Paphos is a city on the southwest coast of Cyprus, the Mediterranean island. Inhabited since Neolithic times, Paphos has several sites relating to the cult of the goddess Aphrodite, whose mythical birthplace was at Old Paphos (Kouklia).

“The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea” Isak Dinesen

Water

The water spitting seal
Made out of steel
It’s teeth will reveal
Mouth agape
It takes its shape
Against the landscape

“This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can’t see how deep it is” Dennis Rodman

Water

In the deep blue pool
There are no rules
Just dive in, like a fool

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water” Rabindranath Tagore

Water 

When you take a dip into the cool ocean
Your body’s surrounded by nature’s lotion
While your mind fills up with pure emotion

Cats and Dogs
Put them in a box
What secrets untold
Before you unfold
When the box is opened
Only keep hoping
There is no other agenda
Are they friends or enemies
Or just plain frenemies
That is the age old dilemma
Of Cats and Dogs
