Flower in the Dark

Flower in the dark
When my body
Can't move,
And I can't say
Words
And I blame life.

Flower in the dark,

Spirit playing
With feelings that
Take all my energy
Away.

Flower in the dark,
Somehow you know
The light comes 
Back
On you.

My book from Olympia Publishers

Early Reader’s Comments

J.C. (Switzerland):” I loved your poems. They are both poetic and understandable. I like that!” 

 R.B. (Switzerland):”A delight!” 

 D.G. (USA): "I finished Roxanity this morning. The title is GREAT! … and the content shines. It is the book of a very deep lady who has much to say about life and its ”goings on”. You captured the everyday life of regular people. Thanks!” 

 M.C. (Romania): "An honest book, romantic, strong, simple, but full of emotions and intense feelings, Bravo, Roxana! Proud of you!” 

L.B. (Finland): "The poems are beautiful. What I especially like about your book is that thanks to the indications of the dates of when each poem was written, one can read it almost like a diary. And it covers more than ten years of your life!"

 P.T. (Denmark):”These poems are short, sweet, and they all have a point. Sometimes surprising, sometimes humorous, but always showing deep understanding, even wisdom. We need more roxanity in this day and age.” 

Four clocks

1. 

   
   

   There are four clocks

   In my apartment

   One hanging

   On each room’s wall.

   They all show

   More or less

   The exact time.

   They are ticking

   My seconds,

   My moments,

   My life.

You… here with me

The flowers knew

All my heart tried

To hide.

The oceans waved

At all my confusion.

The seasons came

And went away.

But you are still

Here with me.

And now the book

The mirror of your heart

Millions of moods

And millions

Of thoughts.

In the end

Nothing matters,

Just how pretty

You look in

The mirror of

Your heart.

Travelling

I enjoy my travels,

New corners waiting

To be discovered,

The cozy atmosphere

Of new places

That make my

Soul recharge

With life.

At the end of the ocean

At the end of the ocean

You will find

My soul

Reaching for the sun

And the touch

Of the sand-

An eternity of life

Running through

My veins

And shining

Through my eyes.

Life as a glass of wine

1. 
   

   
   

   

   
   

   Look at life-

   Sometimes it feels

   Like a glass of wine,

   A good one I mean.

   If you drink it,

   You might get

   In a good mood

   Or you might

   Get completely tired.

   
   

Stop and start

1. 

   
   

   
   

   When you can’t stop

   Then don’t!

   When you had enough

   Tell yourself to stop.

   
   

   When you don’t want to do it

   Then don’t!

   When you want to try

   Tell yourself to start.

   
   

Finding and not finding

1. 

"I don't find myself
in the youngsters
or in anyone else,
I live my way,
I live my simple story
but I know that
I can shine my light
in the world."
R.B.

In the North- in the creative mood-

You better

1. 

   
   

   
   

   You better feel your feet
   When you walk
   You better see the clouds
   When you look at the sky
   You better see yourself
   In the mirror of the other
   You better love somebody
   When you accept
   You better live your life
   When you are not afraid.

Easter

Love… Now

(Life has inspired me)

I breathe the Universe,
I feel my body
And I tell myself:
What is: “NOW”?

The mind vibrates
Hidden tones
Thoughts are dancing
Down feelings.

Pain and anguish,
Water and wine.
Mind is hostile?
Everything is pointless?

On jowl is flowing
My tear.
It erases the pain,
Will remain the LOVE.

As a goddess you thank God for his creation, love and beauty. You are proud of being what YOU ARE.


By Roxana Bogdan

in Helsinki

Of fire

Golden fire,
Mute silence.
The sweet starling
Continually singing.

Flare on,
Rusted quill.
Girded heart
In a tired body.


Low flame,
Closed eyes.
Thought that is leaving
If you don’t pet it.

Sluggish flame,
Thrown chair.
Separated table
By the old bed.

Last look

I miss the last look

That you threw on me.

And I keep it as a memory

In thoughts continully.



I miss the sweet voice,

Calling for me

And the heart that brings

Vibes and doesn't fast.



I miss the carress

Of my dear lover

And the lips as honey,

That I only love.
