coexistence

the light can coexist
with the darkness
this is how
sunrise and dusk are born
life can coexist
with death
and that is how
suffering and agony haunt us
only love
can coexist
with love only
and that is why it is
so pure

contemplating the waterfall

the flowing water
sprang
from the heart of the mountain
sometimes calm crystalline
sometimes upset opaque
and it only stopped
on the edge of the precipice
there it stopped
scared by the power of heights
slept gently
in the arms of the mountain
loving and having been loved
then giving birth
to a child
whom they named
waterfall

Review "Invitation to Poetry" by Mihai Brinas.

Nicki White "While I have plenty of #poetry books that grace my shelf I don’t think they could hold a match to the #beauty that lies within these #words. They are powerful and bold. Remarkable and soft. They will forever be ingrained with me". #read #book #love #life

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that well-portrayed the beauty of poetry.

Reviewed in the United States

***Actual rating: 4.5/5 Heartfelt Stars***

This book consists of 61 poems and though each one of them looks simple and concise, it actually showcases the complexity as well as a deliberation of the selection of words. I’m truly amazed by how the things we usually take granted for could be so beautiful and if it weren’t for this collection of poems, I probably wouldn’t give poetry a shot since I never feel the power of written words in person.

Besides, I appreciate the way the author composes his works in this book because he not only chooses some of the most lyrical words in the English language, he also uses lower cases in most poems, especially the small “i” when it’s supposed to be “I,” referring to the first-person POV. I don’t know you but I actually like it when people talk about themselves with an “i” as if they don’t want to put too much emphasis on themselves since everyone is equally important in a conversation. Anyway, that’s just my interpretation of the overall arrangement of Invitation to Poetry and I hope you’ll love these poems as much as I do!
