The other side of the moon
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2015
The other side of the moon
is not dark as it is said
It’s not mean nor have ever been
It’s not red nor grey
It’s not yellow or blue
It’s real as you and me
It aches as we do
Because it’s the other
Not the one we could see

The other side of the moon
Is what makes me wonder
When I see into your eyes
From an inch of space
Between our naked souls
And it’s not the eyes
that make me wonder
It’s not your words
that make me stronger
It’s the silence in between
That wakes me up from the dream

Where the moon and I dance around
Where the dark and light it’s all the same
Where front and back doesn't matter
Where you have just one face
And not a hundred from which you choose
And there are no lies that make me lose
The fight of love
The fight of freedom
The fight for truth against your demons

The other side of the moon
Is what makes me feel close to you
Though I cannot see it
I am sure it’s part of you

Black sugar
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2015
Black sugar you say
Black as the night
Sweet as your lips
Caressing my senses
Touching me deep
I felt it running through me

Warming me up
from the inside
Leaving a glow
of heat and energy
Oh God what have you done
What have I become

Black sugar
in the longest of days
Black sugar
in the shortest of nights
Black sugar
with a friend
or without
experimenting with a friend after couple of coffees from the machine (black with sugar)... Thank you Lena

Completely empty
Afrodita Nestor Jan 2015
Dali's "The Persisting of Memory" makes me think of you
The melting watches start to make sense
while space and time start to lose meaning
I now know what Dali meant  

Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" makes me think of you
Engaging me in a silent communication
while constantly smiling
I now know what da Vinci meant

The empty room makes me think of you
Meaningless objects start to lose their purpose
while the scent of you slowly disappears
I now know how empty really feels

Instead of proper farewell
you left me exposed
breathless and
completely empty

Donut world
Afrodita Nestor Jan 2015
Do we care anymore
other than for donuts
and a free seat in a bus?
We are waiting in lines
for the wrong things and
seating in the wrong seats
Constantly chasing the time
as though it will start
running backwards
as soon as we catch it

I saw one young girl
drawing hearts on a foggy glass
She smiled when she put her own
and the initials of her younger sister
Children care!
I still have hope that
this donut world of ours
will one day be filled
with the right things

For the mean time please one
Chocolate Coconut Cake Donut with Sprinkles
low fat, gluten free and rich in fibres of course
and to go please
so we can eat it on the bus
because when we eat on the go
calories do not count
Daaah!
It's not a poem...but still... I felt lost...

When we are together
Afrodita Nestor Dec 2014
Gravity is negligible
Ground below disappears
Stars are within reach
And our energy grows
Even Einstein envies us
Because time stops
When we are together

Control is needless
With full confidence
we make every desire reality
Even Atlas envies us
Because the world lies
In the palm of our hands
When we are together

As brave warriors
We boldly crash
Every border ahead
For a higher cause
Even Napoleon envies us
Because we are the masters of power
When we are together

The melody of
Our melded bodies
Is the only thing we hear
Even Mozart envies
The perfectly composed symphony
When we are together

Moral vanished
Rationality forgotten
Our psyche ruled by Id
Even Freud envies us
because pleasure is the only drug we use
When we are together

The fantasy is real
As  is the breathing
Mine and yours
Deep and passionate
Even Nietzsche envies us
Because the Übermensch becomes alive
When we are together

What if
Afrodita Nestor Nov 2014
What if your eyes could see
What mine do
when looking at you

What if you could hear
The things you say
holding my heart having my ears

What if you try just for a day
To be here
feel the moment and don’t just disappear

What if you try this for while
What if you do
Would this save me and you?

What if I stop trying to be
The things you want to see in me

What if...

Hosting your ghost
Afrodita Nestor Nov 2014
Ghosts can get into your body and soul
But they cannot touch you
I have touched you
You are not a ghost

How come I could feel you inside of my mind?

I am not afraid of ghosts
I am afraid of my thoughts
I am not their master anymore
Surrender was their only option

I like the ghost of you in me
It makes me feel alive

Speak the only truth

Me & You
Afrodita Nestor Oct 2014
We made the sun aware
That there was something in the air
And the one thing it should do
Is to follow me and you

We made the sky feel jealous
And from being just grey
started being blue
because of me and you

The stars started dancing
To keep up with our happy souls
But there is nothing they could ever do
That can make them feel like me and you

My Miracle
Afrodita Nestor Oct 2014
Nearly impossible and
still here we are You and Me
because the impossible
is in our genes
You put the unreachable
at my reach and
make the unimaginable
just a simple effort

With just a word You tame my troubles
Your funny wit makes
the bad thoughts disappear
Your silly ideas put a smile on my face
And when I feel lost
You are always there
to show me the right direction

Nearly impossible and
still here we are You and Me
because the impossible
is in our genes
Don’t You ever forget this fact
You are the miracle that
gives my heart the perfect tact
Scientists estimate the probability of one being born at about one in 400 trillion and the probability of the combination of two persons being born as siblings is even smaller... To my sister.. my miracle!

