31 Μαρτίου - March 31

Σκοντάψαμε στο ρείθρο
Των προθύμων νεκρών'
Με το μυαλό μας πάνω
Και τα μάτια μας κάτω
Χάσαμε στον υπόνομο
Τα κλειδιά της άνοιξης.
Την εποχή που αγαπήσαμε,
Όπως κι'αν την αγαπήσαμε
Περιγραμμένοι όντας κύκλοι
Στο ρόμβο της ευφορίας
Μας την γυρνά σε μίσος
Το απεχθέστατο σκιάχτρο
Στο αγρόκτημα τού φόβου.

Μας υποσχέθηκαν ανέξοδα
Ωδές στην ύψιστη χαρά
Αλλά μας δώσανε,αλίμονο
Σονάτες δίχως σεληνόφως.
Α,εσύ ποιητή της βροχής
Συνοδοιπόρε ευκολόπιστε
Με το γλυκόπικρο βλέμμα
Της ενοχής των ζουμπουλιών,
Σου υποσχεθήκαν τη ζωή τους
Μ'αντάλλαγμα το θάνατό σου'
Και σύ τους πίστεψες,κι'ακόμα
Δεν το λές,μα τους πιστεύεις..

.................

We stumbled in the kerb
Of the willing dead'
With our minds up
And our eyes down
Lost down the gutter
The keys of spring.
The season we loved
Anyway we loved it,
Being circumscribed circles
Round the rhombus of euphoria,
The most  hideous scarecrow 
Turns back on us in hatred
In the farmhouse of fear.

They promised us worthlessly
Odes to the greatest joy
But they gave us, what a pity,
Sonatas with no moonlight.
Ah, you poet of the rain
Gullible fellow traveller
With the bittersweet look
Of hyacinths' guiltiness
They promised you their life
In exchange for your death'
And you believed them,and though
You say not, you still believe them.

I do believe all the concepts you have presented for your post.
They are really convincing and can certainly work.
Still, the posts are very short for newbies. Could you please prolong them a
bit from next time? Thank you for the post.

Howdy are using Wordpress for your site platform? I'm new to the blog world but I'm trying
to get started and set up my own. Do you require any
coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
platform are you using for this website? I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and
I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
