Scars - Tsonis Anastasios

"This book is a unique blend of poetry and prose written in a way that reflects the author's attempt to create an environment where his life experiences and education coexist. Where his personal feelings and life events, mathematics, physics, and art, come together to produce a book unlike any other. The book consists of 28 pieces and each one includes one or two paintings or photos, which reflect the desires, emotions, humor, and other strong feelings of the poem or story. This is a book where randomness and reason emerge as part of the world we leave in."

SAMPLE POEM:

ODE TO AN IDENTICAL TWIN

The softer and the harder

The sensitive and the indifferent

The emotional and the reasonable

The calm and the upset

The poet and the writer

The weaker and the stronger

The unlucky and the lucky

I cheated you 

I took more

And you were left with less

You were the weaker

I was the stronger

I cheated you

But you never complained

Because you loved me

Even a small uphill creates a noticeable wind

How then can I not notice you?

Fading face 

Eyes drifting into the darkness of future

Come find me you say

I will wait for you, you say

You took the moon away

And now it's always dark at night   

A rainbow missing one color     

You touch me and I feel I exist     

I want you back

Just for a second

A second  

Too much to ask?

Parallel love

Infinite the distance

But for one moment

I wish

You cross to my universe

And touch me                                                

Just for the smallest unit of time                                 

Whatever that is

I dance for you

A zeibekiko

In the space-time floor

You in some other universe

Suspended in time

Looking at me through our photo together

Laughing at my style

Because I want to be funny

To make you smile

In that parallel line

Which will never meet my line

But really who cares?

We are very close parallels

We live for ever 

Passing from universe to universe

And are together

In every dream
