Today is better
yet still so harsh.
Long-lost in hazy revelries.
You deceive the sun
and moon again.
Collected poems of Sotirios Nicholas Vakakas Gordon (also known as Nick). Themes include: the beauty of nature, mystical experiences, phantasmagorical revelries and comforting ways to reach an enchanted forest.

Catastrophic beauty...
Catastrophic beauty
from a distant shore.
Aquamarine sky
merging with rain.
Lead the way to doom.
from a distant shore.
Aquamarine sky
merging with rain.
Lead the way to doom.

I fall with the leaves...
I fall with the leaves.
Waves are crashing.
She is there.
An abandoned city.
When summer departs.
Waves are crashing.
She is there.
An abandoned city.
When summer departs.

Skies colliding with rainbows...
Skies colliding with rainbows.
At the edge of time.
Near healing waters.
Into solitude and oblivion.
These days fleeing rapidly.

Into solitude and oblivion.

The iridescence of summer...
Through fragrant fields.
A new day to conspire.
Tumultuous ocean waves.
Despair with uncertain skies.
The iridescence of summer.
A new day to conspire.
Tumultuous ocean waves.
Despair with uncertain skies.
The iridescence of summer.

Solar fields unravel...
Solar fields unravel.
Time illuminated cannot linger long.
You and your beauty.
Like the start of summer racing.
As ocean waves tranquilly crash.
Time illuminated cannot linger long.
You and your beauty.
Like the start of summer racing.
As ocean waves tranquilly crash.

She illumined skies...
She illumined skies.
Gold glistening on the ocean.
Cerulean sense of wonder.
Lavender fields to wander through.
Vernal advent commencing.

The days extend...
The days extend
and we sense hope.
Azure skies sweeping by.
Halls of sunlight.
Leading to oceans and rainbows.
Beyond overwhelming shades of sorrow.
and we sense hope.

Longing for vernal days...
A spectral solitude.
In amethyst fields.
The wonders of your summer nights.
Longing for vernal days.
Golden sun and silver rain.
In amethyst fields.
The wonders of your summer nights.
Longing for vernal days.
Golden sun and silver rain.

From dawning skies...
Gusts rushing
Through the forest.
Blissful desolation.
A waterfall flowing
From dawning skies.
Through the forest.
Blissful desolation.
A waterfall flowing
From dawning skies.

Sorrows bring storms...
Sorrows bring storms.
Yet an irradiant reprieve
heals your wounds.
I know how Helios feels
when he begins to weep.

Lands adorned with sunlight...
Lands adorned with sunlight.
Torrents flow onward.
Like the breeze.
I could feel winter fading.
Far away.
Torrents flow onward.
Like the breeze.
I could feel winter fading.
Far away.

Out of the wreckage...
Out of the wreckage.
With sapphire luster.
A love for you.
Brighter than stars.
Ablaze.
With sapphire luster.
A love for you.
Brighter than stars.
Ablaze.

Hours of golden summer...
Varying components nullify hope.
Graceful gestures she vibrantly displays.
Words will have little purpose.
Through hushed vales in search of now.
Awaiting the hours of golden summer.
Graceful gestures she vibrantly displays.
Words will have little purpose.
Through hushed vales in search of now.
Awaiting the hours of golden summer.
