When You Return Again

 

Can it last longer

can it be stronger like a first kiss

like the entrance of eternity into a kiss

drops of dawn dew on your forehead

white sails on a blue summer sea, blue sky

a deep touch of humanity on my sleeve

a dove I met at a street corner, fed

with my last crumbs of bread.

A dove, carries on her wings all the questions

anxieties, all the sins of the day

taking away whatever burdens us, and dissolves

negative experiences, thoughts of the last decade.

So, when you kiss me again today, tomorrow

next week, like a new day without obstacles

with free wings of happiness in your conscious

and unconscious mind.

A passionate new kiss is sealed on our lips

Keep this moment on your body like a new birth

keep all chances open on the periphery of life

like

green meadows of affection

Aegean Sea Sounds And Scenes

 

You travel with me, an unfinished story

touching my skin like a galloping horse

since birth you covered me with dawn dew

drawing with your lips a rainbow on my heart.

Brightening my shadowy valleys with your sky’s light.

My sleep awakens with your love rays.

My body travels through your continent of love.

with the intense blue of your eyes

narrate the journey of passion to my soul!

Touch me, till darkness exhausts itself.

Chronicle the story of our existence.

The reason for our genesis, heart’s sensitivity explain

narrate to my descendants

events escaping their awareness.

Hear! Love re-grows its sacred plains and valleys

mountain springs and waterfalls of body and mind

the cosmic entrance of understanding opens

future Love grows, to understand how

as sunrise gives birth to blueness

the Aegean Sea returns my human face.

Continents Of Love

 

Migratory birds

carry on your wings

vastness.

Ancient ballads

narrate the winds

arriving on the shore

love’s story.

Ask the sea’s

hidden currents

its caves, its coves

the sea’s enormity

her light, her blueness

the waves’ echo

 

Ask the sea to reveal

if love fills continents.

Does the wind sense

love’s breeze

between dawn

and expectation?

In the continent

of destiny

ask time

the sand’s voice

the rocks’ silence

the roundness

of the pebbles

to strengthen you

with the richness

of Love.
