Premium Member Your Latin Radere - the Etching
Beautiful, burnished, brilliant
Yet, my ink friendly inclinations produce a chemical discrepancy
And now, you come – Artist
Scratching, on my polished mental plate
Do not blacken me with your fumigating candle
Do not soak me in your acidic bath
Yet, here you are, sketching to leave your design
Ever so lightly, you etch, carefully, penetrating 
Acid soaks into your carefully drawn...

Premium Member Oye, Latin
There I stood, flushed: gripping
a  diaphanous pelvis of his guitar, 
he rips a pulpy drool of velvet notes…
glossy under a roulette of lights,
saucy on the parquet floor upon
an artist's feet :his  body movement 
resembling a twisted weave;  the
bossa nova of high timbre frothing scales
of primitive jungle moans,
while Latin hands roll  with...

Born Defective
I come from the land of coffee,
plastic breasts and nonsense,
drugs and narco past, 
very proudly they'll exalt.

Woman so pretty as blow-up doll, 
got so many surgeries, you don't know what you touch.
Reality or banality, 
inflatable, fillers,
makeup, extensions, 
lashes and nails.
Got your complete package for the fair right price.

Blame society, men, the patriarchy, for the pancake...

Latin Lover
The heat of your breath hitting against me
Firing up my insides...seethingly sexy
Against my neck fascination begins
Bearing your silken Latin mocha skin
Wanton chocolate eyes melt me again

Dozens of synergies and elements connect
None I have had ...ever had this effect

Feeling like a kid :) ...hands in your pocket
Pressing your cool nose against my eye socket... :)
Silly me...

Mojito Conjuring
Mojito Conjuring 

When the bruja in the red dress
sends me out this time,
it is for the taste of
sour oranges and garlic.
Once, when I plied her 
with a cigar called Hoyo de Montyerrey,
she coiled the smoke, 
said that I was still feral and untamed,
sent me out for sugar so that
I could learn my true name.
Scythe-swinging, field-slave-singing,...

Bichyinthemorningtarianism Medical Latin: Painus Inda Buttibus
It’s not rare ; it’s a common plight..
Best way to start a good fight.

There are a lot of studies about diseases,
Symptoms include coughs and sneezes.

Aches, pains, fever and depression,
Even  fetishes and obsession.

These symptoms may include sundry conditions.
 Including vomiting, diarrhea and other emissions,

But by far none can cause more pain suffering and miserablearianism,
Than an...

Eterni Amoris Latin
Death tegit et mens impetro lost in tempore.
  Desidero labris tuis
 Quantum olim Jesus.
 Deum nos, sed fieri sentio traditur.
 Tulit te sine cogitatione me
 Vota
 Somnis
 Spes esse te
 Hopefully, quod futurum esse

 I tactus decipiaris
 Vestra rideat
 Deus me ludos iocosque
 Media cadunt
 Et somnium somnio
 Sed somnis deficeretur
 Porrigere I
 Sed...

Latin Lesson
We'll start from the beginning
A little bit of Ah and Awe
Sound out the consequential consonants
Speak low? Speak up!
Don't forget to roll your R's!

First verbs in present tension
Know your diphthongs and declensions
Vocabulary, adjectives, et,  ad nauseam
That doesn't sound right
Did you forget to roll your R's?

Soon we practice in the forum
Painting words with such decorum
Past to...

Disembarking from the Stygian ship

The Latin Dancers
Midnight was approaching and the dance floor was stark
Colors of the spectrum were weaving and leaving their mark
Lights spun in brilliant flashes of reds, greens and blues.
Sparse bodies were gyrating as if music pulsated the hues.
The music stopped.

He stepped out of the shadows; on his arm was a dark beauty.
They  walked into the hushed...

A Beautiful Latin Girl
A BEAUTIFUL LATIN GIRL

From South America I
Find a girl gifted and
endowed with beauty
My humble Latin woman
Of great and terracious honour

Eyes like a tempest blue sea
So pure and chaste
Like Adriatic sea.

Soft body like dew on 
Evergreens Flowers 
So clean without blemish
Black hairs like a fur

So long like the Nile
Attractive like a magnet 
Thousands heart it melts
A...

Timendi causa est nescire (Ignorance is the cause of fear).
– Seneca


About two thousand years ago,
when Quintilianus said it
(at least, that’s who gets the credit),
his paradigm was apropos:
the words “Vestis Virum Reddit.”

Garbed in leather, silks, and cotton,
emperors took his words to heart
(at least, they tried to look the part).
While rags for the misbegotten
kept wealth and hoi...
