Her hand fell in the cool waters
she felt free and alive
her red hair cascaded in the sunlight
and for that moment I was in heaven.

She smiled at me with so much love
and I wanted to cry
she is that magic you never want to loose
with all the love she does ooze

She is a fairy princess
in a pink frilly dress
I adore her
and wish she was mine

My path is not hers
and to cross hers was a gift
that brief moment
that brief moment in heaven

I will never forget

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Time will call me soon to account
tell me I have had my lot
I will tell time, No I don't want to go
from cradled death to cot

I am gonna tell time
I'm not finished yet
I have so much still to do
I will treat him like a cat and tell him to shoo

And if he brings Death with him
I will laugh in his face
for he can't take me away
from the human race

Maybe I will not open my door
just shout thought the Letter box
Just take a running jump
you and yer chump.

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

How I remember May
how strong and courageous
to you I raise my sword
and fight for what we lost

Your mother took her life
and my kind took it back
God smiled on your loss
and I am part of you

Our crest lost our lineage broken
but as long as I breadth sweet air
by the strength of my faith
the banner and our name will still be there

For this is May
this is my stronghold
and for you nanny
this poem was made

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

My Zebra stalking friends
how I watch you're zig zag ways

Eyes precise as any hunter
a wonder to watch

Skip and hop
find your prey

Be glory small
but deadly

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Watch our ways to a perfect war
tremble as we make fine, destination
kneel now before the final curtain
feel the red velvet in your face

Watch us land in heartland's
know we never left you naked
should I waste my time
oh yes..forget, I have dominion

As dogs of war
we did choked
we will have this day
without rebuke


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Out of his house he comes
the man from 20 Brick Road
He's a curious old chap
with his ivory cane and top hat

He waves at his cat
where by window it's sat
and the cat mouths back Meow
waving it's slender tail

Always two hours of endless shopping
if hungry there's a cafe to pop in
he's an amiable man, always tipping his hat
gets giblets from the butchers for his lovely cat

Then home he strives
with a smile on his face
knowing his cat
will be still in it's place

So that is 20 Brick Road
I wonder who lives at 22

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

How beautiful this living orb
from here how silent you do look
blue with gentle swirls of puffy white
land masses of green and brown hues

Who would think that down there
life takes on it's endless struggles
the fragile fight for existence
yet from here, such a peaceful orb

It's orderly rotation hides the turmoil within
shows nothing of it's wild whipping winds
nor it's swelling seas or it's burning heart
not even the hassle and bustle of mortal cities

From out here you are a place of order
from here you look like a lovely home
that is only from here though
yes, such a pity it's only from here

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

How many hearts were broken
in the wake of her beauty
how many young hearts
shattered from lost desire

Her grace a perfect concert to behold
her limbs always loosened to suitors
she, with the smile sweet as an angel
a gift from the gods to nearly every man

She left a trail of ruin
this was Lela's Legacy
and I could not believe
I would fall to her charms

Yet in the warfare of the heart
the mind falls so quickly
and I had became
part of Lela's Legacy

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I have been told by him
alone
to declare my faith
to show my wings

I know this will be the end of me
I knew that on my first Christ mass
I am just another guy with the word of God
Just another cog in the machine of God

If only as children you could have seen those cities
for yesterday was 5,000 years past
and I wake up in you're somewhat reality
knowing we are the bastion of the last

Oh My Faithful Wings
a shadow of death and light

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The morning mist envelopes me
the sun on this cool morning
kisses kindly my brow
and for that moment I find peace

My country is green and good
as my soul ascends, now content
I hear the chapel bells call to me
so I walk the dawn of their chimes

I step with the grace of smiles
for I see divinity all around me
I see the glory of life
and for that I am happy

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

She wears her heart on her collar
her eyes shine with purity of kindness
and she once smiled at me
with the kiss of summer winds

Yet I live in winter
I felt her warmth
the fact that I was not her kind
did not seem to matter to her

She waved in poetic extinction
examining all that was possible
and she came to the conclusion
that all that we were was lost

She filled our cities with water
filled our hearts with pain
told us to leave now
that mother nature was to blame

Take my lungs she cried
spitting blood like a hero
knowing that all we were
would be a finite Zero


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

What came first the chicken or the egg
eggs bro, just ******* eggs
what comes out between a chickens legs
eggs bro, just ******* eggs

Eggs in ovaries
eggs in the ground
eggs in the open ocean
laid with no sound

Eggs at Easter
no embryos inside
just a little present
may within reside

So what came first
the chicken or the egg
well come on
it has to be the egg

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

She was broken she was lost
she felt like a ghost at midnight
the hollow feeling within
her shattered life

So many tears by the telephone
waiting for that confront call
yet it never came
how love is so lame

