The Alley
Durable kitten meddling around the alley
Hoping for miraculous savior and a place called home
Convincing voices broke the quiet night
Patrons and pathetic pouring in incessantly
As the clock labored and ticking flawlessly
A long stretch of antique shop houses were housing
Sympathetic women for sales
A sign of the world’s oldest profession at it’s high
Weird eyes glancing and captured
Typical extravaganza of stimulation
Sarcastic mixture of wilds scents
Ruining a solid strong marriages
And a bachelor’s virginity
They walked into the rooms upstairs
To taste the goodies of life
The night has not ended and negotiated
At the far end of the alley
Before the turning to the main city streets

Christmas without You
C - Christmas carols oh blazon,
unearth the eve of torn images that churn
H - Hitch hiking each moment,
that eclipses in every turns
R - Raging the innocent faces,
as winter white blanketing the sadness
I - Illusive and passive,
Jesus shying away in recognition of crisis
S - Solemn night airs the song of broken love,
like broken wings of Dove
T - Tormented in many pieces,
Santa’s gifts shattered in many places
M - Mellow as Christmas Choir singing ‘goodbye Jesus ‘,
impregnate further the thirst

Ignorance
Sojourn, efficacy entrapped within the boundaries
Choreographing the dances of life, like calligraphies
The strokes, beckoned a second look
Illuminated with flashes of nuke
Chapters and plots changed hands
Flock of thoughts flowed tearlessly beyond close range
Lives perished out of humans’ faults
Catastrophes, presumed as null and void
Serial numbers on the death certificates
Escalating at no rates
Who, constituted for the loss?
Leave it to God at all costs?
Could we share the common interest?
To live possibly from rags to riches

Don't bring me back to the orphanage
The bell has rang
Faces of cheers mirrored across the classrooms
Packing their beg eagerly
Running to the compound
Awaiting parents waiting anxiously
Their loved ones are their reason
To live and let live
For me, life is a torment
Innocent face full of grief
Colors of love
Painted with affection
Brushed with kisses
Warmed with hugs
I watched them from the waiting bench
The children are singing with joy
Chorused by lovely caretakers
And the four wheels
Unhesitant fetch them home
A home sweet home

My brother, a sister and me
She’s lying on the bed, comatose
No familiar faces around, she could stare
Ironic, there was a smell of calitos
Rising up breezily into the air
Somewhere, a patient has died
Of drug overdose
Superstition belief, is to bear
The curse’s door, is to close
Yesterday someone knocked her down
Whilst she was walking down the road
But no one could be found
As who to blame for the sin load
My brother, a sister and me
Watching helplessly
A mother’s love is about to cease
Taste of life will be bitter
God, help us please

A Beautiful Rose for a Gentleman
I love you baby
Deep from the core
Of my humble heart
Life would not be the same
Without your voices malingering
Into my wanting ears
Your smile is my ecstasy
Your glance is my victory
Winning a cup of life
Honey, don't say no
When your heart is crying
For my blood
Don't turn your back on me
When your body is craving
For my swift musing
I want to move on
Like I've owned this universe
I love you

Peace Not War
Make love not war
Sleep enough wakes up afresh
Reaching for Heaven’s door
Set aside your stress
We’re breathing the same air
Fragile and vulnerable
What's to compare
What's to grumble
Different religion
Different race
What’s the distinction?
On your face
Is there any difference?
In what you call the greater
What makes you coherence?
To say you’re better

From Romania with Love
Wallachia, Moldavia or Transylvania
Of which you were born
Or you flow from Mt. Moldoveanu
To evolve in the Mures or Siret
Your adolescence soaked with
The sands of God that kisses
The miracle of the Black Sea
Marieta Maglas, as famous
As Timisoara, giving a new lease of life
You blend life, honey coated with caviar of love
You flourish many with a new fate
From Bessarabia to Bucharest
They walk with a glittering smile
A Philosopher, a Dentist and a Poetess
A complete package that could even
Melt Communism, without having
To drip innocent blood
I read your vivid words
Like Danube, it flows back to the Black Sea
The heart of Romanian

Over The Rainbow
The morning rays of the Sun cling
On the upper bow of the Rainbow
Emerge after a moment ‘s dusk
Brown Pelicans and Western Gulls
Fly beneath the lower bow
That touches the water
Send fishes into hiding
As I walk along the white beach
Looking at the sea, the blue waters
Dance its way towards the golden sand
Shy away from the smiling horizon
Once, in a jubilant second, vessels across,
Scream their hearts out,
Ignite the nature’s garland
The Princess of the Sea,
Colorful as Galaxies dust
Catches watchful eyes off-guard

The Naked Love
A rendition of naked love
Emotional and vivid....
Love is emotion and feelings that's alive
Till you die, it'll die together
Unforgettable memories are something
Keep haunting you
Love is so fragile but strong as a rock!
The greatest wave is the fear of losing someone
I want to be your umbrella and protect you
Openness will lead to solid strong bonding
Between two humans in love
We can see the truth after we've achieved something
Which is impossible…
Fate and destiny coincides and the day will come
When we felt the tears of the sun
That’s the day we will leave
Sorry seems to be the hardest word
I Rather be a slave of love... and obliged
Agony, pain and pleasure are the salt and sugar of life!
The darkness is sometimes a hidden brightness
