When I Am Gone

When I am gone my dearest friends, please, Linger for a while Till You hear the sound, of my soul’s footsteps, Entering the door of life! © Demetrios Trifiatis 30 JANUARY 2015 * I am sorry to have caused concerns over my well being, I am fine and I intend to stay here as long as the Good Lord allows me to. I just write what I am inspired! Thank you!

I am still here, sire, waiting till you come back. While you are unable to, I will from time to time visit your previous words, like this one. I am assured however, of your well-being, whenever I see your smiling face online. Be blessed, for you are a blessing. Kim

My dear, Eve, Infinity + 1= infinity! Infinity + 100= infinity! Infinity + 1000 = infinity! For God (Infinity) for any plus number the same result brings! Yes, we the mortals, of course see the difference but what if we too are infinite, since God is within us? Thank you for your wishes for as a human I appreciate it!

You are forbidden to say things like that! In case it happens though, there is going to be a multitude of people (mostly men) who will be lingering over you that I doubt there will be any space left for me to... linger! Ha-ha! IT IS FORBIDDEN TO GO FIRST!

Hello Demetrios! Are you really okay? I really hope youre okay.What's all this about when you're gone my dearest friend ? Not for another 20 years at least you won't.I am just praying that is only your golden pen that made you write this epigram so beautiful but so sad. A solid 7 from me! Have a very lovely day! God bless you!:) Love and hugs! xxxoxxoxxxxox D. ^O^

Whenever the Good Lord decides, I am ready! Life never ends therefore there is nothing for me to worry about. Yes, 20 sounds good as long as I am healthy, although I had in mind 20 ++, ha-ha! Thank you for your visit and for your concern dear, Dorian. God bless you!
