SOFIA SKLEIDA
SENTIMENTAL
EXALTATION
Ballads, violins, candles
And this glimpse of your own
imagination
that crosses the narrow borders of
the world
The canals of the mind
Those who unite the nostalgic past,
the intense present and the
uncertain future
I want those...
And a little reminiscence
Self-immolation
To
see you again
To taste you
Let me flatter you
And in the anguish of the moment to
re-portray images of erotic passion
Pure love and desire
A naked truth that touched the
souls
Shallow the memory
Eternal the expectation
Abyssinian Plain the emotional intensity…
CANVAS
Shells, beautiful corals will
collect from the abyss of your eyes
Pearls adorned they imagine
Light and shine are scattered drifting the hesitation, the embarrassment of
the moment
Your lips seal your noble image
Cool the flame of the soul
Infinite thoughts, endless mental
whispers, noises
Stable figure your eternal
inaction, your immobility
No, I do not oblige
Invocation
With respect, I bless your transcendent existence
The one who comes and goes
It is captured and lost
It goes ahead and follows
and the soul adorns you with angel
wings …
FOR
THAT KISS ...
For that look you begged by leaving
For those nights you cried, lifting
all the burdens of the world
You felt betrayal flowing like a
sweat on your forehead
The injustice to frustrate you
The Hypocrisy to change your will
The lie to greet you with
stubbornness
For that bitter kiss we exchanged
in our thoughts and kept in our souls ...

Dear Poet Sofia Skleida, Your intelligence with the written word is astounding. My favorite poem is "Sentimental Exaltation". It expresses a deep yearning to find, to see, to touch, a love that is out of reach forever. It burns the soul with anguish. I am from the USA. So glad to meet you, and hear your words!
