Libératemé
Dimitrios Sarris Mar 2017
When my untold sacrifices are never valued despite they've
been seen and my told sacrifices are never believed.
When i inspire and encourage someone
give love, share dreams, dare to follow.
When all sense of selflessness pick a top,
soul, heart, mind liberated.
Unafraid to go where life leads and somehow
i know i'll be strong, i won't let sorrow hurt me.
For once my emotions won't be hammered but
embraced where i am not alone.
When they catch me if i fall, my wings shall heal,
i am liberated.

Self-criticism
Dimitrios Sarris Mar 2017
Whatever we do in our lives gets an evaluation.
From who i wonder.
From the people around us, friends, family,
ourselves, by none...?
Even if nobody makes an evaluation of us, coincidences and the
development of things we do create implications.
Implications that reveal the true form of ourselves and the
evaluation will be done even if we try to hide.
I am what i am, honest, respectable, reliable. I won't pretend anyone, for no one and anything.
I'd rather those i love most hate me and be truly ok rather than love me
and pretend they are ok.

Stream
Dimitrios Sarris Mar 2017
I was driven by anger, desire, just aimed for what
i wanted not what i needed. That wasn't me, i couldn't
think and act by myself. Something dragged me down
to this flooding stream, no more.
Love for family, friends, the world, something to preserve.
A fight which gave me hope even if it takes time, lot of
time...

Yet might be
Dimitrios Sarris Feb 2017
I wish i hadn't heard nor witnessed such stories,
so painful in so many ways.
Few are mine and other by people so wounded
from betrayal  and lies yet their hope is not lost.
With sadness in their voice and fear in their eyes
they stand.
With gracious heart they believe it's another chapter
to a never ending story and so did i.
Surely a happy ending depends where you stop
telling a story and that might be something to give
hope but also might bring destruction.
Reality does not compromise with reckless dreams
nor to petty excuses, i know that now.
Feb 2017 · 198
Hope
Dimitrios Sarris Feb 2017
Care only for a single thing, those you love. Do anything and everything to save them. When there is no chance of winning keep
fighting, when all hope is lost find another way, when you fall
stand up again.
If you are searching for redemption find another way to fight. You
are nothing less than a human soul in search of light and if everything
around you goes dark, light a candle and shed the light to whatever
you can.
World is an evil vicious place and does not care how tough you are.
Make a stand.

untitled
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
Mountains as an ark
stars in the dark
a calm heart cries.
I can hear you slinkingly
i start the counting again
my fire smolders in the cold
an old mast to hold.

Make up our minds?
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
People will always astonish us
with their words
with their actions
with their hidden personalities
but sometimes we surprise ourselves too,
with the unpredictable outcome of
our choices
our priorities
our point of view.
People the most distraught
animals in the planet.

The reason
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
It had nothing to do with her but it was something to be seen.
I could see it in her eyes, she had no idea, what could it be just fear.
Perhaps one or two shadows of suspicion, not sure.
All i could hear her saying " I wanted to run and hide in a place
where i could see my light again"
I am holding your hand we are reaching home, somewhere safe.
War is spreading in their hearts they can't just get enough.
It would be a blessing to stop and rest but this darkness spreads,
it spreads like a fire under a strong false wind.

Night's long
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
Sinking in my thoughts
an every nights routine
staring at a white wall
making images and stories of my own,
but most start with "If i had".
Questioning and answering myself
Provoking mind and heart
for choices of my past.
Provoking soul and spirit
for choices soon may be done.
A glass of water for my mouth goes dry
looking from the window
a city sleeps.
No stars to shine in the dark
winter's sky.
Silence, loneliness only a wind's echo
can be heard.
I feel a tightening in my chest
a pinch like pain to my heart.
Sinking back to my thoughts
wondering what could i've done better
till the sun rises just to put
an end to this recursion.
Jan 2017 · 251
How could i...
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
I thought my journey through life would fill me
with a sense of accomplishment, hope.
Was i too hasty?
Am i mistaken?
Compromise that's what almost everyone insist
upon and i do not.
Are we not meant for something better?
Undestand each other?
Are we born just to argue, to fight?
So many voices each demanding something else.
It has always been hard but even harder today
to see all i believe in, all i worked for
inverted, discarded, forgotten.
I may not be perfect but i fought where others
scattered in pieces, i remained true...

