THE PUPIL

Tammam Azzam - Syrian Artist
Back to School

Yes, yes, you are a shadow of a kid

Yes, yes, you learn how to get killed

Yes, yes, you are the weapon we need

Yes, yes, you are the prey us to feed

Yes, yes, innocence banned by our greed

CLOUDY MOON'S HAIKU

Wondrous scant moon

Amid dark skies' clouds playing

Hide and seek like you

ΚΑΤ ΣΕΝΡΙΟΥ

Κατ, ομορφιά μου!

Μου πήρες το κεφάλι

Χαρά της ζωής μου!

(Σενριού=Αστείο ποιηματάκι στα ιαπωνικά)

ABOUT GOD

Sometimes I want

To talk about God

God as I had been taught he is

God as I learned to worship

But I do not find it right!

My dogmas are my beliefs 

My beliefs stand on my spiritual experiences

I have no right to impose them to none

God does not need any proselyted

God reveals Himself to everyone of us through experience

Perhaps my personality and my lifestyle

Could say more about my God than me

Perhaps the only thing we could all accept about God

Is that He is above all Love and Justice

So whoever doesn't believe He exists 

just call Him Nature and respect

Nature's Love and Justice as if it was your God...

SLIPPERS' SENRYU

A dream - Olga Larionova

I love the sound that

Your slippers make as you walk

Wispering you 're here

SADLY NICE

Flight - Olga Larionova

This moment

this very moment I feel I faint

I feel I am above my body and going 

Towards the stars- strange!- I could remember

A billion things, so many persons I love

I could pity myself or feel the terror of dying

But

I just think of you and the waste 

I will never again be with you

I 'm going to sleep not looking at

any other miracle of life

but looking only at your eyes!

ΣΩΜΑΤΟΣ ΧΑΪΚΟΥ / BODY'S HAIKU

 BY Alexander Maranov...1962

Δεν πούλησα το 

Σώμα χάριν της Ψυχής

Γι' εμένα ισάξια!

(c)ΧρυσαΒελησσαρίου2013

 I did not betray

My Body for my Soul's sake

Coequal for me!

ΓΥΝΗ ΤΗΣ ΓΗΣ ΧΑΪΚΟΥ / WOMBMAN'S HAIKU

Γυνή πάσας γης

τα στήθη προτείνεις για

θυσία ή βύζαγμα 

........................Χρ.Β.@}->--

Ο' womb-man of earth

forwarding your breasts to feed

or even to shield
