Happy Birthday, Demetrios Trifiatis - Eileen Manassian's Blog

About Eileen Manassian

I guess you could say I'm a citizen of the world. I've traveled....and I've lived parts of my life in Iran, Lebanon, the US, and Cyprus. I am proud of my Armenian heritage. I was born in Tehran, Iran and soon after that, my family went to the States for my dad to work on his MA degree and many years later, to work on his Ed.D. I have a lot of the Middle East and the West in me, and at times....I feel confused about my identity. I do, however, cling to my Armenian roots and am outspoken about recognition by the world of the Armenian Genocide that took place over 100 years ago.

Since my parents had no common language, the language spoken in our home was English. Yes, I am most fluent in English, and I think, dream, and converse in that language, though I do speak 5 other languages to varying degrees! :)

I am melancholy/sanguine by nature and feel everything very keenly. My highs are SUPER HIGH...and my lows...SUPER LOW! I guess you could say...I'm INTENSE. I'm passionate about poetry to the point of obsession.

The events that have colored my life are the death of my mother due to MS and the war in Lebanon. As a child, it was hard for me to come to grips with the fact that my mother was ill, and to see her go from being a vibrant, well-loved teacher to a wheelchair bound, isolated woman was a very harrowing experience. I do believe, though, that there is a resurrection day and that, by His grace, I will see my Mama fully restored...free of wheelchair, able to sing, laugh, and smile again. The war in Lebanon...bombs landing all around, nights spent in bomb shelters.. has also scarred me to some degree.

What I'm most proud of? That would be my daughter...Shereen Natalie Ghali. She is the light of my life. Her name in Farsi means SWEET! :)

Currently, I teach English at Middle East University in Beirut, Lebanon. Poetry Soup has been a haven for me....most of the time! ;) I've developed amazing friendships here that are very genuine and real. My dream is to one day have my name on a volume of poetry! One can always dream....Thank you for making the effort to get acquainted. God bless!


 


Happy Birthday, Demetrios Trifiatis

Dear Soupers,

 

I hope you will take a moment to visit Demetrios Trifiatis to wish him Happy Birthday. smiley

He has been a continual source of support and care, and I'm sure you too are blessed by his poems which are always a call to live a better more caring and virtuous life. He also brings us joy by posting pics of the beautiful flowers in his garden. 

 

Happy birthday, my dear esteemed poet. My God grant you the desires of your heart even as you place your hope in him.

Xronia Pola!!! Me agapi panta!

Thanks, Sis. Demi and I go a long way. Once I saw his name....I knew he was GREEK, and I love Greek, so I befriended him. His wisdom is always a source of comfort to me, as is his friendships. Hugs, dear one. Thanks for stopping by.

Demetrios I just want to say that it was a special day when you were born. You bring us so much joy by your thoughts inspired by God. You are a gentleman and a special friend. Your garden is beautiful but not as beautiful as the beauty that lies in your heart. God bless you and thank you Eileen for posting.
