AMONG THE ODES OF TIME : Maria Kolovou Roumelioti
Maria Kolovou Roumelioti
Time, you make me hurt...
What do I owe you?
You offered me cloudy water
As medicine, to drink! ...
And I, the mortal, walked
With a thirsty body
My hands built the sky
My feet the soil!....
I left my armor
A nest, for what will come
And responsibility always embroiders me
With what I have suffered!....
My roots dry up
I watered them with tears
Inside me, the soul is a sea
That had only salt!....
The temporary envied me
I fell into delusion
In tragic irony
Slave of the undertaker!...
In the pains of time
The truth falters
Mud fell into the eyes
And the world collapses!....
All the beautiful things are over
The hourglass is empty
In time the shooting
I will find the new homeland!....
(Maria Kolovou Roumelioti is a Greek Poet and her poems are published in global anthologies and magazines )
