LIFE IN RHYMES (Viața în versuri)
As a child I always enjoyed reciting poems. Even when I was three years old I could
learn short poems by heart and I would recite them to anyone. The mere fact that people
smiled and gave me a big ‚Well done!’ made me happy. Later on when I learned how to write
(I was about 5 years old) an idea crossed my mind. Why not write poems myself? I don’t
know how good or how nice my first poem was but I remember the joy in my mother’s eyes
and this encouraged me to write even more.
I saw in poetry a getaway. Every time I was sad, disappointed or simply sulky I used
to lock myself in my room and write and write till night came and I fell asleep. Sometimes
when sleep forgot all about me, the dawn came catching me with a pen in my hand, still
writing. Once I put the pen on the paper I could not stop. Poetry has always helped me
express what I feel, what I think and what I see without any restraint. When I write I can talk
about anything, about things that I could never mention to anyone. It is the ‚place’ I go to
when I can no longer trust anyone. It is my wonderful world with nothing ugly in it. Though
poetry I can render the beauty of nature in a way that even the saddest person can see it.
Everything is so nice in rhymes! I can say that I could never imagine a world without poetry.
Poetry is my entire world!

Love in rhymes
With you I fall asleep at night
With you in mind I wake up
Day by day about your face
I think and think again.
Second by second
You’re in my mind,
You’re like a shadow
That can’t forsaken me.
You’re like a drug to me,
Without you I cannot live
Only with you I feel alive
I live only to love you.
You are a part of me
You brought the sun into my life,
Beside you I feel good
All I want is that you love me.
There is nobody I love
As much as I love you
You’re all I ever think about
And how to make it good for us.
Whatever may happen to us
I will never forget you,
You’ll always be in my heart
You and our entire past.
I won’t forget the moments when
We were the happiest
Even if the ending hurts
We deeply loved each other.
But I won’t think of separation
As life is not life without you
You are and you will always be
A part of my own self.
