Palpable Romance

by Tea Solon

whensoever slumber
consigns to oblivion
its visits in moments
between cold midnight
and warm sunrise your

poetry holds me.

soothing. much liken
to how the windsong
brush cold fire on my
cheeks at early dawn

or how the wavesong
stroke warm ice on my
raven hair at late dusk.

your poetry finds me.

i am never alone or lost
i am never neglected or
deserted. in my solitude

your moving metaphors
accompanied me like a
constellation of stars at
dark or a suite of colors
at first light of day. your

rhythm entertained me
like uneven preternatural
song of courtship between
thunder and lightning on
stormy nights. invariably

your poetry encompasses.

LUCEAFĂRUL ce stă aprins

de Arabela Nenciu

Gândind ades la Eminescu,
Am înțeles un lucru clar:
Nu toate numele cu „-escu”
Au și succes universal.

Nici toți poeții nu-s luceferi
Deși, despre stele mulți au scris;
Doar Eminescu-i peste timpuri
Luceafărul ce stă aprins.

De sus, rămas-a să vegheze
Tot ce-a avut, EL, mai de preț:
Natura, țara și iubirea,
Căci ele l-au făcut măreț.

Iar noi, românii, suntem mândri
Că am avut un „geniu blond”.
Prin versuri, EL, va fi de-a pururi
Luceafăr viu, în Orizont.

Empty Inside

by Manuela Timofte

Since we were little, we have known that money means value. Thus, we begin to evaluate ourselves and those around us by the brand they wear, by the size of their villa or castle, by the make of their car, by the amount of gold they display. We see the value of a person through the shine of metal, stones, chairs, and the name on office doors. We put aside humanity, honesty, and sincerity, making room for cowardice, cunning, larceny, theft, hatred, and revenge.
