Two Poems by Nicole Sara

Bio

Nicole Sara is a bilingual poet from Romania, with a Master’s Degree in Philology and American Studies. She loves languages and performing magic with words in both playful and dreamy, insightful ways. Writing verse feels otherworldly to her, a portal towards infinite possibilities, always unexpected and liberating.

Nicole began by writing poems in Romanian, and in 2016 she also started pairing the originals with their translation into English on her blog. She finds inspiration in the beauty and intelligence of everything around.

“Rhyming Dreams”, Nicole’s debut collection of poems was self-published on Amazon in 2024, inspirational verse deeply rooted in personal moments and experiences but still wonderfully universal, so that one may feel taken by the hand and shown the beauty and brightness of it all within or without.

Nicole’s work in English has also appeared in the literature magazine SpillWords Press and “Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku” published by Literary Revelations. Her poems are shared monthly on the online literary sites, Gobblers by Masticadores and MasticadoresRumania. She is currently completing her second poetry collection, which she hopes to release later this year.

Aside from writing, photography is Nicole’s other great love and source of inspiration. A nature enthusiast, when she is not writing, she can be found clicking away, exploring the outdoors and capturing images which she shares on her blogs and photography sites.

Happiness

love every moment like an amazing wave –
minutes for miles, effortless
and brave
love each as if it were a star or a caressing flower,
a winding step that spirals
up a tower…

love its white wing, and its prismatic beam –
its every trace
treading suave like in a dream,
love deeply, all the heartbeats of the sun
and ever
through seconds, etching deary
endeavor…

and if you were to fail to love it, the moment –
burning ember,
will fill the timeless air with wonderful
remember

The Way Forever

The words are coming down like rain,
but thoughts just break against a cloud,
for morning’s robe of bare winter
is clothing me in dawn and doubt…

Whispering steps, and hopes, and minutes
flowing like hours till the quiet night,
sound aloof and murmur through the silence
like days undressed of wonderment and light…

And still, the seeking, numberless and shy,
unrest and waiting, all calm down, no yearns,
as rays of loving, dear, warm and sweet
draw me along suave caressing turns…

As walking and arriving are the way forever,
a road, a pathway, sheltering much feeling,
although the steps keep throbbing so away
unending quest for more or deeper meaning…

In August, Literary Revelations is set to unveil a stunning album of fine-art photography by the acclaimed Japanese artist Naoki Kimura. Measuring a refined 8.3 inches wide by 11.7 inches tall, this collection promises to be a visual feast, printed on the finest paper that Amazon offers.

What sets Kimura’s work apart is his unparalleled mastery of monochrome photography, which exquisitely captures the mesmerizing dance of light and shadows—transforming each image into a profound experience. The artist’s extraordinary photographic technique has garnered him countless awards and provided him with the opportunity to showcase his fervent dedication to beauty in art at numerous prestigious international exhibitions.

The collection also includes short prose, haiku, and tanka, written by Naoki Kimura.

This album is a collector’s piece. I hope you will enjoy it.
