    About this ebook

    Lines of poetry and glimpses at stories about life aspects all glued together with the lyrics that I managed to combine for an atmospheric dynamic writing-project - at times fun but mostly dramatic in various ways. A pièce gathered in the form of an e-book that I hope you will enjoy. The reader can find here aspects of the world of artistic living as well as of life - everything that gets haunted by feelings, thoughts and whatever those two combined might provoke and evoke in any human search for an answer to nothingness and the meaning of it or simply some fun-time read.
    There is a warning to be made, always, in respects to any piece of work where the soul or the idea of soul is involved: It's dangerous a thing to laugh too much at it, so, yes! Keep your self respect up! Respect your souls!

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Something to Follow - Theodora Oniceanu

      Something

      to Follow

      the simple terms you wanted

      Joan and the Communions

      The voices of Joan have helped:

      Those voices of Joan have erased the past,

      Screaming: it's over! Are you... ok?

      The voices of Joan have rescued me from all trouble that I could not handle!

      Voices of the ones I once loved: all left behind!

      The voices of Joan lifted me up

      And I learned how to fly!

      Their vices shut me down,

      Got lit back by the candle of love.

      Who loved me and why?

      I am still asking myself and I look down

      On the Planet, I left behind;

      From above I send my blessings to you to do well, to do good,

      I was and still am your nicest friend.

      Perhaps this was your problem;

      I'm sorry if it's such a great offense,

      But no sorrows can bring back a friend and help me trust someone else again.

      I will have to do well with whatever comes in hand;

      I will have to surrender to a peculiar faith

      And be strong,

      Believe that others might just believe in the same things that I do.

      To all my friends out there, left behind: be strong and beautiful as you always were!

      I'm sorry: my tears were supposed to extinguish the fires unfairly lit

      and carry down the river

      the candles of our lost hopes and dreams for humanity.

      And now I find that I can love again!

      Don’t listen to the voices of blind and senseless souls!

      They have forgotten how’s to be human a long-long time ago;

      Sometimes I find myself wondering if they were ever born

      From flesh and bone to bone

      with flesh-like behaviour.

      Do not let tears fall more than they have to for a fault induced,

      Infused

      By the lovely people out there you confused with your heroes,

      Your team-mates, your possible friends:

      With friends like that you’ll find yourself better among the enemies.

      I only wanted to be happy, we all hurt sometimes, you must know;

      My song didn’t say so!

      Nevertheless, we all have to die alone, together we die alone:

      Don’t make it happen too soon,

      Together can be done alone,

      We all have to suffer for what we have done, haven’t done

      To realize how stupid, we all were!

      I only wanted you to be happy! Why can’t you be so?

      Darling, in my case, happiness is only a miracle…

      ONLY.

      WhyshouldIcrynowfortellingthetruth?

      For saying how things are? This was the perspective we lived!

      Why should I cry for seeing through the veils you all make shine under my eyes…?

      : believe, make-believe:

      Why should I suffer for seeing, on a white screen,

      The projections of my mind happening?

      Why should I be punished for imagining?

      Why should I shed some more tears

      for all the imagined things that happen-didn’t happen,

      We all have nightmares or dreams that we carry along on the strings:

      On fired-up ropes we dance and hope for the best; our best!

      No nightmare should be lived:

      I must have devoured it!

      I had to let it out: oh, the fault now! The fault!

      Ropes devouring the screens that are not happening,

      Killer ropes that must have hated us for what we couldn’t achieve!

      Forgive,please,forgive…!Itwasn’tourgoalforyoutobegonethisyoung!

      Bravegirl!Forgiveusall!

      Oh, brave-brave Joan! Forgive us all for sentencing you to: Heaven!

      The Bad Sailor Captain

      Duff-up, differ, duffer suffer, laughter

      And … - Jo(ooo)y! the smile is wide open,

      He’s the same old lunatic

      You all loved.

      I just need to say this:

      Perhaps I’ll end-up in tears

      Since I don’t have a Bitdefender

      Of Premium Gaze.

      The Geese I am waiting for are now long forgotten,

      They found another girl, a different boy

      Someone who was trained to be a fighter

      And not told the loser they must be

      For the entire family!

      On the waves of to-day, to-maroon, too sweet:

      Don’t sweat too much, only breathe!

      Take a bow, maybe two,

      Embrace the light of the Universe you loved believing was honest and true,

      Bringing you to the deserving truth.

      Butthetruthisaboutreason

      And reason is cruel sometimes!

      The truth is about having faith in the brainwaves

      telling you which lies covered for what and why!?

      The truth is an illusion,

      It is not real, you see?

      The truth, this Truth

      Is nothing but the idea

      Of who we used to be.

      Perhaps now I’ll know better,

      Why I was punished too;

      I must have been too evil

      -We should get even though-

      Or only weak enough for you

      To use me like a puppet

      Then throw me back to life

      Could you forgive me for not wanting what you wish for

      ~ to own? ~

      I want!

      Where is that justice, sailor?

      Where did you find it, huh!?

      Oh, yes! Like all gods,

      It must reside in You!

      In Me you would have found it!

      I wasn’t there, for you!

      Was I too hard and bad,

      too mean to carry on with, dear?

      You couldn’t see me

      But just for that fact

      The matter got a little distorted

      Yet, the path

      Wasn’t all ruined!

      Only

      Particular pieces of clothing

      You

      Have to be true.

      You couldn’t see me but that

      doesn’t mean I didn’t help you through!

      Where is that justice, girl-dude?

      Where are we, now, my friend!?

      Where is that love you needed

      When lost in tears that burned

      All memories,

      All troubles,

      Your fears along with mine!?

      All fights you fought

      And laughs you laughed

      You ran away because one is one

      While many conquer the world

      Together;

      Will you be allowed to feel accomplished forever?

      You need your loneliness to make you strong forever…

      together with the spirit of the greatest leader;

      Then things will be much better.

      Atease,soldier,thecaptainspoke!

      You are no longer in the team of hope!

      Since everything’s delusion

      Your faith must be confused

      Howcanone’sFaithbecomeconfused?

      Don’taskme,search-inforyourself.

      Researchers having their mind set on losing

      a bad enough team.

      I simply needed to say this,

      Perhaps the end is near,

      Maybe the cries were not fair nor ok;

      I hoped for miracles to happen

      The world’s still there, destroyed

      By Hurricanes and thunders,

      By human-greedy wars

      We lead just every day now,

      with neighbours or with friends,

      I didn’t want to be a part of it

      You made me…

      Now my tears will be revengeful!

      Make them right, please!

      -make it right, this time of all those years-

      Awordaboutfairness,Captain!

      Thewordwasspokenthroughteeth,

      Through the thunderous grief

      And through the melodies of the too damn sweet!

      Not from our team

      You are not from our tea, you are too sweet!

      Not from our team, dear! To bitter, you see!?

      There, have a mirror,

      A whole set of them: watch and see!

      There is the button to hold and press

      For you to remember

      Why You

      And Why Me!

      You’re not from our team, girl, not my cup of tea!

      You’re too mean and too hard on my chest!

      What did I do to you

      So, I deserved this!?

      Not from our end, the end is something beautiful, my friend:

      I earned it!

      Go earn your wisdom and your inner self… again

      ‘cause someone else needed to get it instead! Ok!?

      How’s that fair?

      The world needed a better girl or man!

      Someone who cared

      Because the greatest family of all

      Was there for them!

      Not from our tea,

      Enjoying the preview?
