Hermits of the night

Hermits of the night

With words of fortune tellers on the lips to fight, your shadow the light of oblivion, calls me with an empty shell circle the shape of the cup inside. How are endurances tested tonight, the soul has opened up again, other journeys, I don't have you, but neither remorse nor guilt, I'm bored with living the same and the same. Elsewhere the...

Are you afraid?

Are you afraid?

You are afraid, the awakening of the world within you, you grow old, your thoughts deepen, the darkness lights up, old openings, lightly shadowed by desire, the lips half-open, the flames intoxicate you, but these gray, cloudy shoulders do not leave you. Now the twilight is rushing more, this time when they dance...

Cyprus 1974… in the unfair light

The earth is still a monster from the sea of eyes and from the blood of innocents. A monster. This deep sorrow, the heartbreak, the memories are a fountain in the soil. The pain has filled the hearts with time, the bitterness has become a leech on the open lips to swallow the smile insatiably....

Better foreign than sour

Better foreign than sour

What if she raised her head high and searched the sky? So many stars lit up, so much silver in the moon and she had never let a little light drip into her soul, ever. She weaved dark shadows in her mind and there they were lost. Always suspicious, with everyone and everything. She searched with a...

 Life, on a chessboard

 Life, on a chessboard

In the same cantouni, she always made a mistake, "two hellish people in heaven by mistake", the whisper had remained on the disembodied wall with the engraved decoration, there every time the same wrong turn, the same Helen in ignorance of boundaries even with the fluid form of ghosts...
