A nude silence wraps around my lips.The hour to get drunk on love has come. I touch your skin and another you is born. Birds invade the sky. A labyrinth of candles floods the streets. A white thread ties my blood vessels at the exact moment when a religious procession walks by.
Love…

For you a reading from Cindy Georgakas’ book Celebrating Poetry. The poem is entitled There is no distance between hearts that love. I read only an excerpt.
So many miles away, I feel your pain and despair. Your country is suffering, and I am suffering with you because you are my friends. I may have never met you; but I know your heart.
I know your stories, I know your desires, I know your struggles, I know your purpose, I know your families, I know your work, your trials and tribulations, your ultimate highs and lows, your dreams and vision for a better tomorrow…
Cindy Georgakas
For you too I discounted the book. The eBook is now $2.99 and the paperback $9.99.
Our destinies caught in the deep lines of my left palm.
With my right index finger, I trace those lines again and again, until I cannot breathe anymore, until my left palm bleeds.
None of us can be judged outside endless flights between continents, outside of our tears and of our love for art, outside of the slippery slope that runs from amitié amoureuse to deep impassioned love.
One day all of us will have to understand that the past should stay in the past. That day is inscribed in my left palm together with our pain, and our tendencies toward the kind of love that transcends any earthly boundaries.
Please do nor forget that Literary Revelationsrecently published Celebrating Poetry by Cindy Georgakas. The book was a Top Release in American Poetry and Inspirational Poetry.
To those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving I wish you a beautiful week ahead and Happy Thanksgiving! To those who do not celebrate a century of love from me and my publishing house Literary Revelations.
First, I want to share with you a poem included in my book Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings. I hope you enjoy it.
SEDUCTION
the rhythm of castanets awakens the moon on opal rings your kisses spin a cricket’s hitting a crescendo waves tattoo dark shadows on your skin sonority, you who vibrates the souls of those who haunt at night the Port of Cartagena
I toss in smells of apricots and plumes the Hand of Fatima takes off my veils your forehead sinks into the sweat of lovers who sever their veins oh, dream of the unknowns, you, latency, the sigh of blood which flows
in spring both mud and flowers grow didn’t you know that when you said I love you you stepped on roads of fables and folk tales? you glued your heart onto a purple sunset smells of lilac and of roses, impregnated strolls, seduction, it wasn’t me it was you who stole his soul
CELEBRATING POETRY BY CINDY GEORGAKAS
Second, I would like to remind you that Literary Revelations just published Celebrating Poetry by Cindy Georgakas. It’s a wonderful book and I would like you – if you can – to continue to buy it.
Yesterday Cindy was still #1 in Inspirational and Religious poetry. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart to Cindy. However, there were many problems with Amazon apps that showed the eBook unavailable in the US market. At this point things were fixed but just in case if you cannot buy the eBook via the app, please open your browser, paste the link below, and sign in your Amazon Account. That way you certainly can buy.
Yesterday:
Last night we lost the banner to a haiku book that Amazon stacked in front of us. The haiku book does not have any category remotely close to Religious & Inspirational Poetry. I have spoken to Amazon and I trust that the problem will be corrected.
Celebrating Poetry published by Cindy Georgakas is now #1 Top Release in Inspirational poetry too! Congratulations Cindy!
Literary Revelations is fighting like always, the best publishers in the world in very difficult categories. Just to give you an idea in American poetry I am fighting a book by Mary Oliver, a winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Her book is published by Penguin Books.
If you can, please help me more and pick an ebook.
