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.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
Greatest lessons in life are learned through pain.
Hurt in order to know
fall in order to grow
lose in order to gain
but love and caring should not be forced out of
hectic situations.
Some things such as love and morals lose their
meaning if people support those ideals because
of a traumatic outcome.
Love, caring, morals should be considered standard
not a worthless compulsion that enslaves us.
People should cultivate upon those old yet newly
known to some ethics.
Disheartening that most lose sight of what's most
important and change becomes impossible in this fog
of ignorance.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
It saddens my heart to
see the pain and suffering
people inflict on each other.
It saddens me beacause
they don't want to stop.
It saddens me that people
crave the opposite of honesty.
It saddens my soul that poeple
critisize and feel happy in the
suffering of each other.
It saddens me that they would do
anything for attention in the
frame of social media.
It saddens me that they do the
opposite from what they must
and all they feel is anger
just blaming anything but
themeselves.
It saddens my heart that they do
not recognize the distortion within
and they won't ever truly awaken.
It saddens me bacause it feels like
i'll be fighting these people till the
end of my days.
It saddens...sigh
It saddens me because these words
would mean nothing to them.
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2017
My grief is broken
your soul burned
but not forgotten
their lies could not burn your truth
their acts could not drown your spirit.
You always had the courage to thank
only those who deserved it
even if your time burned away.
One burning heart the light you
cast on their shadows and reveal
their loneliness and rust
Now i see they're alone
with such their heart is rotten.
I thank you...
Welcome Autumn
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2017
We know war it's with us since
the beginning of time
coming and going with the tide.
Rebelion rose in our hearts
but fires burned cities and souls
to ashes all gone just like that
with a snap of a finger
cause we allowed it so and
we built up walls like it would
stop anything.
There was a time so long ago
before the angels fell
before the rivers turned black
before the songs of the woodland
fey folk were gone and greed did not
blind our hearts.
Why do we let those false gods
seek the monsters that we fear the most
and chase the nightmares that haunt
our silent dreams?
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
Let nothing grieve you beyond measure
life is short and time will claim its toll.
It's like moving forward but
remaining to a tempest of blood poetry.
Such an irony to feel free yet again
not satisfied completely.
Darkness is not meant to last
forever neither light.
The soul is the only immortal
essence in this world
the quintessence and glory of it all.
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
There is nothing left
no fear
no hate
no journey
nothing.
I learned the hard way
of disappointment
but life without loss is one
without love.
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
If you knew how much i've missed you.
Your absence is like rain and with a silent
fall a sea is formed, endlessly sinking inside.
In darkness i shall be light, in times of solitude
your memory shall keep me warm,
in thrives of despair i shall home my craft
write and express, in confusion i shall have
no illusion, in the midst of the drakest hour
i shall have no fear.
I shall define art and it shall define me.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2018
What if happiness is not only joy.
What if happiness is the struggle you've been through
for a cause known only to a few,
yet full of love and compassion.
What if...
What if happiness is a light
seen only by few.
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.
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...
Dimitrios Sarris Oct 2016
I sat next to her, strength and passion which used to keep me with her still were there. My legs trembling and i felt plunging into the abyss,
vertigo...
We knew it had to end but we were there embraced, our souls were embraced.
I tousled gently her face and hair. It was like standing on earth but also flying at low height. I could see how beautiful earth was from up sky high.
Earth, people, trees, mountains, homes, my most beloved. Nostalgia for the moment i first met her. The newfound feelings borned inside me and the harmony flooding me when i look at her face.
Goodbye...
Dimitrios Sarris Mar 2019
Here i lie on mount of smoldering rock
here i wonder in poems of silverlight.
Of gods and titans i lilt
of elves and mountain folk i write
of nymphs and elven maidens
i play this lyre
of forests and deep blue seas i dream.
Last of my name
last of my kin
lost in my lay.
Dimitrios Sarris May 2019
Let your heart unleashed
let your mind released
let your tears flow
let them wash away your feelings
of destruction.
Let your soul free once again and
welcome the cooling breeze
of sunset's late glimmer.
Dimitrios Sarris Apr 2017
Life has moments worth living and
is too beautiful to insist into unavailing loves.
Life is too short trying constantly to fix
mistakes of the past,
is too subversive to rest upon provisional facts
for the scraps inflict new wounds
and all that matters is not how many wounds
have been opened but how many
can be closed.
Dimitrios Sarris Mar 2017
When my untold sacrifices are never valued despite they've
been seen and my told sacrifices are never believed.
When i inspire and encourage someone
give love, share dreams, dare to follow.
When all sense of selflessness pick a top,
soul, heart, mind liberated.
Unafraid to go where life leads and somehow
i know i'll be strong, i won't let sorrow hurt me.
For once my emotions won't be hammered but
embraced where i am not alone.
When they catch me if i fall, my wings shall heal,
i am liberated.
Dimitrios Sarris Apr 2022
A life of pain and dreams ahead
a life of love and thoughts to miss.
Feel and live but not regret
for time is what we all got.
Time and memories is what our souls yearn.
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2016
Our life moves in circles,
always in the same blood vein,
every ending, every goal it's a new beginning.
Like a cloud i change, in time colour and shape
together entangle and i suspire in lifes thread...

