Time is all we have
Afrodita Nestor Aug 2015
Our time is all we have
And still it's all we give away
For a penny or a cent
For a word or just a scent
Of something that was never ours
And as the sweet lie comes along
for a moment makes us strong
For a moment makes us feel
Real love on our skin

But the moment is like the stone
As soon as the sun is gone
It gets colder than the night
In winter time 
How love could be so cruel
How we could get so weak
And forget our only friend
We have in life

Our life is our time
Your life is yours not mine
And all I have to give 
Is this love I have in me
And the sweet lie has an end
As I do my dear friend
And there we are alike
Though my time was not that long
What I felt was never wrong
And it hurt like salt on open wound
But the pain was not that bad
Comparing to what you've said
Having softness of your touch
Melt my soul to death

What do birds do when they don't have a nest?
Where do they go to put themselves to rest?
Where do they go when they want to sleep?
Where do they hide to cry and weep?

Where do they put their feathers and their gentle wings?
Do they even want to know what the next day brings?
Do they have the strength to smile and sing
after they have lost the battle in the spring?

Do they just fly till the light is gone
and just lay around from dusk till dawn?
Do they even have a place to seat?
Where do they go to chat and tweet?

I want to build my own nest
where I'll be the host and not some guest
where I'll feel safe and sound
and just stop flying around

Dear friend,
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
I don’t know you nor we have ever met
But I feel like I owe you like I am in great debt

So let me thank you the best way I could do
Devoting these word only to You

You are my angel though you may not know that yet
You are just a stranger warning me from future threats

You are the light when I feel scared
You are the challenge that makes me feel dared

You words music to my ears
Wiping out my endless tears

You are the one that will save me from the big fall at the end
You are the one my dearest friend
To all the friends I have never met ....

My muse and I
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
Each night I dream of a dancing muse
Moving to the music only we could hear
Tone by tone like drops of rain
Falling gently on her hair

As I close my eyes she makes me see
Blurry pictures of an unknown world
Though it feels like home I am never there
Like drifter lost along the dusty road

When the morning breaks she fades away
As the ink of a long lost letter
But as the moon shows up on the starry sky
We dance again, my muse and I

Message within a message
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2014
Hey, you there with the broken wings
embrace the things that the moment brings
Catch the message between the lines
It's no time to pay the fines

Let the new day bring you strength
Find your deepness not the length
Free the rabbit in your heart
you deserve a brand new start

Scare away the ravens too
throw away the broken shoe
Take a sip of the future-self    
sweep the dust from the shelve

The world is round from above
Find yourself a new love
Find yourself a new affection
Let this be the first selection    

The grass is green and the skies are blue
That is all that is true
Be yourself till the end
Be that one and never bend

*That's the message from a friend

Would you ever
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
Would you ever let me in
Behind the wall made of glass
So nobody would see it
Nobody but me

Would you ever tell
What lies deep within
What have made you cry
What have made you sin

Would you ever hear
What my heart has to say
Should it ever leave
Or should it try to stay

Would you ever try
To do this one thing
Sew my heart back together
And let my soul sing


Would you ever do
This one thing for me

Who do you want to be?
Afrodita Nestor May 2016
The snow on the mountain top
Before the sun melts it down
The leaves on the trees in autumn
Before winter undress them completely

The first flower in spring
that blooms despite the cold
The most beautiful cloud one could ever see
that dances around for no particular reason

The scent of the grass
Just after a pouring rain
The sweetest cherry
Picked right there from the tree

The baby snail
That just learned the best friend could be human too
A dreamer with the nicest smile
that makes wishes come true

If you ask me that is who I want to be

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

Lost
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
Lost the rhythm
Lost the sense
Lost my time
Missed a chance

Lost the mind
Lost it slow
Sold my freedom
For a show

Lost myself
Lost my dreams
Let them fall
As the leaves

Lost my way
Lost it all
Lost my body
And my soul

Lost in future
Lost in past
Watched my burden
Make a blast

Lost the battle
Not the war
Picked the pieces
From the floor

I lost the one
Who I used to be
But built myself
A new me

Lost is good
For a while
As long you keep
Your inner smile

When I write down words
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2015
They might be depressive
Sometimes obsessive
Possessive
From time to time

They are forthcoming
Try to be loving
Without the lying and the denying
That life sometimes *****

They might seem deceiving
But serve as relief
As part of the grieving
Against all the odds

They are part of my thoughts
From past and the present
That make me feel pleasant
When I dance to the beat of my heart

They are part of my soul
I have never expected
That has ever existed
Inside of my confiding mind

Though I have never predicted
They made me addicted
Of the blank spaces
In all of my books

They made me convinced
Without resisting
That words are the only way

To express all my sorrow
To hope for tomorrow
To be better than today

To send me to the moon
On a hot air balloon
Cause words can just do that

To see all the stars
Through the army of clouds
That make the day only grey


They make me believe
And let me perceive
The world through my own lens

The words I write down
The words I say loud
The words that are still waiting their turn

