Undying Love
The moon tonight beams,
My love.
Rise within the gleams
Dance again, upon the dreams
What is life but a dream that dies in desperation?
What is a dream but a life dying unseen?
What is death but the end of a dream?
Rise tonight my love,
Even death can't do as apart.
2004
What have we done?
Wonderland's lost
Nothing to look ahead
The mirror's broken
And Alice is dead.
Love be ever ours
In love, my love, ever be
For I love thee
As I love the spring's blooming roses
And dewdrops of the morning hours
I love thee as I love the soft diamond showers
That the wind brings me
My love, love be ever ours
Love that flows like a river
But gets lost not
In the saltwater of the ocean
Love that softens not
By the spoiling sea waves
Love that becomes a butterfly
But flies not away
Love that rises
But sets not with the dying sun,
Nor with the dying heart
Love, sweet love,
Beauty's blossom below the sun,
Sweet wine on the lips.
By the stars and the moon and the sun
May love be ever carried with our souls.
May love be ever ours
Love does not surrender
It's not always night when the sun is out of view
Brutal wind does not shake love that is true,
Love that dies before the world's last breath
Is not love
For love does not surrender
To neither man nor death
Kingdom of Death
Very long ago and far away
In a place where no ray
Of either light or hope could ever get
Where the sun and moon never met
In a place gloomy and grey
With an ebony moon shining all day
In a place where the river of sorrow lies
And no angels look down from the darken skies
In a place where no butterflies ever go
For no flowers grow
And there's no rain or snow
No colours
No oceans
No hours
Just stone made towers
And trees dead for centuries
In a place that nightingales stand soundless
And only crows sing
Death built a castle to be the king.
In this distant sinister land
There's no water just sand.
No winter or spring.
Time stands still.
The strong and the weak
The healthy and the ill
Live together
Under a darken sky
Where all light is left to rot.
Death discriminates not
And all who live, one day die.
Lilith
I'm the beautiful one.
First woman ever made.
With hair long and black
And wings on my back.
I am a woman
Who refused to be a slave to a man
And forever from heaven was exiled.
There's no love, no trust
Anything I touch will turn to dust
I'm a Dark Angel, A Vampire,
A Black Queen
With man's orders
I refused to comply
The return to the sky
I'll always deny
I'll travel through broken mirrors
I'll sleep with Demons
I'll break every chain
You'll feel my pain
Heaven's a lie
I'll never die
I'll eternally reign
Through your nightmares
I'll never be lost.
I am a Dark angel
Immortal, with black wings.
First woman ever made
Beautiful and betrayed.
2005
I. Burn all the stars
Shut your windows and lock the door
Let the sun come in no more
Cover the mirrors one by one
Burn all the stars, leave none
Silence the nightingales, let only crows sing
And let the winter come and take the spring
Paint the white walls black
And the pink roses grey
Dry the oceans, stand back
And until they are full again
Cry for a life that was taken away
II. Don't they know?
Why hasn't time stopped?
Why does the earth keep rotating?
Why hasn't the moon eclipsed the sun?
Why haven't the trees lost all their leafs?
Why don't the stars one by one fall?
Why doesn't the sky turn black?
Why doesn't the air suffocate us all?
Don't they know the one I love is gone
and never coming back?
III. I have loved a rainbow
So many dreams we didn't dare to dream
So many tears shed
over cold stones
A thousand words left unsaid
A thousand sleepless hours.
The flickering candles and white flowers
They will not awake you
The stars will mourn, what else can they do?
I have loved a rainbow, luminous after the rain
Now forever gone
Come tears and wash out the pain
Death is merciful, life is not.
{untitled}
They told me to stop
And I did
They told me I wasn't good enough
And I believed them
And they were right
I wasn't good enough
For they told me to silence
And I did.
