Niko Tiliopoulos Poems

Darkness:
the absence of light.

But in a forever absent light,
...

She arrived with the light,
a wild rose blooming under the sun's delight.
She departed with the last breath
of the withered stems that kiss the Earth.
...

I am blessed
for in a life I lived four.
And my ghosts playfully dance
the tarantellas of their dreams
...

The night found her alone,
this wasn’t any special one,
this was a night like any other.
...

I woke up this morning,
just like the other days.
Got myself in frond of a mirror
and watched him.
...

(lyrics)

She stretched her wings in a need to fly away
without saying a single bye,
...

(Written during a national elections period)

A party? which party? Party spins!
The collective dactyl of the paladins.
...

Children were playing hide and seek,
old men were cleaning their pipes,
women were baking bread,
teenagers were flirting at the mall,
...

My memories?
Oriental spicy dishes
on the diet of my mind.
...
