THURSDAY
stolen soul fragments
grapes and figs
seaweed beds and sails
linear secrets snake skins
dressed you with silver and lace
stolen touch opium of lovers
dream-light eyes moon-shadow smiles
erotic ecstasy in the golden isles
i slept with you in velvet grass
and love was born forever then
TUESDAY
the sea is calm now dressed in green full of leaves like aqua flowers
coming out to the south beach mixed with foam and trash
the northeast wind escapes from the less luminous mountaintops
spinning the dry sand spraying the meadows waiting , bathing in the moment of light
the monks are coming out of the sky monastery with less worship for the forbidden tourist
to do some fishing and pray for a sea mist or rain that will come as a blessing in the fall
the sea museum man will watch television all night talking to his dog
the retired captain will give us the daily weather stats
the fall bloodless sky will gather all the ghosts in the hills.
earth and stars are waiting for full darkness….. spinning away a greater silence
FRIDAY
o Muse
o muse sometimes you enter my mind like a serpent
with your eyes rapped in your veil of illusion
you torture me with your gnostic mysteries of feeling in the world of dreams
there you appear in my soul divine ,naked, pure hellenic goddess
I follow you powerless in deserted monasteries of logos
in hidden places of the heart in secret prisons of acoustic harmony
a slave of your poetic passion a student of the object of desire
come tonight again and open the door of my loneliness
o muse sometimes you enter my mind like a serpent
THURSDAY
being
She arrived at the end of her dream space lost in the staircase of her mind with her eyes closed yet able to visualize the shadows drifting
closer to the first explosion of light that was becoming amorphous a river of wind not
visible but felt in her face.She had being brain alive though half asleep as she started this polysyllabic inner song that resembled a
sonic echo from the world of hypnotic state So she laid paralyzed unable to react to her kinetic thoughts.
Suddenly the sun-rays found the window cracks and came in the room tete a tete with the mirror.She awoke terrified to this double exposure of image not aware that it was her
ikon her real reflection.
Patmos island sorrow
Dreaming in southern Patmos holy island
In the hidden shoreline daydreaming of springtime
daisies seaweed and cyclamens fly in my mind
life will surrender to the light of dawn
goddess the sea with long curve photons
I dream of lips of skin of touch of Alexandrian hands
art I have not to be a slave of passion play
in daisies beds the beauty laid
with my poverty of poetry that that labored nights and days
in love lost in communion of wine
labyrinth moonshine of desire
Summer wind summer dreams die in mire ,all things must end
I never found her again
TUESDAY
Aphrodite of Milo
Do not speak of old loves in the sand of time
I went away to find love and got to loose my mind
All your snake roads of your body takes me south
your silky skin light inside my heart
torch in my black nights
I want to find you again sitting in a windy top of the tempest hill
like black Aphrodite of Milo dressed in blue
or inside the the mind of a drunk butterfly
climbing like an angel the stairs of eternity playing harps notes
dancing around the blue clock
I want to find you again. a bedouin girl in the sand of time

aegean rose fields
this gentle breeze in the rose-fields
falls in love with the sea ,plays wind songs while the waves with ocean lights star lights facing the azure come to earth to embrace her wounds
At night I am going inside the heart of the island, and feel the barren hills
I walk with the monks in the monastery of the mind where the souls seek the fisherman
here all my childhood dreams were stolen by the crossers the demons and the vagabonds
the velocity of time is the narcotic power of the mind
is the opium of the night that will bring tears in my eyes
one life was lost so one moment eternal would be gain
and as the vision of the isle faints
this gentle breeze the only solace remains
I am still the seagull boy- man to migrate
SUNDAY
A sailor”s wife
in the dusk of a narrow island street
passing the straits of silence into the valley of memory
suddenly she was there, right there.
I tried to run in vein like a deer in danger
the eyes suspended jasmine and rose smiles
Many years I did not see her
tired now from the skin of old loves and
ruby lips of dry desire.
I never had a dream of her or our time
the pleasure of loneliness belongs to past lovers
returning to the places of my heart blinded my mind
shadows of motion became a cry , wind the circular sky.
gazing off the ocean I feel all alone
the souls emerge and climb the hills
leaving last sailors behind
like music like a night that dies

virtual homelands
——————————————-
the painter aqua god disguised as the art hand of love
the sun lover deprived of sand and blood reflections of chance
and circumstance created the dragons tongue
erotic waves the tempest wrath the seekers dove
the pigeons gossip the silences mock
and gondoliers river sad Gipsies for all seasons
the sea aroma will make you drunk
you dream of staircases into your minds shafts
the blonde woman will turn with your whispers charm
