Lost in translation

Words, words, words.

I want to be a poet so bad. But the leters can't make the right chords. To make the melody evenly sad. To flurish it with a spark, big words, ornaments, or some genius. Competing with myself, perfection itself, I am left speechless.
Stroke feathers of a lamb lit fire in a lamp. Nothing is impossible. The possibilities are endless. Endlesness is endless.
I want to touch souls like mine. The universal language of love. Spread understanding. Or find it. When touching it, light it on fire and watch the flames bloom. Methaphors, conections, puns, and games. In a sharp mind, all may be relevant. Thus am I so frustrated. Pride and prejustice, teach me your ways. Foxes, teach me your ways. Shamans, teach me your ways. Please, please, let me be the soul I want to look at. Sharpen me like a knife. Knife that can carve a Venus and David. Auguste Rodim, make me your thinker. Catch me before I fall. Please. Until it's not too late.

CLERIHEW ecphrasis XX

Sculptor Auguste Rodin
with two hands* once did begin
Placing then in parallel
an allegory therein does dwel!

Pierre -Auguste Renoir - artiste
whose art ones eyes can always feast
Especially 'CUP of CHOCLATE'
one which all can easily relate

Crown of Germany's Grand Duchess

I had never seen such a regal crown
It was sparkling full of jewels
Looked like it was freshly polished
It belonged to the Grand Duchess grandpa said
Auguste Victoria, German’s finest queenly monarch
I could tell that he had been smitten
How did we get it, Grandpa?
My great-great-grandfather would never tell he said.
We smiled at each other, knowing our family well.
Most of us are popular extraverts, adored by many.
Just be yourself, he said. Great things will happen.
And of course, he was right, and they did.

Soliloquy In Three

Sculpture  ~  The Thinker  ~  Auguste Rodin

What's life for?
"To be or
not to be",
sums up me:
questioning
everything.
Should I go
or say no?
Do I fight
or take flight?
Close my eyes
or apprise
all that's swirled
in the world?
Go outside,
take a ride?
Or stay home,
write a poem?
Read a book?
Take a look
at the news,
or refuse?
Leave my job,
be a slob -
or work more
at each chore?
Help to feed
those in need?

Answers come,
but where from?
Deep within,
where it's been
waiting for
"To be or
not to be",
now I see:
always start
with your heart -
there you'll find
peace of mind.

The Beauty of the Statue of Liberty

(Fact not fiction. True research).

Birth place creation from France
The one and only Queen of freedom 
Along side of Queen of England.
Sculptured design by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi
The statue of liberty was and built by Gustave Eiffel.
Arrived in 214 in a package case from Roven France.
I can imagine that was a lot of weight and work well done in deed
June of 1885 the completed Statue became dedicated.
Of course it was dedicated on October 28th,1886 by president Grover Cleveland. 
 designed as a National Monument in 1924. and becomes the Americas most famous symbol of freedom. with it star of it's own.one of a kind even I would want one of my own.
Beautiful for sure the statue will always be. I've seeing it up close it's taller than a tree.
All statues have a history that means something to the world
Of what was then and now without them all  we would of never now what was then and now having a art to go with the books.

Circus Clowns

I played the auguste to Coco the clown.
    Acting charades, with a smile and a frown.
    Crowds clapping, and jeering,
    Loud laughter, then cheering,
    When tumbling over, my trousers  fell down.

Kiss of Rodin

KISS OF RODIN

My body rages with your close proximity
You heed the heady breathing of my heart
A lover’s touch, rose petals of magnanimity
The Kiss of Rodin’s rapturous sculpted art

You heed the heady breathing of my heart
Becoming vulnerable with aching breast
The Kiss of Rodin’s rapturous sculpted art
Limbs wrap around me, our lips pressed

Becoming vulnerable with aching breast
Voluptuous emotions, a mind-blowing high
Limbs wrap around me, our lips pressed
Rhythmic movements of the earth and sky

Voluptuous emotions, a mind-blowing high
A lover’s touch, rose petals of magnanimity
Rhythmic movements of the earth and sky
My body rages with your close proximity

Auguste

soon enough I discovered
her neighbor calls him Caspar or Caspor
but it wasn't long
before I named him Auguste

he has claimed my love's apartment—
even hypnotized her to have ready
water and treats on one corner

but what impressed us most,
the first time he laid eyes on me,
he started rolling over and over me
on the loveseat

thus, he has seduced us entirely
every time he prances down the hall,
when the back door has been left slightly ajar,
our eyes light up—each hoping to be the one
he'll first approach for petting

Don'T Blame Me: I Never Gave My Consent To Be Governed

Auguste Blanqui was correct to assert
"Revolutionaries aren't born, they are made"
They're being made everyday, but Sunday,
At the hands of a corrupt State, 
One they've tirelessly helped to create 
- If we are to become its product 
What then can be expected of change?

In a world full of self-made victims 
Responsible for their own problems 
- Brutality, usury, 
indoctrination and assimilation: 
The end results of our inaction!
Don't tell me about the problems
Try explaining how you never saw this coming!

Complain about the times 
And I will come to remind, 
time and time again:
"You have no one but yourself 
to shower with your blame;
For being seduced by the corrupting ways
of an inhuman system 
by subjugating yourself 
with the oath of a vote to its authoritarian state."
- And them right there is "fightin' words" in a "civilized world!"

Don't bemoan about the awful smell
After building your own jail cell; 
Otherwise, 
Don't tell me: 
"If you don't vote don't complain." 
- Because these two things 
are very much the same...

The Choice

Blindly chased success
had to stop and make a choice---
Life with a purpose
