A Hound Sniffing Her Way Back Home:A night in your arms
after a day of freedom
new places possess…
My body inches towards you;
my nose eager for your skin.
I follow your mouth.
I follow your breath.
I fall asleep…

NYX KOSMOKRATOR (greek/french/english)Κοσμοκρατόρισσα
Ονειρεύομαι πως βλέπω, επιτέλους
το χιόνι
να σκεπάζει την Ελλάδα
τα λευκά κύματα της ακτής
κεντημένα με φεγγάρι
και το γαλανόλευκο του πάγου
Με πυρσούς Αιθέρα
στα τρυφερά σου

A Dry CountryWith drunken care he drives through a dry county.
So thirsty, to keep from cursing God -
He takes to chewing gum;
And swallows his own spit.
An alcoholic who only took one step -
He's admitted he has a problem;
But when he took that step -
He stalled and sat down again.
Another pull from the bottle
Another call from his mother.
Who was never really his mother -
But instead his sponsor.
She asked him once half joking
And all-the-way crying
Why he never listened.
He replied, that she was not his mother.
But, that was how he'd come to think of her.
With drunken care he drives;
Like it's a dry country.
Cursing God, chewing gum,
And thinking of her.
Of all the things that drive a man to drink.

Comic Book HeroWe met in the Summer, I was single and free,
So fragile and sweet, he took care of me.
He was so much fun, exciting and new,
It was all so amazing, too good to be true.
Like a comic book hero, he swept me away.
He promised me the world, the night and day.
But his heart was untrue, his words were lies.
No comic book hero, but a villain disguised.
Our romance was deep, like Superman and Miss Lane
Iron Man, Miss Potts, Spidey and Mary Jane.
He impressed me with gifts, and words sublime,
Affirmations of how he would always be mine.
Like a comic book hero, he swept me away.
He promised me the world, the night and day.
But his heart was untrue, his words were lies.
No comic book hero, but a villain disguised.
As time went by, his promises were lost.
His stories grew grander and my heart was the cost.
The hero, he ran. Where to? No one knows.
But a path of heart ache will follow where he goes.
Like a comic book hero, he too wore a mask.
Promises broken, our love not to last.
And his heart was Recycle BinOh Recycle Bin,
How you taunt me so.
Plump from my ideas,
With none for me to show.
Your mouth always open,
Waiting to be fed
The words that roll about
So messy in my head.
Each scrap a banquet,
Each page a tasty treat.
You grin at my failure
And swell from my defeat... The ThingI lay still in my bed,
Mr. Ted by my side,
And listen hard for the thing
That crawls around outside.
He'll start with the scratching,
It's always the same,
His claws carving the face
Of the wooden door frame.
Then he'll move onto the blood
Seeping beneath my door,
Dripping from the walls,
Covering the floor.
The wardrobe will squeak,
Those green eyes appear,
Voices will whisper
Dark words in my ear.
Their dead hands will tug
At the edge of my sheets
And insects will crawl
All over my feet.
I lay and wait
For their games to begin.
But tonight will be different,
I whisper with a grin,
Tonight I will show
Those monsters a scare.
They can come back again,
IF they dare.

Oh NanaOh nana, Oh nana, why did you have to go?
Oh Lord, nana's gone, why'd it have to be so
Dramatic yet poignant, full of tears and woe
Oh nana, Oh nana, why did you have to go?
Oh nana, look nana, how much Zara has grown
She's standing, believing, planting the harvest you'd sown
Oh nana, I'm sorry nana, I was not taught so
To stay quiet over why, oh nana, over why you had to go.
The nights are so scarring, so grim and so cold
Oh nana, I feel nothing, like one distant and old.
Oh nana, I wish, oh I wish I was told
why Oh nana, Oh Nana why did you have to go.
Oh nana, listen nana, when we meet again
In Paradise, in His Eyes, I shall see you then
I will bring my poetry, the Rubiyyat and Gray's Ode
But on Nana, keep your answer ready, for why you had to go Broken GlassesThe tale began with my trudge down the road.
Hidden faces piercing me; were I some sort of a show?
But I was broken, broken within my heart.
And so I realized too late,
but even before I could have realized, my glasses broke.
If I were to wear them,
would appear the people,
who imitated my friends.
But sculptures too erode; they're nothing anymore,
through my broken glasses.
I once sensed the feel,
were I lost in lost spaces;
for them I wasn't even real.
Nothing more I'll be, they still jeer at me,
while I wear broken glasses.
She did love me once,
such long time ago,
when times were not tense.
But breaking a pledge? That I shall never forget
while I wear broken glasses.
But still rose those whispers "It was you who never knew them"
Then I realized that all I see, I realized all I feel
is not reality; for hidden was the truth within.
Within the faces piercing,
for I saw these faces after my glasses broke.
In truth were they true friends,
merry tunes in silence of grief,
but late it is
