Wind cloack
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
It's getting cold
it's pouring with rain
your own light
inside your heart.
For every breath
feeling lungs with cold black wind
a wolf stares sniffs and howls.
In every heartbeat
a soul's vast
a lion's roar
  its dark brown eyes
the color of a cloak.
It's getting warmer
south wind whiff's
it's your own breath
inside my chest.

Living our lives bound by what we see
as right and true. That's what we call reality.
Well right and true are vague terms and our
reality could turn out to be an illusion.
After all we live by our own assumptions.

Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
It saddens my heart to
see the pain and suffering
people inflict on each other.
It saddens me beacause
they don't want to stop.
It saddens me that people
crave the opposite of honesty.
It saddens my soul that poeple
critisize and feel happy in the
suffering of each other.
It saddens me that they would do
anything for attention in the
frame of social media.
It saddens me that they do the
opposite from what they must
and all they feel is anger
just blaming anything but
themeselves.
It saddens my heart that they do
not recognize the distortion within
and they won't ever truly awaken.
It saddens me bacause it feels like
i'll be fighting these people till the
end of my days.
It saddens...sigh
It saddens me because these words
would mean nothing to them.

The worse thing from
been deceived
is getting used to it.
Their shadows and wiffs
are all the same.
Their minds and thoughts
are all insane.
Love and repsect far
from their gain.
My heart and soul
in great pain.
Friends and loved ones
in beautiful frame.
My spirit well

Identity
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
There is nothing wrong with imitating who you respect
but don't go too far in that in order not to be a copy of him/her.
I realised that knowing the true identity isn't by achieving
everything or becoming perfect, becoming someone but
it's knowing what you can or can't do.
It's by being able to forgive yourself.
It's by knowing who you call family.
It's by loving someone truly, utterly
without narcissistic delusions.
Sorry for the monotone writings lately without poetic colour.
Just struggling missing my greatest love,
struggling with the underhand behaviour of people
i thought i knew.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
If you don't share someone's pain
you can never understand them.
But just because you understand them
doesn't mean you can come to an
agreement, for out of love sacrifice is born,
hate is born and we are able to know pain.
Build destroy repeat an endless cicle.
Is that what we want?
Is that what we are?

Hard to remember
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
Why should we bound down to the past.
Deprived of any right, of any faith to
something new.
Caged in memories, treated like beasts
with no future ahead of us we have to
forge our own even if the price is high.
Never looked back
never wanted to
never had to
until now.

Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
So many times i've heard that moving on doesn't mean
you forget about things but you accept what's happened
and continue living. From one side of the coin it feels
normal and healthy to do so but from the other side it
feels like containment to a secret agreement with ourselves
that allow us only to believe that we won't regret the choices
we made. Nontheless i gain some relief remembering
what my greatest love once told me.
"If you can think of beautiful goal in your life, a happy
ending, then live beautifully until that end."
I guess as long as i have life in me i will fight with all my
might to that end and if i fail at least i'll say i tried.

I see vol.4
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
Greatest lessons in life are learned through pain.
Hurt in order to know
fall in order to grow
lose in order to gain
but love and caring should not be forced out of
hectic situations.
Some things such as love and morals lose their
meaning if people support those ideals because
of a traumatic outcome.
Love, caring, morals should be considered standard
not a worthless compulsion that enslaves us.
People should cultivate upon those old yet newly
known to some ethics.
Disheartening that most lose sight of what's most
important and change becomes impossible in this fog
of ignorance.

Abhorrence
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
Honor, loyalty there is no point speaking to a liar
for such things, he simply can not understand.
The world can not be saved by people who are acting
like they have some secret nobility, just selling out narcissism.
Such illusion could only be created by ghosts throughout time.
Ghosts that led many to ruin and all for the sake of a tail
full of gain and wealth that will be written and forgotten
on a library's shelf. It will be never a tail of glory and honor
which they are so eager to preach, just a well set delusion
with a huge lack of ideals.
They would consider that hurting people with their lies would
be better from not doing it at all. What a joke...
There is nothing but unspeakable acts, soulless crimes
that they would call victory and all paid by the pain of human beings.