I watched this poor ******* suffer
I was the refection she could not look at
for in my eyes was the truth
the Gods honest truth

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

They stalk their prey in the long grass
eyes keen on their would be larder
crouching ready to spring
feline sisters Serengeti hardware

The sun beats down on their perfect forms
as they move into position
the hunt is on
for the Serengeti hardware

A Zebra walks unknowingly
into their line of sight
now it is marked for the ****
they leap into action the Serengeti hardware

Claws tear at ****
zebra cries in distress
a sister bites at its throat
and soon it will be dead

This is the
Serengeti Hardware

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

He rises once again
into the cool air
the lone hunter
with prey unaware

Oh wonderful creature
with plumage so bright
metallic blue on your back
and chest of brilliant white

I truly would give
my last moments of life
to fly in the big blue
and cut air like a knife

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

So old and tattered I feel
so warn out and grey
I am breathing my last breath
to the end of my days

Will I be just a hollow memory
in a world of be or not be
should I stamp my feet
that I am not complete

Would death be a friend
call me a friendly foe
would he take me
where I need to go

Maybe he will be a comfort
maybe a good fellow
so maybe I will follow him
to the darkness of night

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

After 2000 years
I am still pure as night
not allowed to save our lord
by the word of God

We those silent few
we pure as night
from us love flows
glory to my Lord

He who shines
She who shines
to the pure glory
the glory of stars

The burden of living
the wonder of faith
mark my words
as you mark me

For I am a pure as night
pure as night
pure
night

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The anguish of her loss
that was within
the pain of his birth
now was ten fold

To the flag he had flown
to a nations call
proud and dignified
yet now he did fall

Flag drapes flickering
over his oak coffin
his mother cries
with tears in her eyes

Another warrior
another child
lost in glory
another child

For the flag
for the flag
another child
of glory

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

God asks for my legions
my 24 strong
he wanted my core five
but they are me

I will not give my elite
without them I die
I and my legions follow me
yet I have no choice

God you stopped me
even my mothers life
so I lay my wings at your feet
and watch my Angels go

But I hold three back
the 1st 3rd and 5th
make pretty your discontent
but it will be without me

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Your little hands your little feet
your gummy smile
makes me complete

Your little giggles
your little wriggles
oh you are so sweet

Your little fingers
your little nails
you make me feel so proud

I love you my little little
even though you always piddle
another diaper me thinks

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Slithering at pace through grasslands looking for shelter
as the intensity of the sun beats down on this savannah
with it's darting tongue tasting the hot and arid air
serpent slender silent and full heads for it's liar.

It has been a good morning as the hunt has been fair
it has swallowed it's victims whole as it never tears
making good progress to reach it's rocky mound
midday is here this serpent should be underground.

A hurried sense of danger looms from overhead
by misfortune this serpent could well soon be dead
it sees a winged shadow drift slowly across it's path
many of his kind have fallen across this killers wrath.

The first deadly strike happens all too soon
numbness shields the pain of talons so sharp
for death has descended on this living being
as the cloak of darkness once more takes toll.


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

How slender your body
how sweet it touches the sky
how full of summers promise
how you please my eyes

Upright to heaven you spring
you beautiful thing
and how I love thee
oh how I love my tree

Your buds of glory
the call of life
of newness
new beginnings

Oh my sweet buds of may
you are my life
and with good heart
My way


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The time to look at life
to see all that is wonderful
to see the light of day
yet the beauty of night

To forgive and forget
to have love in your heart
to give a second chance
to those who fall short

To feel the light within
burn you in the glory of love
to see what is possible
with a positive me


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The hero lays his sword in defeat
by the blood of friends by his feet
he now is in shock, a shadow
a shadow of humankind

But from this, a light shines
a light of kindness not hate
he tells me to fight no more
tells me to rest in peace

He tells me it's ok to cry
he tells me it's ok to fear
and you know what....
I saw his light and kindness

No matter the war
no matter the hate
rise above it
and reach the light


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

My fragile heart is in your hands
be gentle and kind as Easter
make fast the stone
give me those 3 holy days

Make my nest in heaven
look in the eyes of light
watch as I fade
fade from sight

Spring is in my step
yet I do now fade
age is not a factor
to my demise

All I ask is for this
just one more kiss
that is all I want
Just one more Kiss


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The marble that adorned my temple
now cracks and shudders
the pillars now lean to fall
all that will be left will be rubble

Don't miss this foolish Joker
as he dances like a manic
soon he will ****** off
to be just food for crows

The frost of spring mornings
the chimes of tear drops
the mutterings of the poor
and the poor being me

If should kind circumstance
make haste to my pain
make my living a blessing
on the outland of time
then so be it

BY Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Little particles of death
these little plastic perils
everyday an unrelenting march
to coast to meet the sea

Most are your convenience holders
your shopping trolley puppies
which in the end are discarded
condemned trash for dumps there be

Watch the mountain of bags decay
turn into slurry and on their way
their unfortunate mission
to suffocate oceanic life

Our seas are becoming plastic soup
choking life in the blue
to a desolate lonely
plastic death


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

In his study he sits contemplating
activities of this case at hand
with marvellous mind and fragile heart
talks to Watson as what is planned

His deerstalker hangs wet in the hallway
his cane in the hat stand below
he smokes ******* his pipe
Watson gets his gun, they are ready to go

Adorning their coats
Mrs Hudson appears
wishing them luck
whilst holding back tears

Out of Baker Street
they hail a Hanson
to Charring Cross
to pay Moriarty a visit

How many times Holmes, Watson sighed
have you crossed swords with this villain
My Dear Watson Holmes replied
evil deeds must stop and I am willing.

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Crawling through the undergrowth
looking for a moist retreat
for safeties haven in rotten logs
away from keen eyes and birds beaks

Lumbering slowly
as metamorphosis is soon
to become a beetle
that is guided by the moon

To find a mate is it's first duty
in the short time of it's life made complete
to make plenty their kind
these wriggling grubs beneath your feet


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Each day she sings from her cage
a lonely lament of dire solitude
seven long years now, have her songs been unheard
is this how to treat this sad and forlorn bird

Sunshine filters through the paned windows
yet her cage is far, in the recess of a dark corner
she smells the blossomed air of this spring morning
wafting sweetly through the open chapel doors

Will her song ever be heard
would it be better to sing to the Moon
maybe it's tender light
would hear her plight.


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

See the splinter oak fly
two more powder monkeys fall
40 guns fire 10 and 20 pounders
ripping into their sails

Yet Nelson our captain
now fades yards away
our admired our sweet admiral
our king of the seas

Below decks you choke in smoke
the gunners mouths black as tar
the ball runners hands
are burnt to cinders

A volley of shots ring out
hit we are mid decks
yet another few fall
and Lord Nelson is dead

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

So many months we have been at sea
silent running bellow the blue
we loyal submariners
do what we have to do

Our weapon is stealth
a hawk with an eye on the ocean
a leopard of the sea
a wolf in dolphin clothing

We want to go home
there is not one here
that does not miss
there families

The engines over head
wanting destruction, our deaths
that one was close
this one we know

We know they have got us
so we look at our faded photos
as the depth charges
secure our fate

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

To the artist I love
to the voice of God
the divinity of sound
the divinity of motion

My higher being
my motion to the stars
for music if my companion
and my sweet drunken friend
is my relief

We slumber in hallways
as Van Gothy gets his ear sliced
in a ****** brawl nasty
a free for all knife fight

People wonder why Becket died
I say. … are you surprised
do you think a Poet is safe
in wicked cities we live


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I am that living number
the one called Five
it's a matter of opinion
but yes, I am still alive

Left dead to dying
an urban nightmare on legs
a warrior of God
his living number

Lets countdown to Armageddon
lets see who will pray
lets see if any care
for I am his living number


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Time and space are not my allies
as I slowly **** myself from within
letting go of the past
to let the future through

See my hands tremble
see my eyes always thinking
see the love I have
for the art of words

My sweet five year voyage
to undiscovered countries
has given me hope within
shown me the light within me

My faith rekindled
as my lord is with me
he tells me to follow him
to the gates of paradise

His smile you can always trust
so I smile back
hold out my hand
and follow him


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Seeping through placid mother Earth
the molten rocks now vent their revenge
for this is Yellowstone
at the eve of nuclear winter

The last such eruption
made cold and dark the lands
and this one, in our modern world
will foil all of mankind's plans

See the choking smoke
the Pyroclastic flows
watch the life burn
in it's heated wake

See the skies turn from blue
see the sun be covered
live the nuclear winter
which we are deemed to face

Ten years without the sun
ten years without crops
ten years of a mini ice age
starvation and death, ten years


By christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

My friend hide your tears
to see you like this breaks my heart
so let her fly away friend
make yourself a brand new start

My heart has been broken before
know friend, you can survive
so let her fly away friend
always I will stand by your side

I feel your hopeless pleas
I too was broken and forlorn
yet let her fly away friend
from darkness to a new morn

Do not rush for the sake of wanting
looking for a relief of your pain
just let her fly away friend
for love found now will be in vain

Trust in times embrace
to me my brother you are special
So let her fly away friend
your love will fill another vessel


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

She draws cold breath on this winters morn
dress of black silk and silver she adorns
one step after another tentatively forwards
into the clearing from ancient pine woods
ankle high mist dances slowly then parts
and faster now does beat her kind heart
only chapel bells chiming gently in the distance
would be so bold as to break such soft silence

This final farewell she knew would come
tried purging the thought when it began
but love lost now is truly honour gained
did she repeat in her head again and again
then from nowhere did he appear
the man she loved yet also feared
looking into the black pools of his eyes
she touched his cheek then commenced to cry.

