Anselmo Boles Poet Rhyme

Lament of a Fallen Peaceful Warrior

Lament Of A Fallen Peaceful Warrior


              Dreamt as I hover amongst the distant stars I never existed
              No hands or feet or words of regret discernibly heard or said

                                             ----------------------

              Wisdom in absence fail to disallow peace to vanish in thin air
              Frenzied voices roar aloud while impregnable walls shattered
              In clandestine dungeons hidden tears accrued to gun powder
              Explodes like thunder for promises of love eventually faltered

              Most chauvinistic of senses heart of virtuousness admonishes
              Bares distended egos of men claiming their cruelest conquest
              Power and greed and envy amass even in gravity free spaces
              Truly mesmerized by immoral desire to suffocate the weakest

              Tried to escape bloody scenes of war which makes skin quiver
              Restraining enduring wrath for revenge to punish the evil doer
              Beneath burial ground where cold eroding bones in solitude be
              Justice shifting dark to light these eyes are not destined to see

                                               ----------------------

              Within this endless void I aimlessly probe for ultimate meaning
              An impalpable force caresses this lost spirit crying for the living

Sotto Poet July 31, 2022 at 4:36 PM While you are sailing in the Mediterranean, you have written some nice and deeply philosophical thoughts. I think a lot of good quality olive oil come from there. You have used a lot of great and wonderful metaphors throughout your writing, Anselmo. Thanks for your comment on my page. Anselmo Boles August 1, 2022 at 8:37 AM Thanks Lasaad, great to hear from you. Yes, the Greeks and the Italians produce some of the best olive oil in the world. My cruise will be headed to Israel in 4 days and will begin our cruises from Haifa, Israel from then on. Keep writing your wonderful poems!...ab

Jenna Logan July 14, 2022 at 6:39 AM With you, my eyes long to see something other than war, death and morbidity, but you're right in that it's not for the dead that we should cry. I hope you're not spending all of your time at sea writing about the sadness in the world. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. She's a fine vessel. Anselmo Boles July 14, 2022 at 6:55 AM Hi Jenna, thank you for your thoughts! I actually always have a great time cruising the Med or the world for that matter, it just happened that we are near Ukraine and have Ukrainians on board and somehow their presence triggered something strong. Yes, I can sense that you are a very positive spirit, and I do try to be the same in all aspects. I really appreciate your visit! Stay happy...ab
