Persephone
Persephone
Idea aborning in steps of deception,
becomes an aeromancy in free ether,
her airy amble chastens perception,
my image flies amid stratus to dither;
My life flies above landscapes empty;
Sorts out and recreates our embrace;
our Sun died, burden westward hefty;
and she, like twilight joined me, in lace;
Zephyr is blowing, subdued and unfit;
so, I welcome our solitude's amount;
a lone-spirited sentence of life, to emit,
our Idea lightless, of marginal bound;
Zephyr is blowing through our soul;
deception of a smile, glowering nifty;
her playful ample advances to extoll;

The mast hangs fore
The mast hangs fore, so we bear with the land,
searching a birth; I check at the the binnacle,
and boards her up; Ease the helm, bear up-cond,
Pervasive Euclidean theorems, and the pentacle.
Voices echo from the land, in acerbic acrimony,
Angels' hymns soothing sound to slowly sharpen
biting vibes in the gusts consented disharmony,
respectfully strike the Flag, Hail to mishappen.
Accented voices, still so pleasant, effectual;
Comely draw in foggy forms, eerie on distance,
invulnerable were we, to bewitched end unequal;
threatening darkness favored fog's outdistance;
Airy she fares, inside the gust, devilish wind,
to eliminate my vacancy, so I fear, to be alive,
maybe she will vanish, aphotic dame in dark lint,
in roads adept, without her dusky aura connive!

Catafraktos - Byzantine Knight
Anywhere under the sky, will be buried, a man,
ringing the bells to her Holiness, convent nuns
it would be an act of impiety, enslaved to live,
in a world of memories, to recall and strive..
Heavenly echo of a prelude Maria's smile benign,
his past of bitter shadows - dim hope to decline
in a cadaverous of dusk, slow the Nyx will reign
betrothal feast died in him, despite his deign.
He never dies; absurd the darkened call of winds
to stream a flow of relentlessness his life's bids
bestow, drops of useless red, his flow lingers,
by sword men only lived, and wounds' stingers.
Billeting Area on the Wall, Queen-Omnipotence
as Barbaric hordes attack her sacred Omniscience,
a Catafraktos, noblest of fighters, in manly duty,
offering his sword, to defend her solemnized beauty.

Geronimo.. I Heard the Moon..
One-dimensional route,
a paratrooper sight,
of the 1st battalion,
501 parachute Infantry Regimen
serving for being a soul of a manly cause,
sentry at night
a code that never reached me,
guard, twelve to three AM...
Shadows my companions,
and an owl's cry, while sprites
become familiar, senses subside,
illusions, a snake's rattle
yesterday I saw my partner's burial,
and I nod my head
sideways, try to see the scene,
in perspective, was it a battle?
He left.. Where cherubs (they say) ,
wait for souls, I smile, aren't they dead?

Ascetic Man
Ascetic man awaits for me, in granite crags
his narrow cave, and bellicose to askance,
I enter; am I deceived from his aquiline nose?
odor of earth as he 's besmeared by crows.
A Holy man in front of me, starts to berate,
and laughs! Birds sing a mountain aubade,
Indigenous, gray crags, with an autocrat,
a radiative beneficence, from an autodidact,
ember-eyes, flames to denounce and enact.
My soul 's confused and binded; an uproar,
betimes I feel this is, angel and a spool, I soar,
the old one smiles; a lighthearted wild grin,
avuncular's benevolence and incense therein.
Amid in the dim air he suspends; Corybantic,
he sparkles, scintillates, emits flashes frantic,
his counter-transference; avidly his gnome,
'Are you Nymphed? Nymphs are box-comb'