Nothing more to lose
Afrodita Nestor Oct 2014
I might look sad
With tears in my eyes
But I am not ashamed
I am really used to cry

As the night falls upon me
I am trying to confess
But the pain deep within
Doesn’t hurt me less

My dreams might have all fail
And it feels like hope has left me too
But the fighter deep inside
Isn’t giving up any time soon

Whichever route I take
Whatever path I choose
I am looking just ahead
There is nothing more to lose

Our Tango Argentino
Afrodita Nestor Sep 2014
When we are together
Just me and you
I imagine we are dancing tango

Shoulder to shoulder
Hand in hand
Chest to chest

Our lips are gently touching
The rhythm of our bodies is leading us
Step by step

We lose eye contact for just a second
But you tirelessly follow my steps
And the moment I think that I have lost you again
You enchant me with your irresistible glare

I passionately grasp you and
Trapped in a love embrace
I fully commit to you and you
you surrender completely to me

When I breathe
you exhale
Our hearts beat to the same rhythm
We have become a harmonious whole

Even gravity has given up on us
Because we obey one another
Not the laws of nature

As experienced dancers
With fluid movements
We transform the fire in us into a passionate dance
Our Tango Argenitno

Naked Love

I am yours Love
My heart is beating in your hands
You My Love
You are its owner now

If it is thirsty Love
Give it a potion of honest words
Because without it my Love
Without it will fade away

If it is hungry Love
Feed it with honest intentions
Because without them my Love
Without them it will stop beating

If it is sleepy Love
Sing to it a honest song
Because without it my Love
Without it will never wake up

Don't worry Love
My smile will be your guidance
I am not worried Love
Your eyes will be my guardians

Because they my Love
They are the door to your deepest secrets
And I my Love

I knew I had long way to go
but I was blinded by your words
I knew that my time was yet to come
but you put down the stars for me
Despite my believes I showed up

and your eyes… your eyes never lie
I left brokenhearted
You left disappointed
Pity, we could have had it all

Remember
Afrodita Nestor Aug 2014
When the wind is blowing in your face
and you think there is no place
to lay down your broken face
remember of all the sunny days
that you loved so much to chase

When the night is full of stars
and your heart just aches from scars
remember that you are not alone
there is someone out there in the unknown

When the sky is out of blue
and you think there is no cure
for the pain that grows inside
remember to ask for a guide

Through the storms and the rainy days
when you think there are no ways        
out of the nasty truth
remember to use your wisdom tooth

To be happy and make your dreams come true
there is one thing that you should do
go to the end of the world and far above
so you could find your true love

And you'll do anything and that is true
you'll go barefoot or without one shoe
you'll crawl and dive for it
you'll run ahead and never quit

Under stars or on sunny days
during pouring rain or in the blaze
there's nothing that you can’t achieve
with your wisdom and the strong believe

So before you stop and give up...  just remember!!!

Forbidden love

I love you said the moon
love you as you are
I love you said the earth
love you for who you are

I adore you said the moon
You make my soul dance around
I adore you said the earth
You embrace me when the sun goes down

I want to kiss you said the moon
kiss your mountains, oceans too
I want to kiss you said the earth
kiss you nights kiss you days
want to kiss you in amaze

I heard the moon only now
Heard her cry her avow
I heard earth’s gentle whisper too
Behind a brow, a distant brow

It's forbidden, but it’s worth
Oh I love to see how the moon kisses the earth

Lonely in the dark
I am whispering my fears
Hoping that the moon

Lonely in the light

Hoping that the sun
Will break apart this cloud

Hoping they will hear
To brighten up the sky
make my path clear

Talking to myself
Hoping I’ll understand
That my future life
is lying in my hands

Lonely in the dark
I am smiling to the moon
hoping that she smiles
back at me soon

Signs
Afrodita Nestor Jul 2014
Cross a sign to have it forbidden
Put a smile so you could sell
Put something in front to leave the dirt hidden
Mark the directions to the doors of hell
Stretch out your hand to help out a friend
Turn off the mute to say loud the truth
Empty your heart to have a new start
Turn on the light to see in the night
Outlive the fright to see your future bright

Bringing winter a new swing
You are like a mountain flower

You are like the summer breeze
Stroking trough the gentle leaves
You are like the toughest peak
Always strong never weak
And all you need is just a smile
to make each day an extra mile
All you need is just a dream
To make your life go upstream
So be as perfect as you are
Just a flawless shining star

The concrete beauty
Afrodita Nestor Jul 2014
I saw a butterfly on the concrete floor
I saw her for a moment, but wanted much more
The moment I touched her she flew away
I followed her lead throughout the day
It’s nothing more thrilling, and mark my word
as to follow this beauty across the world

Though I feel often as lost as she is
As confused and lonely and without a peace
I am asking myself day and night
If this is just wrong or if this is alright

To live in a world with no place for such beauty
To feel like a stranger that has no duty
That has no purpose in this jungle of ours
Like a magic potion with no powers

Like the butterfly on the concrete floor
Like a house without a front door
Like a man with no shadow behind
Is this just me or are we all blind?

