Short Hellenic Poems

A cop on the Doughnut Diet
Persuaded his wife to try it
As if it were fate
They both ate and ate
Because they loved grease and fry it...

I love you before love itself was born,
And the feelings were created and made,
I loved you before Venus sounded her horn,
To appear from the sea and shade,
The Hellenic beauty-virgins who mourn,
The lack of men who ride,
Sea-horses and chase the mermaid,
And the legends of the unicorn,
And the fairy-tales that were laid,
To the old past the...unworn,...

Thou comes to me,
       My hymn of deep love.
             Satin lips to embrace,
      Wrapped in your wings.
             Captured by desire's fire!
      Enclosed by my warm promise.
             To forever be yours,
      My Hellenic Angel, my best.
             In love, so limitless.

Born of Aphrodite,  

in every life graceful. 

 

Born of Aphrodite, 

in every life loving. 

 

Bound to children of war, 

Sons and Daughters of Ares. 

 

In every life devoted, 

To loving and nurturing 

 

In every life hers, 

Those children of love. 

 

Born of the love, 

the faith, 

and the long days of waiting 

for the one they knew would come....

MARIA


      M is for Moral, governed by ethics.
     
      A is for Alluring, she draws people near.

      R is for Ravishing, Hellenic beauty so clear.

      I is for Integrity, your dedication to Truth is always here

      A is for Able, in each and every task you do.


     ~And, I as your Mother, am so proud of you~
  
         Merry Christmas, Maria!  Love, Mom

Ancient fortress, the wind carried to me your silent call,
Commune with your warring deities way deep in my soul.
Rooted among the scarred ruins strewn through the ages,
On thy hallowed ground I stand to pay my humble homage.
Parthenon, implore Athena to shield the shining city
Over whose skylines you kept watch for centuries.  
Like an eagle surveying this Hellenic kingdom
In majestic splendor -  now and forevermore -
Stay regally proud, mighty and strong....

I just am breathless here with you!
Swathed under secret, silken sheets.
Blessed as babes in a warm autumnal 
retreat. 
I exist from this insane yet tender 
passion!

Just to listen to the echo of your eternal
heart, 
With its own Hellenic beat.
Such is my fate, my dearest, and my most
incomparable treat.

You, filling my spirit with joy and starlit 
satisfaction.
You pulchritudinous man,you!
Driving Panagiota to such divine
distraction.
Agapi mou, my fatal attraction!...