No roots vol.4
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
Is it dangerous i wonder
is it dangerous to dream?
I get it now a dream is not only hope
but also a warning and i realise that it takes time.
Time to walk a road covered in darkness, surely never
wished to go and i doupt that all walked to the very end.
I'll sail nonetheless.
I do not fear when my soul spreads wings desperate to fill
the void as i hear your voice " i am always with you.."

Fearsome
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
A good life is best described using simple words.
Honor, love, wisdom.
The virtues we cultivate were best told upon us
became a code. A code we live up to.
Some say we stray from the path of virtue and bad things
lurk in the dark like beasts to teach us a lesson.
Simply to keep evil at bay, become masters of our
fears.
Jan 2017 · 238
Now i know
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
Great evil is born by corrupting
something truly good.
I'll fight the wolf with heart,
i'll beat the darkness with light.
Farewell my love.

Truly free
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
Mind and heart force us to believe in
something that might not exist,
creating illusions that separate us
from hope, maybe true happiness.
Our spirit though, our instincts
know otherwise.
Thoughts an memories merging
giving an opportunity to face the truth.
We can not simply put faith in lies even
if we wanted to believe in them.
A perfect place in our minds out of reach
one impervious wall that surrounds us.
It's time to find answers in ourselves
stop being blind and live.
Dec 2016 · 223
Lonely world
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2016
Waiting between worlds.
One journey ends another begins,
an endless cycle of peace and war.
Serenity against chaos
angels fighting demons
light and darkness bound together,
both blessed or cursed to never end?
Every soul in search for that point
in between.
The point that everything is clear
and balance starts to set the world in motion.
Honesty, loyalty, courage, love.
All giving their essence creating something.
Something better than before.

Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2016
Happiness, what's the meaning behind the word?
What could it be? My imagination wriggles.
My lips on hers?
My hands at her hair?
Her beautiful curves lying on my hug?
I think it's her eyes, her voice.
When i found happiness i knew it was real,
i could feel that i did not need a troubled mind.
I could feel the gap in my heart filled
not covered by the zest of a temporary comfort.
I knew where my roots grew
where waters shined silver
under the light of her star.
Dec 2016 · 205
Hollow
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2016
There is no harder word than that of ''goodbye''.
From the goodbye you say when you stay alone and
fight a game for two, up to the the one you are
forced to say everyday.
It's not the word that hurts the most but the things
you missed, the things you did not tell or live.
The worst thing about saying goodbye is to miss
those you fought and loved more than anyone.
Dec 2016 · 156
Trust
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2016
Trust is a powerful thing, you have no idea what it may bring.
It can sting your heart and tear your soul apart, or it can warm
your spirit and give you hope. Honesty, clarity, directness.
A yes is very clear and don't mind the no's. Things in between confuse and cause us pain. Life's simple, you make choices and you don't look back.
Nov 2016 · 209
Gratitude
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2016
There is one of those rare breeds of people, who are undeniably self sacrificing and generous, it's difficult to thank them enough for all they have done. I’m not sure how someone can ever repay them but i’ll start by saying thank you.
Just wanted to thank some people, old and new friends that stood by me
even when storms picked atop.

