"Forbidden Sea" is a lyrical poem, which arrived suddenly after a bout with cancer. Her close encounter with death brought life into a sharp focus, awoke in her the eternal questions about the meaning of human existence, the magnetism of love, the mysteries and the vicissitudes of human fate. The sea is present not only as a magnficent view, but also as a spontaneous rhythm, as a myth, a symbol of life, love, infinity, and freedom. Freedom was lacking in Bulgaria, a dictatorship with an iron censorship, a country where not only the sea was "forbidden," but also "words!"