Strange of topic
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
I had this strange but comforting conversation with a friend.
Well strange of topic but comforting, knowing that there are
still people who give a **** and do not afraid the reality of
this world.
We concluded that there are not many moments just one,
one devastating moment with no second chances that you
won't recover.
One moment we must avoid, prevent and protect those
we love most. We fashion the course of our lives no one else, us...

I don't know what makes us love so much,
i don't know what makes us feel what we feel.
Whatever it is, it hurts so much that
i'd wish to never feel love again
i'd wish to keep only the happy moments
so that i wouldn't feel sad again, shed a tear or two.
Then again there is something that makes me want to
relive the good and the bad in equal measure
and that is you...

Frailty
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
Dishearted and lonely trying to maintain
this frail existence. Could it be the end?
What is a man but the sum of his memories.
What are we but the stories we live, the tails
we tell ourselves. Anger and grief clouded my mind and would have consumed me, if it was not for the wisdom of a friend i could call a second father. He taught me to look past my instincts and even he might not fully answered my speculations he guided me well to learn from myself. I was free to choose and all that is good in me rekindled again. Thank you Mr. Socrates i wish the best.

Heritage
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
Bound to an unknown world consumed by fear
a grey picture with unvaried dreams
a single sun struggling but hoping to burn all that away.
My love long gone like a memory shattered
in this bewildered blank
where i prefer the voiceness of the night
and colours do not pretend in misguided words
only silverlight
where moon and stars stand together.
All seem crystallized.
Deep and vast the world surrounds me
with malice and cruelty the truth unravels
yet my heart knows no fear.
I know
I see
I feel
I hold the kindness my beloved kept for me.

Burden in my chest
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
I wish you knew how much i've missed you
in so little time, yet my heart withstands
so much pain.

Fragile yet strong my heart became
alone but sure in mind
confused but determined in spirit.

Caged but free at the same time.

Explain
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
There are times we entrust our happiness
in the hands of others, an act of love and
selflessness. Is it safe?
A choice out of trust but sometimes out of
loneliness and all it takes is a moment of
misunderstanding, a lack of explanation.
Nothing is as it seems to be for sure but then
again we believe that it would be better not
to explain, that things would be better this way.
Does it worth the pain?
Does it worth of letting go?
I am afraid for i start to forget her face, her voice.
Feelings i can not manage, i can not control
and all i want is to get lost into the sea of her green
eyes, lie upon her soft skin, rest into her warm hug
and kiss those red rose lips.

Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
Love truly, utterly, unconditionally...
Let it end if that's the best for her, let her go
as far she can withstand.
Let her fly into stormy winds and sail into restless seas.
If she loves you truly she will return and meet at
the well known port.

This feeling
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
This emotion, that feeling. How should i put it?
This "reality" looks like a parody of an old novel.
It's like another image with a fake smile seeking for attention,
it simply lacks of character. Conversation, physical contact
are more than any image could ever be.
Senses stimulate, thinking adjusts.
The sound or tone of a voice, the spark in a persons eyes are like
doorways of heart and soul. I tried to understand why people
use a fake image as shield and test each other behind a screen.
It feels like they are afraid. It feels like a fear coming from not knowing and avert their eyes from what they truly are.
But how can they survive without embracing their memories, their stories, everything they are connected to?

At an end
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
I reached the end of the road
the air is still and dry like a spring's afternoon.
The road led me to the forgotten edges of my mind.
Seasons pass draws me deeper to my bliss where
i have found the proof that i must burn away the past
and scatter the ashes.

The tourist, a person who does vacations in other people's lives,
take some photos puts them in an album and moves on.
All he/she is interested in is stories, in other words a selfish  egocentric person treating people like whisky snacks.
Inspired by recent events of a friend. She is one of the most loving and kind people someone could ever meet and was treated selfishly and unfairly.

Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
People of beautiful places, people, events, but there are times dreams alone hold no value.
Dreams first look like a bright light of hope but they can easily turn
into a long night of monastic thoughts.
Lost in such darkness we surrender our minds and forget who we are. There are some who have woken up and remind us that we
have a choice.
Stand not kneel.
Act not dream.
Live not just exist.
We've might made mistakes to people we love, all because of dreams surrounded by lies. Such lies we let so easily to decry us for our hearts were hungry. I am glad i managed to shatter these illusions long ago and said no to a reality i never chose.
I am glad that i've stopped feeding the demons within and i dared
to ask fate look the other side.

Forgot
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
How am i standing and not crumbling?
How am i breathing and not choking?
For every second thought
marching for the sun's light
for every second look
hunting for the moon's beauty
i almost forgot your face
so horrified i felt
I need a moment to straighten
my senses.
I have to let go
no apologies will be made
have to keep walking
but never forget.
Treasured moments so true
that i have nothing else to say.

Mere?
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
Could anyone really advise us which path should
we choose in life? What kind of wisdom dictates us
to make the right choice?
What is right and what is wrong?
In this mixed up world choosing right from wrong is
not easy. We can't just go by someone else's rules.
If we let ourselves be controlled like this we just
become a mere shadow following someone's moves
that can't make decisions of its own.
We only hope to live by our rules as everything happens
for a reason and our destiny slowly takes form.
Try to remember that the stronger the light the darker the
shadow.

I wonder if humans are made to live happy,
for happiness lasts so little. Why are we so
incapable of preserving the wonders that arise of it.
I thought that the only thing i could do was to accept
the outcome of it with composure but it wasn't enough.
I can understand now happiness is not a grant of permission
through life but also a warning. To value more life
and contribute to great but also to small acts of courage
and kindness.

Miss you
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
Your hug, your kiss, your breath
my feelings in resurgence.
At dusk, at daybreak, at dawn together.
Never separated from your soft skin and life flows
with pain at ease, in your caress, your gentle touch.
Your lips touch my neck again as you lie down next
to me and perch. I am lost...
Lost in your green eyes, enjoying your hand fondling
my beard. It's like a dream but i'm awake, my thoughts
frozen as i await your next kiss
and my heart ignites as your body
covers mine.
Feeling helpless in the memories of a woman i will always love
and the circumstances do not allow us to be together.
Endless affection...

Dreaming
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
We are born free some don't believe it
or even try to take it away.
Crystal waters
green forests
deep blue seas
a beautiful queen
sparkling eyes
red rose lips
skin soft like snow
love beyond measure.
Lay eyes on that and you'll know what freedom is.
That's worth giving a **** and i would risk
everything even for a glimpse of real freedom.

Walls cannot keep you safe now
your lies couldn't hide your face
your army trembles before me

you'll be gone before sun goes down.
If i fall i'll never die, for my love is strong,

survived this demimonde.
This place full of shadows rarely seen
but deeply felt.
I am free and with my two feet taken
position on your fallen throne.

Your answer

You asked me once

Reality
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
A world made of glass. Each one of us lives hidden in his own
little world made of glass. The problem with glass is that no matter how
wary we are it breaks easily.
We're like souls made of glass which we entrust in the hands of others.
Will they be watchful?
Giving a battle in this world with one little precious and fragile piece of glass which breaks by the time leaves us wounds. Glass does not hang back and the old cracks still exist.
It will only acquire its primary form if it's heated in the proper temperature.
I wonder, is there anyone in this world who could do that?

Realisation
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
Is it too late? Has it been too long that i can not
separate right from wrong anymore?
So tired i feel if i make another step my soul will scatter
into pieces. All i can do now is to face the consequences
of my choices and as a knight you once called me i must
fulfill my duty to the bitter end. But all i care now is to
see you smile, hear you laugh again and i would
sacrifice everything to see it done on the altar of your
love. I learned so much from you, of true love and pain,
of the past and the future. Before you i was just a blind
fool chasing butterflies.
You are my living proof that there is still hope in mankind
and i believe that is your greatest virtue.
Thank you, thank you for everything.

