Penetrating the soul
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
It's funny how people 
Look for thorns when they want to touch a rose
I'm not afraid of thorns
They make me feel alive
And she, she makes my heart dance
The moment I feel her scent
I don't love the rose for her thorns
I love her despite them

Falling asleep
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
His eyes oh his eyes
They’ll make you kneel
They’ll make you fly
They’ll make you reach the starry skies
Oh his eyes his honest eyes

His lips oh his lips
The softest touch
The finest kiss
They’ll make you dream of endless bliss
Oh his lips his sweetest lips

His voice oh his voice
Making thunders
Causing storms
It will leave your heart without a choice
Oh his voice his tender voice

As I close my eyes and fall asleep
I let my dreams take me to him

I never asked
Afrodita Nestor Sep 2015
I never asked to be 
Your one and only
I never asked
For more than the
Time we shared
And all you did 
Is lie to me
And promised
Things that were never there

How long
Should one pretend
That the thing we have
Is at the end
How long 
Should one not see
There is no more
Of you and me

My heart is dumb
To your empty words
My ears are deaf
To the lies you say
My eyes are blind
To the things you do
I tried so hard
But it's the only way

When you have someone
Under your skin
It's never easy to let go
Never easy to get out
Of the inner circle 
Of such power

I see myself 
In the mirror 
At last my image 
Doesn't fade away
With you behind
My lonely past
Doesn't seem 
To be unfair

Mirrors
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
Why can’t mirrors talk to me

          Why
                           Why

Why can’t they hear me cry

          Why
                           Why

Why can’t they give a hug

         Why
                            Why

Why can’t they bring some luck

          Why
                            Why

Why can’t mirrors reflect the soul

          Why
                            Why

Why can’t they fill the hole

         Why
                            Why

Why can’t they show the way

         Why
                           Why

Why can’t they make you stay

          Why
                            Why

*Why can’t mirrors let me be more there is in them to see

Dream romance
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
There was One
and then were Two
waited Three to be free
never came
what a shame

They put aside and abide
what was left on the ride
It took long just ahead
never noticed they were dead

What is One without a Two?
What can One even do?
Does a Three have a chance?
Or was this only
dream romance?

To the fallen stars
Afrodita Nestor Sep 2016
A full grown heart
full of scars
beats inside
an empty glass

The glass is full
when it rains
A sea of tears
wounds and pains

It gets empty
as the days go by
Heals the heart
until it's dry

A full grown heart
beats in us
sewn together
out of fallen stars

Left my heart in NY
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2016
Ace of spades
Is what I got
When I listened to my heart
This one time
Miles away
From where I was born
I felt undressed
As nature does
When cherries blossom
I admired them when I walked into you
The darkness could not hide
Their naked beauty
Nor my surprise when our eyes met
I knew it was love that my heart played
To the notes of a symphony yet to be created
Only our souls could hear and
Would dance, just as I imagined
Yours forever whispered the wall
We lean against to kiss...
I can still feel the taste of you
No floor... Leave... you said
I left flying not because there was no floor
But the butterflies you awaken inside of me
Ace of hearts
Is what I lost
When I looked at you
The last time
When we said good-bye with our eyes
Too afraid to say it loud
Ace of love
Is what I took with me
To the other side of the ocean
But left my heart on the armchair
Next to the photo booth
So I could return soon

Whisper
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
Whisper whisper from afar
Guided by the northern star
Dancing dancing in the night
Like a burning candle light

Thunders thunders breaking free
Making music I could see
Riding riding on the waves
As the water wildly raves

Coming coming like the tide
Filled my soul with morning light
Whisper whisper sweet as kiss
Made me dream of future bliss

To Berlin
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
Where the East meets the West
and your mind feels possessed
Where the night smiles back at the day
and the spring smells like a bouquet
Where the wind makes you wonder
and you heart beats like thunder
Where your sorrow is gone missing
and your soul is secretly kissing
All the wonders your eyes can ever see
Oh, Berlin you make me be a better me

Now
Afrodita Nestor Nov 2015
Now
Blinded by the seconds we invented
To measure time
Killing spirits is all we do
In the world that does not exist
Anywhere but in our thoughts

Are we dependent of the past
That never happened?
Are we afraid of a future
One of many that could be?
Helping ourselves
Through time of change
Change we cannot embrace
Change we cannot feel
And yet it happens
With or without our consent

