CHRYSSA VELISSARIOU

SLIGHTLY PARANOIAC

To be in love seems to be so hard and cruel!

You think you are so happy you can exchange

your whole life for a little moment which

allow you to approach your beloved

when bodies and souls become one

your self diffuses in his

you could erase and kill

your whole logic world

nothing matters

your "only

god" rules

death

THIS BIRD IS READY TO FLY

I woke up and I had wings on my back.

I started to show them to everyone.

-If You were here, I would show them only to You-

They said "But we remember that you always had wings".

I 'm thinking to fly at last.

Even without you.

Perhaps, at some point, if you want it, you will dare it too.

As far as it concerns me, I'm damn sure now.

I aim to live again.

I FEEL YOU'RE MYSELF

It is not my style

To show off or praise myself

I just talk to you

Without looking at you cos

This way I feel you 're myself

AMNESIA

I love you so much ...

I'm starting to forget why ...

I'm getting old...

I'm getting fat ...

My feeling does not fit with my appearance anymore...

I do not care.

If I could see you once more, I would give you a big hug,

the most tight I could enough I do not hurt you

and then I would go away ...

Because only this has a meaning for me now.

To feel, as long as I am still capable of, that you exist.

I do not know anymore why I love you , my friend.

WHEN ...

When he 'll be able to escape

the wild brake with which

her hollow fear holds his soul,

then perhaps the sensitivities and the insights

which she gave birth in him,

will blossom verbally buds

of celestial harmony ...

Sparsely he tries to fly

but his foot is chained to her plumb,

which however brings him down right away as ,

the more the moments are bright

which bewitched him ,

the worst she entraps him day by day

in the neighborhoods of Erebus

-unintentionally but irrevocably-

since Eros unites lives mercilessly

and the stronger he is,

and the more hungry,

the more desperate and cruel he becomes ...

I ONLY WANT YOU AS A DREAM

Open your legs

And let me enter

I die to taste

your salty sea

Open your lips

To feel my passion

I need to see you

Swallowing my fears

Bend on the ground

I feel so burning

Your hair is turning

My mind around

I need you to exist

For me from afar

To shine like bright star

To chase away mist

In fact I'm alone

You're just in my mind

Hidden a dream behind

I live on my own

No danger for you the wear

My touch can not harm

My heart's in alarm

I feel you intact though in despair

I' ll keep you in secret

In my ravenous heart

Not as a mem'ry's dirt

But as my timeless flirt

PSYCHOMATHEMATICALLY

The ease to love someone

is inversely proportional

to the anxiety of the relevant fatal error'

While the difficulty of disengaging from what you love in time

is proportional to the poisonous routine that enchains you,

but also to the square root of the possible betrayal.

OH MY CHILD!

Life is perfect indeed

When I see your eyes

my little jewel

when I feel your heart

life becomes perfect

I just need

to paint with you

to play with you

to walk with you

to talk with you

to sing with you

to laugh with you

nothing matters

when I'm with you

You realize all your spells

my little elf

you touch with your

little magic stick

everything ugly

and you turn it into

a wondrous adventure

into a hopeful possibility

I 'm afraid

Nothing

with you

Even Death

becomes

a faint suspicion

You manage to make me see

through your innocent eyes

through your untouched soul

Life is perfect since I can still

experience it through you

WHY DO YOU HIDE FROM ME?

Why do you

hide from me

your face?

Why do you

hide from me

your eyes?

I never understood

why you put me

in such a martyrdom

So many people

can see you

everyday and

I'm deprived of

seeing your glance

you avert your gaze

from me

you do not let me

look at you

my precious

my wonderful

treasure

You do not let me

quench my thirst

for your soul

before its source

dries out

before my chances

run out

You let me grieve

weep with no consolation

My whole kingdom

is heartbroken

far before my king

to be defeated

far before my Master

to lose his battle

You are still a winner

in my soul at least

I give you the right

and the strength

to still win

you can still conquer

my heart

but you don't let me

enjoy with you

the triumph

that shines in your eyes

thanks to the

unconditional surrender of

my own Jericho

STRANGE RELEVANCE

He experienced the greatest loneliness.

That mysterious loneliness

which someone feels, even though

he lives as flesh among

those who he wishes

to earnestly consort with . Is there

any wider emptiness than the

inability of approach to

the beloved? Yet ...

It happens fatally.

How people might exist

so paradoxically associated

even when parallelously alienated

-almost ambiguously !
