ZANNETA KALYVA PAPAIOANNOU

THE SPRING

The coming of Spring
flowers will bring
and Angel Gabriel will offer
to the Virgin Mary the lily.

All yards are
full of roses and lilacs,
anemones and hyacinths,
whispering love songs.

“You love me”,
“you don’t love me”,
you play with daisies,
walking on squares
and asking for your mate.

Cyclamens and jasmines
in little vases,
beautiful and fresh
they always look forward to you.




NOSTALGIA

On bed of pain,
alone, a night,
I wish I had
your touch.

I feel nostalgia,
I’m scared of the lust
and with a big pain
I cry your name.





MEMORIES

America’s places I missed
a midday,
and with pain in my heart
I remembered… all the past.

The beautiful years
we passed together,
always in laughter,
love and affection.





LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL

Life is so beautiful,
it’s made for love,
but we never know
what it will happen to us.

So, take delight in
all this beauty
and never think
about fame and wealth.
