Replying to a comment on:

Thracian mountains until the Sea (Ode) by Shardik

In the woods that bore me. The lyre, with flute, that brought me up. To sing the songs of olde. Collecting moisture in God's cup. A lover's muse needs chasing. Through thick, heath, and grove all day. Because, life's to short for wasting. On Kings that need more pawns to play. So I strum my chords for living. To drink, and dance, then fish the Sea. These things should be a given. But men will never let this be. Your fear of death will trick you. It'll make you lie, and cheat, or harm. But must you feel the need too, trade your honey for their swarm? The race of men shall always repeat the past then fall asleep. Right up until our final days. I pray the lord my soul to keep. Sleepwalking paths overgrown, now alone. You came here as one, and not a soul more. Yet, you fight to regain youth with a moan. Missing the root, ignoring your core.

Yes I've been there, twice, nice try though! You must think because I wasn't there while we got to know each other last year for a whole three months that was my only window of travel opportunity? I lived in Amsterdam for two months when I was 24, I went then, twice. But mostly island hopping, my family is from Thrace though Tanya. I have a famous greek uncle who writes illustrated books about birds. So, yes, there, and France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Hungary, Prague and quite a few others, so do me a favor, get another abortion on me. Tell them to increase the suction this time, to eleven, which is one more than ten in case your baffled these days by simple arithmetic.
