Farewell Poetrysoupers

For two magnificent years I have sailed Over the Inspiration’s divine sea Enjoying the sights of many beauties That poetry offered to you and me 2. However the time has for me arrived For my soul some relaxation to seek To ponder, to fancy and to aspire Till this horrifying storm becomes weak 3. First of all I would love so much to say To all my honest friends a huge “Thank you” For honoring my poems with comments And adorning them with their loving view 4. Certainly all of you will be missing, But mainly those with pure love in their heart For they are both honest and devoted, So hard will be for me from them to part 5. Farewell to all you Poetrysoupers Regardless if you loved or hated me For because of you I have written Words that of some value might be. © Demetrios Trifiatis 18 APRIL 2014 PS: HAPPY EASTER TO ALL! *If we wish, God our Lord, to spare our planet and us then we have to give Him a hand!

I promise to take care, with the help of our Lord, and try to be happy as much as a mortal can be! You are not the only one to be sad for my heart is not ignorant to sadness, however, your words have touched me and I thank you for your kindness and generous comment!

Dear Demetrios: So sad to read this poem. Thank you for your kind comments these few weeks that I've been on PoetrySoup. Wishing you all the best in your journey. If you can, please take a look at my poem "Endymion" which is based on a Greek myth? God bless you my friend. All the best then. Leon

Goodbyes are always sad, especially when we are not going to see that person again. I was just able to get back into Poetry Soup today. You were one person that made a difference here. I do wish you could stay, because you are a life time member. I wish you the best in whatever you do and wherever you go... Lucy

Demetrios Trifiatis
Date: 4/21/2014 6:41:00 PM

Yes, they are dear Lucy! I wished to stay too but certain things prevented me from doing so. Thank you for your wishes and kindness. I wish you good health. You always could visit me at the FB.

INTELLIGENCE ODE TO DEMETRIOS TRIFIATIS Kind eyes peer out of pages gentle features of grace replace calculated poses touched by the sun-The sun brush-stroked color --into his cheeks and face hints of roses. And yes I believe my eyes as they report. No doubt- Obviously we have met here before.. Yet unscathed by this world We come back There could be more like us So we are here to watch and wait

Demetrios Trifiatis
Date: 4/20/2014 3:38:00 AM

Oh you noble heart, why have you wasted your superb talent of composing an ode on an old face as mine? Yet, I thank you for thinking of the soul that is hidden behind the features you mentioned above! God bless you dear Vicky!