Each one of us alone marches on, in love, in glory,
in death.
I know, i've tried...
It does not help, let me come with you...
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2018
Red lips and old wine
a step or two
skiddy beep bop beep bop ba doo!
Sparkly eyes a dress in motion
a step or two and swing
beep bop ba doo!
Love starts to feel like heart attack
my heart is getting aches
is it me or is it you spinning around
like a beep bo ba doo!
Am i taking the wrong way or the
moves command?
And this is how i fall for you
skiddy beep bop beep bop ba doo!
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
One more day passes and i think of you.
A day at work and my mind forgets awhile.
A day at home and music moves me through
the motions, but a second it's all it takes
hear your voice and soften my inside.
A second to remember you telling me that you sing only
for me.
I am not afraid to accept the state of things
what appear to be but i dare see what all could be.
Maybe i am fool to believe in such a thought,
but i do...
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
Only we can protect ourselves from persistences and understand if the
the road we walk comes with a high price.
We believe that we can absolve, become saviors, even avenge if it's
needed. We make war to our enemies and they to us with or without
the privilege of choosing. We dream of doing something good and leave our mark to this world for our loved ones.
Even if we sacrifice ourselves in battles which won't be archived everything starts and ends with ourselves. Lonely as it is do not fall,
for loneliness is one of the worse...
You know that you are alone when there is none
you can call yours.
You know that you are alone when there is none feeling your absence.
You know that you are alone...
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2016
Waiting between worlds.
One journey ends another begins,
an endless cycle of peace and war.
Serenity against chaos
angels fighting demons
light and darkness bound together,
both blessed or cursed to never end?
Every soul in search for that point
in between.
The point that everything is clear
and balance starts to set the world in motion.
Honesty, loyalty, courage, love.
All giving their essence creating something.
Something better than before.
Dimitrios Sarris 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...
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2018
In vast mists of unending laments
spreads a silence with ominous vigil.
Shattered helms and cloven shields here lie cold
doomed to rust.
No wind blows as snowflakes fall
at these grey grass fields
spring seems to be forever gone.
Yet a flower grew with white petals
so helpless seemed to be but
no wind, no rain, no snow could harm its beauty.
A song was told by elven maids
and sunrays ogle its small green leaves.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2021
I remember, i know this place so well
the very spot we used to watch the sunset
hear the waves crushing to this little port.
Now it lingers in my mind like an image
from an old dream and i discover
a strange truth. That i start to forget
your face, your voice and i'm frightened.
Before i meet you i had emotions i could not see
i had time i could not fill
and i had love i could not feel.
Now i realise the void inside my heart,
endless affection my love.
In time i could see the world as you did,
a place full of music and joy.
Now i hold only a fragment of it
and i try to move on, feeling cold
I...
Dimitrios Sarris Apr 2017
Can't hold, can't sustain, can't maintain
the thought that lingers in my mind.
I yelled, i shout at myself, stop!
Stop thinking the notion of going back.
But i held her at my arms and so she held my face.
We stood there for a couple of minutes no words
just a calming silence, relief.
A sense of kindness was all i needed
my thought now homed and settled.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Nov 2017
Don't stop writing, just give it time!
Don't force it out!
Inspirtion could manifest into beautiful creations
to revolting thoughts commencing a cloud of wrangle
and contradiction.
Nevertheless good writings are not nice words
but heartfelt words.
Write whenever you want
write whatever you want
write whenever you feel it's needed to
expressing is all that matters.
Inspired from a conversation with a friend.
Dimitrios Sarris Jan 2017
People will always astonish us
with their words
with their actions
with their hidden personalities
but sometimes we surprise ourselves too,
with the unpredictable outcome of
our choices
our priorities
our point of view.
People the most distraught
animals in the planet.
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2017
I carry your melodies
that fill the air
and shove the waves ashore.
I carry a heart in rusty chains
burning for redemption.
I inhale
I exhale
I let you light my waning soul
and cast away the longing
i tried to bury long ago.
Your face starts to fade in my thoughts
and fear blooms within me.
I could not ask for more
just a memory of you singing happily
just the look of your sparkly green eyes.
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2017
My ship is sunken
mast, wheel, sail
cracked, crushed, fallen.
Not now there is no time
forget your half measures
swim, breath, reach.
It's been so long
we've been through hell
and high water
you and me
but who do we want to be?
Sun up, sun down
time passes
but your memory can not
fade in the grey
it just comes and goes like
the tide in the moonlight's grace.
Dimitrios Sarris Jun 2017
Could anyone really advise us which path should
we choose in life? What kind of wisdom dictates us
to make the right choice?
What is right and what is wrong?
In this mixed up world choosing right from wrong is
not easy. We can't just go by someone else's rules.
If we let ourselves be controlled like this we just
become a mere shadow following someone's moves
that can't make decisions of its own.
We only hope to live by our rules as everything happens
for a reason and our destiny slowly takes form.
Try to remember that the stronger the light the darker the
shadow.
Dimitrios Sarris May 2018
Like indolent dream washed away
by the sea's uprising
passivly yielding
into a sheltered thought
for i can't explain
this weathered plot
it feels like years since we've touched.
Maybe in another life
a better chance
maybe in another dream
with a sweeter glance
maybe my heart
with a different stance.
Another day of
gibberish grouse..
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
When you have the knowledge and power to change
something to prevent a stressful situation and you do not,
anything that comes out of it happens cause of you.
But then again even if you act, change, save, prevent,
it comes up with high cost.
My heart still questions the right choice...
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
A simple excuse is what most need and they think
that justice is a synonym for revenge. They claim
that all they do is natural and not an act of distress.
So how can i quite this part of me that at any tipping
point someone will linch and act uncontrollably
achieving only to hurt those he or she loves.
I fear that most can not bear to lose any more and they
would give into a comfort zone, into zestless and
voiceless acts only leading to their ruin.
The world is a harsh place and there are those who
would see others suffer for their own gain, even
flay those who would try to help them.
Difficult to be stronger than our excuses but what is
worse from losing ourselves.
Dimitrios Sarris May 2017
Your hug, your kiss, your breath
my feelings in resurgence.
At dusk, at daybreak, at dawn together.
Never separated from your soft skin and life flows
with pain at ease, in your caress, your gentle touch.
Your lips touch my neck again as you lie down next
to me and perch. I am lost...
Lost in your green eyes, enjoying your hand fondling
my beard. It's like a dream but i'm awake, my thoughts
frozen as i await your next kiss
and my heart ignites as your body
covers mine.
Feeling helpless in the memories of a woman i will always love
and the circumstances do not allow us to be together.
Endless affection...
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
Marched through dark veiled halls
and through forged spiked gates
walked through scorched dales and dried lakes
where the beast lie and gaze
where even demons fear to tread
this ash breathing wolf
with eyes glaring red sapphire
straight from hell's embrace.
Alas if he did not fight
Alas if he did not stand
for there was none else and
the need was dire.
Leaped around the giant like murky wolf
until his sword met the dark woven heart
but teeth and claws had taken their toll.
All seemed green and silver once again
music from the rustling leaves to soften
the pain of this spent fair soul.
Something different.
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
Searched in old grievous forests
in barren smoky wastelands.
Alas if she did not
for such pain she could not bear.
The beast's carcass from far away
could be seen, like a lone mountain
stood in the middle of the dale
shadowing the place
something like ash was spread all around
the beast's blood it was
and from it new life arose.
Green and flowers grew again
white roses they were.
There she found the body of her beloved
pale and cold it was, eyes shut...
Tears of grief and endless pain she shed
and sang with eyes staring the sky.
"Lo the outcome of this brave soul's intent
Lo my heart's last beats
Gods i sing you this
tale where life and death vie for control
this tale where love and pain vie in mortal hearts."
And so she closed her eyes and travelled where he did.
And so her frail longing heart came to an end.
White rose is the favorite flower of my true love
and i devote this write to her..

