ghosts

Posted on Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Sometimes i see ghosts. Ghosts of Christmas past… Ghosts of winters to come.
For a split second i feel i recognize them, the next moment they’re gone…
Sometimes it feels like my imagination is playing tricks on me. Sometimes it feels real. I see them on the streets, in a restaurant, on the sea shore, in my dreams. They’re part of my reality. They are images of my memories, the bitter taste of the past.

 

I see them around me, just passing by, or laughing or talking. sometimes they look through me, like i’m invisible in their world. They are the reason for a birthday cake, they are the reason i stop to buy fruits or flowers on the street.

 

They are there and they are not. Surrounding, whispering, breathing. Sometimes they warm my soul, sometimes they send icy stings through my skin. I close my eyes, breath in and when i open them again they’re gone. Like a bad dream they vanish and what’s i see are just the simple things around me that remained from them.

I had to come again to the Black Sea shore to relize it.

And it is not about the color of the sea, although i preffer the dark clear blue around santoroni or the emerald green near skiathos.

It is about the filthy sand, the chairs on the beach which are soooo many and so close to one another that i don’t think they could have inserted one more.

I am talking about the smells of food, bombarding you on the promenade.

I am talking about parking your car 1 km from the hotel…and it is only friday. I wonder where will all the people that come from Bucharest on the weekend will park???

I am talking about the shitty terraces with sky skraper prices and lousy food and service. God i miss those greek taverna owners always being in the middle of the restaurant, taking care of thei customers. Romanian owners would never ever… They have too much stupid self-esteem.

I am talking about the awfull comunist era remainings of hotels with prices that would make some nice 3* hotels on the greek shore to go hide.

And i am talking about Mamaia, the pearl of the black sea shore resorts in Romania… Worse than Paralia Katerini…

yeap…Long live the Romanian sea shore. I miss Greece so much!!!
