Peter Stavropoulos Poems

You are life and love and more.

You are earth and fire and more.
...

Wish upon
Another's heart
Let her be happy
Let her be strong
...

Pure Love knows no rhythm no rhyme
It will always be the curve of your back
How you look at me innocent and out of time
Full of Love for what I lack
...

Each chance
A new belief
Something new
A heart's relief
...

The education of the young mind
Took place
Behind closed doors
Because that mind -
...

Her hand is as soft as my touch
Her lips are as red as my heart
Nothing can compare as much
Pleasure for pleasure will surely start
...

Prepared to ridicule himself, this fool
Is guarded against the jibes
Of those he thinks less inclined to self-criticism.
How then is he to gauge his faults
...

Forever and forever
And always
Nothing can change
What's gone before
...

Not waiting to be hurt again
I hurt myself
In the most unjust way.
...
