TYSVM Eftichia Kapardeli for your poem, PAINT. LUISE.

PAINT

I paint large
trees
excess Beauty
my eyes
live noble people ....
... .No Has it
had enough yet
feelings, links
become blossoms
***
Thirsty earth for love
and that
Ancient song
...... Fills the ears and soul
***
In sweet Homeland
desires and hopes
collecting lovers
roots braided tightly
embraced ... .. !!!!!!!

TYSVM Eftichia Kapardeli for you poem, Red crops. LUISE.

Red crops

Before I was born in the vast material ... ..
isolated
without touch

In the dark
grew up
the crowd, listing in
sacrifice the roar
Travelled emaciated
from hunger and
torture
solid walls
to marble my wings
shivers in horror

Silently bodies around me
drift, slide
inappropriately to unequal
balances in limbo
denatured

Red crops of the Sun
which watered with
excess blood friends
and buried roots ....
cries muffled
heard every night
pierce the veins, air
metamorphose
Fire water
They do not die

TYSVM Eftichia Kapardeli for your poem, Sweet Distillate. LUISE.

SWEET DISTILLATE

The years of youth
I lived all alone
in those landscapes
filled with secret Sun
eyelids
Matched with lilies
Virgin
and the wind of freedom
Message, mark the cool
lips joy
***
Swans with their wings
they covered the white
lilacs
the bent truths
I met dreams a bunch
light
in newborn foliage
life
