SOFIA SKLEIDA

NEAPOLI

The sky is clear, pure

The full moon was decorated separately

with hedonic forms

The boats are midway

In the harbor they were moving playfully

in the rhythm of the wind

Love was restless tonight ...

And yet so unique,

almost supernatural

Imagine and shyness

competing in the eternal moment

His glory

invites the fun lovers of

Aphrodite΄s spectacle ...

POEM AWARDED AT THE LITERARY COMPETITION OF RETHYMNO,

APRIL 2015, CRETE, GREECE

MORTALITY

The words are blunted, they lose their meaning

The cosmidoid are broken down

and the values are self-abolished

I meet your gaze at the depth of the silence

He nods to me by rolling silently a tear

Are we dead, do you feel it?

The sounds are looking for syllables

The bodies are epidermically tied in the dark

and the light of the dawn is slow to come

I invite you on our fleeting journey!

CHORD

Music is heard

Breaks the barrier of time

The memories are stacked

You always guide...

In this backyard

the Women's dance

gives his own performance

with the collusion of rare musical instruments