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...
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.
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.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2019
They're still standing like statues of marble rock.
They still linger in humans hearts bearing the gift of old.
Nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne keeper
of world's memory.

With eloquence and harmony of voice Calliope presides in epic poetry.

In heaven of holy spirit Urania withers away
warden of philosophy.

Sacred is her hymn, sacred is her poetry, sacred is Polyhymnia
the dancer.

Joy and laughter brings Thalia with comedy and idyllic poetry
and men overcome their grief.

With a lyre in hand Clio tells the story of the world
but with no delight Melpomene narrates the tragedy of this world.

She is the loved one, the desired one Erato of loving poetry
giver of delight.

And close to the sea stood another, with a lyre in hand Terpsichore
dancing with her daughters, the Sirens.
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.
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.
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?
Dimitrios Sarris Aug 2016
Sometimes we seem bad to those we love
but the truth is we act like this in order to protect
them, cause we are strong and we would sacrifice
so much maybe more and even more for them.
A man does what he can until his destiny
is revealed to him. Every person is responsible
for his own path but without condemning
someone else in it.
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2016
We follow some stupid rules and still not enough.
What does it really take?
We do what it needs to be done and still lose.
It doesn't matter, do your part or not the outcome is still the same.
Saint or not still lose…
Even when the storm calms there it is, another tempest.
How much can our wooden ship withstand?
Sometimes i think it's better to let go and let the stream lure
me to the sea's bottom.
Relief...
But if someone get's used to struggle, just moving through the motions
eventually won't give up won't succumb.
Let the tide ride up and you get drowned.
Ride the tide and let it guide you. Lower your ship and reach your destination.
There are times the road back to the port goes through the heart
of the storm. Unclench your fingers from the wheel and then
wish the sea is with your side. If your hands hold tight to
the wheel, it's a lost cause. Maybe destination it's not the place you direct but the place you abut.
Like a key which unlocks what is most hidden...
