I want to forget
That you even existed,
But know what I learned.
Dreams taunt me at night,
Attacking my mind in hordes,
And I wake tattered.
What does it mean when I run?
And when with good I wrestle?
I haven't seen you in awhile my dear
And now there's something I've come to fear
That I don't remember the smell of your hair
But at least I'd recognize that smile anywhere
And I might not remember the taste of your lips
But I still want my arms around your hips
But your laugh, now that is unforgettable
And every moment we're together, is un-regrettable
Oh I miss you with every fibre of my being
And I'm jealous of those friends, whom you keep on seeing.
A poet in love
Is a match soaked
In gasoline.

πέρασαν όντως τέσσερα χρόνια
μα αυτό το "λίγο" ακόμη με ζαλίζει
με θυμώνει.

Ήταν τόσο λίγο τόσο ψέμα.
κι όμως υπήρχε
για τόσο λίγο.

Πες τους ότι ο έρωτας είναι ανέλπιστο πράγμα
-δεν μπορώ
Ούτε μια ματιά δεν μου έριξες
-κανείς δεν είδε ποτέ στα αλήθεια με τα μάτια

συλλογή από λέξεις που δεν είπα ποτέ :
βραδιές
ματιές
χείλια
φιλιά
πάρτυ
κλεφτές
ψέμα
ζωντανή
αίμα
καρ­διά
χτύποι
αγόρι
αργά
έρωτας
χωρίς
τέλος

ότι θες εσύ
δεν ξέρω αν μου τηλεφώνησες
κι όμως πιστεύω ήσουν εσύ

Your face

is the portrait

I would paint

if I was blessed

with the gift

of artistry.
She once loved a poet
A couple lifetimes ago,
In a time where the rhyme
Kept her in the flow.

And to the enchanting poet,
The rose didn't smell as sweet
As his first glances at her;
The seraphs couldn't compete.

He was the poem written on her heart,
The love only found in dreams.
She was bound and determined to have him
By any ways and means.

As fate would have it, they had each other.
Their love intensified by his magic,
His use of word and rhyme,
Slowly turned from romantic to tragic.

Because there is nothing magical about love,
It's really a matter of the heart.
Just because you can write on love
It doesn't mean that's who you are.