Flashbacks
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2016
I was always the man for someone to rest upon
but now i am the one who needs help.
Steady voice and a grip to pull me of the ground
for ever since i lost her i am half of what i came with.
I carry a burden and not my heart,
i need a rescue to remember myself.
I've been traveling so long reaching no distant ground.
If this is a new beginning why do i feel so empty,
why am i not breathing?
Running in circles trying to fight this feeling,
knowing other people need me i can't give in.
I walked and draw my line, season's storm seems
unknown, i don't mind the flames just walking
through the smoke to the voice that calls my name.
Nov 2016 · 160
Silent
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2016
When all is left is you and me
we were invincible in a red sea.
Now we are apart
how could i fly with no wings,
how could i live with no dreams,
when there's no place to call our own.
I need a big reduction in amount of tears,
i feel that i should be heard loud out clear.
You never really died in my heart...
Nov 2016 · 644
A memory
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2016
Now i need to find some sense  to speak.
I found the words, i made none of them by myself and this is
unfair for you. I wanted to find something only for you,
a space where none other would fit in.
You weren't like everybody else and it feels like betraying
that i saw you crying.
Why tell them?
They would be happy to know you were like them, not different,
but i won't let them remember you the way it fits them.
I know that they don't feel pain every time a memory comes at top
and it kills them that they didn't know you as i did.
They weren't what i was for you and they will never be
what you were for me.
They better not remember you at all.
Nov 2016 · 531
Life
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2016
Our life moves in circles,
always in the same blood vein,
every ending, every goal it's a new beginning.
Like a cloud i change, in time colour and shape
together entangle and i suspire in lifes thread...

Each one of us alone marches on, in love, in glory,
in death.
I know, i've tried...
It does not help, let me come with you...
Nov 2016 · 204
Loss
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2016
You can't put it into words, the moment when you look into the
eyes of the one who is supposed to reassure you, make you feel
safe. It only takes an instant, fear will lose before you have a
chance to make sense of it and darkness becomes a part of who
you are...
Nov 2016 · 211
Silver
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2016
A pale moon and two eyes in tears, a relaxing tone
reminding you.
The time has come, the time is right to say it out loud
i love you keeping my heart.
Goodnight moon even better goodbye. I am tired of the tricks
you used against me. I'd rather sleep at night without your light.
Like a lone wolf searching for a home instead of wandering
in your cunning shadows.
Never look back again to your silver rivers.
Goodbye...
Nov 2016 · 259
Still breathing
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2016
Emotionals ups and downs
all spin and move in staggeringly transitions,
i'm still breathing.
Every now and then i miss her so much and
i don't know how the day breaks on me.
Every now and then i'm fine,
i'm still breathing.
Someone told me you won't get lost
if you follow the compass in your heart.
I take the wheel, fly up to a silver moon
and land upon the ashes of empty hollow trees.
Products of false imaginations,
shadows of nothing.
I'm still breathing.
Angels and demons fight,
standing in between and
i'm still breathing.

Caring
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2016
There are people that give meaning
and value in this world, purpose, mirth
and when they are gone so does joy.
A warm hug emptied...
We love them and call them family
even if they are not our blood.
We forgive them in the midst of the darkest storm,
and embrace together the grey cold mist.
Love and caring is the least we can utter and
show it to them every single time.
An emptied hug filled.
Oct 2016 · 932
Ghost light
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2016
I'd rather shoot and miss in a city of tears
where stars grow cold beating like my
heart.
A dark undercurrent of woe which seems
to draw but it will not be so.
The heat of a thousand suns won't reignite my
heart, only one will do so.
Only one shall embrace my soul.
All the stars will beat again in warmth,
all the stars will beat blessed like this one sun.

Returning from work
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2016
I'd like to travel around the world with a ship.
My ideal morning, lot of light
a beautiful song and the first sip of coffee.
A word that would summarize the meaning of
life "the people".
Things that i miss a lot such the sea, the city's small port,
the whiff of that city.
I am afraid to forget those especially her.

