  • Burned

    Melting kisses on the heart your both eyes set a fire in my desert, being and here I am burning alone chaperoned only by an indifferent Sphere. ©2024, Vasiliki Papadopoulou, all rights reserved.

  • Less Dystopia

    What could you do less of? I could do less of listening to war and crisis news on the news channel. War in Ukraine, war in Gaza, war in Israel, war in Lebanon, war in Syria, and who knows where else but are overshadowed by the more significant conflicts. There…
