  • Wishing Blue

    The blue of the sky poured into my heart. Filling it with vast hope it surrendered willingly on the fluffy, innocent clouds. Laid down all its wishes cautiously, as they were fragile treasures so they can travel around the world, becoming true, bit by bit. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou

  • Silence

    Deep silence envelops my heart silence that resembles an endless black abyss. An abyss into which, if one falls, is lost forever. Endlessly, steadily falling as the sluggish heart continues to beat dully in the hope that death will come soon with the redemption from the strained soul. ©2025, Vasiliki…

  • Runtime

    Time has run away from me, and my soul chased after it. My dreams? Breathless, they were left back in the dim light. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou

  • Doomed

    In an unequally unfair battle, Peace lost to War, throwing humanity over a cliff afar and smashing the world into pieces. All over, bloody darkness covers the light, and in our hearts, grinding pain pervades and the future, that is doomed walks in an unending circle of violence and despair.…

  • Love’s Gravity

    My sanity falls into the trap of gravity of love caught in the nets of passion, and there’s no rescue, only surrender to an unknown fate. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou

  • Starwish

    A lonely star shines brightly up there in the sky. Full of hope and on hold for better days to come. But darkness is deep-seated in people’s wiry hearts. And thus, the star’s wish is fading away as light cracks open a new day. Bitter teardrops run down from the…
