To those who think that Greece does not matter today, let me say that they could not make a bigger mistake. Today, like old Greece, is of the utmost importance for anyone looking to find himself.

Here the senses are true, Dikti

22 May, 2025
Here the senses are true, Dikti

Diktynna, acrylic 0,60 X 0,90, Roussetos Panagiotakis

Here the senses are true, Dikti

The dream has faded,

so they were afraid,

foreign voices, the kind that weave darkness.

In a secret balcony, unexpectedly,

with pure eyes

A prayer for a full moon.

The place wants to have me,

the place that didn't give me golden fruits,

But, it brought me honor and pride.

Your stone will save the soul, Diktis,

the wind of the peak,

breath of the goddess, she,

It protects me from bad opinion.

and the insidious lover.

Diktynn, here,

My mother's memory led me, alone,

but, not with reckless steps.

A butterfly

leaves the cocoon of trivialities,

The centuries have gone so low tonight.

Full moon the Minoan route,

on the brow of the night,

with the silence of innocence,

breath and longing

and then, the sea, an image from above,

Secret paths, forgotten words,

And you, goddess, beloved Diktynn,

there in Libya,

with the moon on your face,

You wash the dust from your veil.

Magic and miracles,

in a shell all closed.

The first rays of sunlight dry out the lips.

Thirst, a hostile arrow, lurks.

August, where it meets the sun,

without a cloud promising,

There, at noon, he called me:

"You didn't worship shadows, you have unscathed time in your hands

and the signs of saltiness in the eyes… »

In front of you, everything else

the heart confesses, the mind is troubled,

the indicators of life in another east

And I, I am nothing,

no, as long as I am a peel from the wild rock,

your own Judge.

And while in chaos, the aloutsuna spreads roots

and from its ripe fruit

The priestess will paint her lips red again,

destined for eternal initiation

I want this flame, even if it burns me.

The light writes new mental lines,

Time, unfair to the eye, extinguishes anger

but not thirst.

"He climbed, his numb fingers,

They will find a way for the ancient lyre to sound

and the motionless snake, ring in hand

"as soon as the wild roses become yours."

The false hours are wandering

and unruly desires painted in gold

they push you to ruin.

I am naked but not shameless, that's how you want me, Diktynn.

"Even the clouds find us in their time,

"Free yourself from fear and death,"

echo in the saddles. I am thirsty.

The hawks in circular dances of the sky

signs of an ancient cult,

on the edge of the cliff

the partridges spread their wings,

unbridled mind,

succumbs to myth,

You love risk.

Not a single tree from your sacred forests,

Diktynn,

and not a word about you anymore,

and yet, the smell of pine and fir

You have given me communion and I no longer doubt.

The flutterings of love are untamed,

Here the senses are true, Diktis,

It is not deceptive,

just the size of the universe

and the wind, a pirate, shouts

the fate of people and the world.

Let only the cry rise

without the halo of glory

and let the soul become a banner

in this sacred balcony of yours, Diktynn,

Loose hair, bare feet,

and with bloody fists,

beauty returns.

Curse on rusty consciences

and to the stray

the curse of fear

How many summers have I missed?

Tomorrow, call me with the same word...

Love…

Tomorrow, in the name of love
