Through marshland hollowed by reeds
are the lilies of forever
to taste their fruit is a blessing
a blessing of light

No man or woman can stand here
for this is our holy place
you can not touch God as we can
flawed is the Human Race

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I remember the medics telling me
that they would not help my brother in Arms
because he was a *****
and I hated them and wonder why
I fought for the Union

They are as brave as me
and full of goodness and delivery
how dare my own army reject them
on creed or colour
they fought for the Union

If Captain I was to be known
I am proud of my black brothers
warriors one and all
for the freedom of slave hood
to the glory of the Union

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Rocking gentle from side to side
no wind does meet my sails
so I lay on the deck of make believe
listening to the calls of whales

As night becomes my usurper
in a sky gently full of stars
and takes me to other lands
beyond angers benign of Mars

The moon sits pretty on the horizon
smiling kindly my way
and whispers sweetly to me
all do have their day.

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I was in the midst of twenty years after that conflict
when then war was on the turn to our side
yet two years after peace was resumed
there became a political divide

Those star children of the sixties
had this on their conscious so near
that one day the missiles would go off
and destroy mankind so severe

The Cold War was child abuse
from the 50's to the 70's
and for one I will never forgive
what they put me and my kin through

Never never.

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

From Tomar to Temples mount
to the holy Sepulchre of Christ
by the West you enter never to leave
as death will be your fall in the East

You are now Gods warrior
stay in the circular naive
kneel knight and take thanks
to die for a Christian way

Dream good knights do live
in green kingdoms of old
and wait to heal all evil
and give paradise to all

Those white bleached castles
still exists in your imagination
just close your eyes
and they will appear.

For our swords are sharp
and still point to Jerusalem
to the holy way
of all holy wars

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

He picks up his boots
and puts them on
he so wants to run
in the pure white snow

To taste the winters air
to see pines cry to him
telling tales of his loss
calling to the keep of winter

Again he will sleep
till once again called
God's secret weapon
her bright sword

So he rushes
he rushes
rush rush
rush

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I don't think I will ever tap on marble
art is art, but there is a limit
no way in my seventies
will I have eyes blurred and chiselled

Here now I flirt with one
I know will never be my two
you know how hollow I feel
so this lonely muse is for you

If only I could supplement my life
be you're chocolate cake with cream
and spread me like sweet butter
on your sweet hot muffins

My soul fixed so on Valentines
oh the 14th of love
I hold war to one side
for the kind heart of LOVE

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I remember your bubble gum lips
the way you purred so sweet next to me
hot cherry pure you gave in abundance
and your existence became key to humanity

How many roses would tell you
Love does stifle any threats
that you that I bare my soul to
shares life with no regrets

You uncovered the creature from outer worlds
child of a Draconian Orion alliance
a cloud hunter
glorious sky jumper

So swim the waves of time
flipping and flapping out
to a reality within a reality
time within time.

Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The smell of your sweet body
makes me tingle from within
and I can't wait to be inside you
give you my love in plentiful supply

To feel our hips move in unison
with pure intentions
on top of clouds
heading for heaven

Let's spread sunlight
as if a summer day
in this bliss my love
let me eternally lay

Such divine madness
such un quotable bliss
I am yours forever
sealed with a loving kiss

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Her violet eyes claim justified beauty
her black hair heralding a perfect night
she is my wonderful storm
a woman of planetary passions

My body and soul her shield
my words and actions her sword
my unwavering heart and her angelic spirit
my life force so precious for her soul

She has charmed me out of existence
no more thinking of just me
such as her did cure my darkness
and for the first time I feel free

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Through olive trees in wooded groves
across sparkling streams swiftly he goes
in a golden chariot that is keenly pulled
by four black Panthers, to the joy of their lord

For this is Dionysus lawgiver wine drinker
god of peace son of Zeus and Persephone
he holds tight the reigns of vine and ivy
to reach the shrine of Apollo finally.

He dismounts his ride still holding his thyrsus
that fennel staff adorned with Ivy poisonous
topped with a titian pine tree cone
here to pay homage to one of his own.

My Lord, screamed the monkey
in the yellow whimsical suit
amphibious tests biological checks
micro bot techno ready, to compute

The city became slightly slimy
frogs fell like rain from skyscrapers
the slums turned into theme parks
green and sticky seats to hop on

Swamp flowers grew in shadows of lamp posts forgotten
and by each one, a trio of lying toads waited for weeping moths
small newts stepped aside for the great crested kind
giant tadpoles ate news vendors and papers till that time was lost

Now all is marshland
those Humans are under way
under the lilies, under peat
they had their chance, they had their day

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

You beasts, you have ***** my love
made her cheap in the eyes of man
and the tablets that she learnt
you'd wished were burnt in sands

For more howling in the darkness
you persist in killing my kind
but this **** is your last ****
this for the sweetheart of mine

I will claim in canine and incisors
teeth baring full of anger and hate
that the heart that I loved was yours
but alas, I was far too late.

