  • Motionless Words

    Black words on white paper, motionless and senseless, lying around staring at their creator, who’s lost in theories of stuck old doctrines, and tries to scrub his brain to find his enlightenment again. But delusion governs over him, dictating the organ from mind to hand. Thus, our creator can’t resist…

  • Hell’s Paradise

    Silent words tickling my lips trying to reveal my heartfelt pain that arises arcane like an inferno fire to a song of an angel’s choir. Oh father, alas! You left me on paths. Cruel and unlighted and thus, I was guided to a swirling sea of sins. Hell or Paradise…

  • Bleeding

    The sky bleeds the clouds, crimson red, drown my heart, and it endures the pain with head held high because it knows that this world is embedded in myriad unfairness. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou

  • Bashert

    Autumn arrived with a heavy, air- piercing cold, overturning my heart, becoming blithe to the passion it once so utterly felt. Feelings falling off like the leaves from the strong tree trunk and bid farewell without any regret, cast off for a new land full of hope to meet one’s…

  • Distraught

  • Forever Mine

    When you look at me, all my miseries fade away. When you smile at me, life becomes a harmonious movie. When you say my name, angels, floating around me, singing a spellbinding tune. It’s you -my heaven on earth- being my anchor to my happy ending in life. ©2025, Vasiliki…

  • Wretched

    Wretched soul walks alone on dusty roads with the wish to cast off the burden from its soul that torments it unimaginably, devilishly. And as it walks sadly, only with hope rooted in its heart that at its end it will find the salvage it so fervently seeks out. ©2025,…

  • Broken

    I don’t ask for the stars but only for your comrade to hold me tight and love me ardently. Theron, I offer you my soul, and even if broken devoutly, I will adore you until I hand it over to heaven’s vast realm. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou
