When the night comes
I feel a fog coming to me unguarded
I enter into labyrinth of time
time not passing, eternal…
I am on mountains
looking into the distance
where live the wolves that can never be seen
in the gorges of God
far away.
Twilight
In the foggy blanket
I was silent and lost.
A thick mist comes down
the bud would like to pierce the layer of snow
sprout and bloom like a divine fire.
Autumns, winters and springs pass away
while in the dawn light I am absorbed
watching your image reappearing in the twilight blue.
Greek sea
Slumbering sweetly on the shores of the Aegean
And we are still looking for another sea
That will take us far away from this city
To stop wandering in this sea
I paid hard for my mistakes
I don’t deserve to be here, lonely heart
Pillars of Hercules we pass through
crossing the ways of Greeks in the Mediterranean
our dreams shine in the abyss
Oh, they sinks into the darkness…
Sometimes I try to cross this Greek sea
From the bottom an echo rises
Still the foam becomes lethal
In this longing of sea.