Time is change
Life is ever changing
For better we hope
And fear for the worse
Why the fear
Why do we cry
Over things that doesn’t exist yet

We feel weak when faced with time
We feel weak when faced with ourselves
We can say hello in 100 languages
But could not speak to our soul
To look inside is an imperative
To reach outside is a must

To inhale the imagination
Of a child that has no fear
Is what can help us
Free ourselves
Of the burden that has no name
Nor face and yet has slowed us down

We fight each day again and again
Against our demons with no power
And it seems to us as though we lose the battle and the war
And all we have to do is look inside
And free our mind of the ignorance that holds us in prison
And makes us blind of the kindness
that this world was built upon

Kiss now cause the future is too far away
Love now cause the past will wash away
sooner than tomorrow
Live…Now!

What is the purpose
Afrodita Nestor Aug 2014
I want to smile
I want to make him smile
I want to smile with the one that loves me

I want to be happy
I want to make him happy
I want to be happy with the one that loves me

I want to love
I want to be loved
I want to love the one that loves me

What is the purpose of life when there is nobody by your side?
To make you smile, to make him happy
To let the love lead the way
What is the purpose?

Broken hearts
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2015
I fell asleep
With the scent of you
With a touch of you
I closed my eyes

I flew away
With a thought of you
With a thought of us
I touched the sky

Rays of sunlight
Passing by
As are the days
Since we are apart

Long gone stars
are the only ones
that give me hope
of the lost time

You and me
We still exist
In the empty space
Of our broken hearts

The pirate and the ship
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
If I were a pirate and you were my ship
We will go out into waters deep

We will go where the sun is bright and shine
We will have strengths to cross that horizon line

We will go places far and away
You will be my company during night and the day

But I am not a pirate and you are not my ship
so let us keep dreaming and get back to sleep

The plait of love
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
There were two bodies
Plaited into one
Like the horses tamed
Like the birds flying free

If you leave them
They'll reach up to heaven
Beyond the end
Of the world we could see

When separated they fly
When one
They don't leave their nest
Forgetting about the rest

Even time surrenders  
When they meet
not passing by
Lying down at their feet

There were two bodies
Plaited into one
Lost in their embrace
There were two bodies in love

The inner glow
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
I got a tattoo of you
The ink penetrated my skin
And went deep inside my blood cells
It wasn’t a choice nor a wish
It happened out of the blue
Like you did when you entered my life
As I faded away like shadow does
When there is no light
Far away from home
My heart felt it belonged there
Among the clouds
Hiding behind the mountains
Of forgotten snow and lost dreams
Like the ink inside my body
That made me glow
I am the light now
I left the shadow behind

Honest eyes
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
All the colours of the rainbow
make the white
When mixing red yellow and blue
you get the colour of the night
But what comes in between
the yellow and green?
What does it take and how do you make
a bright black or a dark white?
How do you make the colour of the light?
Is it real or is it just us
that don't want to believe
and don't want to discuss
the brightness of the colour black
what is it that holds us back?
Is it a mirage or a matter of fact?
Do we need a law or some special act
to see the darkness of the white
in the light of our sight?
Why does a child have the power to see
the brightness of the darkest one
and the darkness of the brightest sun?
I love these honest eyes
I love their sincere surprise
They are the ones
that make me believe
in the magic of love
with my heart on the sleeve

Smiling to the moon
Afrodita Nestor Aug 2014
Lonely in the dark
I am whispering my fears
Hoping that the moon
will wipe out my tears

Lonely in the light
I am shouting aloud
Hoping that the sun
Will break apart this cloud

Talking to the stars
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

Hey John

Hey John
You say that’s not your name
I don’t mind
It’s your choice
But is this the only thing you hide
  
Hey John
I like your soul
At least the part I see
But eyes can cheat
Learned that the hard way
Hope this time to be right
At least let’s pretend for the night

The book of pain
Will hold me not
For true love
We should never stop
In the rain or snow
During day or night
For true love
We should find a way

Hey John
Take my hand
let us fly
Let's pretend
Not to have
Anything to hide

The book of pain
Will hold me not
For true love
We should never stop
In the rain or snow
During day or night
For true love
We should find a way

Hey John
I like your smile
and the stories
you like to tell
I hope to see you
once again
But let's pretend

Betrayal
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
The wounds are deep
They shot me down
They lift me up
And dropped me down

The scars are fresh
Will stay forever
An eternal mark
Of my last endeavor

My soul just bleeds
But it will heal
I got stampede
That’s how I feel

I can’t cry
It’s not a choice
I can’t speak
They took my voice

But I can write
What lies in me
Unveil the secrets
For the world to see

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!!!