Wisely
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2016
Dreams we've made, things we did to crack
the daily routine and melancholy, slowly fade away.
I believed that things would turn out differently but
all that remains are illusions...
My mind surrounded by iron bars slowly transforming into
a golden cage of a weird fantasy.
It feels safe but I sence the danger of living trapped.
Shadows and illusions whispering, consuming.
But if there is darkness there is light too.
I choose light.
We are the choices and the priorities we make
and character forms out of how we deal with tragedy.
Pick a side…
Oct 2016 · 258
Offer or struggle
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2016
Stranger's kindness, an urban myth. Most people don't notice
you even exist. You might be living the greatest drama of your life and they will pretend they didn't see.
No time for genteel kindness. They are not in the mood or they've been hurt so much and won't give something without exchange.
But like urban myths so does genteel kindness hide within a significant truth.
It's a kind under extinction but at the same time the easiest to produce.
How many can be within us?
Whose hopes and dreams do we incompass?
Could we see the eyes of our own, the minds in our mind,
understand how much we share?
Force, answers with force
war breeds war
and death brings death.
To break this vicious circle one must do more,
has to make another step, remember that even in dark times we can not relinquish the things that make us human.
Oct 2016 · 233
One wing
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2016
Have the heart of a lion
the courage of a wolf
the spirit of an angel.
What she advised me,
what i keep well guarded.

We are all angels with one wing
and we can fly only if we meet
the one with the suitable wing.
Hold together and accept each
other's heart.

Believe it or not i fell in love with you
the moment we first kissed.
From that moment on i can't sleep
at nights and when i manage to
i see you in my dreams.
Oct 2016 · 227
Last moments
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2016
I sat next to her, strength and passion which used to keep me with her still were there. My legs trembling and i felt plunging into the abyss,
vertigo...
We knew it had to end but we were there embraced, our souls were embraced.
I tousled gently her face and hair. It was like standing on earth but also flying at low height. I could see how beautiful earth was from up sky high.
Earth, people, trees, mountains, homes, my most beloved. Nostalgia for the moment i first met her. The newfound feelings borned inside me and the harmony flooding me when i look at her face.
Goodbye...
Sep 2016 · 245
Lingering on
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
One more day passes and i think of you.
A day at work and my mind forgets awhile.
A day at home and music moves me through
the motions, but a second it's all it takes
hear your voice and soften my inside.
A second to remember you telling me that you sing only
for me.
I am not afraid to accept the state of things
what appear to be but i dare see what all could be.
Maybe i am fool to believe in such a thought,
but i do...

No roots vol.2
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
I've been here not long ago
every way lead me there after all.
Oh heaven you won't let me go
trapped in this illusion
manifesting this delusion.
I keep on climbing even if it hurts.
Why do anything to hear what you want
even if it's wrong.
It would be a lie to let myself forgiving.
Slowly growing my lost roots
beneath some broken wings
mending my wounds.
I see it you see it
we both feel it.
Don't give in pain
let it rain.

No roots
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
Cool wind filling my chest
eyes rest in this beautiful sunset
ears surrounded by waves crushing at shore.
All i wanted was to sail away into the blue,
broken compass waters unknown.
I remembered the silence under the trees
the scent of the deep green forest
hidden streams reflecting silver.
All i wanted was to stay a little longer.
A familiar rhythm, a song she sang for me
soft notes all over my home
and as i lay numb
my heart beats like the raining clouds.
All i wanted was to be with her.
My roots are broken and wind
carries my soul
feeling cold under the stars.

A small breath vol.2
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
Here i am again, at the same point.
Quit everything, faith to mankind
cause most are weak in spirit, they lie,
destroy and disappoint.
But when i reach the edge of my limits,
i remember that they also give, sing and
dance and they do not give up.
So glad do be one of them...

Timeless
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
Time passes, matures
hurts and heals.
Time brings memories
and the orchestra
continues to play.

Time passes and asks
nobody.
Time repeats, teaches,
adapts and overcomes.

Times that binds us,
drives us, guide us.

