BIOGRAPHY

I was born in Kallithea, a suburb of Athens in Greece, on April 15th 1955.
I am married having three (3) kids, two girls 19, 17 and  a boy 11 years
old.
I am working 31 years and 8 months in  Informatics.
I am teaching marcial arts and I am practicing in Joga.
I make philosophical lectures about life matters.
I am member of the International Society of Greek Writers (President Mrs
Chryssoula Varveri-Varra),
of the "ESTIA" of Nea Smyrni,
of the Spiritual Cycle of Kalitthea,
of the Arcadian Society "Kolokotronis"
and of the Society of Lefkohorians "Saint Dimitrios" of Arcadia.
God offered me some talents,like,  to write poems and stories, painting and
sculpture.
In my whole life I share all of them with people, in the name of Peace and
Love.
10 years on a daily basis via the National Greek Radio station ERA2, the
radio station "Athens 9,84" and TV stations,
and magazines.
I used to offer (free of money) my poems and life stories to other people.

I am writting in two Greek newspapers, articles and poems.

On 2004, (upon people's request) my first book  named "BREATH and AURA" was
edited.
The book was awarded with the A' price award and golden medal of literature
for 2004, by the International Society of Greek Writers.
Within 2005, in an international contest for the day of poets,
my poem "The key of night" was awarded with the A' price award by the
International Society of Greek Writers.
Also my poem "Mother" was awarded with the A' price award by the
International Academy "Godess Athaena",
in the contest for the day of "Mother".
Three others books of mine are going to be edited, the following,
"What my solve do you desire today?", poetry,
"Breaths of myth", poetry,
"Non sunset moons, egressed stories", stories.
The Greeks living in Canada honored me by creating a site for me, in their
site of literature,

I declare for myself that I am simply, a "student of life".

"Who speak about peace through ages on earth?
Who suffer when their voices are not acceptable by the human beings hearts?
Perhaps the, "dream charmers",..........."


           The dream charmers

by Takis Ioannides 

             Poets ,
             I tell you, are oceans,
             their booming voices,
             drown out the winds,
             they are both ebb and flow,
             cloudy sky and starry sky,
             cleared of rage,

            poets,
            tread mountain tops like eagles,
            they are the sparkle
            of human fate,
            the wandering joys
            and sorrows,
            the sounds
            of our primordial lyre,

            poets,
            are the blood that is shed,
            when inspiration
            embroiders our reason,
            they are the fury
            and the grief that quivers,
            on the unexpected stairway
            of our existence.

            Takis Ioannides

**************************************************
"It's easy to speak about peace,
but difficult to make true something for.
Do you think that we need  of  a "starting point"............."


            The starting point...

by Takis Ioannides 

            The road we chose was long
            stretching to the horizon
            where it shimmered like
            a flickering flame

            we were asked that instant,
            to abandon something of our choosing
            be it matter or words

           Ι looked around to see
           what most people
           were leaving behind

           and then doubt-ridden,
           I sought my own councel

           some advised me
           to leave a kiss behind

           but I left behind
           my "ego"...

           Takis Ioannides

***************************************************
Peace

Let's "peace" become,
the sill of ecstasy,
the horizon in our eyes,
the flower in our heart,
the light in our solve,
the mission in our life,
the foundation of real beauty,
the real Value of our future,
the breath of our existence.

The Child’s Proposal

There up high
from the cross of sighs
sadly beckon
the gazes of children
Desire for serenity
and of the times agony
testing the line
of the holy and divine

They seek the grace
of a warm embrace
like a restless wave
a beach to pave
their soul to hold
the light of gold
granted so openly
by God Almighty


Moist and wise
the valley of eyes
crystal clear
are children’s tears
giving the sign
for thoughts divine
proposing too
love’s virtue

By Takis Ioannides

Translated from the Greek by Thalia Bisticas
Children on the Crucifix of War

At this fragile turning point in history
The anvil of evil glows so fiery
The souls of children it holds captive
casting them on flames, durst they live

On another ledge of life in desperation
Love holds out its arms in expectation
In vain, alas, o’erlooked by ranks
Which, blinded by passion, swagger and swank

Of mortals decision this vision of horror
The hearts of mothers broken by sorrow
And innocent gazes ask in wonder
Why are elders beasts tearing asunder?

By Takis Ioannides

Translated from the Greek by Thalia Bisticas

With Love and Respect
