Eyes play tricksLike a typical cowboy scene
Words a retreat
Youth and old age
Are edges from peak to peak
A Constant Meow
Drying Figs Astimenia Kalymnos, Greece
Like a constant meow
of a newborn orphaned kitten
to its mother
Heard and unnoticed
A hum in the air
A heart beat once lived there
A life, a breath, a thought
A character to uphold
A living being, abandoned
When it grew old
A House, Like A Sacred Keepsake Box
Telendos, Greece
A living, breathing organism
Like a sacred keep sake box
Contains my secret thoughts
Visits to the poor ole soul
Builds the character of a home
Arrivals and departures in tears
Questions to explore
Over the passing years
Re-inventing sentimental riches
The history four walls keep
Through a castle images seep
A face of preserved forms
Surviving tradition & social norms
Allowing oxygen inside
Nurturing sequential breaths
Fill your house with beauty
& nature’s gifts
Keep it inspired with qualities that
Ignite
It is how interiors are kept
Alight
A Love, A Home, Far Away
Kalymnos, Greece
A Love, A home, Far Away
Abandoned houses
Like empty souls
A castle
Grand and white
Above on the highest
Mountain top
In between
Like an infamous acropolis
With historical flare
And a dispositioned
Love affair
From afar his attention spanned
Greece his rightful land
A life in Australia,
Germany or USA
Only to return to his
Origins
And feel a world away.
How To Find A Shooting Star
Kalymnos, Greece
Stars that govern the night
Span the sky with abundant light
Some are bright, some dimmer
The brightest are not always bigger
Secrets they hold provoke wonder and hope
Could they ever agree?
The dimmer not always further from me
Among the illusion and confusion
Keep your eye on that one star
Follow it through the maze
Keep your interest
Nurture it
And focus your gaze
Study it and before you realize
Time will pass enough
To eventuate a sweet surprise
A faint, quick, sharp
Tear in the sky
Keep it in your thoughts
And make it yours
Miles On Foot
The path of Profit Ilias, Kalymnos
With miles on foot
to school and back
Appreciation
Stemmed from that
The battle between
The generation gap
Life long learners
because of that
Timeless wisdom
Reawakens the dream
Framed treasures
Never to be seen
Unconditional love
