Kostas Lagos Poems

A glimpse of you

a piece of gold
...

People say that I am a traveler eternal. That I wander through the ages, eras, mountains, oceans. Time and space are no obstacles for me. I cannot be restricted by any kind of bonds crafted by men. No woman 's kiss can halt my roaming soul.


Alas! I 'm no traveler, I 'm not a nomad who sails at the seas nor a tireless rover on aconstant move. I watched as mountains were turning into lakes and fierce rivers becoming deserts. In front of my eyes great nations and empires fell to oblivion and were forgotten. Giant stars lost their brightness and reduced to cosmic ashes. I saw friends, lovers and relatives passing by from this life to another.
...

A stray dog I saw this morning

thirsty, hungry and lame
...

I love the night.I 'm getting fascinated when I walk through the dark shadows that reign when the sun walks away to give his light to the other half of the earth.This is the time when prayers, as many as the stars in the sky, ascend until they reach the very Gates of Heaven.It is when the night falls that all virtues, sentiments, valuesand qualities arise and reveal their whole and true glory.When there isn't any cloak that can cover the deep truth that every man and woman hide well inside them.
...

Bliss in all its magnificence;

the smile of the beloved when she's asleep
...

Young

at heart
...

Madness
a synonym
to pure freedom
...

I have to admit

I'm in great confusion
...

Life is passing by and death will come

Should I get drunk with tequila or with rum?
...

As I struggle with the words

to write a poem bright and new
...