They make me remember
And completely surrender
Before my own self

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

Never shoot a flying angel
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
You don't shoot a flying angel
You don't crash their tender wings
You don't let them ever fall
Nor you take them straight to hell

You don't say your deepest fears
Nor you tell what lies beneath
When it hurts they will know
Angels feel with their soul

If you ever come across an angel
That wants to take you up blue sky
Drop your shield from the start
And let the angel touch your heart

So never shoot a flying angel
They are more than just a stranger

Emulating freedom
Afrodita Nestor Jun 2016
A bag of dreams
And a shot of freedom
Is all we really need
Instead of that
We have a bag
Full of shiny things

And we fight each day
For an unknown reason
The demons of our past
There is no break
Nor a time for rest
We fight until the last

As the days go by
And the autumn comes
It seems though
our lives have passed us by
We try to empty
The bag of greed
And fill it with our dreams

It’s not that easy
As one could tell
The bag is bigger than we are
The empty thing
Will never come
If we don’t know
Who we are

So we take some time
To make some peace
With the past and present too
To find a way to the
Worthy things
And make our dreams come true

A bag of dreams
And a shot of freedom
Is all we really need
To mend our wounds
And fill our days
With life without greed

The black whiteness
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
I can't explain this funny feeling
six feet under then up the ceiling
Miles ahead then turning around
flying high then breaking down

Changing lanes during night
happy days without a fight
Living fast dying slow
up the river down the flow

Playing hide playing seek
being tough feeling weak
Hoping high wishing less
thinking no saying yes

What is mine will come around
What is lost will be found
But need a hand to help me up
need a friend to back me up

It's always hard to believe
with your heart on your sleeve
With your brain on the ground
having voice with no sound

It is I, it is me
so be a friend and set me free
Be a friend and pull me in
hug me tight it's no sin

I am here and there you are
being close and yet so far
I know the lyrics of our song
tender love but yet so wrong

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

I chose me
Afrodita Nestor May 2016
They told me I should
I didn't listen
They told me I can
I didn't care
They told me to do
Told me to go
Told me a lot
You know 
things that start
With must or ought

They told me I shouldn't
I didn't listen
They told me I can't
I didn't care
They told me I'll never
Told me to stop
Told me a lot

things that start 
With no or not

But it was just a noise
I chose me

I am what I am
Afrodita Nestor Apr 2016
I am what I am
I am a woman not a man
I am a cloud and dreamer
I have a mouth and a mind
I have eyes that aren't blind
To the worries that you hide
And the smile of your pride
I have ears for your tears
And a shoulder for your head
Whenever you are sad
I have feet that will dance
When they see a chance
And a puddle on the way
Although the rain is long gone
But I always will be strong
When a friend is in need
And a lost soul needs a light
Through the starless night
So if you ever see
A woman on a tree
Or a smiling head
Hanging out of the window
A dancing heart
Riding on a bike
Or a pair of crazy feet
That do what they like
If you ever see
Somebody like me
Tell them they are not the only one
Tell them they are not the crazy one
Tell them to be true in whatever they do

Cause I am what I am
And don't give a ****

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

Let them touch you with my love
Let them whisper in your ear
Wake your heart and disappear

He

He
His eyes never lie
At least they try
They don’t disguise
and never cry

They are the door
to his fragile soul
Like a secret passage
just a tiny hole

His soul  twinkles
coup de main
Like a sprinkle
not the rain

It is gentle
and it is frail
Like the wind
with no trail

His eyes never lie
and his soul too
They make me smile
when I feel blue

They raise me up
far from the floor
They make me dream
and wish for some more

If you are real please do not hurt me
My heart might be made of steel
But will melt the instant our eyes meet
Like lava does before turning into stone

If you are real please do no not hurt me
I might know how to fly
But my wings are made of dreams
The moment I wake up they will vanish into dust

If you are real please do not hurt me
I might be wise as the oldest tree
But my secret lies in the roots
If they dry out I will no longer be

If you are real please do not hurt me

Up high or down low
With full speed or very slow
Being right and being strong
Where did I go so wrong?
Where did I left my pride?
Why was I who put aside
all the good things and abide?

