Poetryzine magazine presents the selected poems by the Greek poet Elena Liatou
If it had color
If your anger had color, it would be black, like a winter night where I am looking for light in my
soul.
If your hope had color, it would be blue, like the summer days I look forward to.
Your enthusiasm would be painted pink, like the timid windmill behind the rock.
Your frustration, would take brown color, like the fallen autumn leaves, down on the wet ground.
If your optimism had color, it would be yellow like golden rays, bathed in light from bright days.
If your joy takes color, it would be painted it red, like the red wheels that will bloom in spring.
With all-white color, peace will be painted like white doves, which bring messages of joy, in your
two hands.
Your feelings are expensive pearls.
With color they paint in life, every moment of yours.
Celebration days
Celebrate your days.
Dress them with strong love.
Throw a scent of success to smell.
Fun days all look alike.
With the veil of joy, it covered them gently.
It drove the pain and bitterness away.
And if grief lurks under your window to pierce, it will be frightened by so much joy and will
silently run to escape.
Celebrate your days and sadness will have no place there.
From the vortex of happiness the force, terrified will run, and will be saved chased.
But if your life brings storms, thunderstorms and lightnings, do not be afraid!
Reach out to your cruel fate.
Days of celebration, tell her how she owes you! She will pay off and then she will go somewhere
else!
Expectations
You collect dreams, you stack them in a golden pouch.
You feed them with love and hope that they will reap, grow one day, take life.
Expectations nurture for bright moments, bathed in the sun's rays.
Visions flood your being, pushing it into tomorrow's paths.
And while your existence walks in life the distant army, you sink into the habit the swamp waters.
You are lost!
Suddenly you start embroidering again expectations to lead you to new destinations.
The thought is disarmed, wrapped in a golden cloth, setting up a crazy dance in the night.
Open your wings to your expectations, open for a new, cloudless sky ...
