Vassilis Christakis Poems

Foray into the unknown, unfettered, not forlorn,
Cut through the foliage of uncertainty with your machete's grit,
Embrace the light that sneaks through scattered shards of fear
...

A breath of cold clean air
A candy-flavored breeze
And an intrepid fiaker
Such is Vienna's winter style
...

There,
In the valley of shadows, in the deep German forest,
We hit them with our lucid spears, of law and logic
Of folly and hubris,
...

Eternal spring how dear and boggling can you be. You come again like an auntie with a cherry pie. And again and again every year.
And we have to rejoice. And revel and sing. How tiresome to have to be happy.
If you arrived in the midst of winter a stranger you would be. And if in the midst of summer you would go unnoticed.
But you come when you have to. Like the auntie that comes out when the cold goes away. You are strange in dress like her. A bit too floral.
