Mourner - Μοιρολογητής Poem by Kostas Lagos
Mourner - Μοιρολογητής
A priest who doesn't want to chant
A spider denying its web to spin
A poet who dislikes the words he writes
A turtle that its own shell it breakes
A singer who hates his songs
A bird trying to rip its wings off
A sculptor who can't stand looking at the rock
A snake swallowing its venom
A slave avoidinghis freedom
A dragon breathing smoke of a fire extinct
Let me be, let me live
Let me rest in peace
Ιερέας που δεν θέλει να ψάλλει
Αράχνη που αρνείται τον ιστό της να υφάνει
Ποιητής που τις λέξεις του αντιπαθεί
Χελώνα που το καβούκι της να σπάσει προσπαθεί
Τραγουδιστής που τα τραγούδια του μισεί
Πουλί που τα φτερά του ξεριζώνει με πυγμή
Γλύπτης που δεν αντέχει τον βράχο να κοιτά
Φίδι που το δηλητήριό του καταπίνει συριχτά
Σκλάβος τη λευτεριά του π' αποφεύγει
Δράκος που με σβησμένη τη φωτιά του απομένει
Αφήστε με να υπάρχω, αφήστε με να ζω
Αφήστε με εν ειρήνη κάποτε ν' αναπαυθώ
Mourner, this reverse poem you created, shows the things that do not go. Saddest if it´s truly so. Of course, a priest can´t chant if he mourns and the likes. CONGRATULATIONS, dear Kostas on being chosen by Poem Hunter and Team as The Member Poem Of The Day. Hurray! God´s Blessings in Abundance for you. A 10 Full Score for this scala of mourns. Saddest, but you wrote an amazing poem, Kostas. I have enjoyed very much!
Congratulations Kostas! Your catchy poetry contains mixtures of irony, nostalgia, humour and philosophical truths. Happy PH has chosen you for this honour.
When these beautiful works can not be done, it must be a state of mourning. It is a lamentation and frustration for one's inability to do the things he is supposed to do. Congratulations Kostas Lagos for your poem being chosen as the Poem of the Day!