Speaking softly kind words of comfort
would have no merit in this the saddest of times
for after this mornings magical covenant
they would of severed all that did bind.


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I dance like a lizard on hot sand
by the light of the sun I've done this before
it's like that, one minute waltz times four

Reptile be what reptilian is
on rock lazily warming in the sun
as my slow constitution has began

After midday hiding in shadows
with darting tongue, I smell my pray
by their nest I wait till the last of day

Then out they come in the cool of the night
a feast frenzy for all
yet this ***** lizard is so small

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

A chess game with Death
oh I am so pleased
I had a random pole check
you seem to never think of women

Are you scared that they give birth
is that why they scare the crap out of you
better bite down
for we are the fury

Sit back and relax
let us do Gods bidding
my slow black cloaked fellow
see how swift we do his work

Fear comes in many forms
some in goodness and light
for the beckon of trinity
now for angels do fight

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

They tried those amphibians
got their rocket ships ready
croaking if only ... gulp
we could reach heaven

The king of the frogs
lifted himself of his slimy throne
gulped and with gaggles
with spittle and slime
said to the stars so you shine
and in that moment so did time

Croaking with fury
he is called to account
all the fears of yesteryear
if only to reach heaven.

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The door opens thanks to our own
to finish the last artistic word
from an artesian in the 15th century
to be my only best friend
having no trust in human beauty
to know love will lead to disappointment

To be a broken man
pale as a lizard in the cold
liken to a painting
ready to be sold

To wish not to feel
to know an Ideal
to find a state of mind
to find the soul of mine

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

In the dugout he lays
a photo of his love, in his cold hands
rain starts to fall upon his face
yet he does not blink
poppies seem to grow around him
yet he cannot see them
for he is one of the fallen
and the rain now, angels tears

Another man lost in no mans land
another wife without her lover
another child in the dark cries
that they miss their papa
this is to know sorrow
this is to know, .... Sorrow

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Hot and humid air, brushes across your pale cheeks,
summer rain returns, from it's seasonal exile,
you lift your eyes, to the darkening skies,
the distant sound of thunder, rings within your soul.

The wind intensifies, as it caresses your hair,
this sweet downpour, on this warm summers evening is near,
with the smell of damp soil, with your deepening breath,
transfixed are you with delight, waiting for natures display of light.

Now it is upon you, in all it's might and glory,
heavy tepid droplets, start falling from the heavens,
you are enveloped in its arms, in a watery embrace,
this wondering tempest, of might, beauty and grace.

BY Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

If Jesus was next to you waving a cup
would you walk past him
maybe tell him to *******!

If he stank of ****
*** he slept in a ******
would you kiss his cheek

If he had a needle in his arm
would you phone the police
or get him a ******* doctor

Heaven comes in many forms
to most they are forgotten
but there are those that know

From the Kind to the Rotten

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Oh splendid red and golden leaves of autumn
you cling onto branches till the end of your lives
then one by one you fall to the ground
With the kiss of Octobers gentle winds.

For you are the fruits of summers burdens
as nuts and berries are your labours lost
gathered by the fauna of your forest realm
Then to fall in your millions in morning frost.

Beautiful crimson and gold tinted carpets
do you make as your last gestured farewell
then soon you will become no more
As you turn to peat on woodland floors.

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

To distance myself from you
is an impossibility
without the laws of gravity
in orbit you hold me in place

I will be your satellite of love
a glimmering in the cold night sky
I will beam in data of my undying love
enlighten your sweet soul and minds eye

My glory rest with your heart
the destiny of me lays with you
my mouth silent, yet my eyes beg
for allegiance of souls two

Let me encompass your sweet field
sow the seeds of honest love
lets make two lonely souls complete
with the glitter of stars above.

At last it's the 14th
the end of my praise of love
that little virus that builds within
that bill of insanity

To the glory of love
and the pain that comes with it
I now say goodbye
to this glorious day

Back to a bottle of Whiskey
and my ticket to outer worlds
I'm sitting in my seat
and ready to go

So I raise my glass
to the glory of love
to my Angels above
to the glory of love.

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Is this a lonely voyage
drifting clouds reddening skies
is this my event horizon
time in hand with darkening eyes

Is this song a eulogy to mankind
with the distant howls of banshees
do now the gates of hell open
to accommodate the fallen few

If love would be a forgotten word
and have no meaning in this world
would you account it's loss a misgiving
or would it in hindsight be a blessing

Can you bury love
as if a frail dead butterfly
can you hide your heart
from the focus of love
