Eva Petropoulou Lianou’s poems reveals like pages of a deeply personal, emotional journey, one that touches on love, loss, forgiveness, and the aching beauty of human contradiction. In You, love becomes both cosmic and painfully intimate. It is a longing for a soul that once crossed paths with the speaker, a yearning stitched with mystery, distance, and the quiet acceptance of impossibility. The poem reads like a constellation of moments never shared, dreams half-lived, yet held dearly as truth. In Forgiveness, the voice rises with spiritual intensity, pleading not for human understanding, but for divine mercy. It becomes a prayer of a soul suspended between heaven and earth, stripped of all but vulnerability, seeking peace through transcendence. And in We Have Asked, the poet steps into the collective voice of humanity, disillusioned yet awake. It is a cry against forgetting, a call to remember kindness in a world preoccupied with power and destruction. Each poem stands alone, yet together they form a compelling narrative of existence: we love and lose, we break and mend, we ask for light in dark places. Eva’s words invite us into that fragile, persistent search for connection, grace, and meaning.
You
You,
That the face I did not see for years
You
U are the most amazing being
But cannot touch
You,
The beauty is hiding in small pieces in your body and mind.
You,
I can explain why
But i know my what
You
That one-day u crossed my path
Forces of love or passion touched me
Without reason
I am looking for the east
U are looking for the west
Miracles happens every day
You
A passion I can live in a privately moment
Love I give
Love will never be understood
You...
In another space of galaxy
You
My ideal
My secret Garden
You
The moments I never had.
You
The distance between two countries
A bridge i will try to build to reach you.

Forgiveness
A word that is coming out from the brave heart
I am not asking to forgive as a Human
I am asking to forgive as a GOd
As HE has the kindness and the generosity to see the human 's mistake.
I am asking to forgive not a as a man
But as An Angel that every day and night
Is traveling from Earth to sky....
I don't need any paper
Green or blue
I saw your heart
You had it there in front of me...
I understand that silence
That silver silence
I am damned in sky and earth...
I am just a soul traveling alone..
Seeking for forgiveness

We have asked
We have asked not to be forgotten....
But we forget to live
We forget to love
We forget to say hello and thank you to people they were there for us!!
We asked to be patient
We have asked to be kind
But they never teach us about the selfish person
The evil people
They are snakes, they are among us
That are waiting for our moments
The small moments
To come
And destroy
We have asked to believe in ourselves
We have asked to be positive
But they never explained that
We will be the only that we must do that
As people are occupied with make war
Make money
Have power
I do what they asked but i walk forgotten....
In the battlefield...
