The Wound

Peel off your skin.
Look at you.
Your mind is gushing from every vein, every slit.
Your fears are being milked from the exposed flesh.

This is you, my friend.
You have been disfigured and morphed into something you don't recognize.
Scabs are cracked open to reveal secrets only you could be selfish enough to cover.

Your blood drips off the tip of your nose at a steady pace;
As you, my friend, watch your face melt into a sink.
You are disgusting but this is you, and
You
Are
Alive.

Friend, you are perfectly honest;
No carbon copies made.
You let yourself bleed and flood this house,
Because that's all you've ever wanted.
You've finally escaped the cage of bones and skin that silenced you.

You alive and you are free.

Dimitrios Sarris
A crown does not make someone a king.
The woman he loves and call his queen,
prays and stares from afar, for all the blood
and tears he will spill.
All the people he led and promised, craft a
crown for himself. No gold, no diamond
but pure silverlight.
All he survived and almost got him killed
made his spirit bend but never faltered,
for his wounds of honor are self inflicted.
Power did not corrupt him.
Well prepared to lure himself and pick a top.
Heart of a lion, a shrouded armor and a blooded crown,
he is the king...

Oh,My Love.
How heavy these days without the light from your window,
How heavy these hours without you.
Your disappearance severe blow,
Who has led my soul to blackness
Dusty wind blew out my fragile happiness.

Ours swing remained unnecessary to anyone,
They do not bring more inspiration
Nor thine,neither me.
Now the night for me at it as if dead.

How run away thence?!
How do i find you?!
If i see you even just once,
Even if mainly cloudy,
In my heart will be sunny.

I will soak up the rays of light,emanating from you
And one last once recognize the long-awaited feeling of joy.
Your eyes are blue...
My beloved sweet boy...

Be happy,be love..
But what a pity,that you can not take this from me,
Therefore i write octave,
My torment, my eternal love.
Don't leave me....

So hard to paint
on a canvas that is already white
mixed with love and tears
mixed in with mixed up words
must be the fumes
when I feel like this
I shut down my senses
and my nose bleeds
white powder paint

Let us speak only in tongues
For all that wasn't made obvious
May present its true meaning in the unintelligible

Let us converse in stanzas
For what wasn't clearly heard
May perhaps show itself between these lines

Let us exaggerate and romanticise
For all that was spouted bland
May be heightened to receive some light

Let us exchange and trade through poetry
For all that's lacking in common words
May secure a foothold in the readers' hearts

Never have I felt this way.
Torn apart by conflicting certainties.
Not by any means did I foresee this day,
A sterling heart pillaged and rendered speechless.

Purged of freedom I bend a knee to silence;
In worship of a cowardice tongue.
Now I lay in wait for a priestess sent to cushion my tears
And wrinkle my fears like a prune beneath the sun.

When words fail you, as they have I, like drought stricken
Crops; look no further than your heart.
Listen not for words, but to the pulsating rhythm
Of wanting to be alive. Therein lies the sought.

And In this fitting union of unorthodox souls;
Carry the torch and I'll see to it that this flame endures.
