Gorgon
standing at the edge of time
only sure of it's last breathe
No fight here in between the sheets of urban meth
Fighting with no weapons except Alla gator bite words
From Queen to king torn policies on structured kin
But in the night of surrender true to vacant calls of leanna
At cost to pen my cosmic friend turn ghostly, turned alien call me crazy call my words ripe for the picking
What peyote dreams out does kind with a potion of pair of dice
A sea of cacti lent
That frequency matches the tide that pounding wave of goodbye
When is done Gorgon eats city and towns
Ashore no more and little town of nodders and street hustlers what of me paradigm ends
Anchors away to that day
Saying Goodbye to gravity

Lying face down, in snow and mud,
A tragic tale, soaked with blood.
The cost of war, a heavy toll,
Leaving hearts burdened, with sorrow's role.
A thief of hopes, elusive and sly,
Dashing dreams, leaving hearts to sigh.
Promises broken, futures dashed,
War's bitter aftermath, deeply thrashed.
An ashtray of illusions, deceptive and frail,
Chasing false perceptions, a tempting tale.
A toll too heavy, a price too high,
For humanity's sake, let's question why.

Sensuality is in the movements, the glances shared,
In the timbre of the voice, a magic that's rare,
It's in the wrinkles, and scars, with pride,
Worn with a special chic, a confident stride.
For sexuality is a force, a magnetic pull,
A captivating energy that makes hearts full,
It's a spark that ignites, a fire that burns,
A sensuous rhythm, a dance that yearns.
It's a lifestyle, a way of living with zest,
A celebration of desires, fully expressed,
It's owning your body, your mind, and your heart,
Embracing your sensuality, a work of art.
Let’s embrace sexuality, without hesitation,
For it's a natural part of human creation,
A gift to be cherished, a power within,
A symphony of joys that's yours to begin.

War drums beat with patriotic zeal,
Heroic soldiers stand to defend and heal.
International aid flows to the scene,
As gruesome media images paint a scene.
Smart bombs and bullets rain from the sky,
More soldiers sent to fight and die.
But when will this cycle come to an end?
When will peace and diplomacy finally blend?
The beauty of spring, with its budding flowers,
Is marred by the violence, that takes hold for hours.
The hope for tomorrow, seems so far away,
As the cost of war, rises with each passing day.
Families torn apart, homes destroyed,
Amidst the rubble, the world is devoid.
Who will pay for this destruction and strife?
More money flows, but corruption thrives.
The cycle of war and destruction goes on,
As we search for a way to break the bond.
It's time to embrace peace and reconstruction,
And put an end to this cycle of destruction.

Christians once sacrificed their own,
To the God of Love, like pagans known,
Burning heretics, they claimed divine,
Killing their own in a holy shrine.
Those who fought for freedom's call,
Claiming Christian values above all,
Killed their own in cold bloodshed,
Replacing faith with "nation" instead.
Those who send us to war, with hate and fear,
Are not Christian, nor human, but profiteers,
Forcing the poor to meet their end,
Calling it justice, a moral trend.
And oftentimes, the word "justice" they use,
Substituting love, for violence they choose,
Replacing truth with words that sound,
A heartless scheme, worth millions of pounds.
The Crucified Risen, came to say,
There's only love, in a world astray,
Only love can conquer violence and strife,
Bringing peace and hope, to all of life.

Today the bomb went off in the city,
Shattering my peace and bringing pity,
The neighboring building, now a ruin,
Burning possessions, a heartbreaking tune.
Roofs crashed down, walls destroyed,
Innocent lives caught in the void,
Screams for help, hands in the air,
A tragedy that's too much to bear.
The birds still sing, the cats still purr,
The flowers bloom, with a gentle stir,
And in these simple joys we find,
A solace, in our troubled minds.
Hope and dreams are still alive,
Despite the war, we still survive,
The scars of war, etched deep and wide,
Will heal in time, with love and pride
Writers and artists, still create,
To show the world, there's more than hate.
For though the world may seem so torn,
We'll keep on living, and be reborn.

An outright defeat in Ukraine
May spell doom for Russian reign
It means more than political gain
We refuse to let hatred sustain
Fear the indifferent, for they allow
The worst atrocities to happen right now
We cannot turn a blind eye
To the suffering of those who cry
Let us stand up for what we believe
And do our part to ensure that we achieve
A world where justice and peace prevail
And where every human life can truly avail.