When love begins

The first day, the beginning
when two lovers play the first inning
when the stomach butterflies and

When the world is flat and green
and has beauties never seen
When we all are kings and queens
and live in our dreams
only then our love begins

The dream keepers
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2014
I love meeting with my childhood friends
because in their eyes I could see
the reflection of the child I once was
I could find the little spark I once had
And I lost it through the stormy times

And childhood friends, they are the best dream keepers

When I meet with them I see the dreams I then had
And I feel so happy to have entrusted them with this task
Because child’s dreams should never be lost

And we adults, we are constantly losing dreams
together with our keys, our phones,
our passwords and our identity

I love meeting with my childhood friends
They bring me back on my feet with just a smile
It seems as though they know
some secret passage to my happy face

And it’s not easy to have this task
Because we constantly change
Every year, every month, every week,
Every day, every hour, every minute
Every second and every moment
But childhood friends, they know best
how to keep your dreams safe
They know when to give your spark back

Dreams can change, they evolve, but the spark
for letting your dreams lead your life
She is safe in your friends eyes
And the moment you need her she just appears
Right there across the table while drinking a coffee

And the spark is all you need to follow a dream
Because dreams, they should never be lost

The safest place
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2014
When my father’s hands touch me
I could feel the spirits of the past
When my father’s hands embrace me
It feels like the whole world is hugging me back

My father’s hands are not soft
There you could find every drop of sweat
Because he earned his bread
By working and not lying

My father’s hands  are not sinful
They hide the rightfulness
of everything he has done until now

My father’s hands have taught me
to love the freedom
My father’s hands have shown me
how to find the northern star
and that every way I took
could bring me back home

My father’s hands have taught me
To respect people by their efforts not their wealth
My father’s hands have taught me
To be honest and sincere

My father’s hands have taught me
To love the mornings
Because the day doesn’t start at noon
My father’s hands have taught me
To love the evening
Because every warrior needs his rest

My father’s hands gave me
My first allowance
My father’s hands gave me
My first lesson of life

My father’s hands were there
When I have made the first step
My father’s hands were
There when I first fall down
and every other time after that

And when I feel scared
I always look for my father’s hands
Because in my father’s hands
It’s the safest place to be

When you look at her what do you see?
When you see her cry what do you think?

When you touch her softly what can you tell?
Does it feel like heaven or thunders from hell?

When she looks at you what does she see?
When she touches you how does she feel?
When she hears you smile what does she think?
When she kisses you what does she taste?
Will she cherish the moment or want to erase?

When you think of her how do you feel?

My dearest love, my one and only
Have you seen my lost soul lonely
Have you heard her silent cry
When she left with no goodbye

My faithful friend, my strongest rock
Have you heard my lost soul’s knock
Has she come to you somehow
Tell me please, tell me now

Unknown stranger from far away
Please do tell me, please do say
Have you seen my lonesome soul
She might have left or has been stolen

My long-lost soul, my deepest fear
I hope to find you somewhere near
Hope to bring you back home soon
Before next rising of the moon

My dearest soul please be brave
I’ll find you soon and keep you safe

Imaginary non-existence
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2014
I gave up everything I owned so I could find my peace
At the end I was left trembling, naked and barefooted

I gave up everything I loved so I could heal my wounds
At the end they were even deeper

I gave up everything I believed in so I could re-claim my mind
At the end I lost the trust in my thoughts as well

I gave up everything that made me strong so I could forget the mistakes I made
At the end they were everything I could remember

I gave up the day because the night wins the fight at dusk
I gave up the night because it loses the battle at dawn

I gave up the one I became because this is not me
but a pale reflection of an imaginary non-existence

Shadows
Afrodita Nestor May 2014
Confusion all round, just screaming noises
While looking for peace we are forsaking the silence
Blurred thoughts,  the illusion feels real
The eyes could only see what the light allows
There was a time when we were in command
Now, the monotonous life kills even  the routine
There is no existence,  just survival
If we were human we would bleed
If we were human, but we are not
we are just shadows wondering around
and shadows…
Shadows cannot dream
Shadows cannot hope
Shadows cannot love
Shadows cannot live

