Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
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.

A riddle i came by
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2018
To all things i appertain
and yet some shunned and disdained.
****** and ogle me till you are
insane but no blow can harm me cause me pain.
Children delight in me, elders take fright,
fair maids rejoice and spin.
Cry and i weep, yawn and i sleep,
smile and i shall grin.
What am I?

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...

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...

A glimpse of future
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2016
My greatest dream is to find someone which i and she will
love each other for a lifetime, forever..

My greatest fear is to lose those i love, not being with them,
protect them if it's needed. Bad things happen to good people
and not by choice it's not your fault, i was said once.
But a part of me inside screams at me "you were not there..."

It's easier to live trapped rather than live free, all formed in
a narcissism illusion.
325 · Oct 2018
God?
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2018
Why there is no god when innocents die and
why there is just to show the implied forgiveness?
Where is he when decisions must be made and
why he exists to judge those who dare make them
eventually instead of him?
Love he may inspire but also fear, such fear that
faith lost its meaning. Is there any god after all?
Is it simply a notion of modern mythology?
I wonder what people would think in thousands
of years maybe less, i wonder if they would talk
about us as we talk about the pagans of the old.
Who am i to judge some may say.
I am a free man released from narcissism and
illusions.
I am free to choose the feelings of the human heart.
I am free to defy a tail that was written like all others
and if i am to blame then free will would be such
a contradiction.

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...

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.

Empty thoughts
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2018
I remembered when i put up a wall
like it would stop anything.
I remembered the smell of your hair
the touch of your skin
your beautiful voice.
I remembered you.
Those days are gone and a broken road
is all that is left.
I could be anywhere but here.
I feel powerless, no motive
just a false hope.
I heared the phone ringing,
it's you asking if i am ok,
like kindred spirits feeling
each others thoughts.
I am fine, i answered.
I am fine...

Fallen vol.2
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2018
The last thing an angel feels is falling.
What about a human?
What could the feeling be like? Fall?
I look around and see so few alive,
the rest fallen into their shadows,
sinking in lies.
Not clipped wings but
the spark of their eyes long gone,
just a hollow look a blackness spreading
into this forsaken world.
The few become even less yet they bright
like a beacon of whatever remains true.
Skies falling, war is crying out.
The few suffer and the fallen hide behind
a pile of lies, just a bunch of excuses.
I awake from my frozen sleep and model through,
this war becomes my muse.
All will burn in light, i am here where are they?
306 · Sep 2016
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.
304 · Sep 2016
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.

My heart's Lament
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2018
Feels wrong,
to be driven out by a lie that dooms hearts and minds.
Does one run away when someone tells lies about him?
No, he fights even if the odds are against him.
It's not about a battle that will be won or lost,
it is about something greater.
A battle for the soul and love that live within us,
perhaps it would be right and proper to be lost
in hell's fire otherwise.
There would be no reason at all to fight only against some
mad men's fantasies.
It's not the dying that frightens me, it's not having stood up
and fight for truth for those i love.

Titaness vol.2
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2019
Cosmos was filled with beauty
darkness welcomed their light with weal
and so Uranides, Oceanides, Goddesses of old
took a place in the unending void
and sat to thrones made of starlight
giving place to children of their own.
Asteria daughter of Coeus and Phoebe. Goddess of
shooting stars and as one of them fell to the ocean
creating the island of Delos.
Leto sister of Asteria mother of Apollon and Artemis
motherhood and light were her gifts.
Hecate the witch the bearer of torches daughter of Asteria and Perses.
Eurybia master of the seas daughter of Pontus and Gaea herself.
Wife of Crius and mother of Astraeus, Perses and Pallas.
Eurynome the Oceanid a goddess of the sea, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, mother of the three Charites of grace.
The one of those who nursed Hephestus.
Metis sister of Eurynome goddess of wisdom and deep thought,
mother of Athena, still bearing a child that could
overthrow Zeus himself.
Styx the third sister of Eurynome an Oceanid goddess of
the underworld river. Wife of Pallas and mother
to Zelus,Nike,Kratos and Bia.
Sorry i love mythology.

Bold saying
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
It is said that we are a pile of lies
and that's why we live alone.
A lie may hurt us but even more
the feeling we do not deserve the truth,
but in the end what if our value
is measured by the lies we are
dealing with. Cause lies create big
questions at the truth we speak.

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 see vol.3
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.
295 · Dec 2018
Fuel to the fire
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2018
Fear, tide over something passively stable without great risks
the motif of modern society. Have they ever tried something new,
different, risky? How can people ever get to know if they can
change, be better?
It's like they let themselves loose and accept whatever comes easy
without even considering the consequences.
Gradually they evolve into soft self indulgent figures without
being able to handle the hardness of life itself.
Like a great paradox, they are free for acting just how they please
but suffer from the naivety and outcome of their choice.

As we walk
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2018
Their songs warmed our hearts
but now are echoes in the wind.
As they fell for songs of war
they fought in grace as they
faced death in cold black nights.

With pride and not guns
they gave their fight
with songs and broken wings
made their stand
together in a grey path.

May the ghosts of our fallen
keep you company.

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.
293 · Jun 2017
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?

Lament of truth
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2018
Beautiful were your eyes as the unclouded heaven
beautiful was your heart like the starlit evening
but when you had to humble your pride
the spell of silence fell from you,
your counteraction was as one slain at once
by bliss and grief.
Even if you could not pass through that peril
even if the tidings of your loss had not yet gone forth
and the bastion of your feelings hurled with a ruinous outcome
you could have talked to me, you could have asked for my help.
I wish you knew...

