Farewell

                                                                       


It’s five o’clock in the morning, but I am up since 4.
The sky is covered in the dark, the night is still on. 
The alcohol is floating in my veins, trying to find a way to escape.
This bittersweet exhausting feeling, this pain in my head.

At the moment I can see, I can feel,
her strength gave up on me, she opened the door and left.
She was innocent as a bird, trying to fly over the world.
She wanted to breathe in life, she wanted to breathe out love.

I always had to be the‘strong’ one, but we both suffered.
The world for us was something hard, so we held our hands
together. It may sound sweet and it was, it was.
I could always feel this spark with her, I felt safe.

I could write for hours this painful night but I won’t.
I will continue playing this theatre in the game of life.
At this moment I don’t care about my health, nor money,
For this is the worst day in my life and I admit, I feel scared.

A Mother’s Influence

  A Mother’s Influence  Clock’s ticking, birds fly - into the horizon - they are hugging the sky. To listen, to observe, to think, to preserve, to create a mythical stellar dream where he can summon radiant unicorns, and like the stars - to endlessly gleam. Time passes, a boy turns into a man, he loves his mother, and she loves her son. The dark spirits have spoken, he got his heart broken but they couldn’t harm him, his mother nourished his soul, she showed him the way, she became his lighting shield. They never expected to fight a man as strong as him, she taught him to be brave, for the day he would give his precious life, and the whole world he would redeem. Behind every strong, honest, and courageous man lies a strong and caring mother. She sacrifices a part of herself to see him flourish, to become strong, like his father. And when he claims his throne and finds his queen, she is still there to protect him, the mother of the king. Mike Tragas 2022/05/29  Chania, Greece

A boy dies, a King is born

    Born in the wilderness of a cruel and chaotic world, therefore, raised to be quiet and take it all in. A strong paladin with a soft heart, enters the void and slays the demons. The boy dies, a King is born. Fear is forgotten, doubt has vanished. Malevolence, greed and fear are gone, a strong man is a dangerous man. Dignity lies inside him, yet he feeds it - if he must. Resilience solidifies his being, he is unbeatable. He follows his fortune if he must; he kills. He is a king, a poet, a lover - a beast. Mike Tragas 2021/04/30 Sweden, Stockholm

An Old Soul

The sacred consciousness of the projected starlight is mirroring his soul. Cuddling the ethereal magnificence of a lifeless shadow, once lived on earth. To him, it’s all familiar - the harmony of existence and the melody of his heartbeat. He’s been there before, seen it all, but there is no elixir to consciousness, he knows. Seasons come and go, and so does he; in different forms, shapes, and sizes. He loved women, and he loved men. He loved them all; for he was not always a man. Solitude reminds him of the old days of the war, where he was a soldier. He killed and got killed with honor and respect; until his last breath. They asked him to share his story. He refused. They didn’t deserve to know then. Knowledge without experience turns one arrogant because of the presence of fear. Emotions are just temporary. He has no need for them as he knows they make him weak. He observes souls trapped in madness and despair, but he knows there is nothing to do. They will call him crazy if he offe