In war, there is no noble death,
Just pain and sorrow with each breath.
I perished in a tragic way,
No bravery or courage on display.
My body, once whole, now torn apart,
A lifeless piece of burned-up art.
I cry and scream, but no one hears,
No one to soothe my dying fears.
My dreams and hopes now left behind,
To sacrifice for stupid pride
No chance to live to dream or love
No chance to say a last goodbye
What was the purpose of this fight,
That robbed me of my chance at life?
Why did I have to pay the price,
And be statistic in their dice?
My death was senseless, cruel and grim
My mind now lost, my light grows dim
My heart now aches with this regret,
As I leave this world with much unsaid
I now died….

Watching from above, the world looks small
But the pain and the suffering, can be felt by all
In Ukraine and beyond, wars rage on
And innocent lives are forever gone
Stop the senseless violence and bloodshed
This war has left too many dead
The cost of war, we cannot measure
A world in chaos, that we cannot treasure
This war's reach has gone too far
Beyond two nations, a global scar
All nations must make a choice
To listen to reason or drown in noise
Watching from above, I see a better tomorrow
If we hold on to hope, and banish all sorrow.
We need visionaries, not just leaders
Who can stop this war, be peace-seekers

Amidst peace's promises, war's horrors remain,
Spring brings new life, but love feels in vain.
Lost souls wander, searching for hope,
Pain and heartache, a never-ending slope.
When does it end, this cycle of strife?
When will we lay down our weapons and knives?
Can love conquer all, and heal our wounds?
Or will we be doomed to eternal ruins?
The answer lies not in the hands of fate,
But in the choices we make, before it's too late.
Let peace and love guide our hearts and minds,
And leave war and pain, far behind.

Amami ora mentre
Posso ricambiare il tuo amore
Amami ora quando, a mio agio
Posso accendere e spegnere il fuoco della lanterna
Amami ora mentre, di nuovo
Posso espirare, inspirare e respirare facilmente
Amami ora mentre
Vedo chiaramente la tua bellezza
Non aspettare domani o un altro giorno
Quando non riesco più a vedere l'arcobaleno transitorio
Quando non posso più camminare da solo sul marciapiede
Quando non riesco a sentire la freschezza del mattino
Non amarmi solo a San Valentino
Ma anche quando devio erroneamente
Amami ora o mai più
In modo che io possa essere benedetto e fortunato senza fine
Non importa il mio stato d'animo o il mio umore
Non smettere di essere docile e gentile
Alla mia anima, al mio cuore
E al mio corpo, prima di salutarmi.
PS Traduzione di "Love Me Now Or Never".

Bautismo
Es hora de vivir
Es tiempo de morir
Au revoir a cada mentira egoísta
Y mientras el agua se lava limpia
La piedra cubierta de musgo
Mi corazon ha sido
Me siento renovado
Siento la esperanza
Ya no manos ciegas que tantean
En la oscuridad
Ahora el futuro es brillante
Mi alma se ha vuelto hacia la luz
Y mientras me ahogo
A todo el pasado
Los escombros que amontonó mi corazón
Como Cristo dentro de mi
Todos pueden ver ...
Convirtiéndome en quien estoy destinado a ser
Conozco este símbolo de la tumba
Esta vida resucitada
Ahorrar
Es más que solo
El agua esta helada
A medida que la vida comienza y los pulmones se vuelven a llenar
Este es el espiritu
Mas alla de mi muerte
La novedad del primer aliento de mi vida.

chiudo i miei occhi
solo per vederti
in frammenti
di ricordi
mentre vanno alla deriva
dentro e fuori
della mia mente
lo so
nell'oscurità
tu esisti
come guardiano
con le ali
guardando ancora
su di noi
non sono pronto
baciarti
addio
sempre più
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i close my eyes
just to see you
in fragments
of memories
as they drift
in and out
of my mind
i know
in the darkness
you exist
as a guardian
with wings
watching still
over us
i'm just not ready
to kiss you
goodbye
forevermore

'Tu me manques' is a French phrase which means I miss you, However, it has a deeper translation " a part of you is missing from me".. You are a part of me...
Locked in illusion of wounded feelings and poignant memories
a paintbrush spills the canvas an alla prima of translated thoughts.
In embellished wet colors dreams entwine tarnished draperies
as shredded pieces connect jigsaw puzzles and scattered dots.
Tu me manques.... how do I align images distorted on blind spots?
Alla Prima is a painting method where the artist completes his work in one session while the paint is still wet.
