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.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2016
A crown does not make someone a king.
The woman he loves and call his queen,
prays and stares from afar, for all the blood
and tears he will spill.
All the people he led and promised, craft a
crown for himself. No gold, no diamond
but pure silverlight.
All he survived and almost got him killed
made his spirit bend but never faltered,
for his wounds of honor are self inflicted.
Power did not corrupt him.
Well prepared to lure himself and pick a top.
Heart of a lion, a shrouded armor and a blooded crown,
he is the king...
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2016
Named and chosen by king.
Shallow manners, gentlefolk and crown jwelles
nothing mean.
Skin pale like the moon, a mellow sight with
compassion for her people,
a flaming heart for her loving king.
Queen she shall be named.
Stature of a lady and the steeliness of
a lioness.
War and discored with tears shall flood
her eyes, but her crown crystal light.
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
Giving a chance
testing my luck
defying my dream's will
feeling like sculpting.
I think i am going to put
you in trouble for that
cup of coffee
my memories like
offerings to an altar
of old scars.
Forgive me
excuse me
for such a long talk but
i think the trembling in
my heart has stopped.
The tone in your voice was sad
our minds were gone in feelings
we could not name.
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.
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.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2021
Overwhelmed by anger
sorrow and loneliness changed you
power corrupted you
your lust for redemption consumed you
surrounded by pain your heart abandoned you.
An angel within sang in vain and fell
for you did not listen.
Hear my confessions
witness my truths
your eyes avert in bliss.
Mistakes are yours to burn
but i won't return in ruins.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2016
It's weird what happens when you fall in love.
From the very first moment your heart tells you
that you do not have a choice...
It's unbearable to get into a relationship with the right person
at the wrong moment. I think that maybe the right person at the
wrong moment is simply the wrong person.
Like a drop lost in dirt while there's an ocean
covering the earth.
People lose once and it's calvary for them, but they have no idea
losing every single time it's surely a distress.
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?
Mirror
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
Blood boils and a thirst for revenge is overflowing.
No i need to make this right.
I need to make right the faults that opposed me.
I need to make this right for my heart has grown with pain.
At this pile of ashes a great fire used to burn
the fire that used to warm us both.
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.
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...
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
Since the beginning of time man kind
loved to tell and share stories.
Absolving ourselves from our own
and learn from others.
Stories might be different but all continue
with the same phrase "...and then?"
No matter how hard our lives can be we
all live with the same angony like when
we read a very good story. Turn the page
and find out what happens next.
Always look at the stars for in the sky are things
we can see and some we can not. Speak for the
things that others can not see for people like
to hear stories and shape their lives amongst
the stars, into the unknown.
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.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2018
I sense it around me, my heart denies it
but my soul knows the truth.
All i need is to say it out loud.
We are born in a world controlled by fear
and compulsions, slaves to a meaningless
purpose.
What is the point of existing just so we can
serve someone else wishes?
All i hope is to set myself free and i would
beg for others to do the same.
My instincts always served me well i can not
deny them now.
A distant voice echoes inside my head but for
the first time it is my own.
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2016
I slept and dreamed
not fields and forests
but darkness and bliss
angony consuming.

I walked a path, all so dark.
A black wolf appears with
old cold blue eyes.
It dragged me in darkness
with invincible might.

It growled and howl
like none of its kind.
I woke up in fear
the pain from its claws
was real.
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2018
In black and white it seemed to be.
Thick fear was all around
ruins started crumble
frozen cold upon the frailest veil
too many paths appeared to be
but only one with a wall i could break.
There was a shapeless figure waiting
in the shadow of an old tree.
It was a woman who called for help.
Weak and sad she seemed to be
covered with leaves and feathers
from her black twisted wings.
She touched my heart
remembrance at last
she was the outcome of my lost love.
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2018
Slow heartbeat with heavy breath...
Tired of feeling lonely, my grey old blanket
was always big enough for two.
