Alter-ego Alias ergo Alibis vice versa Non-status quo Persona-non-Grata Ad hoc de facto In situ in loco Per se errata et cetera Habeas corpus scrip ex gratia Compos mentis Amor Omnia

Yes indeed...I gather that. The trouble with Latin is it is such an Inflected language. Is your poem based on an a certain individuals grappling with some sort of internal struggle that he finally resolves by unifying both body and mind? Interesting poem, John. My best regards! :) john

Sic Stet Amor - so stand love Sic may also be used derisively, to call attention to the original writer's spelling mistakes or erroneous logic Stet is a form of the Latin verb sto, stare, steti, statum,[1] originally used by proofreaders and editors
