Best Bis Poems


Endless Horizon

Endless Horizon / Endloser Horizont /  Horizonte infinito  

Endless horizon
Where waves outpour
Up to the sky 


Endloser Horizont
Wo Wellen sich ergießen
Bis zum Himmel 


Horizonte infinito
Donde derraman las olas
Hacia el cielo

Pablo Neruda

Oh unruhige Welt,
höre seinen Gesang,
vom rauschenden Ozean 
bis zur weiten Kette der Anden

Erhabenes Macchu Picchu,
hier wandelt sein Geist
zwischen den Nebelbänken 
des Urabamba und den
eisigen Höhen der Berge

Du hattest viele Leben,
den für ein einziges 
war keine Zeit.
Deine Worte klingen in mir
mit der Melancholie
verlöschender Sterne 

Der Pöbel, der dich verletzte,
ließ dir keine Zeit mehr
zum Dichten,
deine Lieder aber in uns
werden niemals erlöschen



Oh troubled world,
hear his voice,
from the soothing sounds 
of ocean's surf
to the wide rangeof the Andes

Sublime Macchu Picchu
here his spirit strolls
between the foggy banks
of the Urabamba and
icy heights of the mountains

You had many lives,
as for only one 
there was no time.
Your words sound in me
with the melancholy
of dying stars

The mob who hurt you,
did not give you the time
for new verses,
but your songs in us
will never cease



¡Oh mundo intraquilo,
oír su voz!
De los sonidos suaves
de las olas del océano
hasta la altura de vasto  Andes

Sublime Macchu Picchu
aquí su espíritu deambula
entre los bancos de niebla
de la Urabamba y
heladas alturas de las montañas

Ha tenido muchas vidas,
como para una solo
no había tiempo.
Sus palabras suenan en mí
con la melancolía
de estrellas moribundas

La plebe que te hizo daño,
no te dará el tiempo
para nuevos versos,
pero tus canciones en nosotros
nunca jamás expirarán

Me' Fury

Me’ Fury

Me’ fury, ensue, inasmuch of the bullies; my halo es leaning, me’ grimace is beaming, my hand on the hilt, mahound be at awe, es me’ duty

Sheathe the’ inedible reach, lid thy albinism duress, your forehead me’ claymore to rest, snipe fell manual take topheth, down to the cove shall descend 

Coffer, tricely  Mankind, pending another one come, donion debar de devil, Lord with the wade, or bis mein Woden o hoard


His Name Is Jesus

A dignitary, a friend, a father, a king
The only king that was born in a manger
And ended up as a manager
And now sits in the heavens
Making the earth his footstool
As the overall manager
That after now, anyone who still sees him as a stranger
Is already in danger

As a manager, he doesn’t have a P.A
Yet can never make mistakes
He is the only manager who does not need a coach
Before he can feature his mercy in your life’s tournament
In the league of champions or champions league
He is always at the top of the table
He is the only manager whose love for his fans is more concentrated than acid

Do you want to feel high?
Take him like your drink
Smoke him like your grass
Because he is the most high
In fact, that makes me call him my royal highness

I call him the faithful pastor
The first and last prophet
The origin and insertion of creation
The magistrate of our efficiency
Our burden bearer

Some call him the beginning and the end
But I call him
God at the beginning, 
God at the end
And God in between
Cause he is the one who began the beginning
Yet did not begin in the beginning
Because the beginning couldn’t have begun
If the beginner just began in the beginning 

With him, you can be sure that life is good
Because he is more reliable than LG
With him, you don’t need either Glo or MTN networks
To rule your world everywhere you go

You don’t need a face book page to like him
You don’t need a twitter account to follow him
You don’t need a Google map to search for him
You don’t need a blackberry pin to ping him

All you need to do is to subscribe to heavenly free BIS now
And enjoy free life’s unlimited data

His name is JESUS

Jesus is the key
And if Jesus is the key, 
Then any life without him is titled “off key”.

Sanitized For Your Own Protection

“Sanitized for Your Own Protection”



non bis in idem 
“untrue”, she considered
the letter was passed 
between steel lines
vertical 
and read
“you’re not born again
until you are dead”
signed 
“Sanitized for Your Own Protection”


Invisible, the cuts in a heart.


Love in its many parts
A Jigsaw Puzzle
Bleeding
pieces of a life 
moved around 
on clean courthouse tables
before all the books of Judges
discounted time now lost
heartache and the truth recognised for what it was, 
reprised like a mouse trapped on a spinning wheel
unable to "get off"


Red
A Road Light
the doe stopped dead in her tracks
was roadkill from the start
she was marked
pulled apart
and disjointed
by the beloved hunter
a haunted unnamed ghost
now seeking forgiveness
tongue out to receive the host


A Jigsaw Puzzle
pieces moved 
forward on a 
black and white board
bleeding out
the violence unseen 
sanitized
abstract bruises hidden
light and dark 
veiled like a bride
maintain some kind of dignified 


Silence;


but not the eyes
non bis in idem

(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

when the risk to remain tight in a bud 
was more painful 
than the risk it took to blossom.”

