I LOVE YOU

n my office in Piraeus, 29.10.1990

I love you… I love you!

I love the sun

that shines on your cheek.

I love the moon

that crowns your head.

I love the stars

that shine in your eyes

shining

your magical nights.

Your tears

water my infertile islands

and refresh the flowers

of my eternal spring.

Your voice calls me!

Your gaze penetrates my life’s secrets!

Your thought interprets my dreams

and reveals my upcoming love!

You really are a magician in love

and an angel who swims

in the water of my distant ambitions!

CHATTING WITH LOVE

I am burning

between the memories

of the past

and the present.

When we are happy

the muscles of our hearts

are fed

with the sweet chat’s perfumes

and our warm dalliance.

We do not seek the past

as we don’t need our memories

to awaken our passion.

So, we play love’s game,

whose eternal heroes

will be you and me!

THE EMPTY CORNER

The place hasn’t changed

and you can still smell

the scent of love.

But this time,

she’s not there.

My heart is talking

with the language of memories

and the empty corner

is smiling at me.

I loved that Balkan girl

from the beginning.

Yes, the language of the past

spoke at my presence

but at your absence.

I swear in the name of your love,

Gordona*,

that our common story

shall never be erased!

*Gordona is a Yugoslavian girl I fell in love with in the city of Novisaad.
