"In a Nutshell: A historical Sapphic romance set during the Regency period. Interesting characters, but average plot development. Started off well for me, but it couldn’t sustain the vibes. Anachronous and inaccurate in various ways, so better if read"

“1️⃣
I live to write, not write to live.
2️⃣
I died, came back — and all I did was laughing.
3️⃣
On walls I went — no pen, no power left. / My life without you looks like theft.
4️⃣
All pain — I mean it. All I mean is pain.
5️⃣
The moon is just an evil eye — of blue, of sighs.
6️⃣
Stop here, listen, bow, say nothing. / I was adrift — I built myself while aching.
7️⃣
I wish you’d written me — made earth much warmer.

Every book I’ve written belongs to a single heartbeat — Song for Life.From The Vigil Hour – Poems from the Heart of Turmoil, and the Healing with Life to Song for You and Song for Life itself, they are not separate stories but one continuous breath: light, love, eros, remembrance.
I began writing as a child in Bucharest, long before I knew that words could cross oceans. These poems waited in the dark for years, and now they stand in the light — where they always belonged.
Poetry is not what I do. It is what I am.

Cyprus • October 2025
I wrote SONG FOR LIFE – Poems from the Edge of Being entirely in English — not as a translation, not as an experiment, but as an act of instinct. English has been part of my inner rhythm for so long that it no longer feels borrowed. It is the space where my thoughts unfold, where silence finally finds words.This collection was born between Bucharest, Djibouti and Cyprus, during a time when I felt that language was the only form of shelter left. The poems came like fragments of breath — short, lucid awakenings that refused to vanish. I didn’t plan a book. I was simply writing to stay alive.
The voice of SONG FOR LIFE is intimate but unsentimental. It speaks to the threshold between pain and rebirth, to the strange clarity that follows after loss. Each poem carries the trace of an inner crossing — from anguish to light, from confusion to stillness.
I often say that it is not a book about grief, but about rebirth, and I mean that literally. It is a journey through the landscapes of the soul, an attempt to rebuild the self from what was once broken.
When my English-Romanian bilingual edition reached #5 worldwide in Amazon’s Eastern European Poetry eBooks (October 18, 2025), it felt as if a door had quietly opened between continents — proof that poetry still travels on breath alone.
To every reader who stopped for even a single verse: Thank You. You are part of the heartbeat that keeps these poems alive.