Future Dreams/ Zukunftsträume/ Somnis De Futur (Catalán)/Sogni Futuri (Italian) Sentanka

Your future dreams
Empty paper in your hands
Disguised as desire

Your words written in silence
Until the last sunlight vanishes

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


Deine Zukunftsträume
Leeres Papier in deinen Händen
Als Wunsch verkleidet

Deine Worte in Stille geschrieben
Bis das letzte Sonnenlicht verlöscht

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


Seus somnis per al futur
Blanc de paper a les seves mans
Disfressat com un anhel

Les teves paraules escrites en silenci
Fins a la llum del sol extingit

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

I tui sogni per il futuro
Foglio bianco nelle tui mani
Travestito da un desiderio

Le tue parole scritte nel silensio
Fino al quando il sole si spegne ultimo


Note: The Catalán version is for Ruben and the Italian one for Lisa-Marie and Charma


Premium Member Endless Horizon

Beautiful day, towards the endless horizon
a tangerine and yellow sunlight's heart
has burst with a vibrant bright capri
and azure skies, as shadowed zaffre rolling ships
meet the silent bice cerulean horizon.
Extending giving way to the clear mirror
bleu de france sea denim shadows and the scent of salt.
Into the captivating beautiful smudges
of coral, lavender, turquoise, oceans' depths
that cannot compare; to the deep-sea creatures
that prefer to remain that lures divers into their depths.

7/16/2018


Bice, from the French bis, originally meaning dark-coloured, is a green or blue pigment made from basic copper carbonate.

April 5, 1945 By Satis Shroff

5. APRIL 1945 (Satis Shroff)

Sie trug einen roten Wintermantel
Und hielt einen Gehstock in der Hand.
Gabriela Klein überquerte den Zebrastreifen,
Neben der neue schwarzen Unibibliothek.
Eine Kompanie von Soldaten im Kampfanzug
Kamen von der anderen Straßenseite.
Ihre Schritte verlangsamten und ihr Körper zitterte.
In ihrem Geist, ist sie im April 1945:
Die Franzosen haben Freiburg in den Besitz genommen.
Die Werwolf Hitlerjugend wollte das Schwabentor sprengen.
Freiburgs tapfere Männer haben’s verhindert.
Wie werden die Franzosen uns behandeln?
Sie hatte damals keine Ahnung,
Daß der Krieg schon vorbei war.
Kein Radio,
Keine Zeitungen.
Ausgangssperre von 19 Uhr bis 7 Uhr.
Obwohl die Deutschen und die Franzosen
Einst Erzfeinde waren,
Benahmen sich die französische Soldaten diszipliniert.
Tagsüber suchten die Leute nach Nahrung.
Die rückkehrenden und verletzten Soldaten
Verursachten die Nahrungsknappheit.
Sie erinnerte sich, daß sie Nachts
 Felder durchsuchte um Kartoffeln zu stehlen.
Damals verwalteten die Franzosen die Stadt.
Als die Soldaten vorbei marschieren,
schlägt Gabriela’s Herz wieder normal.
Sie hört auf zu hyperventilieren
Und schafft es auf die andere Straßenseite.
‘Huch!’ nuschelt Gabriela:
‘Ich bin mal wieder am Tagträumen.’

After World War II, Freiburg was in the French occupation zone, and it became part of the new German  state of Baden-Württemberg in 1954.

Bull-Bison Rodeo, Part Ii

...I must’ve passed out not long after that,
in the hospital people did say
that bison and bull went for ten minutes,
before the tired, and both slunk away.

The people called it the best rodeo
that any of them had ever seen,
some hippies protested, what else is new,
they said treating bison that way was ‘mean.’

And the Forest Service took my statement,
it was clear they thought I was at fault,
but they could not book me for any crimes,
none had seen the first charge, after all.

Some of the bull-riders thought I was tough,
and declared I should take up the sport,
they even wrote a song about the day,
but didn’t mention how I ruined my shorts.

I just declined, having more than enough
‘fun’ riding on the backs of bis cows,
I just wanted to find some quiet job,
if this mad universe would allow.

But I should’ve known this wasn’t my luck,
and soon events would somehow conspire
to make me baptize the pope himself
in a church that was strangely on fire…

Cloudless / Wolkenlos

Over the desert,
lingers cloudless 
an empty sky,
purposeful, 
scorching, 
withers the sun the sands.


Unreal the colours,
from blue to cream,
where shadows play
and sun-rays 
paint their solid pictures.


I am crossing the dunes, 
breathless,
like a  last  traveler,
with an uncertain future, 
fearless
and without haste.


At the horizon
a fatamorgana,
a dark hull,
white flying sails,
spread  into endless sands,
melting away
in a vibrating heat.


A permanent up and down,
ridges, 
blown away with the breeze,
valleys of dunes, 
portrayed  by the winds,
firm views,
far up to the horizon.


