ONE GLANCE FROM YOU | TAKIS PIERRAKOS

One glance from you is sufficient
To fling me at the speed of light
Wedge in the heart of the Space.

One kiss from you is sufficient
To transfigure me into a flaring kvazar,
A brutal luminary of the Universe.

A slight detestation from you is sufficient
To expel me breathless,
Burn out coal in Hades.

One sweet word from you is sufficient
To bring me back joyfull
And to order me in a firm orbit round you
My little habitable planet.
