SOFIA SKLEIDA

 

Τurbulence

 

Deafening sounds surround us

Strong winds, painful…

Anger overcomes our flesh

Eternal the cycle of life

We are immersed in absolute darkness

We cannot catch up

The endless journey

And the last hymn accompanies us

Salvation in a Godless homeland is unbearable…

 

 

Inaction

 

I will make one last effort

to write a poem

I want to talk about life, about pirates, about robbers

For legal or illegal benefactors

who stand out for their noble life

But it is impossible

Hands do not help

Remain

in an unspeakable torturous

inaction

The thought freezes and the inspiration leads to an extreme walk

while the eyes seek a ray of salvation

or forced flight…

 

 

You swear eternal submission at the time when souls

 get sick

Too bad to live and ignore

without finding the power of forgiveness…

 

 

My Beloved

 

You're gone. Just like that.

Imperious ...

I will remember you

Filled the book of your life…

Be careful in your new journey

The ladder you will climb is without traps, free

If you get cold, dress your nature,

your soul

The one that  raised you

honored you ...

Remember ...

To sculpt your form

We will talk to you with notes and colors

and you can send us violins and angels ...

We meet again in the Celestial City ...
