You can stay together…for another day, a poem by Soulla Christodoulou
57 The breeze it blows My hair around my face Curls tangled and knotted Like our feelings confused and Mixed up like morning’s half-awake mess My face wet from the cold rain Summer evading time and space We walk, you limp, I slow my pace But wonder whether your love will wait As my heart […]
LOVE and US…a poem by Soulla Christodoulou
42 Welcome! This is one of my poems which was published on spillwords.com – where words matter – on May 19th, 2018. It’s about that little word love which has the power to build us up, knock us down, have us sitting up in the clouds, or mooching around in our jim-jams all day unable […]

Walking along the shaded lane…poetry by Soulla Christodoulou
31 Hello! Welcome back to my poetry blog!

Disquietude…a poem by Soulla Christodoulou
30 Your words ringing in my ears Sensitive to pain as to light Foreboding layers, my grey fears A veiled cloud across my sight Anxiety invades in frantic bouts Strangling, clenching tight It is not how it should be I doubt Yet I have no more inner fight This love feels now like darkness […]

Christmas Morning – A poem by Soulla Christodoulou
44 Christmas Morning She woke, stretched arms above her head A starkness, white, across the tiny room It felt as though she floated in her bed Her mind went whoosh and zoom It was Christmas morning And many a sound could be heard Robins twittered without warning Her eyes screwed against the light, blurred She […]
A Christmas Poem from guest poetess and author Amy J. Markstahler
33 Amy was one of the first authors I connected with on Twitter a year ago and her down-to-earth, realistic, heartfelt and often emotional poetry struck me as some of the most authentic poetry I have read in recent times. Amy bares her most inner fears and hopes, her pain and her joy through her […]