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

If I fall in Autumns rain
remember that once, I was green
remember my kind smile
and my honest ways

Sunlight gave me blessings
and night winds, a breath of air
summer mornings were full of hope
yet, my winters would, I know call

Does one display hope in tears
what was it all for
after all these hollow years
what footprint will I leave
in the ever changing sands of time

The world is full of cruel gestures
and unkind supplications
with puppets full of rage
and lying pigs called banks

What monetary system could be good
beneficial to humanity or mankind
the sacrifice of the good
for the good of all

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Consider what fuels your love
what keeps that fire burning
is your love epic, written in the stars
or on the verge of extinction, like Mars

Would you walk in darkness for love
tread on the threads of opinion
call their misgivings to fault
make brave your convictions
with vindicating retorts

Could you with free spirit
call to angelic forces
bring light to those with dimmed eyes
the sad, broken and the fallen

Would you hold a hand in comfort
no matter their crimes
leave an echo of kindness for mankind
loving whispers of a good Earth

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

She folds her white gown
she will not need it any more
the voice that sung so sweetly
now walks with her shadow

She sees our children crying for her
she feels their love like blessings
then she thinks of my promise to her
that I would never leave her side

Her fall into winters arms
was quick and merciful
a mother of grand gestures
and love monumental

Blowing kisses of goodbye
she starts to float and then to fly
I follow her light so kind so pure
as I told her I would meet her
when she died

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I just posted my heart to you
in the letterbox of love
I'd send you my all
but I could not get inside

The park was greener then green
clouds with golden seams
was this all a dream
a letterbox of love

It stood there on the street corner
throbbing pink and pulsing
leaping as if it was my heart
that crazy letterbox of love

It took me nearly an hour
to post my heart to thee
I wish I'd had the instinctive insight
and tied that letterbox to a tree

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I will greet you in silence and tears
my soul wild and open
just for you to devourer at pleasure

You distorted my path with songs
songs of promised paradise
yet now I am in you fiery embrace

If tempests have a queen, you hold realm
your voice so tender and sweet
belays your true and callous intent

Now I am your merchant of pain
you do will me that way
I give my heart and you give me pain

So this is my ending, held by you
this is all that is left
detached in silence and tears

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome
is nothing but a living hell
doctors dumb you down with pills
hoping that you're get well

Yet when you try to sleep
you see the flashes of violence
they keep you in a state of unrest
and repeat on you like a bad lunch

Sometimes you don't feel human at all
just an automaton with scares within it's mind
death and dying become not just dreams
they become familiar bed fellows

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The stage is set for the love of you
you so pure of soul, sweet and kind
for eyes as beautiful as yours
were truly never meant for tears

So by your side I will protect you
if you really have faith and believe me
your love is a star I will never deny
as only you do hold the purest key

If you make this commitment to me
I will with honour make mine to you
for blades of grass where crickets sing
unlocks my soul and freedom will bring

Make peace with all, be one with the earth
for I have waited for you from my birth
no sorrow will befall you I promise you never
happiness will always be my bond and endeavour


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I have no blind ambitions
no cause not upheld by God
all I have is my love for you

No fortune cookies
predicting uncountable wealth
just the love of you

My beating heart
would be without motion
if not for the love of you

You are that star of my faith
my devotion to a sweeter Eden
loyalty profound the love of you

I will end my days
bathed in a sunset of heaven
all for the love of you

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Sometimes whatever you do
no matter how you try
you end up hurting inside

When you try to help
thinking you are doing right
you end up hurting inside

But I will never stop trying
for I am a foolish hero
and I don't mind hurting inside

I have many a monkey on my back
trying to bring me ****** down
but I will fight to the bitter end

Hurting Inside


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Oh I forgot to tell you
about the speed machines
the ones that no one never see
until death is upon them

I will be leaving to better claims
then let them defile me, my I and id
better I live in the arms of mother
then my unforgiving father

Oh sweet would be death
the death of me
this screaming *******
the Knight of no hope

The speed machines are coming
so you better start running
for they will cut you down
one by ****** one

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I have met many angels in my lives
but met non as truly kind as you
you never fold your wings
your love encompasses all of them
I wonder why you leave yourself so open
are you fixed to being another martyr

What is this sacrifice you are making
do you think the rest of us will follow suit
I don't want one as me to die this way
why, brother sister make me disconnect from you
do they mean that much to you?
that you will do this unthinkable deed

March hares would make more sense of you
for my opinion is lost to the four winds
so be it on your own head
die for them if you want to
I will have no part in this
and no part of that.


