Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Getting Older

When 
I listen to you, my love,
Complaining that older each day you get
And
That your beauty is rapidly fading away, 
I look at you with awe 

For
 
It is only then that I realize, how much  
More rewarding,
Beauty has become to you 
With
The passing of time!

Demetrios Trifiatis October 5, 2014 at 1:01 AM Thank you my dear, Vera, for your visit and comment. You and Peter are a fine example of what I have written. May the good Lord keep you healthy and forever happy!

Andrea Dietrich October 3, 2014 at 9:15 PM This one sings to my heart since I was complaining about this sometimes in my recent poetry!! VERY lovely poetry for all women. Demetrios Trifiatis October 4, 2014 at 5:04 AM My dear, Andrea, if you were the only one to be complaining, this poem would never have been written! Think my dear that you are not getting older but that your beauty matures with the passing of time! Yes, this is written for all women, although it was inspired by the one, close to me, who was complaining! Thank you so much!

Robert Lindley October 3, 2014 at 7:22 PM Beautiful write my friend. Your wife surely sees your admiration and deep love in your writes. It is a nice way to say what every woman wants to hear from a husband she loves.. Demetrios Trifiatis October 4, 2014 at 5:08 AM Yes, she does! We, my friend, Robert, have to be appreciative for what these masterpieces of God's creation (women, wives) are doing for us and express our appreciation in the most eloquent way in words and in deeds! I know you are doing all these! Thank you for visiting and commenting!
