How can you talk to people about God
When you don't hear His voice in the cicadas' singing?
How can you immerse yourself in ongoing prayer
When the melody of crickets doesn't bring you in katanyxis?
...
Dear reader, you will find no poems or songs here
Only the jeremiad of a soul whose downfall is near
...
Make no mistake dear passerby
It isn't Deaththat laughs like a raven
...
Upon my gravestone shed not a tear
For when I needed you, you were never here
...
The cool breeze of spring
Does not annoy anyone
...
A priest who doesn't want to chant
A spider denying its web to spin
...
Before death I 'm standing brave
but the mirror tells no lies
...
She speaks with purple words
a violet melody paints her voice
...
Out of chaos order comes
darkness gives birth to light
in good intentions, evil deeds hide
and as we sing and dance
...
Having
circuit nightmares
and data dreams
...

Whisper
How can you talk to people about God
When you don't hear His voice in the cicadas' singing?
How can you immerse yourself in ongoing prayer
When the melody of crickets doesn't bring you in katanyxis?
How can you leave the world's worries
When you don't envy a snakeskin?
How can you teach about humility and simplicity
When the life of the sparrow seems so strange to you?
Listen to God as He whispers
And stop shouting to others about Him.
Dear Kostas has written poetry for all. If you do not read his beautiful words you are a fool.
Full of poetic originality and zest, Dear Kostas Lagos, Is one of our most original bards And among those, we love, the best.
Kostas Lagos ONE of the BEST LACONIC WRITER and SPIRITUAL POET LIVE LONG HIS GREATNESS
Kostas Lagos, is one of the very few poets on this site who write intriguing poems. His poems are simple yet full of wisdom. I wish him very best and hope he will keep writing such enlightening poems.
Ευχαριστώ θερμά Κωστα μου συγχαρητήρια για τη ποιηση σου
Depth, humor, knowledge, its all contained In his poems. Kostas has mastered the art of concise writing, but saying more in the process! Is that not what great poetry strives to find, that burning core of enlightenment, expressed in words with mental pitch and human tone.
to the members of PH who somehow manage to read this. i have been having little or no luck with PH when i dare to go to it. how depressing is THAT? ! I hope you are well. bri : )
I would like to take my turn, and add some lines of my own, regarding the essence of Kostas Lagos' poetry. By 'essence, ' I do mean essence! His poems strike the reader with the truth, - there is no way around! The brevity of his poetry, it can only mean the amount of previous thought necessary to conceive a poem (haiku, especially!) Kostas Lagos, keep them coming!
Life is a long line of sorrows with tiny little breaks of happiness. Then, we die.
I know many people who have the poise of a philosopher but a few who have such intellect.
The art of the clown is to hide rivers of tears under a pond of smile
The louder the laughter the more bitter the tears
Seriousness is a deadly poison that kills life slowly
Nations pray for peace but they declare wars.
Death doesn't scare me. It terrifies me!
Philosophy lies at the bottom of a whiskey bottle. Well, at least my philosophy does!
The first step in our journey towards wisdom is to accept that we don't have anything important to say
I had words of wisdom to write but I must have dropped them somewhere
Many people seek the truth but does anyone really want to find it?
Free is the one who has broken the chains of rationalism
Most people fear of living more than they fear of dying
Life and death should be treated with a kind of sacred levity. All the in-betweens can be treated with our usual unholy seriousness
A poet of light with beautiful words, and a stroke of genuis that makes poetry poetic.
