Doubtless
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2018
I loved you.
I loved you so much
maybe more than a human
heart could bear
for your beauty and song
were not meant for mortals
and my poor soul could not
bear the loss of such.
You were part of my fate as i
was yours. Now i just want to
live to feel free for as long as it lasts.
You showed me that life has more to
offer than struggling for lost loves
or worthless virtues and if i have to meet
my end then so be it.

Sailor
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2017
Fate chose for them to witness war, strife, pogrom.
Sailed beyond the known with titles given,
heroes, explorers, outcasts, refugees.
Their greatest tribulation up ahead,
road to salvation little known,
across a dark heart broken realm.
Tragically falling like the arrows
resolve of spirit rising like the mountains,
entering depths from which more cower
beacons of light few still remain,
prepared to sacrifice all that is known,
to prove that which most afraid, truth...

Morning
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2016
Sunrise and my eyes blurring from light
morning's chilly air touching my skin
cool water on my face
coffee's bitter taist on my lips
birds singing waking my ears
deep breath streching my neck and hands
the bitterness on my heart comes back
but i'll have a day...

Fear?
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
If a man surrenders to his fears he is no longer fit
for the battle up ahead, called life.
He is no longer fit to protect or tend to his loved ones,
all those he ever called family.
Those who felt such fear may abandon responsibility
and mumble from a comfort zone. I can not do that,
i simply can not let down all those i call friends, family
for they are my last hope in this disingenuous world.
Fear to try, fear to be honest, fear out of insecurity, such
fear i dare say almost all mankind bears as sin.
Should hope cease to exist it shouldn't be because we were
consumed by fear but because we made our stand and we
were our own ends. We should not yield within hollow walls.
I am sorry if i ever was weak, felt like i would crumble
within my sorrow. Now i feel free of that burden and i wish
all people could feel such freedom.
Some can not believe that there is even a possibility of getting
better and cause even more damage.
"To hell with that!"
It doesn't matter if you fail just try and show courage in how
cruel the world could be.
Fight to live.
Fight in ways fears tremble.
Fight...

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.

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

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...

Tilt
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
Wake up!
Not from a dreamless sleep or the absence of light
but from a reality that will soon cease to exist.
Wake up!
Fill the blanks between words between worlds.
Wake up!
For greatness sometimes originates from the
confined of impossibility.
Wake up!
For destiny is not without irony.

Virtue
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2021
I thought that there was no greater virtue than
fighting for truth.
I thought that by believing the right ideals,
οthers would do the right thing too.
They did i suppose what was right by them.
Shadow fell and light was forced to run
whatever’s left screamed and won.
Justice or survival?
A devil's deal.
Our hearts might not be looking for war
but war is looking for us.
If it finds me what could i surrender in return?
My sanity?
My hope?
My love?
No matter the outcome it's not the end
but a new beginning
for i never lost my way.

Problematic culture
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
Right from the bottom
straight right to the top
with a promising manner and an exclusive trend
oh really?
how could it last?
All it takes is a relevant ******
and all were gone
as they
were never even born.
Odious and obsessed
why did these people try to forget
that they are the ones who need the world
and this verse could not play in reverse.

Follow
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2018
Storm loosed upon a sea, i would have died upon your arms
it could have meant the end of our time.
We fear nothing and we're still struggling through this journey,
we've come to far to give up, even if the struggle is wasting
from inside.
I would follow you with eyes wide open against this endless void,
i would follow you until the end of my days.
A knight's mourning, a lion's roar.
A pale moon, a wolf's howl.
Still here, a single tread before the light.

Lacuna
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
Wounds are bleeding, i fight to live
and i am afraid to love again.
You became the wind that fills my lungs
I might die if you stop loving me
I might stop dreaming if i forget you
My fate was written with a ruptured pen
lot of ink was poured and meaning
was nowhere to be found.
I dream when i am awake
an effort to conquer the day
and mollify the lonely night.

Cure
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2017
Soul sickened, heart wounded
spirit inflamed by all efforts to heal.
A thousand terrors i intend to cure,
day by day, thought by thought,
emotion by emotion.
A couple of days back i was foolish enough
to believe that motive alone could end
my suffering, our suffering...
I wish the conditions were different
and I never had to let you go.
Time though was never appropriate for us
and we might got separated when we needed
each other the most.
I know that my easiest days are behind me but
i don't want them back.
Move forward that is what i do
and i wish the same to you.
My love stop crying.