Elegant eyes
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
Once i thought that we are free to choose what we want
to pursue our ideals no matter the cost.
But world cultivates otherwise and i am filled with sadness
no pride.
So here i am in a blank page, i do not remember making
that decision.
If only i possessed the humility and say to myself
"get up you've seen nothing yet, you haven't done your part yet"
The fight between a man and his heart so driven by desire and
all that stands noble is a hard thing for sure.
If i interracted and guided my insticts it was because
i haven't felt the apogee of pain.
If i was relactant to contribute in my heart's affairs
it was because i was so naive, i would have crushed my heart
in the mud and no one knows how many souls with it.
Life is no fairytail and there are not always happy endings
but who am i to decide and destroy everything good that's left
in my heart.
Much wisdom cause much grief but experience could
bring happiness.
When i turn around and look the cause i've walked there is no person
that i love i regret having in my life.
My fate is my own, my choice is my own.
I am proud now, in a way...

Virtue
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
Our command of feelings in this world is magnificent.
The ability to transform our darkness, our pain into
rear newfound beauty.
Pain is easy to express but to use our passion to express
the pain or joy of our little world is something which
surely exceeds the grey around.
We've seen a lot, stood between black and white and
maybe we are not able to tell if what we feel is
pleasure or pain.
Love, hate.
Bliss, abyss.
Heroes rise and legends are born to die...

tongues, reveal that their truth is only but a lie.

Mischief lurking
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
A simple excuse is what most need and they think
that justice is a synonym for revenge. They claim
that all they do is natural and not an act of distress.
So how can i quite this part of me that at any tipping
point someone will linch and act uncontrollably
achieving only to hurt those he or she loves.
I fear that most can not bear to lose any more and they
would give into a comfort zone, into zestless and
voiceless acts only leading to their ruin.
The world is a harsh place and there are those who
would see others suffer for their own gain, even
flay those who would try to help them.
Difficult to be stronger than our excuses but what is
worse from losing ourselves.

Keeping strong
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
If you knew how much i've missed you.
Your absence is like rain and with a silent
fall a sea is formed, endlessly sinking inside.
In darkness i shall be light, in times of solitude
your memory shall keep me warm,
in thrives of despair i shall home my craft
write and express, in confusion i shall have
no illusion, in the midst of the drakest hour
i shall have no fear.
I shall define art and it shall define me.

Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
I should not do that, no!
If i begin to regret, i'll dull my future decisions
and let others make the choices for me.
What would be left for me then but to die.
Nobody can foretell the outcome out of regret.
Each decision i make holds meaning only by
affecting my next decision.
We may be different, with different mind soul and heart
but when the wold is darkest we must try for the same
cause, for we are stronger together, stronger as two spirits
caring for each other.

If much wisdom is much grief then
he who increases his knowledge
increases and his sorrow.
Can i feel it?
Devil curse me i do.
I thought i was beyond this but i am not.
I waited to long and sacrificed to much.
People might not change now.
It would take another thousand years
maybe more to realise that fear
inspires control, over them, over their hearts,
over their way of thinking.
I had hope but now, disappointment for
most do not even try and all they do is making
excuses, hiding behind this ridiculous term
of insecurity. My point of view, they are just
afraid being honest to themselves.
Even i am not crazy enough to believe that
distortion of reality.

Rust
Dimitrios Sarris Apr 2017
I remained to known land well discovered like
my heart's redemption and i saw a thousand
crystal towers.
I went over the sea reached unknown lands and
i saw a thousand emerald cities, but all i was left
was a broken armor.
Barely walk
barely breath
what's left in this world of yours?
Shining like a crystal flare.
I followed the stars where the moonlight led,
to a path where i was blinded by your love
and guided from your voice.
No matter what i did i could not reach this
new land of yours for we run at two different speads.
Even when you tried to hold me i fell for the burden
of my nightmares haunted my mind.
I lost reason and this thought became my torment.
There's no armor left only a rusty blade in my hand
with which i nailed my heart.

