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.
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2016
Some people act like doing favors and pretend they seek nothing
in return. But i've looked at their eyes listened the tone of their
voice and saw the truth between the lines.
It's about power, makes them feel superior, in control, but all they do
is creating chaos and seeing where the chips fall to hell with the
consequences. It's like a complex, do a favor for one person, someone
else suffers. Doing good things is also a warning. Ιdealism can easily become dogma and dogma to fanaticism.
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...
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
There are no surprises i've been here before.
I can feel the fear, the weakness, the pain
you dare not name.
Don't give in a sickly pride, a reckless choice,
for the events unfold in unexpected ways.
I promise i'll come for you...
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2017
We go where they want us to go
we stand where they want us to stand
and we think they already got the best
of us and they ain't getting no more.
Vengeance their strength.
How much is real?
So much to question.
They make fire and thunder
and so they leap from our hearts
and flow like a current that slides
through the echoes of our thoughts
and evanescent in our spark
of compassion.
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
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.
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...
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
I wish i was better
i wish the world was better
i wish my heart was stronger
i wish i was with her
i wish i could go further
i wish i could hear her song louder
i wish for a hug and feel warmer
i wish i could see the wind dancing.
I wish...
I...
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 Mar 2017
When do we truly dare to say that we know
someone or something at each fullest extent?
When we believe in it?
When we learn from it?
When we have proof for it?
What i understand is that we don't know even ourself
until a critical moment appears, until we have to make
a decision that will affect not only us but people we love
and our soul embrace.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2016
Victorious or defeated makes no difference.
Rising from the dirt, rising to fight on.
A village in dust,
a city in ruins,
a nation's weep.
Victorious or defeated makes no difference,
fallen on both accounts.
Faces and figures from another era,
unkown but familiar somehow…  
Hopes and dreams in ruins,
with vengeance in their hearts and
compassion lying within their souls.
For hope might rise again, a beginning of another era.
Fallen watching from afar, war does not determine
who's right or wrong only who's left to remember...
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?
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2018
Where these words shall find you i don't know
maybe at some  far flung adventure.
I am worried cause you weren't entirely honest
at your last call. Maybe you have grown to long
in secrets and you have become over reliant on them.
All has not gone well with me i've been low and lonely
unwilling to welcome a new day, some sort of lethargy
sunking into my own sadness. I feel the absence of love
it's like cutting void. If i believed in God i would pray.
Perhaps this is what troubles me, i have lost hope or it
has left me and now i stand alone without love that i
have always depended. I am so tired that even fear of
what may come at the future does not affect me.
Old fears have echoed to silence and self confidence rises
for something yet remains. I remain...
So i sign off with hope now and as ever with love for
something new.
The bells might still tolling and flags at half mast
your world in tears, but you are the only one who hears
them who sees them for my heart beats with happy stars.
Let all be well. Goodbye.
Note. Someone asked me at HP if i say goodbye to the world caring if i am well, don't worry i am just saying goodbye to someone i loved and refer to her at this poem
https://hellopoetry.com/poem/2718450/that-night/
Just in pain time will do the work thanks for the readings all
of you!
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.
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...
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2017
Your eyes deceived you once
your dedication even averted
you from getting a glance
you felt the need to confess
but to these gods you can not pray.
Follow the sun
follow the moon
follow the stars
maybe you should have followed your heart
and if you need so desperately the taste of divine
don't put your faith in gods nor demons for there are none
but believe in angels, the angels our human spirit could be.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Something Greek, wanted to share even if most will not
understand the lyrics.
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2016
Far from grace far more than anyone has ever imagined
with feelings that cloud my judgement.
A twilight so strong so unpredictable, trying to control
these emotions or the fight can not be won
for so many others have failed.
I learned from them but i will not follow for this might
be my last.
Shadows wispering broken sounds only a fraction of the
melody it used to be, silence fills the air.
Yet love was found where it wasn't suppose to be.
The burn, the pain, the struggle all my soul's
fragments ready to hear the melody again.
Rhythm well known, tone like none other,
brightness in eyes i've missed so much,
her arms surrounding my chest,
i'm in a safe dream...
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Mar 2021
Universal and timeless is the sound.
Cosmic and unending are the songs of past.
Truth and destiny
myths and folklore of primal time
tail and story of ancient gaze.
Old ways and thoughts
traditions and tools
in so many ways still echo to our hearts
still carry the relevance in our thoughts
to create something new.
That is the purpose
that is the challenge.
Copy the past is not difficult
but taking the old and learn
embracing the old and turn it to something new
accepting the old and give meaning today
that is the saga of the Gods.
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.
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.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Apr 2018
Thoughts had been perverted
walked abroad
   spit fire
the ice won't mealt.
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...
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.
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 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.
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 Apr 2017
Gloomy thoughts scattered inside my head
storm clouds passing though my eyes,
what will I find to the other side?
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.
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.
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 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...
Dimitrios Sarris Feb 2019
I know now that it wasn't you
who fashioned such noose.
It was them, those dark abominations
who fled before the stars of Uranus.
Remember!
We are not weak!
Madness is such a hard thing to define
which makes it such an easy label
to affix to one's enemies.
It's not madness to fight for our right
to exist!
It's not wrong to make a stand and
wake up from the slumber of their lies
to the beautiful dawn of Eos!
Another draft from the book i write.
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
The things that we learn as children
never really leave us
kindness, love, innocence.
So i've been trying to live a better life
no matter the odds and at the same
time i need to reconcile with the fact
that i felt darkness, that i had vengeance
in my head and craved for some sort of
vindication so much.
But what's the point?
Would that make me a better person?
Think not!
So i'll continue trying for something better
and at the same time
i'll heal
i'll tame
i'll conquer
my unwillingly commands.
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
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
fall asleep in my arms.
For her...
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2017
Words fade as if they were false
***** out in an instant.
In time only a memory takes hold
that of a great pain.
Tethered to the killing wheel
i sail to the fires of this world
and keep moving on like an adiction
takes me from the inside.
Another day my ship is wrecked
another life feels like i am flying
another sunset i start to hear them now
like wispers of broken prayers.
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2018
Run the full gamut of emotions
feels like demon's motions.
Great drama
great trauma
happens everyday.
Why give into light out of great dramas?
Why make sense out of fake traumas?
Within ordinary people lie
demons lie
and love cries.
Love that is older from titans
and gods of old.
Love that is sang by angels
and ancient folk.
Love that gave power to
immortal and mortal alike.
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2021
Sparkly eyes like a starry night  sweet like a summer's first sunrise.
She smiles and the sun shines brighter she laughs and the wind sings of mirth.
Her hug speaks no language but only matters and means the world's rejoice.
I almost gave up but her company makes
my chest feel lighter and now i want to try more.
My efforts filled with meaning of happiness and hope i write.
I stand stronger now and my humble embrace will always be given free for her delight.
Gratitude, like a vast ocean overwhelms my heart and sorrow slowly shunts aside.
I will always be there to take her fears.
I will always be there to comfort her tears.
to hear her dreams in wonder.
I will always be there for her to rest her thoughts.
I will always be there for her to lie her soul whose
beauty is that of an angel.
I will always be there in case she forgets
how amazing human being she is.
If my love was time i would give her eternity.
My humble love and care always hers.
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...
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2018
Lost for nothing
Lost in fire
Lost in vain
A memory remains
feeding the ascending pain.
Only the quackery of the
passing time in plain.
In memory of the dead at the fire yesterday especially
for the children...A day that Greece mourns
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
My eyes are opened now
struggles get better
living through was just a luxury
i'll push it till i am broken.
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.
