Now
It took billions of years and a big bang
To come where we are
Billions of stars were born and died
In the darkest hour on a canvass of light

Billions of people have walked this earth
Billions more will come and go
Billions of rainfalls and armies of clouds
But what are billions compared to now

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!

Breathing in
breathing out
through the nose
through the mouth
Going north
going south
with a plan
or without

Speaking soft
screaming loud
blending  in
with the crowd
Hiding in
coming out
from the closet
with no doubt

One way
or another
we depend
from the other
From the one
behind our back
saving us
from the wreck

Breathing in
breathing out
standing up
looking proud
through the pain
crying loud
that is
what's
all about

I hope the dreams
Will be good to you
I would give it all
To lie next to you

When the night exists
We can still pretend
That the dreams we have
Will never end

And at the break of day
When the sky turns blue
I am imagining
I am kissing you

I cannot wait
For the night to come
So we could run
And we could fly

When you close your eyes
As you fall asleep
I cannot wait
For us to meet

It’s the end of day
That makes me smile
Because in my dreams
You are only mine

Stop observing
Stop preserving
Stop the serving
and the curving
Start to see
Start to be
the one you want
so long to be
the one you want
so long to see
in the mirror before you
Only then will you do
the right things and let go
all the aching deep inside
Only then you’ll put aside
all the things that let you dried
Only then you’ll start to grow
in the dark you’ll start to glow
Only then you’ll start to live
the life that was meant
Only then my dear friend
Stop being afraid and start living

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

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

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

Lost my way
With your lies 
Lost my mind 
Lost my pride
Never going 
Back in time
Never going
In this life

I lost my way
In your maze
Full of dead ends
And misways
So goodbye 
At long last
You belong
In the past

It's not a lie nor a dream 
I am outside the labyrinth

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

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!

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

From the top of the toes
To the tips of the hair
A permanent sway
Between hope and despair

Days with no sunshine
Nights with no sleep
Making the soul
Fall down deep

Frantic with anger
Sourced from within
Like closed road to heaven
And paved way with sins

Numb to the world
Nowhere to hide
Persistence of pain
Locks us inside

From the top of the toes
To the tips of the hair
With butterfly wings
We fight through the air

I kissed the moon tonight
Kissed her three times
She smiled but didn't kiss me back
Patience child patience

Funny thing this patience
Sometimes all I have is patience
Sometimes I can't even remember
What the letter P stands for

"P" for patience

Pure souls are like the ray of sunlight
fighting through the darkest night
Like a full moon that wakes your spirit
and makes you smile like a child 

Pure souls are like the first love spark
that makes you feel million of butterflies
floating around dancing to the music
that only you could hear 

Delicate as a petal of the rarest orchid
fragile as a heart made out of glass
tender as the mothers love
Pure souls like you are gift from above

When you look at her what do you see?
When you see her cry what do you think?
When you hear her voice how do you feel?
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?

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

Real women will blow your mind
Real women will never leave you behind
Real women will be kind when you feel hurt
Real women will shout if you can't hear their voice
Real women will show you the way
Real women will charm your soul
Real women will smile with their eyes
Real women will know when you lie
Real women are not ashamed to cry
Real women will feel your deepest pain
Real women are not as fragile as you think
Real women are not afraid to tell the truth
Real women are not hiding behind their strengths
Real women do not show off their beauty
Real women are proud of their flaws
Real women do have beautiful souls
Real women do glow in the dark
Real women do know what they want
Cause Real woman, they love with their heart

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!!!

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…

Just before the sun is giving its birth
and millions of stars are embracing the earth
When all of the senses are being alert
and our souls are fully unhurt
Fully undressed and ready to convert
Unaware and completely impaired
with eyes wide shut and bodies off guard
Prepared to sacrifice and give away the heart
Those are the feelings of people in love
Those are the moments to cherish for life
All alone under the light of the moon
Waiting for her loved one to come home soon
Praying for the one to find his way
To come to her and forever stays

I stumbled over a perfect dream
As the moonlight made me feel
Like I was the only one
She wants to give a smile
And whisper in my ear
Tonight you are only mine

As an empty page to be filled
With sweetest stories and some dreams
I runned into the world
With the heart sawn onto my sleeve
Forgetting about the wounds
That made me feel so weak

Into seedless grape I changed that day
Not by wish but by my faith
Kissing with the rain
Smiling to the moon
Dancing with my soul
I never thought I would

I stumbled over a perfect dream
As the moonlight made me feel
Like I was the only one
He wants to give a smile
And whisper in my ear
Tonight you are only mine

This dream I never thought I had
Made me feel like seedless grape

Who took the smile out of our eyes
As we walk down the street
Pushing luggage we don't need
Reading lies from the lips
Killing time as we please
Hearing voices lost in fears
Who turned our smile into tears

Who took the joy out of our lives
As we move hand in hand
With the one we love
Taking paths up the hill
Making things against our will
We move in pair but feel alone
Who turned our joy into stone

Who took the life out of our souls
As we drive ahead without control
Faking love for the show
Losing ground for the wrong reason
As we keep ourselves imprisoned
Like the pearls closed in a shell  
Who turned our lives into hell

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

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

Silent voices
In my head
Made of fear
Danger, pain
Never hear
Disappear
Only when
I am on the floor
Silent voices
Making choices
Constant knocking
On my door

Restless heart beat
On rewind
Makes me deaf
Makes me blind
Always here
A puppeteer
Inside my body
Soul and mind
Silent voices
Roaring sea
Go away
Let me be

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

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

Someone said to me
How, I replied

You don’t listen

I didn’t say
Speak the only truth
I said 'speak your truth'

I just got the message

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

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

The wind has whispered
Storm is coming

The rain declared

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

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

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

Oh how I wish I was at your side
So you could put your head on my lap
And I could hear your worries all night long
Till they disappear and are forever gone

Oh how I wish I was the bravest one
And let your heart dance around
Make your soul release the pain
Make your eyes smile again

Oh how I wish I was at your side
Oh how I wish I was the bravest one
Make your sorrow in an instant gone

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?

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

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?

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

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

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

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

But I am not a pirate and you are not my ship

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

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

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

There are many shades 
That make a man
Some are white 
Others black

Some are wild 
Like the sea
Others soothing
Like cup of tea

I met a yellow
And I met red
I met men
When they were sad

I met pink
Like a princess dress
Some were gold
More or less

I met green
They never grew
Some were purple 
Others blue

But I've never met the shades of you

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
