Three New Poems by Eva Lianou Petropoulou of Greece

Three New Poems by Eva Lianou Petropoulou from Greece 

 

1. I Miss the Hug

 

I miss the hug,

A hug that they give you and you forget

The weaknesses of your existence.

I miss a kiss

The kiss that someone gives you and your stomach

Makes those noise, like full of butterflies.

 

I miss the smile

That childish smile that you have

You keep smiling and all nature becomes

Pink

 

I miss the walk to the beach,

The waves,

The perfume of the salt

I miss the sunshine and the sunset,

All the simple things that I had.

 

I miss the generosity of people

I miss the kindness of grandparents

I miss the relaxing moments of drinking a coffee

 

Now, they all want to be your friend,

Your position, your talent, your contact,

Your potential, your life almost but no one…

Nobody wants to get in your shoes,

They are too tight !!

 

2. Forgiveness

A word that is coming out from the brave heart

I am not asking to forgive as a human

I am asking to forgive as a GOD

As HE has the kindness and the generosity to see

The human’s mistake.

I am asking to forgive not as a man

But as An Angel that every day and night

Is traveling from the Earth to the sky….

I don’t need any paper

Green or blue

I saw your heart

You had it there in front of me…

I understand that silence,

That silver silence

I am damned in the sky and the earth…

I am just a soul traveling alone..

Seeking for forgiveness.

 

3. Good Night Poem

 

What a caterpillar may call the end

A butterfly calls it the beginning of a beautiful journey…

 

The stars are so far, but we can see the lights

And feel their heat

 

As I am thinking of you

Days and nights are together

 

No distance

Only sun

Only Moon

 

And for once they are together

In this beautiful sky

 

Thinking of you

The days

 

Think about you

My heart

My body

My soul

Wakes up

And

Dances in circles

 

Imagine you are here

Imagine you are close to me

 

Imagine our life starts

This is my wish

My prayer

 

As you are my hope

My inspiration

In those long years of loneliness…
