For R.A
Vasiliki Petroudi 1977 (Athens)
If the door from the wild wind creaks
Oh, how my soul for you it craves
If a dry branch in the garden stirs
the agony visits me in waves
A stranger 's footstep on the street
You are not coming, it's so late
In vain all the heartbeat
still in darkness i wait
The night is cold and dim
tears my lonely candle dripping
on the floor playing a moonbeam
poor body yearning is whipping
Desperation holds me tight
I know you will not appear
not only for tonight
but forever is my fear
