Sofia Kioroglou Poems

No shock, no engulfment...
Just the natural corollary to physical birth.
Death is standing on your porch screaming out
and beckoning you to come downstairs.
...

Your chocolate eyes sparkle
effervescent and fragile
they melt like cream in your latte
as they flutter like a butterfly before
...

I see an obstacle
always a roadblock
in my dreams and when awake
...

My dad's unwilting enthusiasm
does little to reduce my anxiety
actually quite augments it
as I try not to hit the pavement
...

For a moment I thought
I had found a new home
I was swathed in blankets
and given some food.
...

Love me and I will love you back.
Crash me and I will adore you
You grind me down like no other
But I do not waver.
...

Love is like the measles.
Once you catch it,
it starts spreading like wildfire.
...

Jerusalem
The city of Gold
Jerusalem
Where Jesus walked
...

Life is like riding a bicycle
You don't fall unless you stop pedalling
But what about freewheeling?
It is like allowing your life
...

Sound no trumpet before you,
man's praise a hollow reward
what good is giving alms
like the hypocrites do in the streets?
...
