I Want to Dance
21 May 2025

Maybe I'm just a fish
In an aquarium
And the aqarium is in the sea.
Maybe I need to look above my head
And give freedom a chance.
Maybe I'm just a snail
Who sits in its shell too often.
Maybe I can use my eyes too.
I like feeling and I hate seeing,
But maybe I can feel with my eyes too.
Maybe I don't need to learn how to dance,
But only to remember how it's done,
Even if I've never danced before.
At times I have this vision,
A pen spinning on paper,
That's how I want to dance.

"I write and I sing. I keep most of it for myself, but lately I've been trying to show the world what I'm doing and what's going on in my mind because I think art should bring us closer to the others. I love writing poetry and short stories. I've been published before by Translation Cafe with a bilingual (RO/EN) edition of my poems. I've also published in Ficțiunea OptM short stories and poems."
