SAILOR'S LOVE

Promotional photo for the film A Sailor Made Man (1921) with Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis



I long for my sole love
My love is a sailor
He is sailing a small boat
Amidst fearful billows

I long for my sweet man
He never sleeps near me
He is wandering away
I'm weeping as willow

I long for his body
't makes mine a wavy bay
He's dreaming my beauty 
't makes him forget mermaids

LOVER'S CHOICE

He was so loved that
He was ashamed wondering
Am I worthy? Why?

Love is a gift and
You take it without questions!
Just your lover's choice

MY BABIES

My babies still are 
Sleeping on my breasts although
Wings sprouted out
Their adolescents'shoulders

TEARS

croc_tears_2_by_shankpony

Tears, tears, seas of tears
Pretensions to weaknesses
Alibi for fear

I am not able to take
My chances and change what's wrong
In my life so I cry

See, I do nothing
Else than to wait death mourning
The End before Start

Plain hypocrisy
To weep for something I can
Do enough I decide


ALTHOUGH YOU NEVER ANSWER


Please make me believe
Again nothing that we felt 
Has been changed yet

Please in my fired dream
I need our love not to fall
Apart like the rest

Please tell me in our world
At least I won't cease to be
Irreplacable

Please just make me hope 
For you I'm most worthy and still
Indispensable

A NO CHANCE LOVESTORY

Pompeo Batoni - Diana and Cupid [1761]

"The real beloved is that one who is unique, who is your beginning and your end. When you find that one, you'll no longer expect anything else. ~ Rumi"
A girl once existed by her soulmate unaware of it and blind
A man once was living near the only girl who could make him happy but he tried to pair with other girls and hurt himself cos he didn't see, he just was blind
He left her go and he travelled on the sea marking himself with tatoos of sorrow
It just was fatal, blame only fate, sometimes we're so near happiness but we suffer from blindness
He stayed always a son though he was eager to become a father
She became a mother for every son, even for the father of her sons
She never lived as the woman she dreamt
That was the way Fate decided to make them see
Don't blame anyone else, it was fatal: the eager father to recognise then the sole mother
When time had passed and none of them could be saved anymore
Sometimes someone really is your beginning and your end but blame Fate you miss the in between...What could we say? That just is fatal...

DREAMS HAIKU



Dreams count for a while
Don't hope they last for ever
Live them when they come

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