Sweet moment
Afrodita Nestor Jan 2016
When we both met girl
What did you see 
Who did you kiss girl
What did you miss

During the day boy
When the sun was our friend
You were the one boy
That smiled with no end 

During the night girl
When the sky was all dark
I was no blind man
Cause you were the light

Did it feel right boy
Or was it so scary
Kissing the wind boy
Have we grown weary 

How did it go girl
When it stop blowing
When you stop feeling
The touch on your skin

It felt like a dream boy
Felt like a storm
Now it's just the past boy
And that makes me calm

It was no sin girl
Nor was a dream
It was sweet moment
That kept us upstreem

It was no sin boy
Nor was a lie
And the sweet moment
Made worth the try

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

All alone
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
I think I need a lifetime
To wear off these feelings I have
To cry out this river veiled in me
Cause life is no fairytale
When there isn’t you and me

Why it gets harder
Each time I fall down
Have I not learned it yet
That people are just clowns

Only a fool and a lost soul
Can give them credit for nothing they have ever done
And give them a chance to prove
That they are children of the sun

Oh why did you let me fly
Just to drop me like a stone
Oh this falling has no end
Why did you let me feel you
So I could never forget?
Nor can I have any regret
Cause the feeling you have left me with is bitter sweet
Oh we should have never meet

Why did I let you in
When my heart was still a wreck
And it couldn’t see what is bad
Or that you are still sad
Oh why did I ever believed
That your words are from your soul
From within

If you ever meet your soulmate
Just make sure that he is the one
Before he strips you to the bones
and turn your heart into stone
Even the softest wind will crash your wings
before you realize that you are again all alone

Knighthood
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
A dark knight  
Riding alone
Across the starry sky
Ready for battle ready to fly

The battle is fearce
One could just tell
Fighting the evil
Out of hell

The evil is dark
That much he knows
As the fear inside
Continued to grow

The night is ice cold
And so is his shield
Instead of protecting
It made him kneel

Frightening scream
Woke up the wild
The knight was injured
Deep in the night

"Surrender"
"Never" screamed out the knight
He picked up the pieces
And continued to fight

The sun his faithful friend
Asked gently the moon to light up his way
It gave him hope
Of the new day

Angel carrying a lifeless body
Is what you could see at the end of the night
He might have lost this battle
But never the war

In his soul the light was still on

What Is Love
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
What is love I asked a stranger?
What is faith in time of danger?
How do you know at end of the day
If  the one beside you will forever stay?

What is love I asked a friend?
What is faith when you‘ve reached the end?
How do you know if the feeling is true
If you should stay or say adieu?

What is love I asked my mother?
What is faith when you have no other?
How do you know when to make the turn?
How do you feel, how do you learn?

What is love I asked my father?
What is faith when life gets harder?
How do you make the rightest choice?
How do you speak without a voice?

What is love I asked my sister?
What is faith when your life is blistered?
How do you tell which one is right?
How do you sleep without a light?

What is love I asked my lover?
Do we have faith, could we recover?
Do we have hope for the time to come?
Are we believers or are we just numb?

Love is believing in the other one
Love is the light when there is no sun
Love is the potion that we all should drink
Love is the script in inerasable ink.

The man and the rose
Afrodita Nestor May 2016
I don't know you 
My humble one
Other than the times 
You bow your head 
To take advantage
Of the scent I have

Neither have we met
During night of
Sweet surrender
When the moonlight shines
Upon the thorns 
I've hidden out of shame

You seem like a rainbow still
That makes me smile 
With no reason
But I'd like to see your true colors
Beneath that tender heart
You showed me until now

In your gentle whisper
I found a refuge
During this monsoon season 
That will shortly end, I hope
But until then 
May I call you just a friend

Funny thing
Afrodita Nestor May 2016
I think you are 
one of the few good things 
I have at this moment
Not that you are mine
Nor that I am yours
But it's just us 
Here and there
Silently talking 
To one others souls 
Or to the void
For that matter

I wish I was as good 
As You give me credit for
Or as bad as I am used to
But I am not
This is me being myself
For no other reason than 
To impress me and not you
Funny thing 
This soul of mine
I cannot get enough of her

There are many shades 
That make a man
Some are white

Like cup of tea

I met a yellow
And I met red

When they were sad

I met pink
Like a princess dress
Some were gold

I met green
They never grew
Some were purple 
Others blue

But I've never met the shades of you

We are young
comparing to the secret beauties the earth hides
Like toddlers looking for a lollypop

Where did we go wrong?

