Seven Kingdoms
			I

The Holy Bible said seven kingdoms would arise,
then like windblown grains of sand, fall to the dust
Six kingdoms have come and gone, blinked their eyes
and we’re now, in these last days, living on the cusp

But let us first do a fast biblical rewind,
go back in...

Premium Member A Letter To Dear George
Dear Lord Byron
Please don't be upset
I wish to call you George
With affection and respect

The "Destruction of Sennacherib"
I was introduced to your poem
I learned it word for word
As I sat home all alone

You see George the meaning
Is much more than you know
In school I had no...

Premium Member Echoes of Ancient Tales
Written: June 22, 2023


In the realm of ancient lore, I yearn to reside,
To bear a deep dive into tales untied.
Achilles, a warrior with a heart of fire,
Hector, noble and valiant, to whom I aspire

Agamemnon, a leader with ambitions high,
Athena, wise and cunning, is always nearby.
The...

The foundation that lead to the greatest civilisation
Which has open the eyes of many and de ears of hearers
We stood so strong from the river Nile

Premium Member The Fault Line
The fault line streamed from the Nazi state,
The Jewish Shoah, Holocaustic fate.
Mongolia, Croatia, and Belarus,
Humanity had no excuse.

Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan, 
The full scope of terror's sad sway,
In Cambodia they pointed their fingers
To where the horrid 'Killing Fields' lay.

The dire purges in Mother Russia,...

Premium Member Alexandria
Long before Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians and Greeks, 
Before Hammurabi, Sargon and Ramses ruled 
The world below their feet;
Before biblical scenes and mythological dreams 
Of magical carpet rides,
I knew you back then 
Where sea breezes begin
And history was a gleam in your eye...  
Alexandria, Alexandria,...

Premium Member The River of Life
I wish I could immerse myself 
in the pages of history, time, 
and deep reflection...letting go 
of everything I think I know 
and give myself another chance 
to clarify my perceptions and beliefs
in the river of life that flows.  

If only I could turn...

Babylon
Words hold the meaning that we assign them
Ever since the fall of the tower .....


Babylon
Ancient land of mysteries solved
and shared
Where collective mind 
cast away the shadow of doubt.

Creative thought 
held siege by the Jealous Gods of war
and retribution
Zeus
Appolo
Yeshua


A hundred times, babylon fell
to the Kassites, the...

Premium Member When Savages Sang Strongly 2
Destiny demands that we be the debtor 
that we sacrafice for the skin of our future,
We left the cradle of the Caucasuses to explore,
to plant the dreams of our Creator,
venturing into the virgin chaos
where the tiger tears apart the trespasser
We made the way, we made...

OH! Phoenix, teach me your ways and means
How to reproduce oneself unlike beings
You! The resident of an oak or Palm tree
Living up to a life of hundred years free.

OH! Darling of Assyrians, teach me your ways and means
Ye! the depositor of the temple of the...

Judith Beheading Holofernes By Artemisia Gentileschi
In the shadow of the night, a woman stands,
Her eyes, as chilly as the winter's winds,
Her hand raised high, a sword in her hand,
Her face, a mask of pure malice.

She towers over a man, his body on a bed,
A red river flowing out of his...

Widsith the Far-Traveler, Part II, translation of the ancient Anglo-Saxon poem
Widsith the Far-Traveler, Part II
ancient Anglo-Saxon poem
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Hrothulf and Hrothgar, uncle and nephew,
for a long time kept a careful peace together
after they had driven away the Vikings' kinsmen,
vanquished Ingeld's spear-hordes,
and hewed down at Heorot the host of the Heathobards.

Thus I have...
