Posted: November 30, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: 365, Acting, Actor, Actress, Anastassiou, operation 365, opposite sex, Poem, poetry, Zoe, Zoe Anastassiou Leave a commentThe Opposite Sex
I can’t fight
The need to be
Engulfed by magic
Completely
I feel the music
I pulsate the beat
I carry it in my walk
It rises from my feet
It’s mother nature
That looks down
Tells me to smile again
That it’s allowed
To throw back my head
Remove my shawl
Feel my spine lengthen
To six feet tall
My old self emerges
Excitement by what’s next
I have returned with the power
Over the opposite sex

One more
One more bite
One more
One more dark night
One more
One more kiss
One more
One more to dismiss
One more
One more shove
One more
One more I love (you)
One more
One more priest
One more
One more at least
One more
One more phew
One more
One more…or…two?
Operation 365 Poem: day 305…Eating Machine
Posted: November 29, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: 365, Acting, Actor, Actress, Anastassiou, eating machine, operation 365, Poem, poetry, Zoe, Zoe Anastassiou Leave a commentEating Machine
I can’t see my toes
Past my tummy
Nope, not a baby
A belly full of yummy
I officially ate
The whole friggin house
Name it, I ate it
I may have eaten my spouse
Next will be my son
Cute, small and tasty
I’m an eating machine
Run for your safety
Three minutes to go
Until it’s midnight
Is that when the eating is over?
One.
Last.
Bite.

Extreme girl
Creating a
Crazy world
Illuminated and
Dressed to twirl
Nervously she
Twists her curl
Breathing and
Trying not to whirl
Go
Go
Unfurl
Operation 365 Poem: day 303…Side to Side
Posted: November 26, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: 365, Acting, Actor, Actress, Anastassiou, operation 365, Poem, poetry, side to side, Zoe, Zoe Anastassiou Leave a commentSide to Side
Like a ball
You can bounce
Back and forth
Throw it hard
Down south
Returns up north
Never staying
In one place
For long enough
Feeling dizzy
Tennis match
Stopping’s tough
Only rest
If neutral
If I don’t hide
Until then
Wearing thin
Bouncing side to side

I was sent by an angel
To lighten up lives
To bring smiles to the grandparents
To bring joy to husbands and wives
I was sent by an angel
To be the strength that they need
To be the courage to move forward
To empower those to take lead
I was sent by an angel
To lift their chins when they’re down
To take their hands and grip tight
To pick their souls off the ground
I was sent by an angel
To tell them nothing is wrong
To reassure all choices are right
To reassure them they do belong
I was sent by an angel
To just be by their side
To fuel them with love
To ease the pain of this ride
I was sent by an angel
To lighten. And I will
To bring smiles and not frowns
To bring joy…back…to enjoy life still
Operation 365 Poem: day 301…The Moth
Posted: November 25, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: 365, Acting, Actor, Actress, Anastassiou, operation 365, Poem, poetry, the moth, Zoe, Zoe Anastassiou Leave a commentThe Moth
Someone’s coming a-knocking
I saw the moth fly in
Whether you believe in that or not
You better be ready for him
Put out the good china
Change the sheets on the bed
Primp, and press, and shine
Ignore the little devil in your head
Enjoy this feeling while it lasts
This warmth the outside seems to lack
As we don’t know how long he’s staying
Or if he’ll ever come back
You just better be ready
The doorbell will ring any minute
And then there’s no eyes but forward
So you better be in it to win it

A split second
Death beckoned
It nodded its head
I ignored it instead
I chose to breathe
I chose to believe
I trusted I was strong
Living is where I belong
It’s not my time
Death, I’m fine
I’m here because I fought
Life
Life is too short

Who do I write these for?
Who is reading?
How do I pick the topic?
Is there any meaning?
Does it confirm or deny?
Does it describe a true feeling?
Why do I do this?
Are my words misleading?
Am I hurting anyone?
Or trying to be too pleasing?
Are they child friendly?
Or should I use bleeping?
Should I even be publishing?
Or pack them away for safekeeping?
Are these my last words?
Am I disappearing?

Back
Back on the train
Off to rehearsal
Routine starts again
Gone
While I was gone
I got nothing done
I replied to no one
Now
I’m super behind
And I already was
From Greek wedding time
Need
I need to face reality
Take care of the To-Do’s
Multi-tasking is my speciality
Want
Of course I want to be
Back in the sun
Tanning in Hawaii
Left
I left everything until now
“…after the honeymoon…”
Quite an accumulated list, wow!
Breathe
I always said I can do it all
Just feeling overwhelmed
And very, very small
Me
Let’s do what I do best
Let the cold snap me back
Life is always a test
