The Bliss Delusion Tango

From her opening verses, Maria-Cristina Necula invites the reader to get entangled in her personal tango between bliss and delusion, her soul’s two dance partners harmoniously entwined yet challenging each other with every elaborate tango move of her poetic perceptions. Love, religion, identity are called into question, yet the underlying feeling is one of transcendence, as if the poet were aware of a freeing reality beyond time, self and the human condition. A glimpse of nirvana? Perhaps. Or simply, an unbearably impossible longing to surpass the barriers of her own self, while fearlessly embracing and striving to understand her experiences.
