SOFIA SKLEIDA

POETRY

Sharing opinions

Initiation

Emotional involvement

Reminiscence

Resurrection of the heart

Refinement

Reconstruction

Estrus of our mind

Endless artistic search

Fight the aging of our soul

An immense sky

The stars are dressed the sunlight

And I stay here ...

PLUCKED MOMENTS

Plucked moments our courage

Like a daisy in the mercy of God

A poppy in a desert field

Like your eyes just faded ...

The Return - Il ritorno

Easy the passage of time

His veil covers everything

And the return with boldness

opposes the philosophical quest

GOLD WREATH

Touches the divine perfection

Your presence, your purpose

I carve you artistically

To match the Byzantine wise men,

the rulers of the Europe

I touch you with reverence

Knitting prudence, humility

At the end I dress you in endless kisses

Golden Dawn

Make the tale of life

Open abyss

And give  to me

Fragments of the  historical fragrance!

Dedicated to my son Stefanos
