Nostradamus - Νοστράδαμος Poem by Kostas Lagos

Nostradamus - Νοστράδαμος

Rating: 5.0


Through the mists of fate

The future is revealed

The fear, the pain, the anguish

The grandeur and the tragedy

I speak in riddles

For your ears are deaf

In anagrams I write

For your eyes are blind

I will be forgotten

But you will remember my

prophecies when the time will come

Nostradamus, the seer

You will say!



Μέσα από της μοίρας τις ομίχλες

Αποκαλύπτεται το μέλλον

Ο φόβος, ο πόνος, η αγωνία

Το μεγαλείο και η τραγωδία

Με γρίφους σας μιλώ

Γιατί κουφά είναι τα αυτιά σας

Γράφω αναγραμματισμούς

Γιατί τα μάτια σας ειν' τυφλά

Θα ξεχαστώ

Μα τις προφητείες μου

Σαν έρθει η ώρα θα θυμηθείτε

Νοστράδαμος, ο προφήτης

Θα μονολογείτε!

This poem is like a prophecy in itself. Excellent use of diction to fully express the ominous wisdom and seer like powers of Nostradamus.

Nostradamus, the seer who saw much, much beyond his time. A mystic, a great philosopher who could predict everything of future. A divine human on earth. Dear Kostas, this is a marvellous poem......10 To my PoemList

WOW dear Kostas, about Nostradamus? Loveliest, but very mystic, a prophecy.....you are right, but when you write nostra damus that means our penalty. Than man had foreseen his name, no? But the fact now is that you have submitted absolutely a dashing poem, I am very surprised of all the occurrences, Kostas. A brilliant poem you wrote A full 10 for your excellent poem. Thanks for sharing.

If future is predictable, it is no future. Better to be ready to meet it what so be it. It speaks volumes, why it needs be told in riddles and anagrams, a lovely poem.
