ANTONIS FILIPPEOS

 

Beams  Of Light

Come again and discover the inception

I left in the depths of time,

to feel like a fighter again

for all the happiness that I deserve

to have with you,

my real dream,

my sweet illusion.

I gain life when she enrages

and slips from your wet lips 

that play with words.

I protest my hand to stop them.

Maybe silence is better 

than thirst for tender words

that I desperately need. 

I listen to the pauses for hours

pauses that touch the silenced chords,

the heartbeats that I want to share with you, 

the quakes of soul

that unlocked forlorn feelings

to touch you.

 

Idols

At inward places

the dark past

always nests

wet, dreary!

Visions bathe in waters

cold of sorrow

that emerges…

Solitude stagnates

in the past moments.

Smiles try to rise in the light,

to see how the wheels of life turn around.

Waves from nearby seas,

wild, grey

come to children that innocently draw

clouds of golden sand, 

and edge in a breaths time.

The idols of snow

melt by the light

are forgotten as time goes by

and vanish like burning candles…

 

Appeal

Touch me

for the first and for the last time.

Love me

as if I was your first love. 

Cry out how much you want me.

Feel my thirst, 

enslave me…

Show me what is to be with you.

Take me to heaven,

exile me to hell, 

and let me get lost in fire

like a sin.

Let me blow out in your arms,

be a lost wish

to remember me!
