Get the Horses
Get the horses; we may depart
From the chaos of the times, of this legend.
Heads of blood, and everything of play,
Were disappearing as the need was a success.
Because their magic lasted,
We announced ourselves,
Requiring them to teach a lesson,
Surprising us in the first place.
We laughed, a heartfelt laugh that
Warmed the acre of blood,
Needing our explosions of hate;
Interesting and painful was the lesson.

The Gods Do Not Intervene
The battle between Athens and Sparta lasted a lifetime and more.
Men who ate lentils
Were not interfeared with by any gods,
Said Thucydides,
who is the father of scientific history.
He did not outlive his own battle,
Dying suddenly by an iron sword.
His blood spurted on his pages,
But most were saved. If one reads Greek,
One can smell,
On the pages
Blood and lentils and pointed iron. And read the first truth about the horrors of war.

Your Heart Matters
Your heart carries water of fire,
This ardent organ is complete.
It is a cup so rich in taste,
My protector resides above.
With a sword the thumbs begin
To craft my skin of beauty, arousing the blood.
Bravery arrived last night for the shadows
Began definitely, with awe the points of view.
The soul mattered to me when I arrived
For the body lasted and was fresh all through.
Do not dare empty this heart in my breast,
Give the force of love a moment of joy.

The Test
I hung my verses in the wind,
Time and tide their faults may find.
All were winnowed through and through,
Five lines lasted sound and true;
Five were smelted in a pot
Than the South more fierce and hot;
These the siroc could not melt,
Fire their fiercer flaming felt,
And the meaning was more white
Than July's meridian light.
Sunshine cannot bleach the snow,
Nor time unmake what poets know.
Have you eyes to find the five
Which five hundred did survive?

Coming Back To You
i may have betrayed you
for a time
on that long waiting
a waiting that has lasted
for quite long
when the path has not flowered
my steps back
to you
but i shall compensate for the
lost moments
here i am back to your bosom
my fingers shall sow some petals
of words
that you really miss
this kiss

On Himself
A wearied pilgrim I have wander'd here,
Twice five-and-twenty, bate me but one year;
Long I have lasted in this world; 'tis true
But yet those years that I have lived, but few.
Who by his gray hairs doth his lustres tell,
Lives not those years, but he that lives them well:
One man has reach'd his sixty years, but he
Of all those three-score has not lived half three:
He lives who lives to virtue; men who cast
Their ends for pleasure, do not live, but last.

Boy And Girl
it was your basic love and death story
a boy and a girl met and thought it was going to last 4 ever
turns out nothing lasted that long
the boy left the girl claiming he no longer loved her
the girl slid down to the floor and cried until she could'nt cry any more
the girl avoided the boy no matter how much he tried to talk to her
the boy was sad. he never meant to really hurt her
but he did anyway
the girl commited suicide
the boy lived but cried until he died

One endless night
a walk that lasted forever
am i being so cleaver
running away
why should i stay
one long endless night
only guided by the stars and the moonlight
up all night for a walk
cutting through fields
around streets
around trees
through woods
the only thing that keeps me sane in this night is music
my guitar
just these six strings
should i ever go back
one long endless night

The silent lips
lasted
for a decade
until the silent
break out
into explosion, the hour
comes to judgment
that captures the whole
pond of
beauty
idyllic
desire hold
the pondering bits of
joy,
wonder by every heart, of
what comes first
if
the sky has no stars, for
where the twinkling rays
spark there

Contrasts 07
The sky grew dark quite suddenly.
As from the west a massed array
of dark storm clouds which completely
obscured the light: Made night of day.
The lightning flashed the thunder roared.
All natures’ fury on display,
down constantly the raindrops poured
as if to wash all grime away.
An unexpected thunderstorm
which lasted but a little while.
Before the sun returned to warm
us with his all embracing smile.
Somewhat like life the weather is
it’s either misery or bliss.
