the mill wheels of Time are slowly grinding you down, just like anyone else who was not lazy to scrape up some chestnuts for himself first.

Between stifled reproaches, you still excuse yourself with your childish naivety, you. what haven't you done for this, or for that vile, nothing promise. Confrontation is in many cases unavoidable; not only in the showcase of exhibitionist superficiality - but rather in the depths of spiritual immersion, because it reflects the grotesque-nonsense Present.

The unspoken truth grows inside you, consumed, which you deliberately keep to yourself so that you won't be fired or advised to leave one day. - Inside, it would have been better if you had lined yourself with patience, so that you could have faced the petty weaknesses of others more boldly. You are standing in front of gates locked with a hammer-heavy key, but you have already passed forty years, and you can no longer turn back at will to change what you thought could be changed; because you tremble inside like overstretched strings, and you are rather just naively and childishly ashamed of yourself, you cannot protest, since the permanent, corrosive dark river of bitterness flows through your overworked veins.

And no matter how firmly you stand on the foundations of your selfish protest that you believed to be stable, you remain alone, so that you don't have to deny yourself endlessly again!
Born in  romania, adopted to canada
Traumatizing experiences shape me
But they don’t shape me no more
As i walk  i walk alone
This is the ******* path that i choose
I had many a friends
But they did not mean anything to me
Honour
That is really important
Discpline
That makes life beautiful
But never too perfect
The victims if terrorism before me
I was a a victim of terrorism
A victim of war
But now i survive i am a survivor
The world needs more positivity
Less anger and hate
That is baggage think about the
Hope and love that needs to be spread amoung
Us all
Like butter on bread
Think twice before you speak
For it will be the last someone hears
Think twice before you act
For it will be the last someone see

🇮🇹 Notte Buia
Nella notte buia
c’è chi crede di essere qualcuno,
e chi invece si perde
tra i silenzi infiniti.

Quanti volti ** visto
in questa oscurità,
ombre di sogni
già vissuti,
già consumati.

Eppure il buio tace,
custodendo segreti
che nessuna voce osa dire.

🇬🇧 Dark Night
In the dark night
some believe they are someone,
while others get lost
in endless silences.

How many faces I have seen
in this darkness,
shadows of dreams
already lived,
already consumed.

And yet the darkness is silent,
guarding secrets
that no voice dares to tell.

I told her not to meddle with things
that you're not relevant anymore (when it's not yours anymore).

There she is, free and fully alive
and getting under my skin. I heard the same story from a different scenario, from a different girl— I guess it just revolves around, like a folklore, that casts an eerie shadow in the forest, that creeps in the cabins, that makes your skin crawl during a conversation in front of a fireplace.

Love was pure, until it gets you mad
she makes me furious, she's the whole carnival of a grotesque memory, an embodiment of regret and persiflage comparison, a harlot dances under the moonlight luring for a tryst, who wanted to build a so called 'home' when her body is on fire, burning in the pits of hell.
She's crawling, she comes back, and I know where to find her, even if she hides like a burglar, she makes a perfect storm and she knows what's to come.

I told her not to meddle with things that are mine, like her last remains left rotten in the cabins where the stories kept hidden, buried and every piece will remain unknown.