Efhi (Greek poem)
ΕΥΧΗ
Πόσες στεριές μ' ένα σκοπό γυρίσαμε μαζί,
Αιώνια ταξιδεύοντας - στιγμές του αποσπερίτη,
Τόσα σημάδια από στιγμές σε κύκλους και σιωπή,
Πορεία με το νοητό που μούδωσες διαβήτη,
(τόσο μακρυά και απρόσμενη στου ονείρου τη γιορτή) .
Καλό τιμόνι να κρατάς σε ρότα αληθινή,
Θυμάσαι; Σε περίμενα - αυλή Πολυτεχνείου,
Καλό τιμόνι σταθερό στου ανέμου τη βροχή,
Ευχή που απλώνεται παντού σα συντροφιά του κρύου,
(Κρυφή πυξίδα νοητή - ανείπωτη ευχή) .
Ιδανική, Ανάλλοιωτη σε κράτησα κι Αγνή,
Τη σκέψη σου για φυλαχτό χτίζοντας τις σιωπές,
που απλώνονταν ολόγυρα και γέμιζ' η ζωή,
Μονάκριβη ολομόναχη στων άστρων τις τροχιές,
(Μονάχη συντροφιά εσύ σχεδόν αληθινή) .

Escargot
An escargot was pacing within a pasture,
amid greens and weeds, flowers and bees,
and was whistling happily in agriculture,
his best allegro song, 'fiu fi-fiu fiu fiii'.
The snail was happy! Bees were humming,
and above, a bright Sun, crowned its shell,
with little morning dew drops, drumming,
tip tip; Like an ocean wide, was the well!
Pacing he whistled, feathered and bonnie,
aesthetic, pleasantly apt was his sound,
nodding to birds in foliage who were lonely,
fi-u fi-fiu fi-u fii, with clover abound.
And happily the escargot nicely smiled,
to all creatures with poetic glimmering,
with a cuckoo radiantly to coo-coo mild,
he pi-ki pi-ki, reputed scripts genuine!

Echidna
Eternal entities claim my time's burden,
as all our expectations return in Chaos,
a cause to sleep among Gaia's children,
monsters born eons ago, along with Eos.
Echidna-Adder; beautiful Gaia's daughter,
and Uranus; facial countenance of a deity,
and in a moment of admittance, serpent,
a deathly coil around your defense alterity.
Echidna will provoke and surrender venom,
in worlds, where her beauty is fantasized,
to reach her dark hidden aptitude phenom,
to taste her hedonism charisma edenized.
Echidna stares; to magnetize a hero's soul,
and dance; a perfect reward for prowess,
effused your life is in a cadaverous call,
softly in your stare she will devotedly hiss.

Eighth of May
Of windy spaces ancestry, form resurrected
in colors of that prime spring, response kind to me
because of me, adoring feast, befell, you felt it
of islands shore foam whiffs, Olympian offspring.
First I was, a celebration visitor, my vows redeemed
glances that searched for you, of our oceans offer
I stayed there, crowned of hymns, blue roses breed
as you descended, of dreams wind, another present.
A distribution of windy forms, upon my souls nod
a visitor of solitude, deities, Eighth of May reign
to be a companion of dew drops, of mornings mode
to see you as my falling drops, of a colossal rain.
Rain drops convene for me, embrace this proposal
your hands upon your facial, for me they wander,
when you recall all of this dusk, our line coastal
for every May of the eighths, your staring to offer.

V Alloy Hollers
A rider on far route, reckless, consents,
to bolt down a pain of his life's gambling
to castigate his former self, and to extent,
his forcefulness silvery, morose rambling.
Fast shadow, tears the darkness to enter
another night; deathly destiny 's a scythe
outright he becomes his sins' repenter,
speeding on fatalistic heftiness to writhe.
A thousand cubic ways to be inviolable
unlighted sister Stygian, on solid torque,
a miss is partial to weak, a warrior to fable,
upon a slope of Winter ice, on Devil's fork.
One hundred forty power, solid to climb,
the mountain' icy slope, virile and brave,
noticeable by fog's Amadryads, and thyme,
estimable Nymphs amidst the oaks, wave.
