Today is a bittersweet day for her Danae Barka as four years ago today a very dear person passed away.
THE Kiki Dimoulas she breathed her last on February 22, 2020 at the age of 89 and left us as a legacy a priceless gift…her poems.
Danai Barka recalls the moments she lived with Kiki Dimoula
The presenter-actress and the late poet had a very special relationship and as Danai Barka herself has mentioned, she loved the poet like her grandmother.
“4 years without. The people who raised us are leaving and we don’t grow up as nicely anymore.” wrote Danai Barka in her photo.
And he shared the story behind this particular shot stating: “Here on a dinner date I tried to take a picture and she was whispering jokes to me.”
Danae Barka responded with a story about how she reacts to toxic people
In 2018, Kiki Dimoula and her daughter made a rare public appearance, attending the premiere of the show “Urania”, at Theater 104, where Danai Barka starred.
Danai Barka had previously explained through her Instagram-stories that the late poet did not leave her last poems as a legacy (as was wrongly written in some media) but had made a dedication to her in one of the many books she gave her occasionally.
“Because there has been a lot of reproduction, I would beg to clarify that at no time did my beloved Kiki Dimoula, whom I actually had as my grandmother due to our family relationship, bequeath me her poems. This is one of her many dedications to the books she always gave me. Let us respect the tremendous loss and be discreet with her family who only needs peace and love. She and her work are a legacy for all of us. Thanks”, Danae Barka wrote.
In 2020, the host of “Pame Danae” said goodbye to Kiki Dimoulas in her own special way, writing on Instagram:
“I don’t know if I’m crying more because of sadness that you left or if I’m crying because of joy that I had you in my life ???? “Deeply available in excellent condition, and spacious cul-de-sac. At bargain prices. Unexploited and fertile land is sold in the absence of luck and disposition. And time completely wasted. Information: Offline”
Our Kiki ♥️”.

5 poems by Kiki Dimoulas that will make you think
INCOMPATIBLE
All my poems about spring
they stay endlessly.
It’s because spring is always in a hurry,
it’s because my mood is always late.
That’s why I’m forced
almost every poem of mine about spring
with an autumn season
to finish
SELF PRESERVATION
It must have been spring
because this memory
he comes leaping over poppies.
Except for nostalgia
in too much of a hurry
misrecognition remembered.
They all look so alike
when destruction takes them.
But this background may be foreign,
to be borrowed poppies
from another story,
mine or someone else’s.
Reminiscence does something like that.
From filocalia and arrogance.
But it must have been spring
because I also see bees
to fly around this memory,
with care and faith
to crowd into her shell.
Unless it’s orgasm
law of the past
mechanism of the unrepeatable.
There is always something left behind
in finished things
for pollination
of experience, of sorrow
and poetry.

Facts
Alone, all alone,
I’m walking on the street
and I stumble upon great events:
The sun as if urgently summoned from the West
leaving the evening unfinished…
Soon the night
holding the amphorae of the mystery,
of its properties,
when her rhombus eye, the moon,
an unacceptable, clandestine cloud, stepped on
and blinded her.
Of this accident
benefited
some strange spy
-at midnight they suspect-
the universe fired
and left it still…
After such events,
the fact that I am alone again
omitted.
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE
Loneliness does well
poor but honest.
But she is sleeping
and on the other hand the moderate if.
Only sometimes
he seduces her into experiments
the curiosity
– ofis preceding
and more fanatical
from the boiling water of that apple tree.
Try it, he tells her, don’t be afraid
you have nothing to lose
and he convinces her
to curl up tightly
to rub on a cat imperceptibly
on the available air
where you leave passing by.
A much more solitary pleasure
from her deprivation.
ZERO STAR COGNAC
The words of the tears are completely lost.
When disorder speaks, order is silent
– there is great experience in loss.
Now we have to stand on the side
of the unprofitable.
Little by little her memory is telling her to find again
to give good longevity advice
in what has died.
Let’s stand by this little girl
Photography
which is still in the prime of its future:
young helpless little embraced
in front of an anonymously cheerful beach.
Nafplio Euboia Skopelos;
You will say
and where there was no sea then.