Hollowed Sun
Hollowed sun
Stars outdone
Oh emptiness, hail
Stand still, watch me fail
Burn my wishes one by one
Watch my dreams come undone
The nightingale bleeds while it sings
For I have clipped my wings
And fell in a crimson sea
Took the moon with me
And drowned the light
In a dark ocean burning bright
Polluted the rain falls from the empty sky
Old memories like ghosts they spry
Dance by my window
And tell me stories with angels
Doomed to die
I break down and cry
The snow is black instead of white
How long can I bear the night
My pain is too deep
Oh my angel, ever so sweet
Let the nightingale forever sleep
Let my darkness be complete
Let hope forever die
It's all but a lie
Crying for me doesn't worth your tears
All I have to give you
Is nightmares and fears
My dreams were never true
Hollowed is my sun, synthetic my sky,
My wings lost, to heaven I'll never fly
Alone
Black is the water, cold
My shadow
Silently waiting
For the twilight to unfold
Alone
The wind is made of stone
It sings in no tune
I call for the moon
It laughs at me
How dared I believed
It would come for me
I stand by myself
I rip the roses
Of my deserted garden
Only dust now lives there
Ashes from burned gleams of light
Hope
Her ashes flew in the air
Joyful like a childhood's kite
Now torn and abandoned
Forgotten
Forsaken
I rip the roses
And the moon laughs
There's nothing else away to be taken
The gate cracks
And slowly
It closes
Bleeding
Bitter, painful are the pictures
Memories held hidden, away
From the frames and the walls
Dismay;
The light defeated falls
My sun is left to rot
And no star can be bought
Each scar is real
The feeling is not
They sing in words
You'll never understand
The painted masks are far too serene
What's behind them remains unseen
You never wished to see
It's so easier to agree
So easier to believe
Than to grieve
Easier to count stars
Than scars
But without them
You'll never see
No matter how close you'll stand
How close you'll look
You'll never understand
You will never understand
Never True
Before the waking of the sun
All I am is outdone.
All I loved is not here anymore.
The path that I followed
Is shattered on the cold white shore.
It devoured the light of the mirrors.
It stole the end of the day.
Take me away.
I'm bleeding forever.
My starlight ocean
Is lost within the silence of the waning moon
Lost, like the starlight echoes at noon.
Like tears in the rain.
Come take me home.
Free me from this pain.
There are no answers to every why.
Not here, not in the stars
On my bloodshot sky.
I'm falling alone
Fading away
The stars were false,
Dead for centuries
Led me astray
The sun burned everything I knew
Blinded me every time I raised my eyes to look
It pierced my heart through
This path that I took
Was never mine, never true.
{untitled}
Those white flowers they'll wither
Those tears will dry
What else can be done
No one will pass these walls
And the waters here are so cold
Beautiful
But cold
The moon laughs
Laughs like a blade
I'm gifted
I'm cursed
No one will ever pass these walls
No one will ever come for me
{untitled}
I burn the dreampieces of today
Warily walking on the sand
I carve in stones white castles
I paint my world on the other side of the mirror
But wonderland doesn't belong to me
The ocean drowns the sapphire-mauve butterflies
Suffocates the stars
And I fall and fall down the hole
But all I find is darkness
Not your Girl
Stop throwing away my dolls
I'm still a girl
You have no place in my room
I'm not your girl
Stop throwing away my dreams
You have no place in my world
{untitled}
It's time, time to let go. Let go of all the illusions;
the bright stars that were never mine...
Darkness will come...
