Beauty (Remove filter)
The Truth Is Sadness
Decorated lives
shuffling onwards
towards inevitable darkness
we cloak ourselves
in the hood of love
cover the cage
deny the sky above
the truth is sadness
Tiny movements
helpless gestures
elliptical orbits
around the heart of happiness
an argument
with a river
convinced of our control
tilting the rudder
towards hope
the truth is sadness
Fold the patterned sheet
around your ...

Garden Greed
The rose recognizes the beauty of the sunflower, all the while self-assured in her own. She does not envy the golden beauty for her appeal to you
She knows better - she has guarded her stem from the likes of your fingers and the fingers of those before you, and the ones that will come after
She knows that while you, selfishly and ignorantly, believe the garden to be created for you...

Beautiful You
For every ship that sailed away
you forever received two in return
the heavily laden burden of fault
from which you never had to learn.
The sparkling light of luck
shone always on your skin
and the bright spark of hope
built bridges from within.
Perfectly formed a beautiful being
the mirror blushed at your vision
a sight to behold and to admire
a form unn...

Beauty - A Perspective!
Beautiful segment you look a core element,
Immersed in faith, love and sentiment,
That smile you wear is rich and aromatic…
You seem well versed and fantastic;
The vibes that you send are an enrichment.
It’s perhaps not just this recent occasion,
You surpass every time with wit and conviction,
When you reveal the beauty that you are…
It’s tremors are felt vast and far,

Beautiful People
Hail to the beautiful people...
who smile in the face of adversity,
overcome their demons,
make their dreams come true,
lend a helping hand,
make the world a better place,
give us hope for a brighter future,
make us feel young again...
We salute you,
look up to you,
want to be you,
love you.

YOU'RE VISITOR - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
When the birds take back their language,
when the trees unloose
their tenderly hands from around you,
when the air doesn't breathe
and the seas are tearing,
when the flowers whisper:
No, you own nothing,
then remember:
You're visitor,
honoring the hospitality.

second wind
My vitality feels resuscitated with every breathe we share
two halves of a heart
you are the oxygen that pumps, vestibule, pair of consonance heartbeats
bounce off the walls.
we jump up and down hand in hand
your touch warms through and lights a fire inside and around
sound mind when your whisper incites a riot
the night is charged, god particles in the air.
our souls dance...

How could I forget
Oh my God
I can't forget
The way you
Owned the road
In many a boy's heart
Leasing a foothold.
The way you used
To sashay
Calls for an assay
Why?
To prove
You're composed of
Pure gold
To outsmart many
A girl 100 fold.
I bet
Your liquification
It is unmatched
To date.

WHERE IS THE MAGIC? - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
Where is the magic?
We all start out knowing magic.
We are born with hurricanes and whirlwinds,
oceans and galaxies inside us.
We are able to sing to birds and read the clouds
and see the destiny in grains of sand.
But we have forgotten the magic
and we feel without compass, alone and desperately,
only selfishness, only pain, fear and darkness.
But, magic of love has nev...

We Were Beautiful
The complication of those earrings
the texture of the paint around your eyes
the sun's highlights in your hair
The redness of those parting lips
such belief in everything we said
the pristine shape of your nose
Lying on the roof
your head close to my heart
summer blushing the sky
weren't we beautiful
weren't we beautiful then
Nothing to fret about
just prolong the passing day

Beneath Beauty...
The Lily-of-the-valley
a flower divine;
a bell-shaped face
of exquisite design;
a pervading aroma of
angelic incense;
milky-white petals
pure innocence;
it's beauty belies
a sinister power;
the Lily-of-the-valley
a deadly flower!

outside
i am as a sapling in the shadow of a hundred year oak
try not to breathe, not to stir
i wish to remain unnoticed at the edge of your meadow
here in my solitude
i dare not disturb this perfect silence
inexplicable and deeper than night
nothing casting it
a black shadow wavers in the bright sunlight
it covers the the meadow floor
pulling at my curiosity I am lost in it's mystery

You & Me
You & Me
Together we may see the Devil Dance
& together we may see God cry in vain
How Our typical eyes
So often only notice the typical guise
Like so many on this sphere I know
You’re undervalued
Lost like a sailor in the vast ocean blue
Come along with me
Let me make you feel new
I’ll caress every ...

Sub Rosa
Where once her warm and sanguine heart
fell ashen grey to rest in cold base dirt
high over the familiar bush and shrub
proud crimson blooms pine for love
Where their sacred beauty sings to my heart
they call forth the lovely nightingale
high in their cloudless summer sky
to sweetly sing their longing song
There, I too confess a secret yearning
silent hidden d...

The Mother To All
She’s a bright star, within the unlit night
Guiding others through, the tough thing, that we call life
Her strength is beyond admirable to all
And even if she should ever fall
She would somehow, pull though
The things, that to others, it would inevitably un-do
Her beauty and grace, isn’t just a way to save face
She's had to fight great wars, every single day
Even wh...

What we think is lovely
shapes what we think
is not.
What we think is good
defines the bad.
Life defines death.
Long defines short.
High can't exist without low.
The Spirit-filled teacher
sees clearly,
is not trapped
in the pull of opposites.
She teaches
with her mouth shut,
nurtures others
with non-possessive warmth,
setting them free.

An Unknown Garden
Long!
Long I laboured
through the seasons
through the years
working
on the plot:
delighting
as digging blistered my palms
and the soil grew fertile
as digging pained my back
and plants grew strong -
grew verdant
beside the deep dug pond
with its little stream
where I placed fish
an unplanned golden feast for a heron
and an otter
And as e...

That Yellow Attire
Quiet she was from the bottom of her heart,
I never knew what she hid inside…
I made a fool of self on my part,
Just being a manager and may be a guide,
She was the girl who I took a girl always…
Not knowing there was a woman in her.
All the years I knew her she had her own ways,
And on her own benchmarks she did deliver….
I dared not to touch upon her ever nor even ask,

I could write
a thousand poems
inspired by your dimples
and the shadows they create
Poems that you
could never
would never
should never

Balance Number 1
Beauty is as beauty does
What beauty does
We know
Strength brings strength
In exercise
A healthy gainful glow
Beauty cannot live within
If it has no strength to grow
Strength cannot live within
Where beauty is not known

ingrained
ingrained in our brains
the need to be thin
the need to be thin
so we fit in
ingrained in ours brains
ideals of beauty
ideals of beauty
to be pretty is our duty
ingrained in our brains
be nice and sweet
be nice and sweet
watch how you speak!
unburden your brain
let yourself be
embrace who you are
woman be free

The truth about...
I heard once that monsters used to live among us.
Can you imagine that?
Eating, sleeping and living just like we do.
But that all changed one day,
I don't know why, but it did.
Now, during the day they can't see us,
and we are tormented by the sight of them,
day and night.
strange, right?
Don't get me wrong, they are interesting creatures,
I just want to know why we m...

Young
Its hard to be happy
Hard to be me
Finding out who I am is impossible to the pressure of smarts and immortality
"we live forever" a lie told by us TO US
The bullshit we pull just to feel less depressed and lost within
How do you feel?
Being told your gonna die?
Does it hurt?
We are young
Not yet strong in…
Relationships
Friendships
Caring
Or Money
