A poem from my book Woman: Splendor and Sorrow

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.

My dear followers, for you a reading from Cindy Georgakas’ book Celebrating Poetry

My dear followers,

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.

You can get it Here

Have a marvelous week.

Destinies by Gabriela Marie Milton

Happy December my dear readers! May your month be filled with joy!

A short poetic prose and a reminder

Destinies

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 amitiรฉ 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 Revelations recently published Celebrating Poetry by Cindy Georgakas. The book was a Top Release in American Poetry and Inspirational Poetry.

Please check it out HERE.

And Celebrating Poetry by Cindy Georgakas -published by Literary Revelations- is now #1 Top Release in Inspirational poetry too!
