SAD

I 'm so sad

every time I

go away from you

I feel so bad

I 'm in pain

every time I

cut our binding string 

starts a tears' rain

'Tis funny

every time I

feel lost like rich men

without money

'Tis funny

cos I know that

you're always the bee

in my honey

ELDON LUCE'S HAIKU 14/5/13

Hidden on time’s track

Obscuring tracks back to you

The mist and moss grow 

Βρύα κι αχλή σκιάζουν 

τις ράγες του χρόνου μη

κι έρθω πίσω σου

ελεύθερη μετάφραση από εμένα του ωραιότατου Χαϊκού του Eldon Luce

Art by Bernard Faucon

In my lonely heart
In folds on floors where we slept
Your image remains

Έρμη η καρδιά μου
το σεντόνι καταγής
τη μορφή σου έχει

Ελεύθερη μετάφραση δική μου στο πανέμορφο Χαϊκού του Eldon Luce

ΑΗΔΟΝΙΟΥ ΧΑΪΚΟΥ / NIGHTINGALE'S HAIKU

Κι αφού τ' αηδόνι 

την αυγή κελαηδήσει

ξυπνά η ζωή ξανά

Since the nightingale

has sung its trills at dawn

life awakes again

ANOTHER GOD

It is something so hard and cruel to be in love!
You think you are so happy you can exchange
your whole life for a small part of time 
just to be near body and soul
your self diffuses in his
you could erase and kill
your whole logic world
nothing matters
your "only
god" rules
death
(c)ChryssaVelissariou2013

A DETAIL

I am this little something

that came and will go

in a minute, tomorrow

in a number of years

I am not afraid

I created and I loved a lot

I am passionate with life

I always were conscient

I am not for ever though

Life can be

and I exist to push this forth!

In the meanwhile, babe

we had a lot of fun

and we will, isn't it? 

TO BE OR NOT TO BE?

Να ζει κανείς; Αφού θα σβήσει...

Ν' ανθίζει ανθός; Θα μαραθεί...

Μα υπάρχει λόγος! 

Λόγος κοινός για κάθε ον!

Για να κεράσει Ομορφιά.

Εντός ή Εκτός...

Κι η Ομορφιά διαχέεται 

παντού και πάντα

και γίνεται Έρωτας

και ωθεί τη Ζωή 

να γεννηθεί ξανά...

(c)ΧρύσαΒελησσαρίου2013

To live but since we pass away...

To bloom but since the flowers wither

There is a reason though!

A reason common to every being!

We come to offer Beauty

internally or externally

And Beauty diffuses

everywhere and always

and becomes Love 

and Love pushes Life 

to be born again...

AMOR FATI

http://www.flickr.com/photos/qisur/4351237536/

AMOR FATI... γιατί 

αν είσαι ακόμα εδώ και ξέρεις πως θα φύγεις, 

μόνο αγαπώντας τη μοίρα σου 

κι ό,τι έγινες μέσα απ' αυτή, 

θα Ζήσεις. 

Δε θέλω απλά να περάσω. 

Θέλω να περάσω νιώθωντας δυνατά 

κάποτε υπερβαίνοντας και το γραμμένο 

(υπέρ μόρον) 

κι ο λογαριασμός για τα σπασμένα 

μετά...δεκτός. 

Πάντα ό,τι είχα το χόρταινα...

όσο το είχα. 

Ή τουλάχιστον προσπάθησα!

I EXIST

I usually exist 

For others

For familly

For friends

For the society

They demand so much of

My attention

I forgot I came

In this world

For a completely

Different reason

In religion they call it

To save my soul

I call it to live

In my own quality

To seek and find

My inner god

Do you know

What you did to me?

It's really amazing!

I saw this god

Reflecting in your eyes

I remembered the

Reason that I exist

Through your love

Perhaps now

I will be saved...

THE ABUSED

The Death of Socrates, 1787
Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748–1825)
Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Collection, Wolfe Fund, 1931 (31.45)

I am in fact a dreaming slave

I built my prison around me

I thought I was the doorkeeper

I was wrong 

A bunch of opportunists 

were enjoying my innocence

My urge for excellence

became the tool for their contentment

I have been unwillingly a cornerstone 

in a house of abusers

So now, they are in charge

and I am the abused, the disgraced

I am a Greek intellectual

Πεινασμένα σκυλιά

κατασπαράσσουν

την καρδιά μου

θαρρώ μόνο

εγώ αγάπησα

κι οι άλλοι πόθησαν

ο καθένας το 

μερίδιό του

Σαν όλον δεν χώρεσα

στην ψυχή κανενός

Αλλά είναι σύνηθες...

Κι ό,τι αισθάνομαι

απλά κοινοτοπία

(c)ΧρύσαΒελησσαρίου2013

Hungry dogs

maul

my heart

I suppose I was

the only one who felt love

and others lusted after

their share of me

As a whole

I  did not fit in

anyone's soul 

But this is usual ...

And whatever I feel

it is just commonplace
