ZACHAROULA GAITANAKI


ZACHAROULA  GAITANAKI


HAPPINESS

How bright…
They are unrecognizable
the roads of happiness.




WITHOUT  LOVE

I look back on
your memory
without love.





SUNNY DAY

It’s a bright day.
I’m looking forward to
meeting you.





IN LOVE

Darkness everywhere.
But you came and it’s gone,
my beloved.





A DREAM

A dream
will keep my hope
alive.
