Spiros Zafiris Poems

test your efforts to near Him
a deer jumps and knows
man thinks and wonders
mares graze and know
...

a man on a tree
basks in repose
a woman laughs at him
are they not afire
...

seeking reward for his actions,
he waited not to thank the stars;
the all-knowing, open secrets
...

Sparkling dewdrops descend
glistening on your lips,
-sweet words from heaven.
...

bricks may solidify a house,
fine carpentry may add a finish,
and a serious household will love its foundation
...

he was lonely
suicidal
almost
and some relative recommended
...

no, she didn't elevate off the ground,
she didn't recite odes supreme,
nor did she demonstrate her wisdom
with axioms of fond brooks
...

rising to the honor,
the majesty of her voice
cracked in unison
to his tension
...

have a name of serenity to guide you
adore this spirit
and He will protect you
...

this is a room
room which rhymes with poem
in a rooming house
with faces......which also rhymes
...
