Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

The Message

The wind I asked,
A message of my love for you to carry 
And with its sweet breeze, I begged, the softest of
Kisses on your enviable lips from me to place, 
A reminder to you that 
Your presence I miss, your love and 
Your affection 
While dreaming of your blessed 
Return. 
 
The wind,
Eager to please,
Opened its lofty wigs and flew to all 
Directions,  
Searching for you everywhere, my urgent 
Message to deliver 

The time passed,
Waiting became unbearable as hours, days and months, 
Declined to advance 
So  
Autumn wind brought no reply
Neither did that of winter’s or that 
Of spring’s 

Then
The summer came and with it, the 
Long-awaited wind, finally, arrived
But  
The breeze I had once sent, unrecognizable, had 
Now returned: 
A howling hurricane  
For 
You, my love, had my kiss 
Rejected!

Anne-Lise Andresen September 19, 2014 at 3:31 AM - Wait so long .... and receive a rejection - Touching and beautiful, my friend Demetrios - I wish you a nice weekend - oxox // Anne-Lise :) Demetrios Trifiatis September 19, 2014 at 4:10 AM I think you would agree, my dear Anne Lise, that love should not be a fast lane process for we see the results! On the other hand I am a hard-dying romantic and give the "wine" time to mature! Thank you so much! Have a wonderful weekend in the countryside!

Dr.Ram Mehta September 19, 2014 at 1:33 AM This reminds of a Sanskrit poem by Kalidas, "The Meghdoot" meaning The Cloud messenger sending his message through clouds to his beloved like you are sending message through the wind. Demetrios Demetrios Trifiatis September 19, 2014 at 1:58 AM Dr. Ram, although I ignore the poem you are referring to, I am not surprised, for Heraclitus, the Greek philosopher had said that those who speak the truth speak the same language, regardless of space and time. Since love is a universal truth then it is normal to be repeated. Thank you, Dr. Ram for bringing this to my attention, I feel happy that I had the same inspiration as great Kalidas