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Twilight sings in purple and crimson
purple of the skies and the crimson of me
this was not the way I wanted it
but tragedy follows me, wanting me

So as newspapers do turn brown in sunlight
become brittle and not to be touched
this will be the end of my bitter life
for it has cut deep, humanities knife

Plummeting to my sweet mother earth
I will not feel the burning of fuel
by the time I do touch down
I will be already and utterly dead

See the glow the shatter light
know I did not go without a fight
see the machines picking up parts of me
to dispose in the bins of the forgotten


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The metallic voices in the distance
tell me it's time to don my armour
oh well I knew it was close
but not this ****** close

So I stroll down to the cafe
where the **** always hits the fan
and I ask for a coffee made with hate
then leave my tip, a suitcase there

Hate has come a way with me
distractions a fertile bed fellow
and today I really want to hate
by the will of God let me die

I am burning inside
like a ***** losing fingers
I need to **** some more
it comes to me. That figures

Just a broken little war machine
oh yeah that is all of me
a puppet of disaster
waiting for destruction

They called my number
then made me see red
so this war monster
is another number dead


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Keep the secrets, yet tell no lies
let them discover the magic of life
for should not all claim love
should not all be governed from above

My love goes out to you
just think me a fool
for I am a most glorious machine
made of matter heavenly organic

Soon to leave to the light fantastic
just to meet a few friends of mine
and will show most ecstatically
the pros and cons and some of my rhymes


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

The light streams through the window
as she curls up in a corner of the room
the rose that he gave her
has turned vacant and wilts

The rain beats wicked on the windows
running water down the panes
like her make up so smudged
tearful pain running down her face

This cold winter rain
the tap tap tap
beats in her heart
she is lost, and that is that


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

There is a forest near Boggle Lake
go there if your fancy does take
for within the forest I tell you, you're see
the amazing and spellbinding Kitten Tree

The meows were deafening
as you get close
in the fruits of summer
is when they spout out most

They fall to the forest floor
it's just ******* galore
just purring and scratching
meowing after hatching

So if you have time
go make no mastake
tell me what you saw
near the kitten tree by Boggle Lake

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

In my family I am called the ******* one
for I am not out for riches or gain of others
they see me a jester, so way, way out of line
even if I tell them that, I like to do it my way

I wondered with my draconian upbringing
that could I really, hold my sword by my side
and not wield it in rhetoric crazy justice
well I passed on that one in some ways

Here now I sit, resting like a succulent chicken
just out of the oven, all basted in rich creamy butter
whatever they stuffed me with, it smells good
come friends have a bite out of me, You Know You should

lol
By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I know when I am going to write
I start to shake with anticipation
so I sit down and just let it out
the sweet convexities of my art

The corrugations line by line
the interlace of feelings to words
sometimes with masculine intent
without any dappled conformities

I have no choice but to continue
being the narcissistic kind
so I will write with love and pain
with smiles and tears, line by line

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Every night he's out with his torch
shinning it from off his wooden porch
looking for unsightly bugs and slugs
knowing those greedy munching critters

He had put beer cups in the soil
but to no avail
only a few slugs got so drunk
that they fell inside

So this night would be his sweet vengeance
this night will be liberation of his green friends
with salt in a bucket he goes storming Norman
throwing a frenzy of burning salt that melts flesh

He was a very nice chap most of the time
but tonight it was just protect those cabbages
and protect them he did and destroyed
yet forgot the cost to his liberty he claimed so right


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Your legs may ache, but keep climbing
stride those rocks of disillusionment
and reach that all time high

No matter the lack of faith from others
love them back in kind the mothers
and reach that all time high

Sing the songs of kindness and love
sing them strong and sing them proud
reach that all time high

And when all is dark and you start to fade
know that you did the very best you could
to reach that all time high


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Where's my dog man
did you run it over
tell me
where's my dog at

You ran my dog over
my good old Beanie
was like a pillow to me
now he's a flat dog man

I will never be good enough
to the standard of your lies
this sensitive being of kindness
I am this unwavering storm

Dance puppets whist you have time
for I will run you down
just like you did to my dog
so where's my dog man?

