charalampos tzanakis – 2 poems

There is no way I will let 
another thought of the 
between sleep and awake 
phase

slip by, get lost 

Why is it that so many stuff 
make sense there but vanish
when fully awake 

Now that I understand my limitations
how can I extend 
the phase

I am tired of holding my head 
in my hands

---

I can't believe I finally 
have you around after 
years of dreaming of you

We could not believe the 
stuff coming out of his 
mouth entertaining us and 
taking care of us 

A gang of girls consoled 
the lovelorn boy but that 
did not help him much

I did a route as hypnotised 
towards the closest mirror 
amidst light crowd 

I see me on the other side