Take me home

Like a colored cloud
Over forest
Full of lime trees
Where she dances
Like the breeze
On an August night,
I surrender
To the shades
Of her soul
And the scent
Of her passion
That makes me burst
Into particles of light
Oh how I love the night
Oh how I love my dreams
When I am there
I can kiss her
Any time I please

Questions to the void
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
How do you find your soul mate?
Is it by a chance or is in the fate?
Is it written in the stars or in our natal chart?
How to find this missing part?

How do we know?
Does it have to snow?
How does it feel?
Do we have to kneel?

Why does it hurt?
And makes it all that worse?
When we make one mistake
Are we all just forsake?

Will the other know?
Will he maybe glow?
Will there be a sign?
Or will he maybe shine?

If we ever meet
Will it be on the street?
Or maybe at the sea?
Do I have to climb a tree?

Should I just go on
Or should I wait till dawn?
Has the chance drove past?
How long this battle lasts?

I don’t have any strength
I don’t have the body length
To stretch out every day
Just to be betrayed

So what is wrong with the world?
Why is it so tough and curled?
Why is it so hard to see?
Why is it so hard to be?

I just have the brittlest heart  
That doesn’t want to fall apart
I just have the frailest soul
That needs the one to fill the hole

All I want is just a proof
That I am not the only goof
All I need is just my fate
To take me to my soul mate

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

The forbidden
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
It's delicious I can see
made of beauties heavenly
It's so tasty I can tell
made of secrets from the hell

But it's forbidden, not for me
should be hidden in the sea
buried deep in the ground
never seen nor be found

I am weak I must say
I should mind my own way
I should go straight ahead
thinking only with my head

But cannot close my inner sight
couldn't do if I'd liked
I know the weakness in my head
What's so wrong in going mad?

It's a game, sometimes hard
it depends on the cards
The risk is mine, I am aware
but can't refuse such a dare

And who could resist such a feeling
such extreme such appealing?
Maybe you or some other
but never me, so why bother

So am I, sometimes blue
sometimes lost or without a clue
but always ready to pursue
what is pure and what is true

And would you say the same for you?

The who?
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
It was the wind 
that woke up my heart
Kissing me gently as lovers do
It was the wind I am telling you

It was the sun 
that made my soul smile
Telling me stories of ancient times
It was the sun in its own prime

It was the fields
That let my eyes feast
With all that beautiful green
It was the fields like I have never seen

It was the mountains 
That made me feel I was the king
Sharing the secrets known only to them
It was the mountains they are to blame

It was the clouds
That taught me how to sing 
Showing that life shouldn't be strange
It was the clouds that made me change

It was Love who 
Woke up my heart
Made my soul smile
Let my eyes feast
Made me feel I was the king
It was Love who
Thought me how to sing

Spirits of the past
Afrodita Nestor May 2016
Blue was the deepest see
Blue as the sky above
Sending waves form a far
Crashing her eroded heart

Loud was the sound they made
Loud as a lion roar
Broke her dream into two
As they sneaked in through the door

Purple was the scarf she wore
Purple as a summer night
Made her shine bright as star
Shadowing the moonlight

Cloaked in dark
They climbed the bed
Creeping slowly
In her head

Erased her pain
As she slept
Burned her thoughts
Made them melt

The next day
When morning broke
She was free
As she woke

She found her peace at last
With the spirits of the past

Who am I to dream
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
You are a story that I write
Since the age of five
Since I saw that butterfly
Landing on my finger
I kept my breath
So she wouldn’t fly
Away like the rest of my dreams
For a moment longer
I could have been dead
But I never thought of that
As I exhaled
I scared her off and she was gone
Quicker than the image of my first kiss
With the frog I thought would turn into prince
But it didn’t
Who am I to dream
But a wounded soul
Trying to tell a story
Since the age of five
when I saw that butterfly

On your way to happiness
Afrodita Nestor May 2016
Our souls are here to make us see
There is more to life than just to be
Though life is full with pain and ache
But only there for our sake

