#mistery
Theme: Near encounters, held breath, quiet ache She dropped her glove once. I held it like a promise— then watched her vanish. Moonlight on her scarf— a breeze carried it to me. I kept the silence. Two cups on one tray. She smiled at the empty chair. I sat down too late.

"Moments That Almost Were"
Theme: Serendipity, missed glances, quiet longing Train window fogged soft— her smile reflected in glass. I missed the next stop. A kite caught mid-flight, she held the string, unaware— my heart tangled there. Rain on cobblestones, her laughter echoed backward— I turned too slowly.

"Whispers Before the First Touch"
when I close my eyes I can see the trees breathing when my thoughts have the rythm of a gentle rain I can feel the terrible pain of the sun trapped in its orb the indifference of the coffe machines how there are still dreams in retirement plans the pulse of life rhyming with death just see the world population clock, the pollyanna sindrome, if necessary oh, this whisper in the essence of void: what a bliss to be round around the prismatic love that warps the edges of time deeper and deeper into its hidden curves of wonder

bliss
we are left here enchanted but unable so disabled to recognize the wormholes this paradox is it the most misterious they don't say but the moment I become words I die in all letters at once I dissapear from the impossibility of prethought curved into a field of longing most inner of language so the moment my words enrage you bemuse you or make you wanna run I am alive again in your coffe or in a jacaranda far away life is a beautiful mess everybody is afraid to say wholeness an antiword, they don't mind, the mastery of a waking U so poetry is reality in a language we don't understand what becomes of me we will see

what
Every year the lilies are so perfect I can hardly believe their lapped light crowding the black, mid-summer ponds. Nobody could count all of them - the muskrats swimming among the pads and the grasses can reach out their muscular arms and touch only so many, they are that rife and wild. But what in this world is perfect? I bend closer and see how this one is clearly lopsided - and that one wears an orange blight - and this one is a glossy cheek half nibbled away - and that one is a slumped purse full of its own unstoppable decay. Still, what I want in my life is to be willing to be dazzled - to cast aside the weight of facts and maybe even to float a little above this difficult world. I want to believe I am looking into the white fire of a great mystery. I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing - that the light is everything - that it is more than the sum of each flawed blossom rising and fading.  And I do.

The Ponds by Mary Oliver
Sometimes I just think I should   be the flow, not the girl lost into it.

A door slammed in the night- across the road from I lived a man- three children, and him. Happy family or so to expect ordinary-

A door slammed in the night
Today something inside of me wants me to just run And do what my soul strives to do . ... I wanted to stay in that touch for as long as my life permits ... One flow of current strikes me all koncked down ... I feel my life is eased and handled when his arms are around ... I lose myself with him... Nothing moves same.. I do things I never did .. I go with a flow which u take me in... I used to have peaceful heart ... Now I see my heart breath shearling... U destroyed my peace U took the one element away from me .. The element of fear ... The fear of falling .. The scare of losing ... Cant resist the whole of you .... You make be vulnerable ... For once I step off of the warrior uniform to wear my princess crown .... I love when u come close to me just to wishper some words like a beautiful song.... My thoughts may have gone very far... But u and I we are still here .... Deciding which road do we chose .. the one with the thorns or the one with the stamped grass .....

UNTOLD CONFESSION
Old phone call Ringing in the nightfall Never stop from winter to fall The noise's forcing us all To keep quiet and stay in the hall

Old Phone
My eyes feel heavy and weak Headaches fill my daily physique Uncertain of what the cause, I try to sleep But all my life sleeping has never been sleek I imagine myself in world's, my fantasies Stories of great honor and mystery Fables contained in my head Waiting to finally be read But I'm too lazy to get the pen And write all this from inside my head I can feel this world's within me But I can't expel them so easily Maybe it's fear that keeps them inside Retained forever in a state of mind Fear of defeat and failure It would take a toll on the self esteem of a savior But maybe one day I will be able to comply Make a pact with this dreaded state of mind Tell the world about all my Fables And maybe someone will be able to savor them

*One day a girl came across a box, With secrets she could not unlock, Which now sits in the perfect spot, Its not too big, but neither small enough, So what can it be inside this box ? Patricia had too much curiosity, She looks with much generosity, She was told not to open it up, All she can do is, To admire this tiny box. Do you think it’s a simple  box ? One who can have a red fox, Or just my ***** red socks, She is still wondering what's inside that box. In a box, Are secrets  untold, Some are new, And some are old. To reach inside , And read my mind, The thoughts I've Not yet left behind. If material is what you seek, Then, Honey this place is surely bleak, Void of gold and shimmering jewels, Filled only with words and books. There lies your lonely box, It has no doors  and no locks, And on the walls, a million clocks, Who torment you with ceaseless tocks. Hidden in the depths of my soul, Locked tightly with codes, Break the seal and you will see, How magic just one box can be. And on her door I lightly knock, And to her  I softly talk; Honey,it’s time to open your box. The moment is dazzling in the sky, And that I won't decline, The chance to be open, The chance to be kind. In words I can't find, Nor I can describe, While you still wonder what its inside, Genuine thought strikes my mind ; "Lets open it up"* Stef Devid Alexandru © PS : For those who wonders,she really really liked the content of that box. ;)

The Red Box
Take me... Take me now and Push me against the wall And kiss me like you mean it And don't let me go. Hold on to me Just for a little bit And take a moment To look into my eyes And if you won't see anything Look away And I'll dissapear into the darkness But if you'll see a spark in them I'll get naked of all my sins and shame And you'll be the first to see me the way I really am. I will then take your hand and run it All over my body And you'll like it Because I'll like it And I'll smile And you'll laugh. Then we'll kiss. You'll kiss my eyes And my lips. You'll kiss my neck And I'll bite yours.                                             DCimpean                                                       2015

Find me and I'll be yours
We always try to seek for answers though sometimes asking the right questions have always been the right answer. Read this and try to look back into your life, try to see if you’re steering your life at the right course, following the right heading, and at the right speed. 1. Which is worse, failing or never trying? 2. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? 3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? 4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? 5. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? 6. If the average human life span was 30 years, how would you live your life differently? 7. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? 8. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? 9. If you only one piece of advice, what would it be? 10. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? 11. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? 12. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? 13. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? 14. Do you click the mouse more than once? Do you really believe it loads faster? 15. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? 16. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? 17. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? 18. What are you most grateful for? 19. Is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first? 20. Has your greatest fear ever came true? 21. Do you remember that time 3 years ago when you were extremely upset, angry, and embarrassed? Does it really matter now? 22. If not now, then when? 23. If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose? 24. Why do religions that support love and cause so many wars? 25. If you just won a million dollars, would you still pursue your career? 26. Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing? 27. Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before? 28. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? 29. What is the difference between being alive and truly living? 30. Why are you here? 31. When it is time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? 32. Can you count all your money while you hold your breath? 33. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? 34. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? 35. When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing and feel the beat of your heart? 36. In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that?