Titaness
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2019
The first daughters of cosmos
queens and princesses of the world
and worlds to come.
Theia the wide shinning creator of light.
Rhea mother of the gods the eternal flow
mother of us all.
Themis the just one keeper of wisdom
counsellor of Cosmos.
Mnemosyne keeper of memory mother of
the nine Muses.
Phoebe the cold crowned, the prophet. All bright
she was as hope in mortals hearts.
Tethys the purifier the blessed water that nourishes
the earth from man's distortion.

Beautiful Crime
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2017
Peace under an illusion
heart filled with substitution.
Ι don't recall what I've dreamed
Ι don't regret who i loved
for I wouldn't be a man of my word.
She knew my name
but not the story of my pain.
I am so tired of
her so cold absolution.
In withered path i tread
to see the light again.
She smiled to me but
could not cover the tears of her sudden fain.
What could i say?
Same mistake
a choice of my bending soul.
I know it's wrong but right is
out of sight.
You are a blessing in disguise
and i am bound  
in a turmoil of
shattered feelings.

Beautiful eyes

A glass of wine, a kiss to my lips and your look in my eyes...
A tight hug and your look in my eyes...
Your caress, your touch, your love and your look always in mine...

Your gently hands become mine, your warm heart becomes mine.
Your smile and kiss unconditionally given.
It is your love not mine...

Sparkly eyes a dress in motion

Hard to say
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2017
For what is worth i believe  
that death is not the end
loss of conviction could be.
It's hard to discern someone's
conviction just by the look of
a masquerade face, sometimes
we can tell by fighting that person
and i have no words to say
to a swindler who dares speak of
grace in his twilight of moral decline.

Change
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2021
Mistakes are made yet share the pain.
Create and change.
Live and feel.
Express the thoughts  
hope for the days to come
and cultivate the art within.
Let the unspoken be spoken
embrace the notion of love.
Can you believe the outcome?

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.

Far yet so close
Dimitrios Sarris Apr 2018
Different but all alike we are,
we love in different levels
but caring for someone else applies for most.
We fear different things but worry
for the same cause, so called life.
Miles and oceans separate us but we lie under
the same sky and dream beneath the same stars.
Dogma makes us distant and it feels dangerous,
flies over the face of reality.
The world is a tapestry of many colors and patterns,
people should respect this not seek to unravel it.
Difference is not disorder.
Love and virtues we praise,
discord and darkness set us frail
different but all alike we are
under a con moon we set our tale.
264 · Apr 2017
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.

Most dear
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2018
Don't waste tears for malevolent "ifs"
for you are as fair as the sun.
Don't feel sad for spiteful words
for you are as lovely as the moon.
Don't let wicked tongues bind you
for you are brighter than the stars.
Such love and splendour dwells in you
that is too sore for my heart to see you hurt.

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.

Capacity of...
Dimitrios Sarris Mar 2017
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...

The four pillars of the earth they were
before Atlas held the world in stir
most powerful but unknown they were.
To south stood the ram as a costellation
at the sky he appeared, Crius was his name.
To north stood an oracle with unceasing foresight
and wisdom, Coeus he was called.
To west stood the spear, the craftsman. Life and death
he wielded, Iapetus the piercer he was called.
To east stood the light, the first light, the one above all,
the father of sun, moon and dawn. The mighty Hyperion
that none dared to cross.

Afraid  to take chances, criticizing from a comfort zone,

Emotionals ups and downs
all spin and move in staggeringly transitions,

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.

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.

Distances
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2017
Distance is a very confusing point. Some people are close to us but at
the same time worlds so far.
Others are kept and carried to our hearts even if they are
far away no matter what.

Since the beginning of time we are separated by distance, literally and
metaphorically speaking. But we come together with long lines.
Telephone, rails, coastal, dreams, emotions...

We can always transcend such distances with a touch, a kiss, a story.
The course is not always pleasant but worths the tears, the pain,
even the suffering...

Not worth even a title
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2019

My heart seemed to say
a sound of distant wind
you have stolen my love again
warmth seemed to rise with fain
and so i've met my bane.
I touched your hands in caution
passion did rise among the endless silence
i traveled your feelings of compassion.
Thus i counselled my reason
to find the outcome of impetuous pathos
that is what existed even before gods
an unending chaos.

Wrath
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2016
One of the greatest moments of our lives.
Patiently maturing our hearts for a beautiful cause and victorious
fall to the field of battle.
But patience easily gives in rage. It begins with a drop,
a single drop. Soon it becomes a river where anger is born
and from this fury rises a raging flood.
The tide wave changes and if anyone stands against
that tide, will drown...
All result of an unchecked wrath in prison within,
for this unjust and unfair world, where whatever is
good and true now watches like a ghost from beyond.
Waiting, faiding, forgetting, no rage just emptiness...

Sometimes
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
It feels good to give, to help, to encourage
selflessly, to see the smile on their face

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.
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?

Lost frontier
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2017
Obsessed with your skepticism
obsessed with your lineage
obsessed with your bitterness.
Why limit your capabilities and
fear what you do not understand?
Always trying to maintain appearance
in public so afraid what would others
think of you.
Returning back to this abandoned place
felt like resting.
Tranquil wind could be heard like a silent
mourn to an abandoned castle.
Trees, roots and soil cover what was great
once before.
I pray for you, i hope for the change in your heart.

There are no surprises i've been here before.

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...

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.