Now my heart is ever lonely.
I feel like that even when i am with family,
it's strange.
Feeling loneliness like a cold spot in the room,
at least you can tease me, shout at me,
get a reaction to know that i am still here.
But my sadness is like an icy well.
It's bottomless, swallows up my voice
and anything you try to drop into it.
I feel pain...
Apologies for my last poems, having that sad motif,
can't help it...
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Feb 2016
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...
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2018
Living in this era of fear. Each one of us consumed by
something else. Loneliness, insecurity, death, even fear
falling in love. So much stress and anxiety, does it even
worth to try? Such question i dare ask myself and i
answer in relief, of course it does and there it is i have still
strength and will. I can still dream and put my thoughts
into action. Life is unique but so small.
A white canvas with black and grey
but with passionate red and caressing blue,
heartwarming brown with a handful of green,
monotone yellow and others not so fancy,
all needed, all creative, all ruthless, all forgiving.
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2018
Driven out from your dark corner
everything feels in a disorder
i'm guessing that your comfort zone
was just a grey zone
fulfilling nothing but pleasing
untitled, meaningless desires.
Life you say is grey too but at that assumption  
you forgot about black and white
you forgot the vigorous emotions
that made you feel alive.
But don't forget you are human not some narcissistic being
pretending drama, craving attention.
No matter who you are you do not know
what kind of man you've become
until the very end.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2018
I guess this is all that loyalty buys
in a world without love
pain in the night and death to love's floor.
Perhaps that awaits me too.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2020
Cernunos the forgotten god
the misjudged, the demonized one by younger folk,
naive folk that sunk in prejudices.  
Cernunos, called the cursed one from that very same folk
that forgot nature.

Here is the voice of the God
By Ram by Bull by Stag
I am the hunter in the wild, the horned one,the healer,
protector of nature and master of the sun.
I am balance.
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2018
Emotional ups and downs, sigh..
Each one gets a part of me that could
not shake. The nuts just keep coming
out of the woodwork.
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...
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2016
A fire always keeps on burning. Why are you cold in despair?
Your thoughts gone bad i see it in your eyes.
You can run,
you can hide,
but where will you go?
A light so bright called truth fighting the ill intentions of this world.
Why you try to hide in shadows when there is no place this light
does not illuminate.
A strong rock like a boulder founding the earth.
What are you trying to sake?
You took your chances and yet you choose this road.
Tide waves crashing your soulless body.
How will you swim back at top?
Nothing is going to change no matter what you do,
for hollow and fake you can not escape.
Truth, honesty and promises all these you left behind
and you will not escape.
The sun, the moon, the truth can not stay long hidden.
Ancient scary as it sounds, yes you should be terrified.
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.
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 Jun 2021
A life of less behind
a demand of love bursts inside
i write words and songs of mourn
i provoke my heart, our souls in yearn
with poetry i cast this sorrow aside
every whiff of yours gives me life
your voice and music make me fragile
questions make this mind agile.
I don't know how should I put it into words
I can’t express it in this world
I stand where none will ever dare...
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.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2019
It s not the darkness that makes freeze from fear
it s something old and powerful, notion long forgotten,
Erebus or Nyx it is ?
No feels something out of time and place, undimensioned
the old ones are here that s why i quiver in fear.
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2016
Everytime i wake up i do
nothing else but to think of you
and now we are separated
i do not know how my heart beats
i do not know how the day breaks in me.

If there is something that made me yours
that's your persistence, your eyes, your voice.
If you just knew the endurance your strength
gave me when you said all we'll be alright
and i heard your voice, you singing in my soul.
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2017
You raised the stone on your own.
You have looked what slithers beneath
and beneath that earth, beneath that stone
the next world teems and grows unchecked.
You were gifted with admirable talent
beyond this world
beyond
below
behind
before.
Your knowledge considerable but with the sin
of wrong thinking.
At a moment of purity and ease you started
listening wispers of a dream
that you are dust of an echo in fading mist.
