Seeing you today after so long
might hurt, make me feel like a rag
but i can't explain the joy i feel at
the end of this day just to be a little tired.

No roots vol.7

Protecting, serving
speaking for the dead
some people are born like this
with empty black holes in their heart
no way getting ouf of it
no change in their mind
and the black holes rule
till the host is dead...

Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017

No roots vol.6

I was concerned rightly so
cause hate hangs on
and sorrow is all you had
could bring you back there
back to wrong choices.
Lo the frailty of your soul.
Lo the thirst of your heart.
Lo the fabric of your broken
reality.
As your mind and heart vie
for control listen to the melody
that once nourished your sight,
listen for your soul deminishes
in depths that none could reach.

We

"We"

I know my share of troubles
        I own them all today
Its a price we pay for breathin'
        And its each in his own way.
No runnin' from the pain now
        There's no place left to hide
When the weight of life is heavy
         I need people at my side.
With caring hands that hold me
        To help me through the day
And a warm and human shoulder
        As I cry my blues away.

Our pain is not the devil
        Nor a hated curse of man
Its a common tie that binds us
        Through the colors, creeds and lands.
Now some have trouble walkin'
         And some are halfway blind
Yet we can help each other
        To a gentler state of mind.
We know our share of troubles
        We own them all today
We can let go of many, and
        Live through the ones that stay.

The greatest gift of all is to bear the pain
of your loved ones wihtout breaking and
as frightening might be that pain will make
you feel stronger to stand for them and
selflessly grant them comfort.

I command

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.

Wind whipped flame

I don't know why today of all days
i was thinking about you.
I don't know why today of all days...
I might have tried less of forgetting you today.
Even if it's been so long
i still miss you
i still love you.
By no means was this love
for the faint at heart
by no means was this life
for the weak and the lazy.
I'll think of you
when i start to lose faith.
I'll think of you
when the mist goes thick.
I'll think of you
when the lament of my lost hope
takes hold in this tilted heart.
I'll think of you
as i sing the light melodies of poems
that echo between the foaming waves.
I'll think of you
as i remember your green eyes reflecting
such starlight...
So be it.