Time brings happiness,
sadness, joy and pain.
All a matter of choice.
Sep 2016 · 232
Loneliness
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
Only we can protect ourselves from persistences and understand if the
the road we walk comes with a high price.
We believe that we can absolve, become saviors, even avenge if it's
needed. We make war to our enemies and they to us with or without
the privilege of choosing. We dream of doing something good and leave our mark to this world for our loved ones.
Even if we sacrifice ourselves in battles which won't be archived everything starts and ends with ourselves. Lonely as it is do not fall,
for loneliness is one of the worse...
You know that you are alone when there is none
you can call yours.
You know that you are alone when there is none feeling your absence.
You know that you are alone...
Sep 2016 · 304
Destination
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
This is how i forget
this is how i prevent
my deepest feelings i do not regret.
Love and thoughts
my emotions in between.
Heart and mind tangle
deep within.
Crushing waves no port in sight
a light visible afar.
Wave after wave silence comes and goes
my pain comes at ease.
Wave after wave silence comes and goes
my pain thrives for what i could reach.

Cost
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
I've learned more from pain than joy.
My mind and heart in battle to a void of
grim thoughts.
If things were meant to be like this and just let go
or if i really want something i should
fight for it.
Both at a different point of view
right and wrong at the same time.
I can not know how deep i am wounded
nore if i'll ever heal for my pain is the
outcome of pure emotions.
Love, compassion, selflessness.
There are times this pain becomes
unbearable but i choose to do what
is right and just even if it comes with a price.

I see vol. 2
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
The world is not fair but moral standarts apply to all. The ruler
isn't always a superior person and the ruled isn't always inferior.
The world doesn't belong to the powerful but to those of pure
heart. All that we do is not for today but for tomorrow.
Hard times to live for sure in this era, so much darkness.
There are moments that i doubt some people are capable of
redemption, yet each time i attepmt to surrender in that thought i see it.
The glimmer of goodness that allows me to believe, that the people
i care will have things i never had the privilege to bask fully.
A warm home, someone to show you that they love you
every single day and someone to fight for you no matter what...
In other words a family.
Sep 2016 · 208
I see
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
So much for the blame and criticism
but when it comes for a solution all
go silent like the middle of the night.
All go silent when the rain stops but
none cares to mend or heal, to cure
or help only vengeance and excuses.

A long waltz
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
I am lost alone, i've stood in the very edge,
i've looked into the abyss and if i'd taken
one more step i would have fallen.
No matter how far i go she is
always there, like a devious dance between
me and her, we won't go down.
Nothing else to settle all clear like a beautiful
light, the light of her eyes.
Green eyes that always looked my own
speaking of something that is lost
like dream i can not remember.
Sep 2016 · 206
Surrender
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
I will find my way out of the rubble
no struggle.
My thoughts are settled
i am coming.
You're staying or hiding
but makes no difference.
Can you handle my voice,
can you handle my look?
This is my complete surrender
Love
Frustration
Melancholy
Loneliness

Milestone
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
When you have the knowledge and power to change
something to prevent a stressful situation and you do not,
anything that comes out of it happens cause of you.
But then again even if you act, change, save, prevent,
it comes up with high cost.
My heart still questions the right choice...

Faith a way to Nobility
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
Hopes, prayers and dreams. We carry so many aspirations
on our backs. How can we meet all those expectations
when we struggle with our own worries and doubts.
Nevertheless we must move forward, step by single step, in order
to leave something behind, for those we care and love.
Once somebody said to me. No matter how bad it all may seem you will change, things will change and you will stand enduring.
Can I?  You can!
Will I?  You will!
Now i exist to assist, to guide, to stop the fist and expel the fight.
Yet my nature i hide, as to not be used.
I have good intent but don't test my strain
for i avenge deep in soul.

I should move away start
something new.
But i just wish...

been closer to you
i just wish to end my loneliness
sail to the endless sea
forget through the deep brown forest
and rest under your silverlight beauty.

Motive
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
Most of us do not have the strength to fight back
even for something or someone with infinite value.
So some of us have to make it possible for someone
we care and love, impossible to stop the fight,
to gain motive wave after wave.
We have to keep them from giving up.
