Visitors of the Sun

Our thoughts, like the sea with its white pebbles,
painted by its foam.
The waves come little by little, to halt them.
There, I see Greece.

Beneath the clouds that hide the sun,
its furrows moving back and forth like visitors.
They were forgotten on a pale islet at the horizon, where the gaze can reach.

In a small glass of red

Greece's sun is warmer than other suns
her floral and fauna are prettier
she is the place where dreams come true
every doorway hides a story of love
it is the place where people go to be whole

kefalonia dreaming

all the bins were out
skies had turned to charcoal grey
as I grabbed my coat

walking in the rain
my mind on fiscardo bay
where its warm and dry

couldn't help dreaming
of hot grecian sun in may
on recycling day

Premium MemberWild Fires Greece 2023

Arsonists almost eighty, are
under arrest.' What to expect?
Zealots for climate cause?
Causing death; life attests!
Devestating action to cause
Draconian reactions? How
Much is reported? And what
Treatment(have they courted?)
Who will defend them? What
Will authoritys hand them?
A soft time of counceling? A
Time at Davos? Maybe a
A cancelling? I think that is
Far better, i'm not much on it
Per se' yet here

         Santorini, Greece

I see a sunny bedroom where almost
everything is Santorini blue.
Our clothes, scattered everywhere.
And me, asleep, under a silky 
sheet!
Your chest, my heavenly,sweet pillow, 
a cherished and memory to keep.

Our vast window can be seen with
Santorini and those great,blue domes 
peeking in.
The full moon lights the

Premium MemberCourtyards In Greece

I was pretty sure I had seen the prettiest courtyard
Until I travelled to Greece and saw sixty of them
Each one unique, none of them comparable to another
Beauty in a variety of gorgeous, pleasant ways
Every corner I turned seem to have a new one or two
I wonder if every decorator in Greece is an esthetic genius

AN ILL-FATED ADDRESS

Being on holiday in Athens was truly the best 21st present 
my parents could have given me, stayed with my granddad,
felt great, I traveled on my own, no more an adolescent.
Sad that I would not see my grandma, she died five years prior.
My grandpa had angina and my godmother who was grandpa’s 
cousin,

The Death of Destiny, Part Iii

...The blade sunk deep and blood did spurt,
flesh of a goddess defiled,
Enktantas shrieked, fell to his knees,
but Ananke only smiled.

“I feel it draining out of me,
the force of life slipping away…
Oh, thank you for releasing me…”
those were the last words she did say.

She collapsed there, down to the ground,
the great scroll just fell to the
