ΠΑΝΣΕΛΗΝΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΡΘΕΝΩΝΑΣ
Χαρά συγκεντρωμένη σε ταράτσα,
θέα θεϊκή
Τα χαμόγελα αμέτρητα,
έμπνευση αγαπητών,
συνέχεια ζωής
Να ζήσουν οι νεόνυμφοι,
που φώτισαν τη νύχτα με αγάπη
Translation
FULL MOON AND PARTHENON
Happiness, concentrated on rooftop,
divine view
Countless smiles,
inspiration of loved ones,
continuity of life
A long life to the newlyweds,
who lit evening with love
B.
In Athena’s shadow
I sit and write;
Inspired by history, meaning,
passed on through the ages
Propylaia and Niki’s Temple,
portending to past, present,
and future
Γ.
MORNING STROLL
Byzantine monument,
providing respite;
Ερμους, not overrun by crowds;
Quiet, comforting breeze,
as Αυγή slowly awakens,
making way for Helios

Forgot how beautiful
the natural tempo of rain
welcomes the passerby
Stillness into Adagio
increasing to Presto
settling at Andante

OM
Ashburn, VA
Thoughts permeate
as music pipes in
Life,
mosaic of faces and experiences,
pastels of memory
Above the clouds
oxygen so valuable;
Mask, uncomfortable accoutrement,
unveiled upon repast’s serving
Cognac and Baileys
portending to relaxation,
as Helios smiles from the window
Mind flows
filling surface with ink;
On trajectory westbound,
where fragmentation is brewing
Synchronous energy and positivity,
Johann, we meet again
In-flight, Athens-Vienna, Austrian 802, 13 November 2021
Escape to mountain,
lake and scenic setting,
47 m deep, 80 m altitude
Time frozen,
psyche unwound,
staring into peaks and valleys
Friendship reaffirmed,
as life’s events recalled
Mountain Lodge
façade of psychology;
Innkeeper,
imparting benefits of healthy living,
as cigarette releases enigmas
Chorus of jackals
across the valley,
crescendo of trip;
Nature calling,
echoing feelings

When the sun sets (or when there is a power failure), this handy inflatable solar lantern provides light anywhere and can be hung from an overhead space, or sit comfortably on a flat service. It also floats!

Πριν δυο βδομάδες η καταστροφή στο Ντράφι.. Σαν χθες οι καταστρεπτικές φωτιές στην Εύβοια και δυτική Αθήνα, πως να ξεχάσουμε .. μας θυμίζει την θνητότητα.. Η σύνθεση έκφραση αισθήσεων από τα γεγονότα, και για την ελπίδα που μας κατευθύνει στη θετικότητα.
Two weeks ago, the catastrophic fires in Ntrafi, and like yesterday (a ago), the devastating fires in Evia and western Athens… how can we forget? We are reminded of our mortality.
The composition expresses feelings from past and recent tragedies, and for Elpida (Hope), that guides us to positivity.
From our tower of wind,
Elysian Fields of Aeolus,
looking at Aegean and Cavo d’Oro
Whitecaps,
unbroken chain,
to which we connect
our positivity
Από τον πύργο μας των ανέμων
Ιλίσια Αίολου
θέα Αιγαίο και Καβοντόρο
Προβατάκια,
ατελείωτος κρίκος
που συνδέουμε
την θετικότητα
