Poems of Maria Kolovou Roumelioti (Greece)

BEAUTY 

Maria Kolovou Roumelioti

GREECE 

Which castle, unguarded,

walked into the vastness

and the sea was ashamed

and was dressed in the red

of the sun's rocky helix?

And left behind the cypress trees,

like

leaning monks

in a prayer pose,

to carry in their branches

the wounded nests

from the stones of Goliath?

Which flash uncovered memory

and dew emerged

from the clouds, the dew

to quench its thirst?

Which summer star led you

to distant lands that your mind was seeking?

Now I am silent!....

Let me listen

to the walking of the ants

in the haystack the bales!.....

This sea of ​​the mind

Breathed with myrrh, it appeared

and seduced us!......

ΤΗΕ ASHES
Maria Kolovou Roumelioti


What do you want.... Great poet!
Such is life!
Homer's coffin took pity on us
And remained open
To receive our ashes!...

In the hidden places of the Universe
The saints were deboned
Eated by cannibals!...

The abundance of New York, it has become scarce!...
And those who served visions
It has minced them
for the great feast of banquets!.....



AT THE SIGHT OF EMPTINESS
Maria Kolovou Roumelioti

I bent down, deep inside, to see what was happening to me
Vertigo knocked me down at the sight of emptiness
The door I was looking for, broken in the chaos
A party of ruins and nuggets of gold!...

The lamp was missing from the shrine....
A pirate thief stole it, hid it so I wouldn't find it!...
The blood was foaming in the sacred well
The hours I struggled to get out of the depths!...

Horizon, don't try to become one of the tyrants
The sunset only lasts two minutes
It will quickly get dark in the narrow alleys
and the shadows will meet the shadows of the bushes!...



Don't try to become the horizon of others
the sunset lasts a little...
and it gets dark quickly!....
