Poem
(Dedication: A tribute for Demetrios Trifiatis, my Greek friend, a gentleman. Thank you. We will sorely miss your company here at the PoetrySoup haven. Do come visit whenever you can indulge our rhymes and reasons.) ---------------------------------------- Discern and see, discern and tell; Ending feels sad, ending floods pain; Mind now sets free, mind words that dwell; Embrace the glad, embrace the rain. Touch of sure rhymes, touch of true friends; Rich recall stays, rich gestures live; Invite old times, invite fond blends; Opt to delay, opt to retrieve; Such special chimes, such poetry grand. Trust has a name, trust has a friend; Reap what you sow, reap what you earn; Indulge fine blame, indulge fond trends; Free voice we know, free poise we yearn. Inspire and sing, inspire and match; Active your tact, active your will; Thoughts that you bring, thoughts that you catch; In simple acts, in subtle fill; See you in spring, see you detached. Rest well my friend, rest in grand light; Empty this site, empty this soup; That Grecian blend, that Grecian flight; Ink now recites, ink PoetrySoup; Reach out to hurl, reach out to swing; Echoes we write, echoes now droop; Sad speeding twirl, sad sorry sling. Next movement here, next stormy feel; Open hearts dear, open minds still; We wait on cheer, we wait your fill. Go sail your way, go find your niche; Offer your zest, offer your zeal; Note your fond days, note your fine reach; Ever the best, ever the feel. Leon Enriquez 20 Apr 2014 (on Easter Sunday) Singapore