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.

My only complaint
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
Risking life and limb in a merciless sea,
our poisons are our pleasures after all.
Dedicated my life to this fight, protecting, loving,
living by ethics that for some are so hard to cultivate,
being true and selflessly giving,
making a stand for those i love.
I let down just a bit and i get blamed from
people that never even tried to be better.
I wonder what do they crave the most?

A small breath
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2021
Sometimes life reveals a harsh face
and we are forced to become someone else
in order to face the void.
Our hearts deny it but our souls know the truth.
We’re born in a world controlled by fear and rules,
slaves to a fault.
What is the point of been created
just so we can serve someone else’s wishes.
All I wish is to set myself free and I would beg for others
to do the same.
Nonetheless rare people come to our lives
and they make us realize our mistakes, to forgive, to remind us
who we really are, to inspire, to preserve the feeling
of love and make us better
even if they don’t know it.

So much for a "crisis"
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
What happened to this place and its people?
Such uncertainty
such misbelief
such "crisis".
Years back people in this country
were strong, dignified, brave
and days were filled with purpose.
When i look back at that i can truly say
life was a thing of beauty.
Once the people in this country
were worthy of the stars in the sky
and now we leave abroad with
whatever hope is left within our heart.
I always wanted a quiet life,living with dignity. Never wanted much and in
Greece we can't have even that. Apologies for the bitter tone.

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.

Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2017
Wounds might start to heal but emotions only fester.
I could hide at this state and forget, but were all efforts in vain?
A gain for someone else?
I don't believe in fate but something strange brought me here.
Perhaps it's time to let go of the past, i take one last look down
at my old self and turn away from the void growing within.
198 · Oct 2017

Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2017
Such vanity they must have suffered
great fear of mortality of growing up
without reason and meaning
for they didn't celebrate the art of
creation whether they were pleased
with the actuall work itself or not.
A man who cares for art only when
he's pleased by it is man who is dead inside
and to the world that he is surrounded.

Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2018
At last i got rid of this darkness
and a beautiful spring has awoken.
I have awoken and looked the sun
that has risen upon the green and flowers.
Courage found its way in my heart.
Everything i've been through all this time
was dark and ill intent, but a new day rises.
I leave behind this gloom or at least i won't
let my loved ones suffer from it.

Make a difference
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2021
Just a moment that's all it takes in our lives.
A moment when you are offered a choice
to make a sacrifice, conquer a flaw,
save a friend, spare a life and all fall away.
The way you see yourself,
the way you used to
understand the world.

Solitude
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2018
As a dim pinprick of light
growing brighter with the
passage of time a slow
consciousness.

Entombed to our own minds
utter loneliness
all amplified and made
endless.
That i ve been trying to avoid...

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...

Passion
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2018
Hear the whispers among the trees
and the echo of the crushing waves
like an anthem of love lost in midnights call
where miracles carry out our wishes
soften our hearts
and warm our bodies.

Forgotten
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
Forgotten like a tale of the old
the memory of you returns
at some point of the day
the pain breaks my core.

I can't be with you
you can't be with me
in my heart you'll
always be.

I think of what
would you do in times
like this, your calmness
your sweetness,
your gentle touch.

Your voice, your eyes
and soft red lips.
Your beautiful hands.
All fading away like
a tale of the old.

Love truly, utterly, unconditionally...
Let it end if that's the best for her, let her go

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.

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.

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…

Still trapped?

Inside my head
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2018
Cunning herald distraught but glamorous
you promise wealth and fortune
in ways and prices of no existence
but who could refuse?
Gamble and some luck, a bargain for souls
you always come back.
I reject your offerings and refuse to go back
you're hollow a shadow of nothing
provoking my limits
tempting with your majesty
threatening with suffering.
I don't care if you always find a way
i will always transcend your ways.
You clame i am nothing without you
but the truth is you are nothing without me.

