The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 21, 22 and 23

Part Twenty-One — Saeed's Supplication to God

One day with flute and mournful song,
Saeed began a prayer so long.

His patience broke, he lost his hold,
His heart grew weary, tired, and cold.

Disheartened by both friend and kin,
Sorrow consumed his soul within.

He turned toward the starlit sky
And raised to heaven his mournful cry:

"O Lord, Creator of all worlds,

Il Suicidio Di Dio, 22-02-2012

…

Vi racconterò una storia triste,
ma purtroppo necessaria:
tratta di colui che animò la terra
soffiandoci dentro dell’aria.

Nel suo progetto
ci avrebbe reso gli esseri supremi.
Non sapeva l’avremmo tradito
diventando gli esseri più estremi.

È bello sentirsi Dei;
soprattutto se si è pochi e meschini:
Lui ci ha creato il mondo
e noi abbiamo creato i confini.

L’hanno sostituito.
Dicevano di parlare in sua vece.
E non

Young on a Dirt Road

Black top was miles and miles away
Dirt road as far as you could see
The future just a minute away
Was everything you wanted it to be
Taking our time but not slowing down
Heads in the clouds, bare feet on the ground
Up with the sun, chasing the moon around
Dirt road living with a real country sound
The black top

Catch 22

The beginning
of the end
The end
of the beginning
To look
and not see
A desperate
path

To start
what can’t finish
Destroying
tomorrow
When eyes
remain closed
The future
— uncast

22 ( 26 Years Ago)
 Stay hungry even if you're not ready.
 It’s you vs you everyday.
 Keep pushing for stronger results.
 Moving forward to reach your goals.
 The drive started when I was 22.
 Back then I had a lot to prove.
 One compliment changed my life.
 I wasn't expecting it, what a surprise.

Rupture - Apr 22

Attempt, attempt, attempt, I try, I do,
but find success a frightful,fretful sort 
of creature.—.landing always just so short
for you,—my victories?: far less than few.

From void to verse then verse now void,—but you
reject my voice,else’y*u[ / , u ]d*stort
it, and to good will ill intent impart;
My inspiration, skewered by your view,

lies fallow in your lap.—Tell, what’s

Prisoner of Poetry - Mar 22

My bars the words, the prison guard my verse,
Rattling the staves of this poetic cell,
I struggle vainly, locked up in this jail. 
Yea, thus is my predicament, my curse.

Oh, how jealously, you smirking blank verse,
I look upon what freedom guides your quill;
For formal phrasing does of me compel
Stubborn structures—the styles which I rehearse. 

But, boldy

Letter from a Wishful Lover - Feb 22

To let my wanton gaze go wandering
And graze giddily your saintly silhouette,
With wonder watching you and pondering 
What wild pensées through my fancy pirouette;

To glimpse a glimmer gleaming from your gloss,
A sparkle shining gaily on your smile,
To steal the lipstick from your lips, to toss
Your weight my way, a soirée worth your while;

To feel a

God Always Requires Obedience - 1 Samuel 15: 22-23

God speaks in His word of many things
but there's one word that always repeats
showing the importance God has for it
obedience is that word He loves to greet

God is delighted when we obey Him
for obedience glorifies His mighty name
no amount of sacrifices will suffice
a humble obedient saint is His aim

God hates sin like nothing else
for disobedience

Catch 22

Catch-22

If I say I love you
I’m too possessive.
If I fail to say I love you
I’m not romantic enough.
If I work twelve-hour days
I don’t spend enough time with you.
If I only work four-hour days
I don’t show enough ambition.
If I discipline the children
I’m too harsh.
If I don’t discipline the children
I’m too lax.
If I suggest we go on