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2018
Our habbits, our age, our personality, our wealth,
our beauty are all meaningless in the face of death
and so the question "what matters most?"
becomes controversial. Poeple get confused and
close their eyes to what they do not understand.
But the truth of the matter is there are many unusual
things in this world. And people... People are the
most mysterious of them all.
Even those we love most are mysterious.
They might not be perfect, we might not be perfect
but they are there for us trying the best they can.
That's what makes this world so **** beautiful,
that's what matters most!
Dimitrios Sarris Apr 2018
Such an abrupt ending
a chance to leave some
ghosts behind.
Behold the king
of timorous
who hoarded corruption
within his precious walls
here is his peace
by steel's swift descent.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
I know you are tired so am i, we both suffered but not in vain.
You've shed countless tears and there is no doubt, no woman
loved me as much as you. I tried to be optimistic but i just can't.
We believed what we were doing was right and it was in a way,
but now i see. What we want from what we must do dictate different paths. When i asked you " What do you want from your life?", you simply answered " To be together, happy"
All i do now is stare a blank wall, loneliness followed by the calmness of the night. I try to write something else, joyful, poetic, colorful but i can't. It feels like the pencil in my hand moves by itself and i write about you, for you...
Everything around me seems grey, i sleep to much and when i am not i just lie down thinking, just thinking. Some music to ease my mind, heavy breaths to calm the pain in my chest. All i do is writing, reaching to a dead end.
I might have mentioned her in previous writings. She is the woman
i loved truly, utterly. I am better now starting to getting over her
but there are those times that can't be helped.
Sorry for the bitter tone at my writings lately.
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2016
Secrets, small statues of glass well kept in hidden lockers for they are so easy to break. Secrets that are kept from others cause we are afraid that they will change their minds for us, or we will hurt them.
The reallity is that secrets hurt more than the truth we try to hide beneath them, but the greatest mistake is that we think we'll make our lives better keeping them well guarded.
People make the separation truth or courage when there is no difference. You need courage to speak the truth but even more to hear and accept it.
So truth or lie, light or darkness. It's so discouraging to know that mankind in such dilemma has a proclivity to choose the most self destructive option.
Like the fish in the water we are, swimming between nets. Other visible and other not. We can get trapped in them but not for a lifetime, cause we insist to forget that we weave them and unlike fish we could break loose whenever we want.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
Another morning just the usual, music and a cup of coffee.
It was cloudy, a couple arguing outside perhaps too much...
My own break up scene came up my mind, but there was no
yelling, no confusion, no hate.
I had to. For her own good, just so she can move on. Get
married have a family perhaps. The difference between our
age was no problem she said. But then again the things she would
miss, no i could not do that to her. I could not be that selfish even if
my heart breaks in two.
Goodbye my love, goodbye my queen...
Today i was informed that i got my certificate as a civil engineer.
A great sense of accomplishment in my heart, she learned about it
and she's really proud of me but i wish i could tell her, i wish i could she
her smile.
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
of remarkable spirit that was taken from me.
I will not yield.
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2017
It feels strange and i question myself.
If you've taken my heart how am i still alive?
My life became an endless darkness
between the living you buried my body.
I'll make a suit of perfect dreams,
two heavenly spirits hold eternally.
They've pushed us too much we finally broke
they've made us fall but we'll make them crawl.
Sometimes people are so eager to criticize and remind us our afflictions
and almost never our happiness. I think it makes them feel better because in a way they make an excuse for their own. All that just for an excuse...
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...
Dimitrios Sarris Mar 2018
Is it a fragile psychology
or an agile psychosis?
Tried to settle my emotions
tried to read though your intentions.
Our hovering hearts and
throbbing bodies
a tale our touch could only tell.
Last night was not as every night
it was like our first night.
Thoughts and memories kept me
wondering is it worth all this
suffering. I only dream another life
this one you taught me.
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.