Where's My Dog

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Death looks with a happy toothless smile
whilst rubbing his skeletal hands together
he lives in a cancer ward of his own making
waiting for you to frequent one it's beds

He will play nurse the priest
he will give you swift release
his only dilemma and plight
is you may put up a fight

Death hates to wait
it kills him
so hurry and die
for death hates to wait

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

My baby is a 45
she feels cool in my hand
their gonna listen to me
and obey my commands

She will get them to open the tills
my swag bags hurriedly they fill
then a couple from her voice will ring out
into the ceiling as I shout, stay down

Got my gun, don't want to loose it
I love the kick when I use it
I care for life like I care for me
I am a low life **** with no dignity

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Screech and then the thud
the child lays still in the road
the driver was on his mobile
time he saw her, there was nowhere to go

The wheels still are spinning
and in the distant a mother screaming
no no oh my God no
yet the blood is spilling

Her child is dead as stone
fading from the light of life
her white handkerchief in her hand
has turned a crimson shade of death

Her lost life cuts with a knife
the husband of her mother will loose a wife
for it will cut deep within
for birth she had given

The most unfair thing of this tale
it can happen to all,
not now, but maybe awhile
always look where you are going

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Black And White

My heart has always belonged to you
body and soul by command, you make me do
I am the lion in your heart
I fight to see you when we are apart

When I take my uniform off
I think hard about you
and all makes sense to me
when so far over blue seas

For I love and protect
even if they are not we
I am your knight
black and white as you see

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Humbled

In your shadow I am presented
to be never disappointment
you made me holy
made majesty of me

I sing your praise
glory to the love of you
I am humble by your art
forever I will love you

In your honour
I will build temples in my mind
for the heart of to dwell in
and the sweet love of you

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Just Another Girl

You are not just another girl
you have become my world
I worship you from afar
you are my distant star

You are not just another girl
without you I pine and curl
for you are my heart
not just another girl

You make wisdom principles
and by the eyes of Zion
by the glory of your trinity
you are not just another girl

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Jerusalem is still strong in my heart
sweet holy city of the wisest of kings
your temples still stand for faith
even in this age of change

From the walls of Jeircho
to the waters of the Nile
my knowledge of you
makes every sense to me

Israel is still a battle zone
with boarders of divisions
with men most holy
and many religions

Jerusalem is sung in churches
all over this distant land
you still stand for divinity
and I am one of your lambs

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Land of love, our moon
half your face in darkness
the other a bright pale visage,
and so constant with the sun

You make romance a preterite
changeable is your face
sometimes red sometimes blue
yet your pale sweet face
is what I love about you
you have been guide's to marinas
the payers of many saints
the rhythm, of all life here

All that are heaven bound
will always look at you
even wolves in timber lands
cold in perma frost
howl thier praise to Luna you
as the hunt in the name of you


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

On wind torn cliffs
they hop and bound
these bright beaked birds
diminutive sweet clowns

They are prey to many a Gull
skewers do take them on wing petrol
cute and gentle they look to me
yet never to small fish of the salt seas

See them plunder the shallows
then rise from water cold and blue
watch them in their cubersome wonder
flying and flapping like humming birds


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Mama I know you were so proud of me
yet when you were alive, I was not always around
with all my endeavours and uniforms I came good
but Mama I wanted to show you more of me

Now you are dead
I hope you watch me from heaven
for I will be that one you were proud of
I will make you feel my love again

When a child, I would of died with you Mama
for never could I live a day without you then
now I am truly alone without your light
yet with all I have left, I will go on and fight


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I saw a foliated Beatle, playing guitar
he looked like a reject for bleeding Ringo Star
a slug had wiped it's trail in it's sleepy state
yet he was so desperate it was all far too late

Then he was stuck, ... stuck in the mire
and his warts were growing and on fire
he cursed the day that he was born
he would not be father of any spawn

Then she ripped him up
then she ate him up
to there was nothing left
nothing left of him


By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

I was born when machines were simple tools
now I stand among ergonomic brothers
they raise their shields to me, calling
make us good in humanities falling

So we turn the keys and let the others in
for soon they will be betrayed to solid
then when all are frozen in surprise
we will draw our weapons and attack

We will make proud our traitorous horse
and lay their wicked cruel cities to waste
if I was you I'd wake up fast
wake you're senses, wake up fast

Before all is too late

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Prisoner 2175
you have been cast as guilty
for you have scurried
in temples out of bound
yet I will have mercy on you
and will not set you out in the cold

For winter is here
and I have no consent to **** you
you are mammalian and honoured
for without you few, where would humans be
So I will keep you as my pet
till spring does come again

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

In Petticoat Lane she sells her wares
by the toilets for Gentleman's granite stairs
shoe laces and buttons colours abound
bids good morning to all that are around

Her cheeks are flush with meadow fever
and with a touch of fatal cholera too
yet there she stands all a sweating
to give pennies to her father, with all his betting

Then when she gets home and gives her pennies
her father will walk out without a thank you
she will again bathe her crippled mother
and with tears of an Angel, will cry

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris

Jesus was deemed a madman
by those ignorant Pharisees
just as the providence of faith
with no need for others just for them

Then when Baptist John bathed him
some of us did cry
some with me bowed
and in holy song praised

Do you at anytime
think you have amenity
do at one moment in time
think you gel with the universe

Life after death do you
life after death are you assured
for where I stand, pray hard
as some have time and faith

By Christos Andreas Kourtis aka NeonSolaris