When faced with love
One does need
A full grown heart
Used to bleed

The heart is full
when there are two
To melt together
As me & you

Teach your soul how to kiss
It's the only way to an endless bliss
And never settle for something less
On your way to happiness

Under starry skies

On a distant beach, I see you 
Smiling to the sea
As the mellow rays of sunshine
Fall upon thee

On a distant mountain, I see you
Smiling at the road
As the dancing clouds
Take away your load

Loving with your heart
Singing with your soul
Kissing with your lips
Melting as you go

It's not that distant future
When you close your eyes

I lost it
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
I lost 
What I never had
But it felt mine
I lost
A fight in my dream
That was never real
I lost
A kiss I was wishing for
But never came
I lost 
Time searching for an answer
To a question that was never asked
I lost 
Myself in a story
I wasn't even in 
I lost
A game to an imaginary friend 
In an imaginary world 
Imagined but not in my head 
I lost it

You love all her flows
Her crazy thoughts
Her loud laughter
To your stupid words
And her softest touch
Just melts you down
Her tender lips
Make your soul strip
Before her honest heart
That just cannot wait to start
Dancing in the rain
Whenever it’s in pain
But she could never sing
Nor she could ever bring
More than just what she is
A simple girl that knows to fly
So don’t get me wrong
But if you don’t love all her flaws
It's time to let it go
That is no where you belong

If you talk to your soul
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
If you talk to your soul any time soon
Tell her I miss talking to her
Tell her I miss dreaming with her
Tell her I miss flying away with her

If you talk to your soul any time soon
Tell her I love her
Tell her I am glad we have met
Tell her that I am happy she found her home with you

I wonder
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
Lost smiles
Like lost birds
Walking the pavement
Of a forgotten city
That once was an empire
Of lost clouds
Seeking refuge
During summer months
When the sky was blue
So the sun could warm up
The souls of the lost loves
Wandering like lost ghosts
In an abandoned house
Dancing like the window shutters
Making music during summer storms
Lost smiles of lost loves
Is what I hear when I walk the streets
I wonder if you can hear them too
Since your soul left you

Let my tears guide you
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
Good night my love
Let my tears quench your thirst during your sleep
Cause they are part of you
They ache for you
Feel them on your skin
As I do when wiping them off my face
You are a good soul
Free your mind of worries and
Let our dreams unite
I have found you
You have found me too
Let us be the one we were
Through the centuries
Let me love you so you could love me too
There is nothing more beautiful than that
Let this poem lead your dream
Out of the woods of worries
That is no place to be
I know, my love that you will find your way to me
So let my tears guide you to the right place you should be

Colours of my life
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
Blue freedom far from me
white shadow behind me

Yellow sun far beneath
red carpets underneath

Orange lights over me
green dreams on the tree

Can you hear my voiceless pleads
can you see my faithless deeds

Hope this feeling will go by
hope to end before I die

So don't forget me I am here
making steps to come near

Me, myself and my foolish heart
breaking free for a brand new start

A Seed of Love
Afrodita Nestor Nov 2024
I miss the weight of "I love you"
The gentle pull, the soft breakthrough,
A phrase once whispered, raw, sincere,
Now scattered wide, to all who hear

I cast it out, a fragile charm,
A whispered warmth, a healing balm
To strangers, friends, and passing souls,
To mend the gaps, to patch the holes

It’s not a lie, but not the same,
It lacks the spark, the tender flame
Yet still, it blooms in passing hearts,
A love reborn in scattered parts

Perhaps in giving, I will find,
The echoes of a heart aligned
Until that day, I’ll let it flow,
To bloom in places I may not know

When I close my eyes
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
When I close my eyes
and think of the moment
our lips melted together
in the park where my soul got awaked
I could still feel your softest touch and
hear the sweetest words one can ever tell
I could also hear the music the stars played
just before our eyes met for the first time
where people usually say farewell and
not their first hello
And in this short moment
overwhelmed by feelings I cannot describe
my soul starts dancing as though I was by your side

All I want is to be your two minutes
as your are mine when I close my eyes

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
...

When I am with you
I feel like a cloud
even gravity cannot touch me
That is why it hurts so much
when you stopped wishing and
dreaming about us flying together

Close your eyes
Open your mind
Enjoy the feeling
Don't be greedy of time
There is nothing to it
If you are present in the moment
Time does not play any role

Wake up my love
Spring is coming to our hearts
