A Tribute To Demetrios Trifiatis

Wisdom and philosophy Peeks at immortality Passion’s sensuality Questions of morality All found in his poetry Demetrios Words that skip and words that dance All embellished with romance Leaving nothing to mere chance Making hearts just simply prance Demetrios Of all the Greeks a true Greek Mighty of men, never weak Fine Orator, let him speak His wisdom you’re bound to seek Demetrios Eileen Manassian Ghali
