ANDROMACHI BENEKOU

 


 

Edelweiss

 

The touch trembles the gaze hovers

with rustling leaves it rests on the shoulder

the lips tremble, red raspberry

they went out on the path of love's plan.

 

The soul has borne flowers of emotions

frozen image around them all

the rain of smiles has sunk

the awkward gaze looks at the bracelet.

 

A sweet south wind arrives

with traveling skies descends

a heart pierced by the arrows of the gaze

it breathes quickly, it spreads beats and noise.

 

Budding branches, they bend at the edge

they betray impatient love

silently sprout like a tear

naked in the forest shadow, they are not seen.

 

Penetrating liquids, perfumes overflow

the horses wait, they ride

other unknown lands they behold

the beginning of eternity they guess.

 

Balloon

 

I found myself on earth

asking the sky

why am I so small …

how did I end up here…

 

A colorfull balloon follows me

in the sunlit sky

My root stuck in the earth

my gaze on the spirit of God.

 

If I enter the flow of the wind

a black whirlwind, white lightning

maybe it will take me further

to the afterlife celebration…