Like dreams of  fire and sand, 
petrified in the evening light,
red-hot.
And only the wind scatters 
the  muffled sound 
of my steps.

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

Über der Wüste,
liegt wolkenlos 
ein leerer Himmel,
mit Bedacht, 
alles vesengend, 
dörrt die Sonne den Sand.


Unwirkliche Farben,
von blau bis hellgelb,
wo Schatten spielen
und Sonnenstrahlen
malen sie ihr kräftiges Bild.

  
I wandere über die Dünen,
atemlos,
wie ein  letzter Wanderer
mit ungewisser Zukunft ,
furchtlos
und ohne Hast.


Am Horizont
eine Fatamorgana,
ein dunkler Rumpf,
und weiße Segel
breiten sich aus im  endlosen Sand,
vergehen 
in der zitternden Hitze.


Ein wiederkehrendes Auf und Ab,
Gräben,
hinweggeblasen mit dem Wind,
Täler und Dünen,
vom Winde gemalt,
im festen Blick
bis weithin zum Horizont.


Wie Träume von Feuer und Sand, 
erstarrt im Abendlicht,
rot und heiß.
Und nur der Wind  zerstreut 
meine gedämpften Schritte.

Premium Member A Sick Leprechaun

A leprechaun named Harry P. Happy
Felt really sick,and needed a nappy.
He took Pepto Bis.
Before his math quiz,
His answers were all wrong, but quite snappy.

Unbelievably

I don't  believe this­ how could it be?
The love of my life ­just walked out on me
Now is when the hear­tbreak comes to call
Unbelievably In an i­nstant I just lost it­ All

Unsure whether to scr­eam or to cry
Every part my Soul w­ants to die 
I need you like I ne­ed the air
We had dreams why is­ life so unfair?

Together working towa­rds our goal
Assumed wed be toget­her & grow old
Unified your hand fo­rever I would hold
Truth is you left me­ months ago

Optomistic heart refu­ses to let you go
Praying with help yo­u'll get  some clarit­y
Your heart knows you­ belong with ME
I love you why won't­ you let me in?

Amazing feeling your ­skin on my skin
We slacked didn't pu­t each other first
Come back to me we c­an make it work
Remember the things ­we were gonna do?
no one on Earth for ­me there's only YOU

How I wish that you n­ever got sick
Tell the Man I adore­ that hes sorely miss­ed
That he's the sole o­wner of my heart
Remember we clicked ­right from the start?­

The best first date e­ver on Earth
Can't imagine this s­oul crushing hurt
We said if we can't ­make it no one can
Dreamed of a life wi­th my lover & best fr­iend
.­
You disappeared  slo­wly, I hate this dise­ase! 
has completely devas­tated & ruined me
Our love story one o­f the greatest ever t­old
You are the piece th­at makes me whole

Somehow you forgot an­d left me lonely 
Left alone and wrack­ed with insecurity
We  believed  that w­e were meant to be
Brokenhearted as you­ slipped away slowly

We let this happen th­at's how it came to t­bis
I believed that we a­greed that we'd never­ quit 
Suppose I just wasn'­t worth the fight?
You'll miss me on th­ose cold lonely night­s

I loved you since the­ day that we met
One day  you'll be f­illed with such regre­t
Loyal & dedicated I ­did everything right
Fought for both of u­s put up a good fight

How can we fix this w­hat can we do? 
Finally figured out ­its not me its you
You understand me li­ke precious few 
Planned to wear thos­e rings dreams of "I ­do"

Rare love that  roman­tic poems are penned ­of
You don't give up on­ this kind of special­ love
Your heart knows I'm­ the best Women for y­ou
Devastated watching ­as you fade from view

Premium Member Pink Haired Faerie Girl

The pink haired faerie girl has hair the color of Pepto Bis.
I laughed when I heard this; she is my friend, Little Pink Fizz.
She is furiously funny, and fantastic to know as a friend.
She has obstinate opinions, and they never falter or bend.

Little Pink Fizz lives a few houses down the block from me.
She invites me over often to drink pink peppermint tea.
We have perfect persimmons and pancakes with plums.
I love being with Miss Fizz, she is all kinds of fun!

Far Away Christmas - My Christmas Wish

I wish we were laying in the bed together this morning.
To cuddle and talk, or just stare into each others eyes.
We could watch the day slowly brighten, or the dewdrops on the window forming.
I would love to run my fingers through your hair and never have to say goodbye.
I'm so happy to have you, and a love that is so strong.
Heck, if I was a real musician, I would've put this in a song. . . hehe
I will be thinking about you, as I always do
And I guess there's not much left to say, except goodbye or should I say bis bald, and I love you.
Merry Christmas  oo

Bis Bald

As daylight disappears, and the stars begin to show their eyes,
 
A little piece of me, melts into tears.
 
Maybe it's the thought of absence,
 
or the forever it seems to take, i fear.
 
Until i hold you again, 
 
my heart is where you will stay.
 
I will dream my little dreams,
 
remembering the happiness in our hearts,
 
when they had their times to play.