If life itself turns everything you gained into something

Mourn for what you are about to lose or fight and make it
yours again, make it clear.
Then again there are those who think that choice is an
illusion in this muddy world for life makes us face difficult
situations with insurmountable variables.
Well i believe that choice is not something to be underestimated
and the real request here is why we give up so easily when we
come in touch with the weird and problematic nature of
knowledge.

The letter
Dimitrios Sarris Apr 2017
I am losing you day by day but i don't regret choosing you
because i love you and that stands for me well.
Everyone i knew induced me to stop loving you, but how
could i forget you?
My mind forms pictures holding you in my arms
between shuffled sheets. I learned to love only you,
love those red lips like the colour of your favorite sour cherry.
Life might take a weird turn and cause us pain but at least
we've tried.
I tried for your own good and what i am doing is not because
i forget but because i can not stand the sight of your green
eyes crying. Our age difference would eventually become
an obstacle and i would not dare be that selfish, not to you.
I am doing this for my heart loves you and would not stand
the sound of this choir playing persistently.
I am doing this for you are the best and most sincere thing
that ever happened to me.

Move on knowing that

prey to dark thoughts of retribution,
that way madness lies.
That's how all went down?
You thought you found true peace.
How could that be when you still
carry all those burdens from the past?
Mystery, silence, doubt. That was your
mix, not your world. You always equated
facts with excuses, not feelings for it was
something getting in your way and never
understood that a fact is a not a way of
seeing things but what you see.
Why not retire from your standarts, just get out
of your head even for a little bit?

Gloomy thoughts scattered inside my head
storm clouds passing though my eyes,

Your warm hug or the whistling of a lonely cold wind?
I am weary of this grey canvas not because I am tired
but because our efforts seem to move in one direction only.
Towards chaos and uncertainty.  
Yet again I do not lose hope for i am happy to give everything for love and my story is one of many thousands and the world will not suffer if it ends too soon.

Can't hold, can't sustain, can't maintain

Stop thinking the notion of going back.

like a painting without color and a single black tone
like a ship without  tack and an attitude latent and contradictory
remaining humble but ready to conquer  a world
would we dare preach a way so that truth might come along
and as someone said so many years before
“too much haste is too little speed”.
There is nothing more I can do but fill pages with ink
as everything old and good that remains slowly dies
at the needs of a  blind modern society i shall keep
moving though motions like an image from an old dream.

My compromise
Dimitrios Sarris Apr 2017
Extinguish what is false around me was my aim.
I understood that fear had more devoted followers than love,
but overcoming obstacles and hardships would mean nothing
with not an equal measure of love. That's what separates us from fallacy that's what spreads hope, i think so...
Even if i face the truth of some cold words of broken souls,
i refuse to stand at inaction. I believe that things can still change.
I may struggle in vain and might not succeed but i will not stop.
I made a promise to myself and those i love, the people i call family.

Life has moments worth living and

They think power is everything and all they ask is...
Why not? Why you still deny it?
Because i choose, free will.
Life is not about control it's about choice.
We are meant to help, to love, to guide, nothing more...
Because some of us know so more than you being human.
I felt the things you felt and there's so much more you haven't.
You think you are free but you are not.
I believe in mankind but i hate what it may become, like you...
You may call yourselves gods, but all you are it's hollow bodies.
No soul, no consciousness, no beliefs...
Because you live your entire lives without the slightest notion
of meaning in this world.
What you call normality i call fallacy.
What you call stability i call a constract of your own fantasy.
Because there are some who see through that,
they see the truth...

Discomfort
Dimitrios Sarris Mar 2017
It's hard to remember how everything was,
before people changed, before they turned into
a selfish and distant being.
Even those of us who refuse to turn into that
state of obscurity are considered weird, but the truth
is that we are exhausted and disappointed.
Those people who dare to call themselves humans
drain our positivity like parasites and take
advantage of our honesty.
I was lucky to know a true freedom for a while, a place