Just Human
Afrodita Nestor May 2014
Evil words and vicious looks
only villains and brutal crooks
The human is one odd being
always blaming and disagreeing

Once it feels
once it hears
It falls asleep
in ****** tears

The dream is lucid, almost real
it holds him hostage and makes him kneel
He battles fiercely day and night
thrashing, screaming with so much fright

Hoping, asking
all the way
That the life of his
has no last day

Be strong You cursed child of God
there is no life under your facade
You need to free your soul of lease
stop the devil, find your peace

Until you ask for more battles
You won’t see the stars above
You won’t hear the sacred song
Nor could you tell right from wrong

The darkness doesn’t rule the day
The light will always find its way
So make your life of some worth
Be just human on this earth

Facing the devil
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
Who are you and what are you up to?
The devil, The devil, The devil
Who are you and what is your plan?
The devil,The devil, The devil

I cannot tell if you are a con man or just a lost soul
I cannot tell this just yet oh, be the real and not the threat
I cannot hear my voice within, it got scared and faded away
I cannot hear your heart beat too, am I dead or is it you?

I cannot see if you are an illusion or just fake
I cannot see, I must be blind or the one that is left behind
I cannot tell what I have told, I cannot hear what I have heard
I cannot see what I have seen, I cannot be what I have been

Oh, it's just as I have foreseen!
The devil, The devil, The devil
Who are you and how did you find me?
The devil, The devil, I am facing the devil

Stop! You had enough of my soul
Now it's my turn to take the control
Now it's my turn to hold you in prison
I just killed the devil, the devil, the devil
but I had a **** good reason

Who are you and
what are you up to?
Who are you and
what is your plan?

I cannot tell if you are
a con man or just a lost soul
I cannot tell this just yet
Ah, be the real and not the threat

I cannot hear my voice within
It got scared and faded away
I cannot hear your heart beat too
Am I dead or is it you

I cannot see if you are
into me or just want to be near
I cannot see, I must be blind
or the one that is left behind

I cannot tell what I have told
I cannot hear what I have heard
I cannot see what I have seen
I cannot be what I have been

Just as I have foreseen!

Who are you and how did you find me?

Love exhale
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
My dearest one from afar
My broken heart with a scar
Sends a message that I wrote
With my love most devoted
Let the clouds take it to you
Let them dance let them float
When they see you from above
Let them touch you with my love
Let them whisper in your ear
Wake your heart and disappear
My dearest one don’t despair
close your eyes and I am there

Goodnight Lullaby
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
My dearest child

My everlasting joy
My eternal blessing
My strongest pillar and
My endless beauty
Fire sparked
deep within
when I saw you first
from begin

Your gentle look
My dearest child
Your tender touch
My shiny star
Every time I hear
your name
my heart
starts beating fast
untamed

When I see
your dearest face
When I touch
your softest hand
The bad thoughts
die in instant
as does my pain
so persistent

With the honest smile
you give to me
From the doors of hell
you fetch me back
My dearest child
My one and only
For you
there is nothing that
your mother cannot do

When I kiss you my dearest one
Close your eyes and dream my child
‘till the rebirth of the morning skies
‘till you see that the sun has smiled
So close your eyes and dream my child
Your mother’s here to tame the wild
inspired by the experiences of the woman in my family as well as my friends, who already became mothers, but
...
I will get a star one day
and will cherish all the way
her first steps and her smiles
her endless whats and whys
I will do that 'till I die
'till i say my last goodbye
'till my last tear drops
and my tender heart stops
...

Sleepy Love
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
If you are sleeping may these words whisper how much I love you
If you are dreaming may these words help you have a peaceful dream
If you are awake may these words gently make you fall asleep
Let the reality be a dream, and the dream our future
Obey the night as I obey your gentle glare
Free the spirit hidden deep inside you
Don’t be afraid I am with you
Don’t believe the nonbelievers
Neither in reality nor in dreams
Don’t kneel before bullies
Neither during day nor during night
Protect the weak
Always
Assist the helpless
Every time
Kiss me and you will be strong again
I love you, I want you, I adore you
Yes I love you for what you are, for what I am, for what we became
An inseparable being

*If you are sleeping may these words whisper how much
I love you, I want you, I adore you

People
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
We are young
comparing to the secret beauties the earth hides
Like toddlers looking for a lollypop
******* every little moment
as a memento for our existence
Trying at any price
to live a mark, a smear, a scratch
Killing, destroying, abolishing, extinguishing
Where did we go wrong?
People, I don’t want to play along anymore!

Say you love me
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
Say you love me
And I will cherish you
Say you love me
And I will love you in return
Say you love me and mean it
And I will give you my life
... and I will give you my soul
