Miss the hug and other poems by Eva Petropoulou Lianou

A kiss to remember...Read More

Miss the hug

A hug that they give you

And you forget the weaknesses

Of your existence.

I miss a kiss

The kiss that someone gives you

And your stomach makes those noises

Like it is full of butterflies.

I miss the smile

That childish smile that you have

You are smiling and all nature become

Pink.

I miss the walk to the beach

The waves

The perfume of the salt

I miss the sunshine and the sunset

All the simple things that I had.

I miss the generosity of the people

I miss the kindness of grandparents

I miss the relaxing moments of drinking a coffee

Now, they all want your friend,

Your position, your talent, your contact,

Your potential, your life,

But almost no one…

Nobody want to get in your shoes

They are too tight.!!!!

Peace

We pay with our lives

For the decision others take.

Because they are looking at their pockets

And not at the safety of the planet.

Why is a war is happening?

Always the same response

Nobody knows!

Learn to talk

Learn to communicate

Learn to accept

Learn to respect.

Peace,

So rare on this planet

Since the existence of humans

Quiet was a privilege for a few.

Understand,

Listen

Be silent

Those are the rules for a bright future.

Hope,

No children will sleep

Without their parents tonight.

Pray,

For Angel’s protection

To everyone’s house.

Women

They are born

They do not just appear.

They are the pillars of societies

Or tribes

They are

They exist.

Women,

Creators of rainbows

Of angels

Of gods.

Women,

Show them respect

As you respect your mama

Your daughter

Your sister.

Women!

We are supposed to be all together

But the new societies

Make us enemies

Cheap

Without care

With sympathy

Without empathy.

If women could remember their purpose

The world could be different.
