Cyprus Poems - Poems about Cyprus

"Perfect Couple" He was the fire from distant skies, With storm-born soul and ancient eyes. A sailor turned sage, bold and wise, Who walked with gods and heard their cries. She came like twilight on the sea, A hush of grace, serenity. Soft in her step, strong in her gaze,...

Days are short and nights are long, We no longer sing the summer song. As the nights draw in, log fires burning,, Going out at night has lost it's yearning. At home we can enjoy our meal, Cooked in love, it has its appeal. Both now sated, a glass of wine, In front of the fire we rest supine. The coldness of night,the...

I know an isle, to Love the long-lost home, the sea's white waves, the sun's hot rays caress. Necessity, that most cruel fate of all, has banished Love, yet may not quite suppress the present fragrance of a sacred past. On Trodos, pines still keep their sweet incense. The while it lasts, no honeymoon can...

Inspired by good friends, Nice people we meet Coming from all different places, Youngsters, to our delight are Pleased to sit and chat with us in the Relaxed atmosphere of the Taverna at night Under the soft light of a Star studded sky. This is my Cyprus. © Dave...

In a land that boasts You can be warm as toast, Because the sun shines here, Every day of the year. Today the opposite is true, My fingers are turning blue. The heaters on high while I watch TV, Bed is inviting it seems to me. Sitting here wrapped up tight, In a sleeping bag, what a sight! Hot water bottle ready and hot tea...

Open the eyes of my heart As open as the space In the Leland Cyprus Let the gap see truly thee Open the eyes of my heart Let the spirit flow inward Filling to the overflow Let me have compassion Open the eyes of my heart Let the spirit flow outward With love, tenderness Caring and concern Open the eyes of my heart Seeing all the world's...

For those of you who city dwell. A painful tail I have to tell. And I mean T-A-I-L . Not that I mean to yell. How many of you are familiar with the Cyprus Knee. It’s just a little bittie Cyprus, small as can be. I mean, if it gets any taller you would probably call it a tree not a knee....
