Vali Tsironi Poet Ballad

Hunger of the Night

Hunger of the night
a jasmine grow in the plate of the moon
fruits of the stars
in the pillow of dawn
draw the day...

 Pencils of the hearts
a bite on a dream
-fire in the mind-
write poems in the beds...

And the cycle of the grass
demolish the signs of the fly

-smiles of birds in a cup of memories...

Vali Tsironi
(from my poetry collection "The skirt of the knees...")

Paul Callus June 28, 2016 at 5:23 PM A lovely poem, Vali (short for Valentina?); I take it you are a night owl:) ~ Regards // paul Vali Tsironi June 28, 2016 at 5:32 PM Thank you very much for your comments Paul! Vali is sort for Chrysovalantou (a Greek name of course). Well it depends... Not all time a night owl... Sometimes just sleep! Sincerely Vali!