Time vol.2
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2016
They say the passage of time heals all wounds
but the greater the loss the deeper the cut and
the most difficult is the process to become whole
again.
The pain may fade but the scar surves as a
reminder of our suffering and make the bearer
all the more resolved never to be wounded
again.
So as time moves along we get lost in
distractions, act out in frustration,
react with aggression, give in to anger
and all for a while seems that we plan to
become stronger and before we know it the time
passes.
We are healed in a way but at the same time
the memory lurking in the shadows, strike
us again the moment we give in...

Inner yell
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2017
Tired of running need to catch my breath.
Tired of shouting over and over again,
lifting burdens of syncopating curses,
no caress to be found and i move in circles.
So much noise so much fuss and all this
yelling just for a complain.
Problems like a drop lost in dirt while
there's an ocean covering the earth.
I need to stop, i need to change.
A halcyon voice from deep sea's tide,
a wooden skiff ready to sail through
the night's blackness.
Deep brown eyes whiten by moon's
reflection. Farewell...

Dreams visions of our memories, thoughts, fears
as seen by our heart. What if we are always dreaming,
even if we are awake and we are able to see only a portion
of reality. Is this what life is? Maybe we are afraid to see
the world for what it really is. Better or worse it doesn't matter,
it would be real. In this hard gravelling earth illusion takes hold
and spreads like a disease, but at that same earth i got to know
true love and friendship. I got to know the good, the bad, the worse
and all were real.

Promises broken into a nightmare where all dreams

Smother my furies and banishe my fears.
Nightmares that form out of darkness
nightmares that travel stormy black seas
nighmares that reach misty shores
where my thoughts live.
I am home but it doesn't feel that way,
the sea has taken my soul and waves break me down.
Through my darkness i find myself to you,
in my chest still beats a heart.
I fight for my love, i fight for my dreams,
now there is a way to win.

Killing the nostalgia
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
Tales that will forever be lost
stories that will never be told
sacrifices that will never be known.
My love seems a bit from these all
my heart in the beat of a squall
my life breaches the gates of a wall.
Thoughts will never be silenced
facts will never be undone
amnesia is not the plan.
I won't beg for the price i've paid
i won't regret for the ruin we've caused
moving forward looks like a brawl
that was the plan all along.

Thoughts had been perverted
walked abroad
   spit fire

Dark and slumbering visions
crawled out in the thrill of night
and haunted the love i used to feel.
A heart of fire cloacked in shadows
the sun is gone
the warmth is lost
my heart trembles with
no will to beat again.
My love is wrecked
the memory still stands
a fraction of who i used to be
makes me breath just a little longer.
My eyes stand low for
there is nothing left to be marred
hollow but free...

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

survived this demimonde.

but deeply felt.
I am free and with my two feet taken

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.

The aftermath
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2017
There's a new voice singing
you can hear it if you try
i don't regret a single choice.
Thoughts mixed in clouds
of smoldering air
a couple of burning eyes i can't control
a heart heir to another's wrongs
a whisper of doom
a silver moon sings, does it mean my end?
I walk on scorched earth
like a shadow made from ash
in a dark black night.
I approach  crystal clear waters
to quench my thirst
i approach deep blue shores to sail far away
this time not alone.
Proceed and reignite
i promise i will not forget.
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2017
I was trying to find myself again
i could fly and cover height
instead i kept climbing,
a steep ***** the sufferings of my heart.
I could finally be free but heaven cast me out
and i find my way in ruins.
With writing and music i try to conquer each day
and my soul has no courage to admit that is over.
I can hear your voice in this empty room
a whisper of broken sounds, your love all around.

The Way to Hel

I sought the songs
I sent the songs
when the deepest well
offered drops so mighty
of Valfather’s pledge

I know it all, Odin
where you hid your eye

Who will sing me
in the death-sleep sling me
when I walk the road to Hel
and the tracks I tread
are cold, so cold

Early or in fading day
still the raven knows if I fall

When you stand by the gate of Hel
and when you must tear loose
follow you I shall
across the bridge of Gjöll with my song

You become free from the bonds that bind you
You are free from the bonds that bound you

Fear is not evil my love, it just tells you what your weakness is,
it makes you stronger, it lets you overcome the obstacles ahead.
You should not fear the shadows they simply mean there is light
somewhere nearby.
Don't fall to people who criticize and are so eager to remind you
your sorrow for they're full of envy and grudge.
You'll always be my little bud
you'll always be my lioness
you'll always be my queen
you'll always be the one who i'm caressing until you
