Ivy Christou Poems

I wish I could remove the skin from your skull
And reveal all your bitterness to
all those blind people around you.
You are not interested in any of us.
...

In our small apartment the single kitchen window
was facing the sea; it was our blue ribbon
in the middle of a grey frame.
It was our footprints in the unsinkable gravel road.
...

I wish I could find the right words
and my lost courage..
I wish I could tell you how much you mean to me
and that days seem lifeless with out you
...

Don’t say I can’t
if you haven’t seen my limits,
Don’t say I’ll fail
if you haven’t seen me try.
...

I felt your smile when I panicked,
The world was running away
But you sat next to me
Holding my trembling hands.
...

I know you are the only One for me,
our past knows you feel the same
but Fate doesn't know how to count..
And all I have from you now
...

I am in a bus, going away
Away from you
Away from sleepless nights
I hope I can forget you for a while,
...

I watch you wash your hands
for the tenth time today,
you look relieved
even though they bleed
...

I wonder if you think of me at all,
I am and it’s not helping me any more.
I need someone to take me away,
Take me away to a place where there is no memory or pain
...

Glorious Girl
With the huge smile,
The friendly hug,
The gentle shoulder to cry on,
...
