Poem: Cathartic Eclipse 

Written and recited by Anca Mihaela Bruma
Song: "My Destiny"
Composed and performed by Ali Golroo

I witnessed the death of the universe…
Tumbling, crushing, spinning
in the maddening chaos
of the spiral Time!

Eternity… ceased to exist,
Time… was no more,
my soul ripped asunder
the stars… show no more!

Pleading internally
I succumb my farewells,
emptied my concavities,
ashes of solitude reminded me
of quixotic moments
dismissed involuntarily

you were oblivious to my presence
gazing emptily a brimming space,
surreality became my twisted fate
and no transition left for immortality!

My world is hushed
And I crave for volumes of light
in this glaring darkness of hope
succumbing throes
of cacophonous silence
cocooned in webs of deceit
awaiting the promised resurrection.

In these nights of forgetfulness
my poetry still bleeds inside me
in this realm there is an aeonic distance

between my Soul… and your Heart!

       Snapshots from the video poem 

  "Cathartic Eclipse" - 14th October 2015









                  This poem is about the Universe pushing us

           in the direction we need to go next!...




We say good byes to the old habits and welcome new beginnings, as notorious poet T.S. Eliot mentioned: “In my End is my Beginning!” It is a Time when new revelations come into focus, a time to adventure yourself in a sacred inner journey.




This lyrical writing reflects a Time Resurrection / Awakening, with radical changes and breakthroughs, freeing the Heart and to hold on what I consider my own personal integrity and authenticity. It is about the powerful emotion of “Apocalypse” , or I shall say an “inner Apocalypse”, which literally means “Revelation”, finding the balance between Inner versus Outside World.



Each of us carries trauma and pain that has been a direct effect of our disconnection from one another, as our society does not embrace our best, truest nature. This poem also depicts how our physical world—with its remaining old paradigm based on separation and disempowering as constant barriers among humans is removed and new foundations are settled, at physical, emotional as well spiritual level. I believe that The Cosmos call for deeply creative innovations at this point, reminding us that actualization of Self and Spirit requires complete acceptance of both physical and non-material realms.




This poem reveals that it is better not to cling anymore to the vestiges of WHO we were once, or the lifestyles we had, just release and move on, with a new identity, as authentic YOU! The tension between Truth and Dogma, Reality and Illusion, Commitment and Irresponsibility, Isolation and Unity can be finally dissipated.



Why “cathartic”? Because it is about release!!! And allow new changes to come in and with them we can all embark on a journey of Self-discovery.

Visual poetry sprawls beyond definable boundaries, but there are certain underlying coherences that unite much of what is otherwise a very disparate corpus. I wanted to show how powerful can be by associating the art of word in relation to visual ART.

It is incredible how much an experience is enriched when art forms are combined, one illuminating the other and requiring the use of multiple senses. It is this combination that seems to transform observers into participants and prompt them to notice things they might otherwise have missed. When the two or three mediums are presented together it adds to the artistic sensory input by increasing the emotional effect on the viewer/listener/person experiencing the art.

Through video/visual poetry I try to create a synthesis between poetry and film, generating associations, connotations and metaphors neither the verbal nor the visual text would produce on its own. Through visual and audio layering I am looking to make it more attractive to those who would not necessarily read the poetry. The visuals just create a subtext, with a series of suggestions and visual notes, embellishing the poem therefore the poet’s voice is not just heard but also “seen”.
