Dawn

 

Bloody lips

from the kiss of the sun

they sow verses

the dawn...

Thirsty patience

who looks carefree

the shadow of loneliness,

the steps of pain

they paint smiles

in the rosy body of silence...

Dawn smoke

from drunken steamers

and ports of woe

that soothe the cloudiness of the soul...

Dawn and the twilight of the sea

meets the sandy shore of thoughts.

A summer to enjoy

our coffee

next to the beach

of our nostalgic memories!...

 

The Escape

 

All ephemeral

a girl wearing

a black scarf

holds the body of the moon

at night the moon

escapes from the warmth

of the girl and swims carefree

in the depths of an unknown sea

The girl with the black scarf

standing for hours in the harbor

crying, searching for other moons

to sleep in her own wooden bed,

the poor one in her tearful eyes

now her dreams are setting sail

A little further from the port

an old sailor wearing dark glasses

talks to the sun

the sky is waiting for him

to flutter warmly

high, high in eternal joy...

All these faces look alike,

like protagonists of a virtual

a play is connected by an escape...

An unspeakable longing to step into the eternal

wearing clothes worn out by memories...

Escape is a figure

unmoving,

wrapped in the wind of pain

her cheeks are white dove

resting on a cloud of anguish...

All ephemeral

but it's enough to kiss

from the mouth of the soul

to give life to the ephemeral but sunny…life!

 

Τhe Face Of The Moon

 

The words also shone

unhooked

from the heart of hatred

A thought also dawned.

wearing a golden crown

bowed to

loneliness, the ephemeral futility...

The tear also shone

washed his face

of the moon,

the verse also shone

will always...be vigilant! -
