Heart

I left my heart in Thessaloniki;
I left my love by the Aegean Sea. 
What in the world, 
what in the world,
is happenin' to me?

Petermannchen Handed Me Over His Bunch of Key

Petermännchen handed me over his bunch of key
Hugged me and sent me to the east Aegean sea
There I found a bold golden bull
He was chewing Apollo's tool
He swooshed open his drool I forgot how to pee

Premium Member did I dream this up

Meg, rainbow mermaid girl of the Aegean Sea
Do you remember little ole me?
I was the one you saved one day in May
You pushed a shark out of the way

I thought I was a goner but there you were
all rainbow bright, young, innocent and pure
I wonder sometimes if I dreamed this up, Meg
Then I look at the shark bite on my leg

Premium Member Sunny Islands of Greece

Winter’s chill pierces my frail heart My shallow breath could cease, Ere spring arrives, I may depart For the sunny islands of Greece. Beautiful Kythira Cenozoic era Lovely riviera I dream of the Aegean Sea, Winter’s chill so depresses me.

For the Memories

I used to wander through the olive groves
in the days when I was younger
sitting outside in the shade to eat
while Granddad chatted in the street
familiar words not quite understood
I stayed all summer just because I could
swimming in the beautiful Aegean sea
I was as happy as I could be
memories of those days gone by
I look at the old photo's -with a sigh.

Afraid To Venture

They used to say when would my adventures end
for by plane or boat I sought to find home
discover new things- see if they fitted
Now I am afraid- COVID19 did this to me
my beloved Greece awaits me with open arms
but I fear it
I dream of the Aegean sea and it calls me
of the sounds and smells of its Islands
but I fear it
wait for me beloved home
one day I will return

Premium Member Shame of Humanity

Aylan's little body, has been drowned

His soul in heavens, bitter was found

As humanity for certain, feels no shame

For noone is ready, to take the blame.*



(C) Demetrios Trifiatis
     04 September 2015


* Tribute to the little Kurdish boy (3 year old) that was drowned in the Aegean sea, along with his mother (27) and older brother (5)  during his family's effort to reach Greece.

Premium Member An Inviting Table With a Pink Chair

The pink hallways led us down to the sea
We could not jump from the last step
But I could have dived in and I might have loved it
Unfortunately, I was not wearing my swimming suit

There was an inviting table with a pink chair.
I sat, enjoying the ambiance of the pretty water
No water is as blue or as sparkling as the Aegean Sea of Greece
I sat for a time, enjoying a luxurious caramel coffee.

Une Barque Sur L'Ocean

The sparkling melody mirrors the waves
Of the peaceful Aegean Sea.
With notes floating to my rousing mind,
Sailing boats is all I see. 

With winds flowing, boats sail forward
Towards cliffs of jagged rock,
From the town on the bluff I watch
Boats drift towards the dock.

That's the scene I always see
Hearing Ravel’s boat on the sea.
The memory is recalled so simply,
My summer in Santorini.

Premium Member Mermaids' Omen

There once were mermaids hailing from Crete
The Aegean Sea they'd rule so sweet
        They'd enchant with their chant
        Dull the rant when heard 'can't'
For them not a match was Hercules' fleet

The sea'd get wild and tumultuous
The men unruly rambunctious
        With strength superhuman
        Hercules 'gainst omen
Down went the men less than virtuous

Premium Member Santorini

Santorini, a stand out beauty, a splendor in the sea, a semicircular
Cycladic island in the Southern Aegean Sea with dramatic caldera
landscape so unique, crescent shaped, offering breathtaking views. 
The famous whitewashed homes, structures with some featuring
glowing blue domes, cliffs falling into the blue crystal clear waters
of Aegean Sea, spectacular sunsets of dazzling kaleidoscope of colors.
Sadly, located at a fault zone with tectonic activity causing tremors.

Chelynne's Book

Sand between my toes I've saved
along with flowers pressed
A tortoise shell of black and green
from when I lived out west
On my desk I even hold
a ruby found in ancient Rome
and opal shells made just for me
from snails I met in the Aegean Sea
But what I hold dear to my heart
comes clear the best in ink
So I seal them down indelible
and kiss them with a wink
I hold them here inside this book
along with thoughts of you
For, sister, you and I are one
instead of only two...

The Olive Tree

The greatest of all the trees 
if pressed would be the olive tree.
Surely, created by mother nature.
At a place where the Aegean Sea,
stretches out to meet the land of Crete.
Nature has bestowed upon her a majestic tree 
with a warm climate with rich fertile lands.
And crowned her with the sun.
And bathed her with the sea,
Nurturing the soul of the olive tree.
A wonderful gift to mankind and yet,
It was puzzling to his mind but over time,
He discovered the worth of the olive tree.
