ΧRYSOULA FOUFA

 

 

Blank

 

Silent lips kissed the emptiness

memories that ran away from truth

made consciences guilty.

A sword of lies conquered lives

leaving people cowards.

The leaves of roses

became bloody black

upon the rusty rails

and the waves of the sea

never turned back to the shore…

 

Inner Self

 

Open your eyes and see the universe

-a picture of a painter

either nice or torn-.

Close your eyes and look at your soul.

Everything lies there

hidden in your inner self:

thoughts, dreams, desires,

light and darkness.

The universe becomes a river

that flows inside you.

You hear its voices,

you sense the winds,

you capture the beauty.

You are the man of the universe.