Darkness
Shadows
They never shine
But they are forever mine
Darkbound Phobetor, take me
Take me to your nightmare
The light only hurt me
It's time to go
Time to be free
From the world that hurts me so
Devil's Toys
Broken, tainted
Black, grey and blood red painted
Devil's toys
They are the screams and the noise
In your head keeping you awake
Hidden in the darkness
Your soul trying to take
They are the monsters coming out at night
Vampires that need no invite
Snakes and skeleton puppets
Performing their own little play
Nightmares of death that will not go away
With sadistic smiles they are waiting for your screams
While lighting fires to burn your dreams
There is death on every sunray
There is blood running from a flower's wrist
And every shade of green fades to grey
They laugh as the day ceases to exist
As you wither away
Shattered, decayed
By black magics and demons they were made
Devil's beloved fiends
They torture but they don't kill
They rape and hide behind your bed
Until by your own hand, you're dead
Until you become their slave
And they laugh and dance upon your grave
Seduction
I'll be your little girl
Follow you into the night
Darkness will burn bright
As you find your way inside me
The angels will burn their wings to dust
They'll drown in solid waters of your soul's sea of lust
I'll be your little girl
Satisfy your desire
I'll make you feel the sweet pain
Feel the paralysing fire
I'll be your darkest dream
Come now and fall into the darkness
Slip into ecstasy, forget your sadness
Run your figures through my black velvet dress
Come and watch the skies burn
Feel my flame all the way through
The moon has abandoned you
We are alone at the time's turn
Lost in sin and there's no return
Darkest Love
I'm a priestess in the darkest temple
Fallen from grace
Into the darkness's erotic embrace
Come inside
No light will caress this room
Tonight I will be your bride
I will be your doom
Surrender to your desire
Come and burn with incandescence
In my body's hallowed fire
Follow the shades of the crimson rain
Sink into the pain
My love is darker
Your lust is greater
Guide the serpent
As it rises higher
Into the depth of my body
The depth of my soul
Now the nocturnal dreams
Inside me are awake
The venom of the snake
Runs through my veins
All the stars will break
I release you from your chains
Forget Eve, I'm Lilith drowning deep in sin
I'll take you where you've never been
I'll hurt you
I'll drink of your blood
My love will tear you apart
With your lust you feed me
In your torment you need me
To complete me you'll bleed
You will die away for my greed
As your body burns underneath me
I'll crush you beneath my dark love
I'll take your soul
In the darkest shrine
As you are inside me
You are defeated
And you're mine
Poison me
Sweetly
Delicately
Hold me in your arms
Pretend you love me
It's only for a moment
Love
Fake
Like the stars
Illusive beauty
But so warm
You can't deny me
My last wish
It's only for a moment
Untrue
But so bright
2006
Stab me in the heart
Watch me fall apart
I can never love
And how could you love me
If I can't love you back
I don't believe you can
I don't believe in hope
Don't believe in this world
And I can't stand the pain
My tears are vain
This wound in my heart is too deep
Sing to me a lullaby
And watch me sleep
Watch me fly
{untitled}
Fading with convulsions
A gloomy shine
Each thin red line
Tells a story
Eternal rain, no glory
This pain is mine
I hold it safe in my heart
Death defeated love
And now he is they only one
Who can do as apart.
Where dreams go to die
Weary moon and night, so profound
Brooding are the shadows on the dim mound
Fading, the stardrops on the dirty ground
Black is the unyielding snow
Dark is the sun with no glow
Broken the bridges amidst the sky
Catacombs were white flowers cry
Where orphaned dreams go off to die.
Sleepless
The moon grows paler
Another night counting stars
That do not appear in the black-eyed sky
Hypnos' sons will lie to me
Asphyxiate me in sweet illusions
In dreams of heaven
And in my wake his other half
{Thanatos, his twin}
Will rip the warmth out of me
And a million blades will pierce my heart
Shred my rainbows
But no,
I will not close my eyes
I'll wait for the noon
The death of all shadows
No shade to hide
My soul will burn
Naked
No disguise
No heaven
No lies
Like a porcelain doll
I'm not a doll
I won't smile, I won't sit against the wall
I won't let you dress and undress me
And make my hair
But I do need love and care
For I'm fragile and if I fall
I'll break like porcelain
Like a porcelain doll
{untitled}
Bleeding like wings of forsaken faith
A petal for her dreams
And a rusted box for her love
Who stabbed you little girl?
