Premium Member Canto Xxvi Hell Translation Part1
Enjoy, Florence, because you so great are
That on seas and ground your wings you flutter,
And down in hell your name around spreads far!

I found five, among the stealers’ clutter,
Your citizens which then made me ashamed ,
And you sign of honor do not utter.

But if close...

Premium Member Love of Wisdom: Philosophy
Why isn't philosophy written most wisely
in poetic verses,
redundantly both-and 
analogical ecology?

Declassifying classic philosophic historians
continuing relentless great debate
about which is most important,
truth or beauty?

This same political philosophy pit 
drifted off a bit 
from scientific recovery
as economics shifted smart wealth 
away from intimate health.

When did love of...

I am not into labels, and I don't believe in fables
And I know that God is real
He's more than invisible, more than tangible
He's more than a feel
And I not denominations bashing
But the reasons for them is because of difference of opinions
And what's with the...

Train My Love
Train my love oh train my love. 
My train doesn’t flame.
It burns deeply inside. 
In my heart I am happy. 

Train my love oh train my love. 
Your coach swings. 
Swing by concussion.

Train my love oh train my love. 
Train my love. 
Continue your services....

The Point Is This
Until a point is posited,
Its position is unclear;
Whether on a pencil
Or belief embraced so dear.

Until a point is set upon
A concrete place of view,
Its meaning is unknown,
Its validity not true.

Until a point is taken up
And held close to the breast,
Defended and declaimed upon,
Its measure is...

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake – Part Twenty-One

Meantime the Faithful gathered for prayer sans delusions
His Holiness excused himself for the usual ablutions --
The Commandant backtracked to an official car for pow-wow --
Lights dimmed as indoor lights were turned on for inspections

Starch stiff blue-black uniforms and...

The Number 27
In the pages of history
there's a baffling mystery
about the passing of the crew 
since eighteen ninety two.

Bright stars turned to dim 
whether fat or slim, 
no one's young, no one's old,
they were all in same horde. 

As I saw the leaves fell,
the blowing wind came...

Aah How Great the Taste of Water
Aah... how great the taste of water...

After lounging in bed until
late morning/early afternoon
we (the missus and I) felt restless
as garden variety buffoon
or think chrysalis itching

to escape encased within cocoon
nevertheless, she mustered hubby
long since retired dragoon
late morning/early after light
clothing he must post haste festoon
he protested against...

Again
If my tongue I could just tame
Your dear heart I would not maim
Every time we play this game
Seems the outcome is the same
First my quick words cause a strain
Then my impulse is to blame
So again I’ve caused you pain
All I feel now is the shame
Please...

hidden intentions
forseen      from afar
set in the dark
tracks in the stone
to posterity through cloisters
with empty streams
a desert
     of aged rivers
folds of nothingness
now run cold

treasures like rain
in abundance
lies
     unnoticed
customs    rites ...