Why did he never grow?
Why did he never show?
Are we now at the end?
Does my wound have to mend
Before I do the same mistake?
All my life is now at stake
Up high or down low

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

Running 1-5
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
Running (1)

She runs after challenges
He runs after change
She runs with her heart
He runs with his legs

Running (2)

She gave him a head start
He gave her hope
It took a while
But it was just a delusion

Running (3)

Running, walking
Stopping, blocking
Seeking, hiding
The pain just won’t go away

Running (4)

She runs away
He follows
She is out of energy
He follows

Running (5)

She drops
He stops
She dies
He cries

He is still running…

Stuck in the moment
Afrodita Nestor Jan 2016
Stuck in the moment
That brings us worries
Blinded by the past
That might have been
Of a better tomorrow
We start to dream

We run across time
Forwards and backwards
Trying to make sense
Of what we know
And save ourselves
From the deepest fall

Knowledge brings fear
Is what we can tell
That the dreams we have
Might bring us to hell
So we fall into a trap
Between the past and tomorrow
We fall into a sleep
To forget our sorrow

Stuck in the moment
That brings us worries
Sad about the past
That has never been
Afraid of a future that
Might never be
All we need to do
Is set our souls free

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

I cannot tell if you are

I cannot tell this just yet

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 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?

As the day gives birth to the night
“Have faith” a voice whispers
The skies turn dark
And the only light I see
Is the reflection of the moonlight
In the river I am crossing
My eyes are too tired to look up
So I enjoy the reflection
As though she came down on earth
Just to make me company
I like the night
It’s the only time
I can hear what I think
And think what I really mean
As I cross the river
I enter the woods with no light
Even the stars are not to be seen
But I just continue forward
Till I reach the other side
“I have faith” I say aloud to the velvet skies
As the night gives birth of the new day
On the other side of the woods

Is the normal  new formal
Could we be just blind and out of our mind
Why do pure souls have to change
Just to prevent not to be too strange
How is the normal better than abnormal

if one is not a standard size
why do we hate this and despise

when the lights go off and start losing their flame

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?

If we could
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
If time could stop
for just a moment
freeze the instant
I have chosen
stop the seconds
let them dwell
**** the passion
from the cell

If life could pause
for just a while
make no drift
for a mile
to grasp the beauties
around me
to feel the wonders
my eyes see

If I could stop
or make a pause
If I could add
one more clause
to the pact
I’ve made with time
I would make this instant
a future must, like a constant
‘till the last

If we could halt like this together
with no whys and no whethers
and just ignore and delay
all concerns and let us stay
trapped in time for a while
stop our lives and just smile

Perfect kiss
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
What is a kiss with no passion in it?
Why we cannot get it?
Why can we not admit that both lips have to fit
to feel an endless pleasure and find the long lost treasure?
Why do we need a perfect kiss?
Why do we want this?
Where did the passion vanish, who wants us to punish?
What do we miss when we have just a kiss?
Why do we forget this?

We all miss this perfect kiss as it was in the beginning
when our team was still winning and
just didn’t care and had the guts to dare
to search for the perfection and not some blurry reflection

We all need a perfect kiss to save us from the scary abyss
...
At least I admit this

Is it something that was said
that has made you all so mad
But wake up and look around
you are not the only clown
Is it because it was too late
or because you have no fate
to accept the truth as it is
this door might be wrong
but you have the right keys
Is it something in the air
that makes you not to care
how your soul feels in the deep
and you can’t get any sleep
Is it something that you know
or  because you can’t let go
and don’t want to comprehend
that you are not far from the end
So hold your head up and don’t you give up
There will be something very true that’s gonna save me and you
There will be something very nice *that is surely worth the price

Tricky game
Afrodita Nestor Mar 2014
Seating here all alone
searching answers far from home
Hoping that my one and only
isn’t feeling like me lonely
So should I tell him or should I lie?
Be alive or just cry?
Does he see it, or is just me?
Being fool, wishing free?
Is this it, or will be more?
Should I give up or just fall for?
I love the feeling though it aches
It’s like speeding with no breaks
How long will It take
till I hit the wall and break apart?
How long till I lose my heart?
And he plays me I can feel
It’s not a dream it is real
It’s not fiction it’s a fact
and he is good in his act

Madness
Afrodita Nestor Feb 2020
Ids and shadow selves
Wandering around
Forgotten like leftovers
Of unwanted takeaway
Neglected and repressed
Fed by our collective values
And abusive behaviours
A selfless act of a conscious psyche

In a disruptive reality
Used as an antidote for the painful truth
Failing to fail
Just to stay hurt
Missing the obvious
But dreaming of the unknown
Like great artists we admire
The self-orchestrated theft of our lives

Fallen short of an ideal that doesn’t exist
Not even in our thoughts
We wander around
Cultivating dullness and immorality
Covering our tracks with false beauty and self-esteem
Leaving our souls behind
Hiding the madness
Once called LOVE

That there was something in the air
And the one thing it should do
Is to follow me and you

And from being just grey

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

Throw a glance
give a chance
to your life
to romance

Let us dance
with the souls
take our lives
in control

Let us fly
up blue sky
seek for more
out the door

Let us jump
off of cliffs
carry on
with beliefs

Let us hope
slide the *****
wish for change
out of range

Try to fight
the fear inside
think the best
for the rest

Only then
we can be
more there is
of that we see

Only then
we can feel
what is fake and
what is REAL
Let us live with believe
there is nothing we can't achieve