Whose sins do you carry in your heart?
For whom are you silently dying?
Silently bleeding gold and silver dreams
Kissed with promises to hush her screams
Her tears will poison you
Her touch destroy you
And yet she keeps hope in her heart.
Numbers
{My heart beats too fast and no one can heal me}
Thirteen strikes of the clock.
Eight poisoned apples.
Paralyzed - the ballerina with the silver eyelids.
Misplaced - hopes and fragmented dreams.
Hospital visits confused in purple lights
White pills and blood-red smiles
Count backwards from ten.
One million tears
Wasted on dirty pavements.
Twelve little pills covered in sugar.
Three white roses - withered
One by one the stars fall
Day after day she stares at her reflection
And one by one the stars fall
Skinny with shadowed eyes
She is trapped inside the mirror on the wall
And she is the unhappiest girl of all
2007
22.2
The lone ocean makes up
For the untouched sky
After all
All the stars are fake
22.3
I bribed the sun
So it won't burn my wings
If I fly too close
75.I
I stay awake at night
and count grains of silver sand
how fast they disappear into the merciless sea
how violently the moon collides with my dreams
I lie awake whispering sweet nothings
while reveries die in the storm
and become butterflies
I dance in shallow waters
And in the eve of every dawn
I fall asleep with my hands
full of grey ashes
Ashes of tomorrows that won't come
75.II
Whisper to the moon
while heaven quivers
while the last star dies in my dreams.
Shivering.
Almost bleeding.
Use your dream to find me.
Unveil the stars and consume their silver fire.
Carry me.
Away.
And what if the angels gave us wings?
What if this isn't a dream?
Or life is a dream itself?
What if we could stop falling for a moment?
Or we could defy the laws of eternity?
Would you find me then?
Would you come?
77.I
I count moments of silence
While the moon flickers outside the white walls.
I count cocoons that will never turn to butterflies
And wounds that will never heal
I stand helpless
While my dreams slip through my hands
77.I (part 2)
As the night fades away
And silence overcomes
Stars disappear into emptiness
Sunbeams shatter my hopes
And I long for the time when the night
Will not bring me deceptive dreams
I long for the time when
Redeeming rivers will not recede from empty skies
And like heaving fire from fallen stars
Keeping hope will require no more sacrifice.
712.I
She was full of mint snowflakes and lavender dreams
With cotton candy hair and eyes like volcanoes
Flickering,
Flickering...
We were eating peaches below opalescent skies
Next to a foamy sea
That reminded me of tears
And carousel-like sunsets.
She was laughing.
Open lips, palms dripping sun-drops and honey
We spun around so fast...
I told her I loved her
And she gave me butterflies
And cinnamon sticks.

83.II
Δεν αγαπήσαμε ποτέ. Χαμένοι.
Σε μια θάλασσα άγρια και ματωμένη.
Όσο κι αν ψάξαμε δε βρήκαμε λιμάνι.
Ο ουρανός σβησμένος, η πυξίδα σπασμένη.
Παγιδευμένοι στου κυκλώνα τη δύνη.
Τσακισμένοι από τον πόνο και την οδύνη.
Προδομένοι.
Στέρεψε της ελπίδας το πηγάδι.
Κλείσε τα μάτια.
Σκοτάδι.
83.III
Μαύρα νερά, μολυσμένα με δάκρυα και αίμα.
Κι είναι η ζωή συντριβή.
Είναι η αγάπη ψέμα.
85.I
Cherry blossoms drift on the sea
Softly, quietly. But -
the ripples melt the snow
85.II
The nightingale gave birth to a rose
my heart dreams in moonlight
A golden fragrance
85.III
Beneath a white moon
Sorrow stained songs
Frosted like snowflakes
85.IV
Wind-still, a mellow sea
Whispers the lonely oak-tree
It's time to come home
